NO INVESTIGATION
OF TILLMAN CASE
Despite Request Of South CaroIinan the. Senate Is MOI
Likely to Pay Any Heed to Charges Made
by the President.

Regardless Of the fact that in two
speeches Senator Tnlman has insistent-
~ demanded that the Senate investigate
the charges made against him by the
President there are strong indications
that no such investigation will be made
1t IS not unlikely that the Senate will
drop the whole matter, and thus, In one
sense will rebuke the President by in
diCating to the country that Senators do
not regard the charges as important
enough for them TO consider and as too
trivial for any action to be taken on
their 3art.
No ffiCial statement is made that the
charges will be dropped. 1t Is learned,
however, on good authority that it is
unlikely the subcommittee Of the Ap-
preparations Committee, which is in
trusted with the Secret Service inquiry
under the Aldrlch resolution, will take

a question whether the Aldrich resolu-
ton can De construed to cover the case
of Mr.. Tillman.
Must Have Authority.
Unless it appeared clear that it did
cover it the subcommittee would Of
course hesitate to pass on Mr.. Till
mans case without specific authority
from the Senate. For a time there
was talk that a resolution for an IN
VeSUgaCOn Of Senator 11llman would DO
put through. Conferences were held by
leading Democratic Senators to that
end, but no resolution was forthcoming.
None Of the leaders on either side OF
tGe chamber are showing any disposition
now TO put in a resolution.
one suggestion is that If there is an
investigation it should be by the Com
mittee or Privileges and Elections
rather than by the Appropriations Com
mittee.

Admiral Backs Up Roosevelt
Order Detaching Force
From Ships.
SHOULD BE SENT
ON MANEUVERS
Says Police Duty on Water Is No
Longer Needed For
Discipline.

Rear Admiral Evans has lined upeWIth
the Navy Department and President
Roosevelt to keep the marines of war
ships, according to "a report of his tes-
umOny before the House Naval COM
mittee. made public at the Navy De-
partment today.
He believes, however tina the marines
should be sent 10 sea two or three times
year on transports for maneuveTs with
the fleet, but that they should be or
ganlzed into battaliOus instead of being
collected in scattered detaChments Fur
tneTmOre. ne says that enlisted men OF
the navy nowadays do not need to be
Pohced b. marines aboard ship.
Evans Statement.
The statement is as follows:
Rear Admiral Evans appea
terday morning before the II. Com
nittee on Naval Affairs ana gave his
opinion on the question OF the with
drawal OF marines from cruising ships
of the navy, which question was under
consideration by that committee.
Admiral Evans. after giving his
length of service and q resume of his
important commands as a flag officer.
said. In substance. that after much
study covering many years of expert
enCe with the marines ia aearIy every
kind OF service 10 was HIS opinion that
they should be withdrawn from service
afioat in cruising ships, except trans
ports, and that he believed this stem
would result in benefit TO the marines.
as CORPS, be better for the ships. and
be better for the enlisted men OF the
navy"
The admiral said that he was of the
opinion that instead OF being scattered
gfr 40
auoaI shoLld be concentrated and or
gained into battaliOns on shore and ina
thaI way De nsady for service of any
Kind that he would send marines 10
sea two or three times year on trans
ports whenever the feet had maneU-
NerE, and have practice in landing ad-
NanCed base material and the duties
connected with fOrtifying an advanced
base.
His Experiences.
He gave instances OF his experience
during the civil war. and while in com
mand OF The Atlantic Station, which lei
him TO believe that the marines are
more efficient after drill as an organized
battalion or regiment than the same
number OF men would be If hurrfedIy
collected in scattered detachments. He
commented upon the SOOd character and
general intelligence OF the enlisted men
% the navy today as compared to condi-
tons existing a few years ago, and de-
clared that the necessity for the pres
ence of marine guards On board the
ships 10 maintain order does not now
exist He said that the enlisted men
Of the navy are bright intelligent
Americans and 90 not need to be po-
Iced by marines on board ship.
In concluding, the admiral said. he
desired 90 emphasize his statement
that he had nothing 10 say against
the marines as a corps, that he had
the greatest admiration for them. bat
that he believed their proper and
most useful sphere of duty now would
be in connection with shore stations

pediuOuary force all under the con
troll Of the Navy Department.

DISCRIMINATING LADIES
Enjoy Using Herpicide on Account of
Its Distinetiveness.


The ladies who have used Newbro's
HerpicIde speak OF it in the highest
terms, for It's quick effect in cleaning
the scalp OF dandruff and also for, its
excellence as a general hair dressing.
1t makes the scalp feel fresh and it
alIays that itching which dandruff will
cause. Newbros Herpicide effectively
cures dandrllft, as it destroys the germ
that causes it. The same germ causes
hair to fall out and later badness; in
killing it Herpicide stops falling hair
and prevents badness. 1t is also an
ideal hair dressing, for 1t lends an
aristocrattc charm to the hair that is
quite distinctive. Sold by leading
druggists. 500 bottle guaranteed.
