CALL ON COL. WILLARD
Has Report on Point Judith Harbor
of Refuge Wanted.
TFnom THE tribune BuREAu.I

Washington July 17-Lieutenant Colonel
Joseph II. Willard, of the corps of engineers
Of the army. has been called upon by the Cc,-Ss
OF engineers to furnish to the War Department
without more delay than is absolutely necessary
the report of his survey of the improvements
necessary in the extension of the breakwater in
the construction of the Point Judith harbor Of
refuge. No in the department is able to
account for the delay in Lieutenant Colonel Will
lard's office. but. official said to-day. it
is felt that he must have good reasons for his
failure to give the department the benefit of his
observations and inquiries in regard to that
important project.
Most of the reports OF similar work contem-
plated in the latest River and Harbor Appro-
priation act have been submitted. and Lieuten-
ant Colonel Willard has had since March in
which to make his estimate of the improvements
authorized at the last session of Congress. In
the mean time the people of the neighborhood
are sending complaints to the War Department,
and especial attention is being called to the
fact that few weeks ago the barge Moonbeam
foundered. and five lives were lost. 1t is urged
that the work should be undertaken without de-
lay, since this is the season when it may be done
to the best advantage. 1t will be necessary for
the army engineer at Newport to submit the re-
port of his survey, which will have to be ap-
proved by the chief of engineers Then Lieuten-
ant Colonel Willard viii have to prepare the
specifications which to form part of the
contract. The next step will be an application
from him for authority to ask for bids and then
the public call for proposals will have to be pub
lished for a month or Bids will then be
opened by Lieutenant Colonel Willard, submitted
to Washington with his recommendation of
award rejection. 1t will be at least two
months before the contract can be made and it
be insufficient time to carry work the project
very far before cold weather will stop it,
Congress appropriated 100000 for this work
in March, and authorized contract for S1O0,
900 additional work at Point Judith. the con-
tract to provide for completing the breakwater
to the easterly or shore end with view of fur
niShing shelter for passengers, cargoeS and
crews of vessels in distress and for the lifebOats
of the Point Judith service 1t is expected that
there will be little further delay the part of
Lieutenant Colonel Willard in making the re-
port on his survey

.elared that if the defendant should be found

rnents published by the defendant were will
fully deliberately and malciousy false in every
particular" He said he wished to give him the
widest possible latitude in his attempts to prove

deavored to show that the Second Construction

sociates or the City Real Estate Company. He
admitted that he had held stock in the Second

Justice Wyatt halted counsel to ask him how
he connected the Livingston-st. widening with
the article alleged in the complaint to be bellous
This man has been posing as person of high
moral standing" Mr.. Shearn's reply.
District Attorney Jerome broke in and said
New-York tribune., 1905-07-18

we want to give these people the widest pos
sble latitude. They have made statements in
this article wilfully deliberately and maliciousy
false in every particular They have uttered a
malicious and wilful lie, and when the time
comes to ask for punishment, If II shall come as
we expect it will, we shall not ask for fines, but
for Imprisonment"
MT Grout then denied that he was q stock
holder in the Livingston Amusement Company

atre Company. He said that. so far as he knew

L see suggestion in this article that in some
way the Brooklyn improvements would be Of
benefit TO you. Were they in any possible way
direct or indirect, of any benefit TO you, your
relatives or political associates?' Mr.. Jerome
asked.
1T not"
DO you think the price was fair?"
Il believe S500000 was fair; il would have
cost more by condemnation proceedings"
Have you ever owned any gas stock?"
Never"
Did you your relatives receive any benefit
from your action in the gas matter?"
mo, sir"
Mr. Grout also denied that Mr. Belmont or
Mr.. Reynolds had contributed TO his campaign

Local Authorities Order Him Deported for
Accepting $4,000 from Uncle.

George dab. young Syrian, who came to this
country on July the steamer Romantic, has
been ordered depored by the inaIigrat ton authori-
ties. This action has been taken because charge
of embezzling 5000 belonging to the Orthodox
Greek Church has been made against him by
Bishop Raphael head of the Church in Brooklyn
Bishop Raphael received his instructions from
Greece, and informed Commissioner Watchorn
Diab denied the money stolen. and, in order to
get free. turned Bishop Raphael two drafts
amounting to 5000.
He says the money was given TO him by his
mother, and to her by his uncle. who was an arch
deacon in the Greek Church. With this money he
intended TO start store in Boston with his brother

that the archdeacon had given the money his
mother, but the Church contends that the arch
deacon had no right to do the ecclesiastical law
holding that all his money should revert 10 the
Church. His brother has made an appeal to the
