sERGT. WHALLEY RETIRED.
Won a Medal of Honor and Recon-.
mended for Another,

Probably no man who ever served in the
ranks Of the United States army has a bet
ter all-round record than First Sergt. Au-
gustus Whalley of the 10th Cavalry Color
ed; who has just been placed on the tired
list after thirty years service. on his own
application, by order of the Secretary of
War. Sergt. Whalley holds six discharges,
all bearing Character Excellent" He is the
recipient of medal of honor for brav-
cry in action against hostile Indians at
Cuchillo Negro mountains, n. NJ, August
49, 1881, for rescuing comrade while under
fire of the enemy. The records also show
the following: Recommended for a medal

terrible fire of the enemy at Las Guasimas,
Cuba, June "a, 1898.
Col. j. A. Augur, commanding the 10th
Cavalry, in announcing Sergt. Whalley's re-
tirement, paid his this tribute: Many tes-
timonials have been given Sergt. Whalley

IMPORTATION OF IMMIGRANTS.
Unlawful for State to Do More Than
Advertise,

An opinion has been rendered by Attor-
ney General Bonaparte to the President
bearing on the legality of the action of the
South Carolina authorities in bringing to
the United States shipload of immigrants
for work in various branches of industry
in that state.
The Attorney General holds in effect that
it is unlawful for a state government to pay
the passage of intending immigrants or to
assist immigration otherwise than by ad
vertisements
In the South Carolina case $4,000 was
raised by an association of private persons.
by which a general fund was constituted
for the encouragement of immigration and
out of which the expenses of the immi-
grants We're paid The immigrants were
brought to the United States through the
efforts of State immigration Commissioner
Z. J. Watson The Secretary of Com
merce and Labor in approving an opinion
OF the solicitor of the department held that
the plan carried out did not constitute
a violation of the contract labor law.
The decision came up for considerable dis
cussion in Congress during the debate on
the immigration bill
There was some dissatisfaction with the
ruling of the Department of Commerce and
Labor on the subject, and the Department
of Justice asked to render an opinion,
with the view, it is understood, of deter
mining the soundness of the contentious of
the former department., with the result
above stated.

MAYOR sCHMITZ HOME.
Declared That the President Persuaded
Him to Change His Views.

SAN FRANCISCO, March Mayor
Schmitz arrived home last night after his
visit to Washington. In response to ques-
ton whether he would be candidate for
reelection as mayor he declared that he
would stand by his guns and that he
would mot be driven out by the newspa-
pers."
Mayor Schmitz, in an interview at Los
Angeles, is quoted as saying:
Although 1 went to Washington to con-
fer with the President about admitting the
Japanese into the public schools, l found
my views were not altogether right, and
when the matter was presented to me in a
light that 1 had not considered l could see
that there was some reason for the attitude
the head of the nation took.
Il found that President Roosevelt was
strongly in favor of admitting them and of
course he is in position to know what Is

orientals would be detrimental to the work

AGAINST ELEcTRocUTIoN.
New Jersey May Abolish the Death
Penalty Altogether.

TRENTON, N. j., March 7.-Senator
Hutchinson of Mercer county introduced in
the senate yesterday bill repeating the
electrocution act Of last winter, which went
into effect on March 1, and could not be put
into operation because the legislature has
so far forgotten to provide funds for erect
ing the death house, which the measure says
shall be used in putting criminals to death.
Some time ago Rev. George B. Wight.
state commissioner Of charities and correc-
lions, and Father Fish, the chaplain at the
state prison. said that the $4,000 sought to
be appropriated by the legislature would not
be enough money to erect the death cham
Der and install the electrical apparatus, and
since then legislators have sought to so
amend the present act that all deaths shall
be by electricity in the state prison here.
Trenton objects to having capital punish
ment carried out here, and last winter the
act was amended so that Trenton should es-
cape it. The activity of the legislators to
make deaths by electricity take place In the
state prison brought Senator Hutchinson
forward with his measure to abolish execu-
ton by electricity and return to the method
OF executing murderers by, the rope.
+ 1t is possible that q, bill will be introduced
next week to abolish capital punishment ale
together. as Senator Hutchinson believes
that New Jersey wants that done.

SWIFT MAY BE TRIED
HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR GROUND
ING OF THE CONNECTICUT.

