SUFFERS FROM APPENDICITIS
Thomas G. Hayes to Undergo Opera
ton at Providence Hospital.

The condition of Thomas G. Hayes, for
mer teller of the American National
Bank, who was recently arrested upon
a warrant charging him with the en-
bezzlement Of certain funds of that insti-
tuition, and who was removed from his
apartment in the Champlain, 1924. X
street northwest to Providence Hospital
early yesterday morning, suffering from
appendicitis, was stated to be unchanged
today.
An operation for his relief will probably
be performed Monday. The delay in TAX
ing this step was caused by the desire
of the physicians to allow the patient
to gain as much strength as possible in
order that he may Withstand the effects
of the operation.
Mr.: Hayes. together with Mrs Hayes.
dined with friends Thursday evening, and
afte1 their return home the husband
complained Of feeling i'll. At midnight
his condition alarmed Mrs. Hayes and a
physician was summoned. After an ex-
animation the physician declared that
Mr.. Hayes was suffering from appendi-
citis. and ordered his immediate removal
to Providence Hospital.

the proper course to follow, but it was
noticed that he left for southern Europe
before his wife sailed for America. ant
while the countess was in deep trouble
he was enjoying the gay life of Monte
Carlo and other resorts.
When the countess returned to Eng
land. after the trial of her brother. she
received a cold reception. not only from
tn. earl. but all the members of his fam
lily. except the Marchioness of Hartford
and the couple have seen little of each
other since that time.
On what ground the countess bases hel
claim for the notification of her mar.
riage is not stated in the papers thus
far filed with the court, but there has
been much talk of the earl's doings or
the continent where he spends the greater
part of his time.
Wedding a Pittsburg Event.
The wedding of Lord Yarmouth and Miss
Thaw was an event in Pittsburg society
1t was planned that her eldest brother
Harry, should give her away, but he was
absent. The ceremony was delayed sew
eral hours to await his coming, but he did
not put in an appearance. Josiah c.
Thaw, another brother. acted in his place
it was also reported that the delay in the
ceremony was due to further negotia-
tons with regard to the marriage settle
ment from the Thaw- family. The earl
lis declared to have insisted upon an in.
crease, and the papers had to be drawn
up before the marriage proceeded
1t is said here that the estrangement
results from two causes. The first cause
is said to be the action of the Earl OF
Yarmouth during the first trial of Harry
X. Thaw. 1t is said when the trial was
about TO begin Yarmouth went to Egypt
and lived in seclus.on in the select colony
of English folk who reside there during
the winter months. The second cause is
said to be the action of the Thaw family
in determining upon an insanity plea fol
Harry Thaw.
From reports received here from Lon
don during the past months it is said
Yarmouth objected to insanity figuring ir
the New York Thaw trial on the ground
that it would have a direct influence or
the succession of the Yarmouth estate in
the event there was an issue from the
marriage. 1t is also said the earl's par
ents used every influence to prevent the
institution of proceedings to nullify the
marriage.
Shortly after the marriage of Yarmouth
and Miss Thaw it was reported that a
sum Of s1,O00.00O had been settled upon
the earl and that all the debts of Var
mouths English estate had been paid by
the young wife. Mrs. William Thaw
made emphatic denial of the reports
branding them as absurd.

CHARGE OF BRIBERY.
Latest Phase Of the Gibbs-Ashfore
Fire Escape Souabble.

The latest development in the recent
controversy between E. +. Gibbs, the
manager OF patent chain fire escape,
and the building department of the Dis
trlct developed Thursday afternoon The
case grew out of the charges made by
the former to the effect that Inspector
Ashford had Disseminated against Gibbs
and was using his official position in the
interest of a fire-escape patented by him
(Ashford), and the result is that a charge
Of bribery was brought against Gibbs by
A. M. Lawson. one Of the assistant build
ing inspectors.
An affidavit has been made of these
charges and filed by the Commissioners
with the district attorney for reference
to the grand jury. Mr.. Libbs denies that
he had ever attempted to bride Lawson or
any one else, and said he would issue an
explanation.
Lawson claims that Gibbs gave him
check for so about a year ago, and that
he still has the check, never having cashed
it.

FREQUEsT FOR HEARING.
Dr.. Chancellor's Counsel Renews
Plea for His Client.

