SECRETARY HAY MUCH BETTER
Intends to Take a Course of Treatment
at Bad Nauheim.

The State Department has received mes
sage by cable from United States Consul
Roche at Genoa stating that Secretary Hay
Is Immensely improved, and that he has
left Genoa for Milan
A private letter received here today from
Secretary Hay and written from Nervi
states that he is steadily progressing to-
ward complete recovery and is certainly
very much improved. He has a physician
who thoroughly understands his case, and
as one result of his ministrations the Sec
rotary has been enabled to take long daily
walks, of which he is very fond, but which
he had not been enabled to indulge in for a
long time before he left Washington. He
wrote that having obtained the expected
benefits from the baths and climate at
Nervi, he was about to proceed In a few
days, via Milan, to Bad Nauheim. to COM
plete the course Of treatment outlined by
bis physician. Although these German
springs are known in America principally
because of their specific benefit in the treat
ment Of affections of the heart, including
fatty degeneration, they are also famed for
their curative properties In cases of nerv-
GUS depression, and 1t Is for the latter rea-
son that Secretary Hay was advised to visit
Nauheim, where he should arrive In the
course of day or two.

any person who holds an office in a polit-
ical club is announced to be absolutely in
accurate
The fact is that the rules of the civil
service forbid the appointment to office of

in the box of affiant Thomas NJ Fields
had fled the Jurisdiction. as afffant is in
formed and believes, and remained away
for about ten months, until his capture, on
or about the 10th of March, 1905, in the
town of. RayviIle, N. Y, where he resided
under the alias of DR.. Brown, holding him
self out as a physician and pretending to
practice medicine; that when apprehended
he attempted to asSaSsinate the constable
who accompanied the detective from Wash
1ngton sent to arrest him, and was pre-
vented from SO doing by the said detective
Fhat after the capture of Fields affiant
was summoned by the United States attor-
ney for this District to appear before the
grand jury, and in accordance with the
summons, affiant appeared and testified.
and on his testimony Fields indicted;
that the indictment Immediately re-
turned by the grand jury into the Su-
preme Court of the District of Columbia
That thereafter the same grand jury the
I'd of April, 1905, returned the indictment
in the present case against affiant and
Fields, which Indictment was based on tes-
timony of the bank officials and James f.
Padgett, a member of the bar of this court,
in answer to subpoena duces tecum, who
produced the two letters from Fields to the
witness Padgett involving this affiant in his
defalcation; and affiant asserts that his in
dictment was procured on this hearsay tes-
timony.
Formal Request.
That this affiant, by reason of the fore
going, cannot safely go to trial with the
defendant, Fields; that the letters. while
containing confession from Fields, are
not evidence against affiant, but would be
nevertheless prejudicial to affiant if intro
duced on a joint trial; that affiant would
be denied the right of a cross-examina-
ton of said Fields, to which he would be
entitled if Fields told the same story on
the witness stand; and for many other rea-
sons, because of antagonistic defenses, af-
fiant claims the right to separate trial.

Visitors Ahead in Intercity
Golf Match.
ANNOYED BY THE WIND
OTHERWISE THE CONDITIONS
WE'RE IDEAL.
All-Washington and All-Philadelphia
Teams Engaged on the Course of
the Columbia Club
BY THE WIND

But for stiff breeze from the northwes.
todays weather would have been ideal for
the intercity golf match over the course
of the Columbia Golf Club between the
All-Philadelphia and All-Washington teams
The sun shonc brightly and the tempera-
ture, although quite cool was delightful
for the tramp over Columbia's sporty"
course, but the wind retarded or carried the
little white ball it was driven from the
tees of the different holes The course was
in excellent condition.
The Washington golfers have been easy
opponents for the Quakers in previous
matches, the scores being very one-sided
Out the local players have improved with
each season, and ii was believed that to-
DAY contest should be close enough to be
interesting and satisfying to the players of
beth teams Before the match was started
1t was agreed to play for holes instead Of
individual matches, and this arrangement
may upset the calculations of the prophets
N Philadelphia last season two of the
washington players lost by 10 holes while
the match was won by only p holes
Eliminating this great let-down of the two
players today, it can be seen that the
totals at the end should be small either
way
By the time the afternoon match was start
ed several hundred enthusiasts had gather
ed at the capacious club house. many of
whom followed the different prominent
players over the course.
Inc morning play was single matches,
while the afternoon was foursomes or pairs
playing four balls.