The naval court Of inquiry which investi-
gated the recent grounding Of the new bat
tleship Connecticut on the coast Of Culebra,
near Porto Rico, held Capt. William Swift,
who was In command Of the vessel at the
time, responsible for the mishap and rec
commended that he be tried by court-martial
on the charge of hazarding vessel Of the
United States navy. 1t is reported that
Capt. Swift changed the course Of the ship
just before the grounding, in doing which
he reversed the course as laid down by the
ships navigator, Lieut.. Commander L. H.
Chandler. 1t is said also that when Capt.
Swift found his ship in danger of ground
faint.
Secretary Metcalf is now considering the
report of the court of inquiry and will un-
doubleday follow it's recommendation for
the detail of court-martial in the case of
Capt. Swift. In the meantime the battle
ship Connecticut sailed from New York
yesterday for the naval base at Guanta-
namo. where she will rejoin the Atlantic
fleet and resume her target practice, which
was interrupted by an epidemic of typhoid
fever among her crew. which necessitated
her making hurried trip to New York so
that the patients could be transferred to
a hospital for treatment.
Capt Swift will remain in command of
the Navy decides upon the detail of a court
martial for his trial in case that course Is
followed. Owing to the presence of the
Atlantic fleet at Guantanamo there will be
no lack of material for the constitution of
a court of high ranking officers in case 1t
is determined to organize one. In fact, there
are more officers at Guantanamo available
for such duty than there are at New York.
Capt. Swift has many friends in this city
who sympathize with him in his trouble.
He was stationed here for many months as
a member of the general board, of which
Admiral Dewey is president, just prior to
his assignment to the command of the
Connecticut. That vessel was built at the
New York navy yard in competition with
the battleship Louisiana, and Is regarded
as one of the best ships in the navy. The
full extent of her injuries by grounding
at Culebra has not been disclosed, but that
her cruising efficiency has not been serious
ly impaired is clearly indicated by the fact
that she has gone back to Guantanamo to
complete her target practice.

CAB SERVICE IN GOTHAM.
Taximeter to Be Used in Public Con-
yevances in Future

NEW YORK, March Cab service in
New York is about to be revolutionized.
The taximeter system, which has been in
use for some time in Paris, Berlin and
other foreign cities, whereby the exact dis
lance Travelled and the exact amount of
the fare to be paid are accurately registered
on a dial attached to the motor cab is to
be introduced. simultaneously with the
New York service, the same style of cabs
are to be placed in operation in Philadel-
phia and Boston, and later in other cities.
company has recently been organized for
this purpose, and the plans have so far
progressed that it was said yesterday that
the first installment of these taximeter cabs
would be seen in the streets of New York
early this spring.
So many plans have been proposed in the
past for improving the cab service of New
York that this latest scheme may naturally
raise reasonable suspicion in the minds of
those who have either studied or expert
enced something Of the difficulties Of OBJ
tanning satisfactory public service of this
character. Should it fail in this city, as
have other attempts to Introduce a reason
ably priced public hack service it will be
due to the peculiar traffic conditions which
have hitherto baff1ed all efforts to place
New York on any basis of equality with
other large cities in this respect.
There are now about 1000 taximeter
motor cabs in use in Paris and before the
close of this year 1t is estimated that the
number will reach 1900. The cabs have
proved popular in London and orders have
been given this year for 800 new ones. Ber-
lin probably has the largest number. tor the
taximeter was first introduced there, and
the success of the system has led to its
adoption in over eighty continental cities.
The cabs will be driven by chauffeurs who
Will operate them upon a percentage, and
the method in use abroad of using an indi-
Gator showing that they are available for
flag which will be tipped down when the
cab is in use will be displayed as soon as
the call is at an end, and the cabs will be
ready for service whenever they are seen
with the flag upright. The mechanical
| taximeter device will show the occupant
| just how far he has travelled and the eX-
act amount of hissfare. The prices will be
| lower. than now in vogue even for horse
drawn cabs and it will be the aim to make
! the service far more satisfactory.
The taximeter Is like an enlarged alarm
clock. similar to the fare indicator in street
| cars. and containing a mechanism operated
| by q flexible shaft connected with the
wheel of the vehicle in the same manner as
| the speedometer upon a motor car. 1t has
within plain view Of the passenger, a num-
Der of apertures on Its face, in which ap-
pear figures showing the amount payable

paratus in motion by means of a lever
| when the passenger enters the cab, and II
| is impossible to throw the taximeter out O,
| gear without reversing the lever, which al
| the same time releases the flag indicatinf
that the cab Is available for hire.

between the mayor and Charles 8. Mellen,
president Of the New Haven road, concern
ing the transaction pending between the
New Haven road and Charles w. Morse of
New York for the purchase of the sound
lines controlled by the railroad.

company's place of business to Baltimore.
1t is understood, however, that the ra1-

that in case it should wish to accept
good offer for it's sound lines it would be
in position to offer competition for sound
traffic.
