PAY DIRECTOR RING
SUBJECTED TO CENSURE
Department Displeased With Several
Occurrences at the Boston
Navy Yard.

Pay Director James r. Ring is CEN
sured by the Navy Department. follow
ing The recommendations of the court
of inquiry that investigated his conduct
Of Affairs at the Boston navy yard.
A statement of the case. with the find
ings OF the court. and the action of the
Secretary, was made public at the de-
partment last night.
ether officers of the navy are CEN
sured for indulging the practice OF writ
ing personal letters on official MAJ
ters," a practice which is declared Sub
versive of discipline and liable to seri-
Gus abuse" The officers thus censured
are understood to be Paynaster General
Harris and Paymaster MCGOWAN. the
latter an important and influential mem
ber of the Navy Bureau or Supplies and
Accounts.
1t was well understood that the diff
ferences between Pay Director Ring. on
the one hand. and Paymaster General
Harris and Paymaster McGowan. on the
other, were as much the subject OF in
vestigation by the court of inquiry as
the alleged misconduct and lack Of dis
cipline atthe Boston navy yard.
."rhe court finds that Pay Director
Ring has been negligent and careless In
the performance of his duty in num-
Der of instances; that his administration
OF his Office has been lax and inefficient
beyond excuse. and that he has shown
q disregard of the provisions OF the
navy regulations TO such an extent as
10 constitute a grave dereliction OF duty.
The court. however, after mature delib-
Grafton upon the whole subject, recon-
menGs that no further proceedings in
the premises be taken.

avowed determination TO have a law
passed controlling the railroads more
strictly. He Is also doubtless aware
tnat or late the opposition TO his plan
have gained many adherents in the
South
Now. he goes to the heart OF the
South and wins IL by making the one
statement that the South has wanted to
hear-the declaration that he sides with
the South on the race question. The
natural result will be to win him many
friends and to make them take his
views and help him In his fight.
Railroads Alarmed.
It is already reported that the oppo-
sition to him on the railroad question
is alarmed by his winning the friend
ship of the South
Another possible result of his South
ern tour is pointed out as follows:
The indications are that the Presi-
dent will have a nomination for an
other term forced on him by his party.
in spite of his statement that he has no
desire for It. If, after reflection and
as result of powerful persuasions, he
were convinced that it would be to the
interests OF his party TO run again.
he would naturally want to make the
best showing possible.
Democratic Ramparrs Threatened.
The friendship of the South would help
produce such a situation as no other one
thing could. The solid South. on which
the Democrats have relied, might be
shattered. The ramparts of Democracy
might be broken down and the banner
of Republicanism float from the highest
forts simply because the President IS a
peacemaker. a diplomat and a statesman
possessed OF unrivaled common sense.
In North Carolina especially. the ef-
feet OF his overtures to the South would
be marked and possible Of great results.
This is the State the Republicans hope
to first swing to their column, and 1t
will be noticed that 1T was on her soil
that Roosevelt made the statement on
the race question. Other States might
be so affected by the removal of the race
question bugaboO that the Republicans
would roll up votes sufficient In number
TO scare the Democrats If not 20 beat
them.

THE whole story. I am convinced, is
preposterous.
I'm the first place. 1t could not be true,
because the japanese and Chinese gov
ernments do not permit girls to be ex-
ported for any purpose; and, second, the
British government would not be likely
TO give protection to such a nefarious
traffic.
such q statement as Mrs. Bushnell
has made should be condemned, for it
may have the effect of giving the people

Gilpin observer., 1905-12-07

The citizens of Colorado were
not in the least surprised when
Senator Patterson was fined by
the supreme court for contempt.
They expected that he would be
found guilty Of the charges. The
position the court was in it could
not do otherwise. To have found
the respondent not guilty would
have been practically admitting
that he was justified in making
the charges against the court that
he had. Senator Patterson was
denied jury trial. In not grant
ing him his request for trial by
jury, when witnesses would have
testified, the court was wise if it
was unreasonable and unjust.
That tribunal seemed to realize
that he could have substantiated
all that he had said in his papers.
The case has been appealed and if
the supreme court of the United
States will take jurisdiction in the
matter it seems almost certainty
that the decision of the Colorado
court will be reversed. At least
thousands of citizens of the state,
who are in favor of justice, hope
it will.

made, within twelve hours the
