 Admiral Evans. who is affectionately known in the service as Fighting Bob,' has been serving on the gener- al board of the navy since his retire ment in August of last year. Admiral Cowles, who is a brother-in-law of former President Roosevelt, is Chief of the Bureau of Equipment, and was retired last August. Admiral Pills bury. who was retired in December, has been Chief of the Bureau of Nav igatiOn- He will be relieved on the first of the coming month by Rear Ad- miral William P. Potter, who is now in command of one of the divisions of the Atlantic battleship fleet.
 If Admiral Cowles is relieved on or before July 1 there will be no retired ranking officer on duty as the head of any bureau.

DRESSER EXPLAINS
 SHIP TRUST LOANS

Saratoga, June 26.-Daniel Leroy Dresser of Oyster Bay, former Presi- dent of the Trust Company of the Re public. was a witness yesterday in the case of Charles H. Kavanaugh against the former directors of the company, on trial in the Supreme court here be- fore Justice Van Kirk The plaintiff is seeking to prove that certain losses which were incurred by the trust com- pany through it's undertaking to fi- nance the United States Shipbuilding Company were due to alleged neg1- gence of the directors and that they should make restitution.
 MT. Dresser, who said he was not in business at present, told of the organ ization Of the trust company and of the circumstances which led up to the transactions with the shipbuilding company. He said he was first in project after the return from Paris Of John Y. Young, the promoter, in May, 1902. The plan to raise 5000, OO0 to finance the undertaking was explained of this amount ss.oOo. 900 had been placed in. London and $500 900 in Paris. The remaining 8. .000, MT. Dresser said, the Trust Company or the Republic was asked to dispose Of by representatives of the Mercantile Trust Company, which was interested in the Shipbuilding company
 He told of his efforts to induce the directors of the company to subscribe for underwritings. and said he suc- ceeded in raising the required $3, 900, 900 by Aug l. 1902 The foreign under writings, however, were not forthcom- ing. and the witness said he endeavor- ed to raise $1.750. 900 more, part Of the French allotment, the remaining $1 ,250, 900 having been promised from Paris by Aug. II. On that date the constituent properties of the shipbuild- ing company were to have been taken over, and arrangements had been made for the purchase of the Bethlehem Steel Company. There was needed at that time, MT. Dresser said, $6, 100, 900 to acquire those properties, and the money was not all in sight.
 At this point MT. DreSser'S story was cut short by an adjournment until Monday, when he will resume the stand.

Heinze Found Guilty
 And His Lawyer Fined

New York. June 26-Following the conviction of Sanford Robinson on Thursday for the crime of obstructing justice in advising a witness wanted in the HeinZe investigation to evade service of a Grand Jury subpoena, a jury in the United States Circuit Court yesterday. convicted Arthur P Heinze of the same offense. Then Judge Ray, who had presided at both trials, gave Robinson a fine of S250 and postponed passing sentence on "A. P. Heinze un- til Fall, Heinze promising in the meantime to endeavor to assist District Attorney Wise by producing again the two trunks of books of the United Copper Company, which were sent away on Heinze's order on May 30.
 Judge Ray in announcing the sen tence of Robinson, expressed his opin- ion that the attorney did not realize what he was doing when he told Ira cy Buckingham. the individual for whom on May 21 Deputy Marshal came with a subpoena, not to go out to be served

THE NEW INCOME TAX

The modified income tax, advocated 1; by President Taft, which differs from Ia general income tax only in it's 1imi- ttation to corporation and it's non-in- clusion Of individual incomes, is one Iof the most important measures brought before Congress for several years. It not only establishes a. new tax, but it also provides foFs a strict espionage over corporations.e, which may easily bring on, through its reve- | lations of inside operationsna more ex- tended supervision and, finally, a con- trol less only in effect than, full gov ernmenta1 ownership. Further. it may even render unnecessary for revenue purposes a considerable number of tariff duties, unless Congress should devise new expenditures which would absorb any possible surplus Of reve- nue. This device is quite probable of adoption, for Congress 1ss expert in such matters Indeed, but: for gross extravagance in expenditures as illus trated by billion dollar Congressional pessions, this new tax would be wholly unnecessary.
 From the fact that the ,amendment embodying the new tax Is being con- structed- by the PresidentzsH Cabinet advisers, with the aid of the Senate W1narce committee and Of Speaker Cannon and some of the House leaders on the Republican side, we infer that 1t Is to be made a party measure and pushed through as such. Presum- ably, Democratic aid is expected, for the National Democratic platform de clared in favor of an ine5ms tax. and Presumably also the RepuD3he9hs Sena- torial '1nsurgents" ;wiiI' qEh 9 tsls with the regulars upon it.. IfoFooaeo5f them is the author of an ine6mel .ta,c bill. This would bring about pretty nearly a unanimous affirmative fNete. .sn the Senate at least, provided there is not demand that the tax be made gen eral and applicable to Individual as well as corporate incomess3 sn'
 The adoption of DemocIestic princi- ples, in modified or full f6fm,7 by the
 Republican party has beooaneoa quite common occurrence ImdhiS instance, as in most previous oneab the initia- tive move has come from sthe White House. Perhaps those wha, mistaken ly assert that the Democratic party has outlived it's usefulness. will upon reflection retract such assertion and admit that the party serves. at least the useful purpose of '<bfazihg the way" for the opposite party.

