CONSULAR SERVICE IS
SEVERELY CRITICIZED

Washington, March 29.-The presi
dent yesterday transmitted to the
house the report of Assistant Secretary
of State Herbert Fl. d. Pierce, regard
ing the consular service in the Orient.
The message is accompanied by Il
letter from Secretary Root in which
he says:
81 wish to call special attention tc
one feature of these reports. They
disclose grave misconduct on the part
Of two consuls formerly occupying i'm.
portant posts in the East. These con
suls are no longer in the service.
regret to say, however, that there are
indications of other cases of miscon
duct or inefiiciency among consuls il
various parts of the world:'
These cases, the secretary says, show
the necessity of regular inspection
service.
Mr.. Pierce's severe criticism is re
served for ex-Consul General Good
now, at Shanghai; ex-Consul Genera
McWade, at Canton, and Consu
General Williams, at Singapore.
The charges against McWade, for
mer consul at Canton, are drunken
ness, employment of felon, issuance
of fraudulent Chinese certificates, ex
tending protection to Cinnamon who
claim to be American citizens, perse
cution of American citizens for pur
poses of revenge and corruption il
office.
The charges against former Consul
General Goodnow, at Shanghai, ART
eightyy-two in number, some serious
and some light. Some are sufficien
to support suits at law and give evi
dence; of corruption in office. The
opinion of the better element was un
favorable to him in Shanghai.
The report states that Consul Gen
eral Levi l.. Wilcox, at Hanghau "can
not be said to be useful consular
officer
Regarding Mr.. Greene, at vladivos
tok, the report says: "Everywher'
throughout the East l received unfa
vorable reports of Mr.. Greene. Hi
habits are said to be extremely bad"
Other complaints of him are that h
had faults relative to his accounts.
Several consuls are commended a
excellent.

THE DEADLY WIRE CAME NEAR GETTING IN ITS WORK ON HENRY cADY.
 UlNEMAN. Hole Burned in Shoulder to the Bone, But the Victim Will Probably
 Live Over 1t.

Henry Cady, lineman employed by the Citizens Light and Transit company, had an escape from death Tuesday morning that was almost mi raculous, and for which no cause can be assigned. After 1900 volts of cleo trici.y had passed through his body for upwards of two minutes, Ztdy was able to walk a short distance 10 a nearby house, and to sit in a chair till the arrival of the doctor, where most men would have been instantly killed.
 Cady was working with a gang of lnemen on Fourth avenue this morn ing, and the gang was engaged in changing the wires on some of the poles in the middle of the street. Near the corner of Fourth and Beech was pole from which some of the wires had been broken, and he had warned his fellow workmen hat this was a dangerous place, and to be careful. The man who ascend cd the pole first had trouble in fixing the break, and Cady went Up to as sist him.
 He had been working but few moments when he became entangled in the wire, which touched him on ais left shoulder. The contact was formed there, and the electricity passed out through his arms to the role. He hung there helpless for over two minutes before his fellows could get to him and extricate him from his perilous position and help him to the ground Just as they did this Police Officer Higginbotham ar r5ved and sent in q call for a physi- elan, and Dr. Hankison was soon on the ground, and dressed the mans injuries.
 A hole was burned in his shoulder in which it was possible for the doc tor to insert his entire thumb, and he was terribly shocked. NotWith- standing this he seemed to recover al! right, and was taken to his home, and Dr. Hankison stated this after Eoon that in all probability he would be. none the worse for his thrilling ex- perience.
