FORMER MIDSHIPMEN
Is Now Literally "a Man Without a
Country"

Washington, March 23.-"A man
without a country" is former Midship-
man Arrowood, of North Carolina,
who was today dishonorably dismiss
ed from the naval academy. The dis
missal carried with it loss OF citizen
ship. Arrowood was tried by court
martial and convicted of deserting the
Kearsarge last January. The courts
recommendation of dismissal was to-
day approved by President Roosevelt
despite the strong influences brought
to bear in behalf of the naval cadet,
for a mitigation Of the sentence so
that Arrowood would not lose his
citizenship.
After his desertion the naval cadet
was soon located in New York city
where he had taken a position In q
brokers' office.
Considerable interest attaches to
the case on account of the allegation
made by the young man, and by his
father a clergyman, that the influ-
ences in the navy were immoral and
that it was this reason that he de
serted
Not for 40 years before had an Off
Ger been tried for desertion.

HEARING IN THE
BEEF TRUST CASE
BEFORE THE FEDERAL GRAND
JURY AT CHICAGO.
Armour's General Manager In Grand
Jury Room Two Hours-Other
Witnesses Examined.

Chicago, March 23-R. c. Howe,
general manager of the Armour Pack
ing plant in Omaha and possibly one
of the most important witnesses be-
fore the grand jury in the federal in
quiry into the alleged beef combine up
to date finished giving testimony at
noon today efter being before the
inquisitors for two hours.
The testimony given by General
Manager Howe is thought to have
been, from the time consumed in the
jury room, Of an important nature.
He declined 20 discuss what took place
in the examination, remarking that he
was forbidden absolutely to talk.
Asked whether he was questioned on a
combination of meat dealers, on pref
erence given by railroads or on beet
rates, he shook his head and preserved
silence.
Several other witnesses were ex-
amined during the day but all pre-
served silence as to the nature Of the
questions asked them.
Rumors that the investigation is to
he in the nature of q "whitewash" for
the packers met with an indignant
denial at the bands of the federal Off
cials.
Special Agent st. Clair is said to be
in daily receipt of offers from various
persons to become witnesses in the
case. The offers, it is thought may
be stimulated by knowledge of the
provisions of last years amendment
to the interstate commerce law by
which any person testifying before
a grand jury in an examination under
this law is entitledsto immunity from
indictment resulting from the inves-
tigation.
Three hundred witnesses in all were
called. Not more than so will be
asked to testify, 1t is said, the others
being considered superfluous or being
held for use as witnesses in trials in
case indictments are returned by the
grand jury.
Concerning this feature, one of the
government officials said: 1--WE want
to keep a reserve force to use when
the case finally goes to trial. If in
able to spring some thing new on the
packers, something they have not
thought Of" s-u. -F.a-..

New York, March 23.-Gessler Ros-

charged with having attempted to
blow up the steamship Umbria by put
ting an Internal machine, containing
100 pounds of dynamite among the
freight the big vessel was taking

Rosseau was arrested in Philadel-

Great in Washington AT that time
he confessed that he had sent the in
fernal machine to the Umbrias dock
in May, 1908. His nerve failed him.
he said, at the thought that the lives
of many innocent persons would be
wiped out in the explosion and he
wrote an anonymous letter to the po-
lice warning them of the presence Of
the machine on the dock. The box
was found and Il proved to be the
most dangerous and ingenious infer

Rosseau also confessed to the at
tempt to blow up the Washington

sanity. He seems rational upon all
subjects except patriotism and upon
this he is a radical against England

