The scandal and petty iealousies among
the officers of the canoe fleet which have
been mentioned from time to time in the
the Woodbury. Times, has become such a
serious matter that President Roosevelt
threatens to interfere to save the fleet from
utter demorillzation which would probably
mean the reducing in rank or retirement of
both Admirls Vogt and Sowden. The gen
tlemen were very reluctant to talk about
the matter after receipt Of the Presidents
communication, which was more in the ma
ture Of suggestions than a reprimand and
yet left no doubt as to its meaning, but
they both made a statement that in their
opinion the President was overstepping the
the bounds Of his authority as their fleet
is only an auxiliary one, supported By the
residents Of Wenonah to protect the musk
rat industry along Mantua Creek in time
Of peace, and they defed interference from
the government. Not withstanding their
braggadocio, it is rumored that one Of our
councilmen whose career is about to close, is
preparing a bill which it is hoped Borough
council viii past to reduce both Admirals
to the rank Of powder monkey, it being
set forth that they have grown bald in the
service and that their efficiency and gallan-
try are beginning to lag.

KeIIy's Mind Has Failed.

st. Louis, March 20.-Charles F.
Kelley's mind has failed under the
strain that has held him since the
fight against bribery was begun
more than three years ago, and he
has been removed to st. vincent's
asylum.
The strain on Kelley has perhaps
been greater than on any ofthe other
men who have been indicted for par
ticipating in the famous bribery case.
Kelley was rather higher mentality
than the average member OF the
combine" and he held a position Of
influence in the business world. he
had a prosperous business and Q
happy home. He was elected speak
or Of the house Of delegates, and
while be was q member Of the COM
bins, and prontsd BY the barter and
sals Of franchises. he managed to
divert suspicion BY posing - q 10
former.
When Kelley was indicted came his
fight to Europe. When be returned
b assumed an dir Of bravado that
10 did not feel. He treated the
matter lightly. apparently, but those
who best knsw him knew that b
kssnly jslt TIE diagraes and realised
the danger Of his posltion.
