EXTORTION IS ALLEGED.
Charges Filed Against Consul General
De Castro.

Mr. Charles Hart of Cleveland, Ohio, has
filed charges at the State Department
against Mr.. Hector de Castro, United States
consul general at Rome, alleging the ex-
action of extortionate fees. 1t appears that
Miss Carlotta Hart, his daughter, was mar
ried to Baron Jules Takacs de Kisjoka of
Hungary last year and that Mr.. Hart
sought the advice of Consul General de Cas-
tro regarding the settlement of certain
debts contracted by his noble son-in-law. 1t
is alleged by Mr.. Hart that he paid Mr. de
Castro $50 for his assistance, and subse
quently received bill of $3.50 from him.
Mr.. Hart refused TO pay the latter amount
on the ground that il was exorbitant for
the services rendered by the consul gen.
eral and much higher than the rates author
lied by the Department of State for similar
services. The matter is under investiga-
ton.

WALTON AND SCANNELL VOTED
THANKS OF CLUB.
Appreciation Shown For Work Done
BY These Men During
Past Season.

At the regular meeting of the Sew
ern Boat Club last night. the annual
election of officers was held. and in
addition to this some other important
business was transacted. including the
admission Of two new members 10 the
organization.
Mr.. J. Lawrence Walton WAS re-
elected captain of the club and crew
unanimously, and was cemplimented
highly upon the manner in which he
has filed this Office since his last cleo
ton. Following the election of Off
GERS. Mr.. Richard Duyal moved that
the thanks of the club be extended to
Captain Walton for the interest ne
has shown in the club during his
term. Mr.. Duval and others who fol-
lowed him were loud in their praise
and appreciation of Captain Walton S
administration.
Since he was elected TO lead the
crew and act as house captain, Mr..
Walton has been indefatigable in his
interest in the betterment of the con.
dition of the club. Not only III the
strict line of the duties of his office,
alone, has he shown this interest, but
in numberless little ways he has done
things for the Improvement of the
clubhouse and the comfort OF the
members, often placing little improve
ments in the clubhouse at his own eX-
pense. The club vas unanimous in
its voicing of its appreciation Of these
efforts
Upon motion Mr. Theodore Sean
nell, who has given his time TO the
coaching of the crew, the supervision
of the construction of the new shell
and many other improvements. and to
whom the increased interest in rowing
is largely due, was also voted the
thanks Of the organization. These
two men have, during the past season,
done more for the general betterment
and improvement Of the Severn Boat
Club than any men connected with
the organization for years and their
reward of thanks was justly due.
The club also adopted new set OF
colors, as the old combination did not
lend itself to the making of uniforms
and flags readily. The club last night
the gold and sable Of the
MARYLAND state arms suitably quar-
tered. The-Rew members admitted to
the club were sMessrs. James M. Mum
