ENGINEERS REBUKED
CANNOT PICK RECRUITS
Secretary Dickinson Says They
asked for Unusual Privileges.
From The Tribune Bureau J

Washington. June 1s-The Secretary Of War has
rebuked the officers Of the corps of engineers for
asking for unusual privileges in selecting enlisted
men 10 compose the three battalions Of engineer
troops. Some weeks ago the officers Of this force
complained that they unable 10 get the sort of
men they needed from the recruiting stations They
asked the privilege Of sending engineer officers 20
the general recruit depots. such that Fort
Slocum. pick out the old and trained soldiers,
those who re-enlisted. and preferably those who
had served with engineer troops
The request was acted on adversely az the in
stance Of the adjutant general of the army. who
has 10 do with recruiting and the assignment Of
recruits 70 the service. II held that no
reason existed for furnishing the engineer branch
with trained soldiers in its draft recruit de
pots than existed In the the artillery
corps, and the reply made ty the Secretary Of War
the request the chief of engineers was regard
ed as positive enough 10 dispose OF the question
finally. But the army engineer officers per
sstent and they recently renewed the request with
results which interesting the way of official
rejoinder. The Secretary o. War has written the
chief Of engineers and required him 10 publish 10
his subordinates who are on duty with engineer
troops the policy Of the department. Secretary
Dickinson says:
1t is certain that would be of advantage TO the
visit the general recruit depots and from all the
men assembled there take the choice OF men for
assignment TO the engineers. selecting by pref
erence. Of course. old soldiers and men skilled in
the various trades But II Is equally certain that
10 permit this would be act of great injustice to
other branches OF the service.
In order that officers duty with engineer
troops may understand definitely that special prvi-
leRes advantages in the matter Of obtaining
cruits will not he extended to them and that II
enistments transfers and post recruiting failed 10

that OF the engineers. the chief OF engineers will

ROBINSON DEMURRER ARGUED.

Argument on the validity of the indictment in
which Sanford Robinson, personal counsel for F.
Augustus Heinze. Is charged with impeding and Oh
str1Ictng the administration of justice hinged yes
terday on whether deputy marshal is an officer OF
the United States. Joseph J. Kumb deputy Of
Marshal Henkels, had tried TO subpoena
Tracy :. Buckingham. essential witness in the

al Bank investigation. Joseph p. Cotton. r-, Coun
sci for Robinson contended that there had been no
obstruction, resistance or opposition 10 the admin
stration Of Justice if his client had contrived
TO get Buckingham Of the way, because the
deputy marshal was not official of the United
States nor designated such
United States Attorney Wise argued that the
deputy was the marshal to all intents and purposes
of court administration. Judge Ray. in the United
States Circuit Court took the point under advise
rnent and will probably give decision on Monday.
Should the demurrer of Robinson be overruled it
is probable he Will be brought to trial next Tues
dav Should this be done Mr.. Wise will endeavor to
get the testimony of Robinson before the grand jury,
which will lead the return Of the missing books