drop in the price of May wheat in this

broke here 424c. a bushel. May selling at
9911. against 1.04A on Thursday. July, in
the meantime, declined only &c, having
support at the west. presumably due to
closing out a spread that had been made

the final details remained to be adjusted

The two teams were paired for the morl
ing match as follows:

Seven Of the local team are members of

Columbia Golf Club making I'D about the
strongest aggregation of golfers that can
be gathered In this city. In making I'D the
Philadelphia team few first-class PLAYERS
were left at home
The start Of the match this morning was
delayed but slightly, Messrs Griscom and
Gray being the first to drive away at 1913
the other pairs following al intervals of
about three minutes, the last couple start
ing out at 11:3O.
There was quite a large gathering
around the initial tee to see the pairs drive
off, all but two of the visitors getting away
in fine style, while three of the locals made
poor drives.
Messrs. Anterior and Mcfarland sliced
their drives into the trees to the right of
the first hole, but both got out nicely on
their second shots, although the latter had
quite search to locate his Haskell. w. S.
Hardin topped his drive and rolled into the
bunkers, taking three shots to get onto the
grass again. Mr. Mckinley pulled his
drive. but fortunately got nice lie, while
Mr.. Davidson almost fooled his drive, the

Reports from the players at different
points on the course had a monotonous

ing the high drives off to the sides, either
into the tall grass into trees for bad lies.

IN ITS NEW QUARTERS
CANAL COMMISSION PREPARED
FOR A CAMPAIGN OF WORK.
Contract Awarded for Twenty F our
LOGON otives-Alfred Noble to Be
a Consulting Engineer.

The Panama canal commission is now
comfortably established in its new quarters
in the annex to the Mills building. The Of
ficers of the commission and the clerical
force occupy the entire seven floors of the
annex. with the exception of two rooms al
lotted to Col. Ernst president of the
Mississippi river commission.
The executive committee of the canal
commission have offices on the G street
front of the sixth floor, President Shonts
occupying the room in the southwest cor
ner. with his private secretary, Mr.. Elmer
and Col. Edwards, chief of the insular bu-
reau, in adjoining rooms. Mr.. w Leon
Peprerman. chief clerk of the office also
has room on the sixth floor
large room has been assigned to the
use of the nine consulting engineers for
their meetings. and is furnished especially
for their use. On the wall will be placed a
large contour map of the isthmus. which is
being made at the Smithsonian Institution.
and there are other maps showing sectional
details of the work on the canal.
Contract for Locomotives.
The most important conclusion reached
by the commission at yesterdays session
was to purchase a number of locomotives
for the special purpose of carrying off the
earth excavated in the digging of the canal
and particularly in the Culebra cut
large number of proposals were before the
commission and 1t accepted the lowest bid
that of the American Locomotive Works
Company, for twenty-four locomotives at
$l2.35O each. to be delivered at Colon by
July l. The new locomotives are to be
of the S5-ton double ended type this de-
sign being accepted in order to obviate
the necessity for numerous turntables and
to save time in excavation 1t is estimated
that the big steam shovels will dig more
earth than the locomotives can remove
and the rate of progress consequently will
depend on the capacity of the latter These
locomotives are guaranteed to haul 500 net
tons over IL per cent gradient the heav-
lest on the line of the canal. This is about
three times the hauling capacity of the
small locomotives now engaged in the work
\ number of proposals for freight cars
and other kinds of rolling stock equipment
were considered and contracts soon will
be awarded for these.
Secretary Taft has received the accept
ance of Alfred Noble of his appointment
as one of the board of consulting engineers
of the Panama canal commission Mr.
Noble constructed the 500 canal and is
consulting engineer of the Pennsylvania
railroad in charge of its tunnel project at
