POLICE AFTER
PFEFFER SUSPECT
Think in the Arrest of Joseph
Girard They Have the
New York StTaneIer

NEW YORK. Aug. lin the hope
that the alleged slayer Of Gussie Pfef-
fer, the Bronx girl, who was strangled
to death in December. 1905, has been
captured and that through this ar
rest some light may be thrown upon
the murder of the unknown girl, de-
tectives are on their way to Yer
plancks. n. Y. to bring back a man
held there who is believed to be
Joseph Girard. Girard vanished
shortly after the girls murder, before
he had been formally accused Of the
crime. Similarity between the attack
on the Bronx girl and the victim of
Tuesdays outrage has led the police
to believe they We're probably com
mitted by the same man.
Sheriff Otto Henry of VerplacBs,
who arrested thes uspec,, is confident
the man is Girard.
After his flight, nearly two years
ago, Girard was traced to Verplancks,
a small town near PeekslIill.
When Sheriff Henry read of the
Tuesday murder he was convinced
that the crime was committed by the
slayer of Gussie Pfeffer. Believing
that il it was Girard he would return
to his old hiding place he kept watch
and caught the suspect last night. The
prisoner refused to answer all ques-
tions.
Another suspect in the case was ar
rested here last night. He is John
Kuznicho. a Russian. who admitted on
being shown a picture Of the slain wo-
man that he had the girl with him
on Sunday. At the morgue. however,
he denied ever having seen the wo-
man.
Two Greeks are also held by the
police on their declarations that they
saw the woman with Fuznicho.

Secretary Straus. of the Department
OF Commerce and Labor. proposes to
correct any abuses that have from time
10 time crept into the administration OF
the Chinese exclusion act.
Many of the complaints that have
reached the department have been based
on tae ineficiency. and in some in
stances the unreliabflity, Of the Chinese
interpreters.
In order to correct the defects and
abuses growing out of this branch OF
the service. Commissioner General Sar-
gent has been instructed To transfer
every Chinese interpreter in the service
OF the Government from the station
where he is now employed. to another
station.
These transfers take effect at once.
The Secretary desires 70 make a thor
ough investigation of the qualifications
Of the Chinese interpreters. He has
therefore transferred them TO new sta
lions. and at the Same time has ad-
dressed letter to the officer in charge
Of the stations TO which the Chinese
interpreters are transferred. requesting
that a report be made TO him as soon as
possible on the question OF the uualih-
cations of the interpreters He wants

" June Week"
RICHARD F. BERNARD,
Left End Football Team and President
Athletic Association.

Annapolis, June I, 1907.
7 T has been the graduation day
custom at the United States
Naval Academy for many
years to give the most enthu-
SiaStic cheers for the midShipman
who led the wrong end'' of the
class, as the expression is, on the
theory that the youth Of whom his
officers and instructors had such
poor opinion must be mighty
good sort of fellow. This, of course,
was done jokingly, but the fact re-
mains that the midShipmen who
stand among the lowest in the point
of scholastic attainmentS are often
the ones who show the most mark
ed ability in the practical side of
their profession, in ordnance and
gunnery and Seamanship, and in
that all important qualification-the
ability to handle men.
Consolation for Tail nders.
For this reason the seventy-four young
men. who will get their diplomas and
he started on the high road of a com
mission in the United States Navy. on
next Thursday, have no reason to be
who are left after two. sections Of the
class have been graduated in advance
because Of their relatively high schoIas-
tic attachments, but may fall back upon
the consolation expressed in the pre-
ceding paragraph and call TO mind the
many examples of wonderful fighters
both on sea and on land whose book
learning was nothing in particular.
Even IL the third section is composed
OF those who have not stood as well in
their studies as those who have gone
before. a midshipman to graduate at
all must have proved that he is no mean
scholar. The scholastic tests at the
Naval Academy are rigorous. Many who
seek to enter cannot do so. and many
more fall by the wayside after they
have started upon the path. Even the
lowest IL4u VINO mas ODl1lueQ the ulBu
standards required for passage from one
class to another during the whole course
has proved himself a student OF good
ability.
Glories Of "June Week"
The exercises this year are particularly
notable, because they are the first for
n number OF years when any members
Of the Academy have been allowed to
complete their course and receive their
diplomas at the regular time early in
June. June week" is the great season
of festivity at the Naval Academy. As
In former years. the members OF the
board Of visitors. appointed by the
President and Congress, to inspect the
Naval Academy, come TO Annapolis. and
the week is a continuous round Of social
gayeties and exhibitions Of the routine
and practical exercises in the life of
the midshipmen.
Up TO 1898. when the urgent demand
for more naval officers caused the order
for the early graduation Of the first
class, the delivery OF the diplomas at
the end OF the week was the grand finale
of the whole period but since there has
been no class TO graduate. this feature
has, OF course, been absent. 1t is said
