MARYLAND AFTER NEGRO FORD
PAPERS SIGNED
BY GOVERNOR.
Deputy Sheriff to File Them in
Washington - County Officials
Anxious to Try Assailant.

Special Dispatch to Thc Star.
ANNAPOLIS. Md. October 2s.-Reauisi'
ton papers asking that Walter Ford
colored, now in Jail in the District OF Co
lumbia, be surrendered to the state au-
thorities for trial At Upper Marlboro
were presented for signature to Gov
Crothers this afternoon by Deputy Sher-
riff Thomas Garrison Of Prince George
county
Ford's capture in the District Of Column
bia was brought about by resident OF
Maryland following the assault COM
mitted last Friday upon Miss Florence V.
Harvey. near LanllOver.
The much more serious nature Of that
crime than the offenses charged against
him In Washington. for which he is held
for trial there. accounts for the desire OF
the county officials to deal with him first.
Gov Crothers had the papers examined
and did not hesitate to attach his Sig
nature.
AS soon as the papers We're finished
they were turned over to the deputy
sheriff to be flied In Washington late this
afternoon or tomorrow morning.
Before. filing the papers the deputy
sheriff will confer with NJ. Hampton Ma
gruder. states attorney for Prince George
county. 1t is probable that the state S
attorney will go to Washington and as
sist in the presentation Of the requisition
to Chief Justice Clabaugh.

ceived Word Yet-No Friction

will take effect next March.
He gives as the reason for resigning

many recent rumors of lack Of har-
mony with the Washington officials.
My relations with the officials a,
Washington have been entirely har-
monious.' said the governor, land pri-
vate interests alone have Influenced my
action
Gov. Curry's resignation has not yet
reached the Interior Department 1t has
not been asked for by the Secretary.
Quite to the contrary, it was stated at

day he expressed himself as much
pleased with the manner III which the
territorial officials are handling the busi-
ness Of their respective offices.
At the time Gov. Curry intimated to
Mr.. Ballinger that he intended to retire
early in the coming spring. Nothing was
said about rendering his resignation now.
No charges or complaints whatever have
been made to the department against the
governor. There is not now ard has not

SUICIDES BROTHER KILLS SELF
DEPUTY SHERIFF BICHY DIES
BY PISTOL.
Shot Fired in Room Adjacent to Of

Special Dispatch to The Star
BALTIMORE, Md. October 2S.-Charies
f. Riciy. deputy sheriff, fired pistol
ball into his brain in the sheriffs ONCE
In the courthouse this morning.
Just one week ago the body OF his
brother. John A. Bichy. was found float
ing in the harbor. Nothing is known to
indicate a reason for either suicide.
The story told by Chief Deputy Sher #
Heine indicates that Charles Bichy had
planned to kill himself. He arrived at
the office before o'clock. a time when
the deputy sheriffs are seldom in the
Office
When Bichy entered. after opening h's
desk he walked to the desk OF Deputy
Charles Wyett and borrowed Wyetts re-
volver. He placed the weapon IN ms
pocket and left the main office. Repair
ing to little Office in the back. he sat
down in a swinging armchair In that
room. after closing a heavy wooden door,
Then he fired the fatal shot
The report of the pistol could not be

entered the room and found Bichy dying.
Wernig called several other deputies ant
they found there was still life in Blchy.
to the Office of the marshal OF police. A
hurry call was sent in, but the city am
bulance came too late. Bichy expired on
the way to the Marcy Hospital.
The body Of Bichy's brother was found
floating in the harpor last Thursday
morning at 7:l5 o'clock. From indica-
tions. it had been in the water but few
hours. The police believed that the man
had leaped into the water during the aft
ernoon or the evening preceding.
The drowning of his brother. 1t is
Thought. proved on Bichy's mind, and
prompted self-destruction.

POLICE CALL 1T SUICIDE.
Mother and Son Found Dead in Bed
in Gas Filled Room.

CHICAGO. October 2S.-Mrs. Charles
H. Edsecomb and her four-year-old son,
Charles II. Edgecomb. jr., We're found
dead in bed In their home today by the
husband and father. The room where
the two lay was filled with gas, which
had escaped from a jet.
Mr. Edgecomb insists that the gas jet
must have been opened accidentally, but
the police hold a contrary opinion, and
base it on the fact that the apartment was
ordinarily lighted by electricity.
Other residents Of the building noticed
the odor Of gas yesterday afternoon, but
no investigation was made, and the dis
covery of the dead mother and son was
not made until Mr.. Edsecomb returned
to his home today. He declares there
was no reason for his wife to kill herself,
as their home life was happy.

CUBAN MINISTERS IN DUEL.
Velez and Duque Exchange Four
Shots-Nobody Hurt.

HAVANA, October 28.-The dispute be-
tween Secretary of State Justo Garcia
velez and Secretary o. Sanitation Matthias
Duque, whose designations from the cabi-
net were accepted by President Gomez
late Tuesday night. eliminated yesterday
morning III a duel with pistols. The men
exchanged four shots. but neither was
injured.
The action of the president in sud-
denly accepting the designations OF the
secretaries Is believed to have resulted
from the decision Of the court OF honor,
to which the matter was referred, that a
duel was necessary for the vindicatiOn OF
the honor Of both in consequence OF in
suits passed in the discussion relative to
matters connected with Secretary
Duque's department.
1t Is rumored that Senior Velez will be
reinstated as secretary OF state or will
be appointed minister to Berlin.