SHAH FEARS ATTACK
 FROM REvOLUTIONISTS.
Especial from United Press.

Especial from United Press.)
 Teheran, June 26.-In response to an urgent summons from Colonel Liak- hoff the Russian commander of the Shah's military forces. Russian rein forcements are today hastening toward the capital from northern Persia as the city is believed to be in imminent dan ger of attack from the revoIutionists. The city is fairly well fortified but the defending force is wholly inadequate to cope with the revolutionary army that Is reported preparing for an at tack Colonel Liakhoff'S force of Cossa cks constitutes the chief reliance of the Shah as his own soldiers are not only inefficient but unreliable and it is believed they will desert to the revolutionists at the first sign of dan ger For several weeks the revolu- tionists have been slowly creeping nearer the city. They have sent warn ings to the Shah that unless he sur renders without fight his life will be demanded.

Bingham Sues Gaynor
 Asking $1OO,OO Damages

New York, June 26@The triangular contest that has been waged by Will liam J. Gaynor, Justice of the Supreme Court, Col. George B. Mcclellan, May or of the city of New York, and Brig Gen. Theodore A. Bingham, U- S. A., (retired) Police Commissioner of this city, took a new and surprising turn yesterday when Gen. Bingham began suit against Justice Gaynor for defa- nation of character and asked dam ages on two counts aggregating s1OO,- 900.
 The libel suit is an outgrowth of the police experiences ofthe Brooklyn youth, George B. Duffy, who, having been arrested several times on sundry charges and the police having photo- graphed him for their gallery of rec ords, appealed to Justice Gaynor not as a Judge but as a friend, to have his photograph removed from the Mul- berry street storehouSe.

WHAT IS THE DUTY >s4 "
 OF A NEWSPAPER !?

What is the duty of a newspaper toward its public, and how far may 1t go in it's observance of that duty This question has long been debated, but without authoritative decision. It came up in recent libsi ltase which was tried in the U. S. Circuit Court at New Haven and in which the jury gave a verdict of but $500 when $50 900 was claimed, but it is not known whether the jury gave any considera- tion or effect to the claim that the newspaper was only perforrning its duty to the public ..
 The judge of Massachusetts court, In his charge to the jury in a recently tried libel case said:
 The publisher of a paper has no greater, and certainly no Jess, rights. than every individual in the commun- .1ty- Irrespective of certain questions which have been argued in this case when a man becomes a candidate for an office he says to the world; Here I am. I sumbit myself to, your exami- nation See what you can find out about me" Every man, then, has the right to examine into his-h4e land into his character: and he has t51e right At may be he has the duty,-of saying to his fellows that which he honestly believes concerning that sperson. so far as he confines himself tQ,facts and the differences to be drawn from the facts. He has the right to comment reasonably and sensfbly. in the exer- else Of good motives and without prejudice toward the individual. when that person stands before the public; because that man, who is q candidate for office, has asked that this be done. But he has not the right toA go beyond fair criticism 1T b..
 The substance of this. .iddftial opin- ion is that a newspaper holis, only the same right as the ordinary individual that of fair criticism, based upon facts honestly believed and differences therefrom. and without prejpdtce.
 Commenting upon thep tharge as above quoted, the Hartfor11It Gourant says: 4d 10 9o
 Judge Pierce might very, well have told the jury tha no self7respecting newspaper publisher is ever found ask ing to be allowed to Ego beyond fair criticism and plunge into unfair, Judge Pierce says that the newspaper publisher has mo greaterixishts" than any other man in town.
