Senator Foraker Removes the Last I'M
portant Obstacle TO Its Passage.
WASHINGTON, May 2a.-eenator Foraker
has agreed to so modify one Of his amend
ments to the Stat ehood bill that delegates
to the constitutional convention of the
proposed State to be composed Of the Terri
tories Of Arizona and New Mexico shall be
voted for at the regular election in Eovem-
Ter, but that there shall be no election then
Of Govern or and other State officers.
At the same time each Territory will vote
separately on the question Of their admis-
sion to the Union as one State. and as it Is q
foregone conclusion that the voters Of
Arizona will declare against admission,
the certainty exists that the jointure Of
the two Territories and their admission will
not be brought about This concession by
Senator Foraker removes the last impor-
tant obstacle to the passage Of the State
hood bill, which will have the effect Of per-
hitting Oklahoma and the Indian Territory
to come into the Union as the single State
Of Oklahoma.

He Tried for Neglect Of Duty.
WASHINGTON, May 2a-OrdeH were made
at the Navy Department to-day directing
the oourt-martial, on charges Of neglect Of
duty, of Capt. Perry Garst. commanding
officer of the hattleship Rhode Island and
Lieut.. Commander Edward I. Witherspoon,
the m vigating officer of that vessel. Tho
cha rges grew out Of the grounding Of the
Rhode Island nearly three weeks ago on
York Spit in the Chesa peake Bay. The
court which has been appointed to try the
two officers is Of higher rank than any other
court ma rtial OF recent years. The case
will be an important one, not only bee use
of the prominence Of those involved, out
recently indi on ted that 1t believes that jus
tioe lie not always administered by naval
courts, the officers trying brother officers
being inclined to too great lenienoy. TIL
Rhode Island court-martial viii convene
nex Monday at noon on boar d the Rhode
Isla nd at Hampton Roads.
The case has excited a great deal Of in
terest. Immediately. following the ground
ing Of the Rhode Island a court of inquiry
was ordered TO make an Investigation.
The report Of this court reached the Navy
Department several days ago. 1t made
no special recommendation as to a court
martial, but left the case open for further
action" by the Department. The action
was taken to-day. lt has been several
years since a captain Of the navy has been
tried by a court martial. At the time OF the
grounding the Rhode Island had been in
commission only a week or so, having sailed
out from Boston for O shaking down"
trip. In his preliminary report Capt,
Garst said that the grounding OF the vessel
was due TO an error Of Judgment II this
IL proved before the court it may mean a
serious penalty for some one. The dis
lance between a buoy and the shore was
misoaloulated, according to the general
understanding, and the Rhode Islands
nose went into the mud Of York Spit. Four
tugs from the Norfolk navy yard pulled the
new battleship of. The following Is the
detail Of the court:

pOsftOrS Refuse Reorganization Plan.

PHILADELPHIA, Sept. S.-Further dis
closures OF the magnitude of Nipples bank
looting were made to-day by District At
torney Bell.
1t was Nipples ambition TO own a COM
plete city. To crafty this he financed, to
the extent Of at least 81, COO, eco, the creation
OF the town of New Alexandria, just outside
OF Alexandria, Va. All this money was
taken from the Real Estate Trust Company.
1t has been discovered that he took old
paid of bonds OF the Washington, Alex
andria and Mount Vernon Electric Com
pany and used them, not only in his W
company, as collateral for loans, but in
other trusting concerns as well. One trans
action involving se5 900 was unearthed by
the District Attorneys probe to-day.
1t t~ranspires, too, that Nipple was a
gigantic forger. BY a unique system he
used the names Of the biggest men in Phiia-
delphia on notes varying from $4,000 TO
So 900, and amounting in all to more than
$4,000. Besides these, he put mythical
names to notes and realized more than
$jOO,COO on them.
District Attorney Bell ran across Hipple's
town by the discovery of one transaction
with the company. The president had
loaned himself 9l3S, 900, giving az security
$3.50 600, face value, OF bonds Of the Alex
andria Land and River Improvement Com
pany, which was the name of the concern
building New Alexandria. The bonds il
realized upon then might possibly have
brought $4,000. Nominally Ripple was the
secretary OF the company. Really, he was
its promoter and was known as the "relig-
