ON ACCOUNT F WITS. ARMY ToLosE OFFICER. Colonel Ayres Declines to Answer War Depart
 1nent Queries.

Washington, July 12.-Lieut.-Col. Charles c. Ayres, Fourteenth cavalry was to-day ordered before the retiring board by direction of President Roose- welt.
 Ayres is directed to report in per son to Brig. Gen. John M. k. Davis president of the board, at the Army building in New York city on July l7, and upon the completion of his exam ination he will return to his present station.
 Ayres is not due to retire in the usal way for several years, but 1t is expected that he will be retired upon the report of medical board now on file at the War department
 President Roosevelt's order for his appearance before the retiring board i Is the result of the ball given last Easter by the cadets at the West Point Military academy, the controversy be- tween Mrs. Ayres and officers of the academy and the criticism by Ayres of the Secretary of War and his brother officers.
 The weather was cool on Easter and the cadets loaned their overcoats to the ladies who attended the ball. This lis against the rules of the academy, and the commandant of cadets direct ed them to take their cloaks back. Cadet Ayres, the son of Lieut.-Col. and Mrs. Ayres, had loaned his cloak, and Mrs Ayres, who lived on the military reservation, resented the order and be- came involved in a controversy with the officers of the academy and threat ened to sue them for damages. Later she wrote a letter to Secretary Taft whereupon the secretary directed Col Ayres to have his wife leave the re- servation. This she did. But Ayres lit is alleged, in an interview and in published statements attributed to him, criticised Secretary Taft, the of ficers of West Point and the court martial system generally and declar- ed that a conspiracy existed to eXpe him from the army
 Ayres was then called upon by Sec iretary Taft to state whether he made the allegations attributed to him Ayres declined to state whether he dlc or not, and the Inspector-General ot the Army was directed to make an in vestigation. This inquiry has been 1T lprogress for some time, but the facts developed will not be disclosed.
 Owing to the past conduct of Ayre' there was strong opinion in army circles that instead of being ordered before court of inquiry Ayres should Fbe directed to appear before medica or retiring board.
 The board will consist of Brig Gen John M. K. Davis, president; Col Charles A. P. Hatfield, Thirteenth In fantry; Lieut. -Col. William P. Evans Eleventh Infantry; Major Guy L. Edie surgeon; Capt, Sanford H. Wadhams assistant surgeon, and Capt. William T. Johnston, Fifteenth cavalry Re corder).

friends, and where they will perform their
duties without favoritism through friend
ship made by long acquaintance with the
stea mboat men, has made itself felt in the
Baltimore district, in which Washington is
located In accordance with Secretary
Straus' plans an order has been received
at the Office of the local inspectors at Bal
tiInt Ie, " hich was effective Monday morn
ing last, transferring the assistant inspect
ors of hulls and boilers to other ports, and
assigning new men to this district. The
