NEW BILL REPORTED
PROPOSED REINSTATEMENT OF
DISMISSED MIDSHIPMEN.
Extenuating Circumstances Urged in
Behalf of the Young
Naval Students.

AS result of President Roosevelts mes
sage urging that Congress take action to
reinstate in the naval service Midshipmen
John H. Lafand of Iowa, Earl w. Chaffee
of Wisconsin and Joseph D. Little of Ohio,
who were dismissed from the academy No
vember 6, 1903, for hazing, Representative
Kyle of Ohio has introduced bill to that
effect, and it has received the favorable re-
port of the House naval affairs committee.
The original measure providing for the re-
instatement of the three young men in
question was introduced by Representative
Lacey of Iowa. Mr.. Lacey's interest in the
case grew out of the fact that he enlisted
in 1851 in the Sd Iowa Infantry, which was
commanded by the grandfather of Midship
man Lafiand, one of the dismissed cadets.
The Extenuating Circumstances.
Mr.. Lacey urged in support of his bill that
prior to their dismissal the three midship-
men were in the first rank in their studies
and bore excellent regulations. Their MILL
tary records had also been excellent and
they were officers. AS such they inflicted
on members of the fourth class number of
punishments in the shape of ''setting-up"
exercises. Technically their Offense was
hazng, but it was shown that they did not
do the hazing in a malicious spirit or for
fun. The gravity of their offense lay In the
fact that they had no authority to impose
punishment and should merely have report
ed infractions of the rules to their superior
officer.
Another extenuating circumstance, urged
by Mr. Lacey in advocating the restoration
of the three midshipmen, was the fact that
they had not tried to hide the facts or to
shield themselves but had urged their vic
tins, when the latter offered to refuse to
testify against them to tell the truth and
11ft rrtrt1t yyf fob hn To-

New Bill Introduced.

Mr.. Lacey tried to get his bill up under
suspension of the rules, but could not get
the necessary two-thirds voce. In the
meantime President Roosevelt sent his mes
sage on the subject to Congress, and the
new measure, which has already been fav-
orably reported, was introduced.
If the bill becomes law, the young men,
after a rigid examination, will be restored
to the naval service at the foot of the list
of ensigns. Their punishment consequent
ly, is thought to be severe enough.

Rogers to Remain as Collector.

It is now understood to be probable that
Asa Rogers WIFI retain his position as col
lector of Internal revenue of the Richmond
district of virsmiaa He will at least not
be molested for some time, according to
the present program, and later on may be
appointed for another four years. The
President some time ago felt friendly to
Morgan Treat and thought of appointing
him to the place, having given Mr.. Treats
position as United States marshal Of the
eastern district to Capt. ]. E. B. Stuart.
Some complaints were entered against Mr..
Treat and these, together with earnest APP
peals in behalf of Captain Rogers, resulted
in a decision to make no change in the
office at this time. Representative Slemp,
the new patronage dispenser In Virginia. is
understood to desire the retention of Cap
tain Rogers.
Representatives Cooper and Davidson OF
Wisconsin handed to the President q copy

congressional delegation from that state on

Hunting for a Fine Position.

There are said to be less than fifty appli-
cants for the position of director of the bu-
reau of American republics, which will be-
come vacant when w. w. Rockhill the
present director, is made minister to China
to succeed Minister Conger who will be
g to Mexico. The probability is that the
once will be filed by the President with
ouc considerations of political character,
the object being to obtain a man familiar
with the people and institutions of South
America and possessing the necessary ex-
ecutive ability. Three men are prominent
ly mentioned so far
Two of these are newspaper writer's and
travellers of renown, and the third is a
former minister of this country and a rec
ognized student of South American laws
and customs. The newspaper men are
Charles M. Pepper and William e. Curtis.
Both have Travelled extensively in South
American countries and written volumin-
ously about them. OF the two Mr.. Pepper
Is probably best acquainted with the SUBJ
ject. He has had several important pri-
vate and governmental missions through
South America, he speaks and writes Span
ish fuently ard has an inside conception
of the character and habits of the people.
Mr.. Pepper is as familiar with Cuba as
most of the CubanS. He spent much time
there prior to the war with Spain, and 1t
was his exposition of the atrocities OF
Spanish government that did much to Gre
ate public sentiment in the United States.
Mr. Curtis has travelled in every country
of the globe and is great student of the
Latin people. The third man is an au-
thority on Spanish-American laws. lie is
William L. ScruggsAof Atlanta. Because
he halls from Georgia he has little po-
itical backing, but many eminent men will
request his appointment, it is said. Mr..
Scruggs has for more than twenty -hve
years studied tho laws of these countries,
and he has written several books on Ven
ezuela that are used extensively. He was
at one time am attorney for Venezuela in
important litigation that country had with
foreign countries He lived in Venezuela
and Colombia eight years as minister of
the United States. The President has been
favorably impressed awith what has been
said to him in behalf of Williams e. Fox.
chief clerk and editor Of the bureau, and
he will be among those standing good
chance for the SpoStaon.

Gov. Brady Makes a Call.

Governor Brady of Alaska called on the
President with H. d. Reynolds of Valdez
president of large development company
o. Alaska. Governor Brady desired to
thank the President for his renewed express
sion of confidence shown by his reap
pertinent as governor of the territory. At
the same time Governor Brady discussed
with the President some of the needs of
the territory, especially in the selection of
judges who will be above the temptation to
render decisions because of interests they
may have in this or that mining or other
property Governor Brady thinks the only
way to cure this is to pay salaries such as
will secure men for judges Of the highest
character and ability and above the temp
tations thrown out to them by mining COM
panies. Mr.. Reynolds believes that the
enactment of the bill of Senator DIETRICH
Of Nebraska would be helpful and useful

EXPOSED BY BROTHER.
row Gigantic DefaIcation Of Banker
5igelow Was Accidentally Revealed,
Total Debs Nearly Three Million.

A Milwaukee dispatch says: That
William Bigelow, vice president of
the First National Bank and brother
Of Frank c. Bigelow, defaulter, &C.
cidentally exposed his brother to the
directors, is the story that Is accept
ed in banking circles as the true YER
sion as to how the crime was brought
out Saturday night. It seems that
Frank Bigelow was called out Of town
Saturday and that the affairs Of the
bank were left in the hands of his
brother.
Saturday morning a telegram came
addressed to Bigelow from a New
York bank, stating that it was will
ing to take care Of draft for $780,
600, even though the bank was already
indebted to the New York house for
$20O,0O0 William Bigelow could not
understand the matter and was more
puzzled when he discovered that the.
New York bank was charged in the
books with being indebted to the
First National for 100000. He asked
the bank to explain and found that
the telegram was correct. An exam
nation of the books followed and he
found so many queer things that he
decided not to wait for his brother
to return, but to consult with Mr..
Pfster. They Immediately suspected
one Of the cashiers Of defaulting, and
called a. special meeting Of the di-
rectors.
Frank G. Bigelow returned, but did
not see his brother until he reached
the bank in the evening to attend
the meeting. When the directors had
assembled William Bigelow, the broth
er, told what he had discovered, and
stated that he had no idea of the
amount taken Or who the criminal
was. Thereupon his brother arose,
and made the startling disclosure that
he was a defaulter for over $1,000
600.
The latest step in the case is the
filing of a petition involuntary bank
ruptcy by Bigelow. The revised
schedules show a total liability on his
part Of $8,277,oOO, Of which $1,795,
900 is wholly or In part secured.