If foreign powers make a raid on

of collecting debts from the sister re-

their real intentions. 1t will be the
presidents own utterances made in his
special message to the senate urging
the ratification of the treaty which
would permit this government to take
possession of Santo Domigo's Gus
toms houses and collect and disburse
her revenues.
The president gave expression then
to these striking words.
''If 1t (the treaty. is not ratified the
chances are that American creditors
will fare i'll as compared with those OF
other nations; for foreign nations, be-
ing denied the opportunity to get
what is rightfully due their citizens
under the proposed arrangements, will
be left to collect the debt due their
citizens as they see flt, provided, of
course there is not permanent occu-
pancy Of Dominican territory. In
such case the United States will have
nothing to say as to what debts should
or should not be collected"
But the question is going to be just
what will constitute permanent occu-
pancy". In Venezuela an agent of that
government and representatives Of
preferred German and British credit
ors have entered into an agreement
consolidating their debt in the sum of
S2S,600,000 to be paid for with per
cent gold bonds secured by "conSider-
ably more than so per cent of the Gus
toms receipts CT all the ports excepting
La Guaira and Puerto Cabello." r1,t,.
The receipts of these two ports were
already pledged to the amount of 80
per cent for the benefit of the post
poned creditors" under The Hague
findings. After this withdrawal of 30
per cent shall have reached an unstat-
ed sum, then 25 per cent of the re-
ceipts of La Guaira and Puerto Ca
bello, as well as so per cent of the re-
ceipts of all other ports, are to be set
aside for the benefit of Great Britain
and Germany.
The entire revenue of Venezuela
from customs is only 5000, 100000. The
repayment of s28,60O,0 900 on the basis
of so per cent of this income abund-
antly warrants the French computa-
tion that Great Britain and Germany
will thereby acquire "a preponderat-
Ing influence over Venezuela for fifty
years"
1t is believed this agreement may
finally bring about a naval demonstra-
tion in South American waters witt
one of the greatest fleets the United
States has modified for years. The
president is feeling his way carefully.

belief is rapidly becoming convic-
ton In the minds of high officials that
crisis In the foreign policy Of this
government is rapidly approaching.
The feeling does not arise over debts
owed the United States by Central or
South American republics. The i'm
pending danger is due to the claims
held against Santo Domingo and Ven
ezuela by foreign governments. 1t
would be wide of the mark to credit
United States government officials
with the belief that leading European
governments have reached an under
standing to act in unison If not in
concert looking for the removal of
some of the Objectionable Monroe doc
trine carriers. but 1t is entirely within
the bounds Of accuracy to say that
some officials of this government today
predict that srch q forcible attempt at
debt collection will be made by some
of the government powers as will
cause the United States to resist their
approaches with all diplomatic power.
The state department has assumed
somewhat outward air of disinterest-
ed curiosity with reference to the re-
ports that Belgium is pressing Santo
Domingo for the payment of certain
claims and that Germany and that
German and British bondholders have
consolidated their $2S,000,000 debt
against Venezuela
Unusual activity within the depart
ment and frequent conferences be-
tween Assistant Secretary Adee and
Secretary of War Taft, who is acting
as special counsel for the state depart
ment during Secretary Hays absence
would indicate some matter of graver
Importance, however, than has been
before them for several days. But the
conferences Of deepest significance
were those at the White House.

The report of Inspectors Halbidel
and Roebuck, who examined into the
, affairs Of Stark county, was filed with
Auditor M. W. Oberlin and Prosecut-
ing Attorney f. II. Day yesterday. 1t
Is voluminous document of 151 pages
and goes into the detail of the inspec-
ton. The findings of the inspectors
are full Of interest and free extracts
are herewith published
One of the surprising statements in
the report is that ex-Recorder Charles
A. Dougherty against whom a short
age of S3,52417 was reported, acted
during his las; term without a bond
and that the county was thus without
any protection from loss except as it
can hold Mr.. Dougherty responsible
personally. Upon this subject the re-
port says:
your examiners, after careful eX-
animation fini thai S3.524.17 of the
amount allowed Mr.. DCugherty was
without warrant of law. hence illegally
received by him and should be return
ed to the county treasury. Your ex-
aminers further find that while Mr..
pougherty gave bond when he first
entered office, he gave no bond what
ever to the state covering his second
term as recorder. Mr.. Dougherty ad-
mitted this fact to your examiners.
Mr.. Dougherty stated however, that he
did purchase an indemnity bond, but
for purely private reasons, and as this
was not properly filed and recorded is
not a public document.
IF Mr.. Dougherty failed to give
bond to the state, was he also under
oath of office? If so, where was the
evidence of it, as the law specifically
requires that the oath shall be endors-
ed on the bond"