In regard to his withdrawal from the
trial before the board of education of DIR.
William f. Chancellor. superintendent of
public instruction. on charges of insubor-
dination and incompetency. yesterday, At
torney Greed NJ. Fulton today sent a let
ter to the board outlining his position and
that of DIR. Chancellor. The letter saws
that with it is submitted a physician's
certificate that DIR. Chancellor is unable
either to appear or make statement of
any kind but that he insists upon being
given an opportunity to be heard either
in person or by statement. The request
is renewed that DR.. Chancellor be given
opportunity to appear before the board
as soon as he is able, or. If this be re-
fused. that he be permitted to make a
statement at his house in the presence of
his own and the boards attorneys to the
boards stenogfapher.
Mr.. Fulton also protests against the evil
dence introduced at yesterdays session,
especially letters offered after he left the
meeting.
In speaking of his attitude, Mr.. Fulton
said today:
Il will not appear before the board
again, unless they will grant DR.. Chancel-
Tor a hearing. When that will be given
will be determined entirely by the ply
steal condition of the superintendent. to
he decided by his physicians and by 9TH
crs which the board can name. Unless
the board will permit him to appear be-
fore them to give his statement. as soon
as his physicians say that he is able to,
or unless they agree to take his statement
as given to a stenographer in the pres
ence of Mr.. Mcnamara and myself, the
statement to be given as soon as DIR.
Chancellor's physicians say he is able to
give one, l will not go before the board
again.
For their precipitate haste in bringing
the case to a close there is no reason.
In October charges were filed by Chase
against Assist. Supt. Bruce. and those
charges were heard October -. So far
as the records disclose, there has been no
decision of that case, and there appears
TO be no haste in making the decision
The board has no more right to railroad
through the superintendent when he is
sick than they have to railroad through
the assistant superintendent. And GER
tainly the superintendent has the same
rights as the assistant superintendent for
colored schools. His trial has been pend.
ing month longer than that of the SUI
rrintendent. The board has used MIR
Bruce as a witness In the present trial
but do not know that that fact has any
connection with the failure to report the
decision in his trial.

COMMENT IN NAVAL CIRCLES
STOKES ASSIGNMENT TO COM
MAND OF RELIEF DELAYED.
Various Explanations Advanced as
to Secretary Metcalf's Postpone
ment of Necessary Orders.

There is considerable speculation in
naval circles over the apparent delay or
the part of Secretary Metcalf in execut-
ing the Presidents instructions to assign
Surgeon Charles F. Stokes to the COM
mand of the naval hospital ship Relief.
Under the naval regulations. all orders as
signing officers to the command of fleets
or of naval vessels must be signed by the
Secretary or the acting secretary of the
Navy. Although such orders are usually
issued on the recommendation of the chief
of the bureau of navigation, the Secretary
may exercise independent power in the
matter whenever he chooses to do so.
Whenever such orders are issued by the
Secretary. however it is the duty of the
chief of the bureau of navigation to see
that they are put into execution. 1t is
expected that the case of the Relief will
be disposed of before Capt. Pillsbury. tine
new chief of the bureau of navigation. as
sumes the duties of that office, after con-
firmation by the Senate.
Possible Cause of Delay.
The orders in the case of Surgeon Stokes
were prepared over a week ago and have
since lain on Secretary Metcalf's desk
awaiting his action. The cause of the de-
lay in the matter has not been explained.
1t Is believed, however that 1T is due
to the desire of Secretary Metcalf to
couple the announcement of his action
with a statement in reply to the criticisms
which followed the announcement Of the
Presidents purpose to place a medical
officer In command of a naval vessel, in
the course of which the Secretary will
ventilate his views on the controversy be-
tween the line and staff over questions OF
titles and command.
Lack of Necessary Funds.
Another explanation of the delay is
said to be the lack of funds sufficient tc
properly equip the Relief as a hospita
ship for service with the large fleet Of
big warships on the Pacific coast.
Secretary Metcalf has endeavored tc
find an appropriation from which the nee
essary funds can be taken. This impedi
ment Is embarrassing to the adnlinistra.
ton, which is confronted with the alter.
native of going to Congress for an urg.
ent deficiency appropriation. and they
realize fully what such a step would
mean.
Surgeon General Rixey is anxious to gel
the hospital ship into service as soon as
possible. Her main work for the imme'
date future is to be at Magdalena bay
Lower California. where the battleshiI
fleet will rendezvous March IA. The ad
miral is DESTROYS that the ship be thor.
oughly fitted out and equipped with al
the accessories of floating hospital and
be on the ground when the fleet arrives
The expectation is that the ship will be
ready for sea by February 1, and that q
merchant crew and master will be put
aboard.

SHERIFF STRIKES SNAG.
No Foreclosure Sale Of Liquor Under
Georgia Prohibition Law.

ATLANTA. Ga. January 4.-The pro-
hibition law has already brought forth an
interesting question.
a saIoonkeeper in Brooks county failed
to pay a debt. the holder of the mortgage
on his stock foreclosed and the sheriff of
Brooks county advertised the liquors for
sale. This raised the question as to
whether such a sale would be legal.
Attorney General John c. Hart yesterday
morning rendered an opinion to the effect
that such proceedings would violate the
law, inasmuch as the prohibition act
specifically prohibits the sale OF whisky
in the state.