LLEWELLYN JORDAN EXPLAINS
1nefhciency Due to approximation
Costs Government $1,000, 900.
Conditions Need Correction.

Paymaster General Charles H. Whip
pie. in his annual report to the Score
tsry Of War advocates increased COM
pensation and retirement privileges for
the clerks in his office at the War De-
partment.
Attention was called in the last re-
port. he says. TO the fact that no
change had been made in salaries Of
clerks in this office since 1870. The
paymaster general again most earnestly
recommends that an increase in the
various classes be made to all govern
ment clerks at an early day. The sue
cess Of this office is largely due to the
faithful labors Of these clerks. and it
is believed that they have earned tine
financial recognition recommended.
"One of the prominent mercantile
agencies has recently reported that
since 1896 there has been an increase
OF 40 per cent in the cost of living OK
penses. and consequently each year the
burden falls heavier upon these salaried
employees.
1.-The estimates for salaries in the eX-
ecutive departments and establishments,
prepared by the committee on grades and
salaries under executive order Of June II,
1907, in my opinion represent a very close
approximation of what is desired and
merited in way of Redistribution OF
grades and salaries. As stated in my
former report, II is earnestly recommend
ed that these estimates be given favora-
BILE consideration by Congress during the
coming session.
II am In hearty sympathy with the
present movement, which has for its OBJ
ject the retirement of clerks with reason
able compensation after they have reach
ed an age which incapacitates them for
the performance Of their full duties"

MSoP CLAIM NEAR SETTLEMENT
FAMOUS CHILEAN CASE PEND
ING FOR IS YEARS.
American Firm Advanced More
Than a Million to Bolivia-War
Stops Fulfllmeut Of Contract.

Information has reached the State Dc
partment that the celebrated Alsop claim
against Chile is In a fair way OF settle
ment. The delay of Mr.. Dawson. until
recently minister to Chile. In coming to
Washington to take charge Of the bu-
reau Of American affairs is ex-
planned by the statement that Mr.. Daw-
son, who is entirely familiar with the sec-
ord in this case. has been requested TO re-
main In Santiago In the hope that final
settlement may shortly be reached.
The Alsop case which has been pending
in the department for thirty-five years.
had its origin in the advance Of money
by Americans TO the Bolivian govern
ment in return for rights to valuable
suano deposits. The amount Of money
advanced by Alsop & Co, which is pure
ly an American concern. was more than
million dollars in gold. The Bolivian
government recognized the claim and
made a contract fer its settlement. the
basis of which was to be the receipts
from the custom house at africa, together
with long leases Of a number of valuable
silver mines.
Before these arrangements could be car
ried out. however, war broke out between
Chile and Bolivia and the customs re-
ceipts at africa were taken over by the
Chilean government.
Changes were made in the mining laws,
SO that the arrangements which had been
made with Bolivia were not carried out.
Alsop & Co. at the close of the war,
finding themselves dispossessed of the
guano fields and the mines as we'll as
the receipts from customs. appealed to
Chile for settlement.
Justice Of Claim Recognized.
Chile recognized the justice Of the ella i'm
in 1885, and 1t has been before the de-
partment ever since. Promises have been
made at intervals. The reason for nom
settlement Is that Chile has not been
able to raise the necessary funds TO
square the account. For that reason the
claim was not pressed at that time. but
In 1895 fresh promises to pay were made,
both - to principal and interest.
The claim once came before the Ameri-
can-Chilean claims commission. but was
dismissed for want of Jurisdiction. Many
offers for settlement have been made, but
the amounts offered were considered in
adequate, and were refused.
This government Is now insistent that
this. claim shall be settled properly. Or
the whole matter referred to an impartial
arbitration on its merits.

THEIR ACTION IRRlTATES JUDGE
FRENCH COURT RAPS BoNI AND
PRINCESS DE SAGAN.
Declares Castellane Children Must
Be Placed as Resident Pupils
in Certain School.

Special Cablegrsm to The Star.
PARIS, October <2s.-The appeal court
rendered its decision today in the matter
of the Castellane children's. attendance
at some school. and incidentally raped
Count Boni and the Princess Sagan. Last
May the court decided that unless the
parents agreed otherwise the two eldest
children should be placed as resident pu'
pills in the Janson de Sally School.
In July Count Boni suggested to his
Former wife that the children be made
nonresident pupils of the Janson Lycere
Stanislus College.
The princess eyaded giving a direct
answer and there was further CORE
Gould and the count as to the health OF
the children. in which both produced
medical certificates to contrary state
ments of facts.
Meanwhile the count had surrendered
the children to the princess and the mat
ter was up in the air. SO to- speak. when
last Friday Count Boni asked the appeal
court to carry out its original decision
and order that the children be placed as
resident pupils at the Janson school.
Court Hoped for Agreement.
He also asked that the princess be COM
PEELED to pay penalty Of 500 day for
each child for every day that she failed
to carry out the courts rulings.
The court, as already stated, had left
loophole for the parents to get together
and agree on the matter.
The court in it's decision handed down
today says the children must be placed
as resident pupils at the Janson school
in accordance with it's decision of May %.
The court declares in its decision that
the parents-Count Boni and the Princess
de Sagan-have up to the present simply
tried to evade carrying out its decision
and made no effort to place the children
the expenses.
