C4RNEGIE RETURNS,
Delighted at B0nnards Er-
pected VictOry.

Andrew Carnegie, wearing small sprig
of white heather on the lapel of his coat
arrived here yesterday on the White Star
liner Baltic. He had been away six
months with his wife and daughter visit
ing through the continent, and ended his
trip with a rest at Skibo Castle, his es-
tate in Scotland. The heather, according
TO Mr.. Carnegie, had been put on his coat
by Mrs. Carnegie a talisman, and he
declared he had had good luck ever since
he wore It. He didn't say he had a piece
for Mr.. Barnard but he expressed de-
light when told that the forecast Of a To-
cal newspaper announced Mr.. Barnard as
the next Mayor.
The Laird OF Skibo'' thought that Eng
land was in an unnecessary state of frenzy
over the prospects of a war with Germany.
This alarm" he said, 'is wholly un-
warranted. Germany is no doubt ont - a
commercial war with England and is anx-
fous to divert to Germany some trade that
Is now going on with England but, surely,
Germany does not intend to enter into an
actual conflict, a real war, with England"
Mr.. Carnegie said he was confident that
actual conflict with armies and ships
would not be likely to follow "A commercial
war. He said he regretted to see the ma
tions of the world continuing TO prepare
themselves for war

Annapolis, Oct. 31--At the Naval Acad-
envy it was not thought that the fatal
accident to Cadet Byrne. of West Point,
or the serious accident to Wilson. the
Naval Academy player, would result in the
cancellation Of the ArmyNavy game or
any change in the status OF football at
the two institutions, even though Wilson's
injury should also result fatally. as now
seems less probable. Though none OF the
officials here wish to be quoted definitely, it
can be said positively that no recommenda-
ton for the cancellation will emanate from
the Naval Academy.
Reports from the attending surgeons as
to the condition of Wilson, the injured
midshipman, were encouraging this morn
ing For two days Wilson has been show
ing Improvement in his general conditi, =.
and his temperature, pulse and respiration
are about normal 1t is hoped that in q
few days an operation to relieve the press
ure upon the spinal cord may be under
taken. The surgeons have feared that an
anasthetic would prove fatal in his weak
ened condition, but Wilson's remarkably
vitality may overcome this.
Captain John NJ. Bowyer, superintendent
Of the academy, said tonight: so far
my opinion as to football is unaltered 1
have not arrived at conclusion adverse to
its continuance at the Naval Academy"

death that the authorities at West Point
will favor abolition or curtailment OF the
game. They regard football as a valuable
part of a mans training there, and while
they are undoubtedly full of regret at tho
accident they are not likely to lose sight Of
the fact that Byrne might have met his
death just as suddenly in half a hun
dred ways not related TO football in any
way. man could sustain such injuries
in riding very easily. and even. perhaps,
in dancing on slippery floor; but neither
riding nor dancing would be stopped at
West Point If such an accident did occur
in the dancing hall or the riding school.
Certainly the attitude Of the Army men
at our conference in 1905 ought to forecast
their probable behavior now. Neither Cap
tain Pierce nor Colonel Howe Is there
now, 1 believe. but they undoubtedly have
successors of the same stamp. and 1 feel
very sure that. unless higher authorities
intervene, no action against the game Will
be taken"

rentage. He was born at GAINESVILLE. Ohio.

years old his parents moved 10 Brooklyn
where he obtained his early education.
When seventeen years old he went to AL
bany and became associated with his uncle,
Louis Sautter, In the drug business. In
1874 Mr.. Gaus started in business for him
elf and built the block at Washington ave
nue. and Lark street. Albany. where he con-
tinued in business up to the time of his
death.
He represented the 18th Ward in the
Board Of Supervisors In Albany County in
1874 and 1875 and later filled the position
of member of the Board of Public Instruc-
ton for eight years. being president one
year. For three years. beginning in Issi.
Mr. Gaus served as Street Commissioner.
and in 1899 was elected City Assessor for
a term of four years. During two years CT
the term he was president of the Board of
Assessors. and resigned on assuming the
office of Mayor on January 1, 1902, to
which Office he was reelected three times.
Last November he was elected Controller Of
the State of New York.
During Mr. Gauss mayoralty many i'm
provements were made IN the methods of
administering public business at Albany.
He was a consistent advocate OF improving
the Hudson River front. for which the state
Ii gislature subsequently passed the neces-
sary legislation. On his recommendation
an enlargement of the citys water supply
was made. He also appointed a commission
to erect a memorial to the soldiers and sail
ors of the Civil War, the Legislature and
Common Council of the city OF Albany pass
ing measures which empowered him to
do SO.

gendered will result in economy NO ad-
di;ional clerical force has been needed In
perfecting this system, and when certain
work in arrears and the labor Of establish
ing the new system are completed, small
er clerical force will suffice.
Having once established a system by
which cost can be shown with reasonable
accuracy. the work of the navy yards can
be compared with similar work OF outside
firms. and. better still. with each other.
and a standard of economy created.
NAVAL OFFICERS PLEASED.
The impression prevails among naval Of
ficers in Washington that the Secretary OF
the Navy has taken long step in the
right direction in ordering the new system
of accounting to be installed in all navy
yards The existing system is generally
recognized obsolete and inadequate. lack
ing the proper checks and making 1t I'M
possible to determine with any degree Of
accuracy the cost of work in the various
yards. Secretary Meyer, who has had ex-
tensive business experience, perceived inn
nediately on assuming the office that the
accounting system was source OF weak
ness, and at once determined to replace 1t
with modern system.
Naval officers who have had an oppor-
tunity to examine the new system believe
that in so far accounting is concerned it
will place the navy yards on basis as up
to date any modern manufacturing es-
tablshment, and that 1t will result In a
rivalry between the various agencies in the
several yards, which must go far to pro-
mote economy.
1t is assumed that this is the first step in
the direction of installing that reorganiza-
ton provided for in the report OF the Swift
board. While the Secretary OF the Navy
has determined to make public no part of
the report OF that board, unless the ac-
counting system be so regarded. until It
has been submitted to the President. those
who have enjoyed opportunity to ex-
anime the report speak of 1t in terms of
the highest commendation, and declare that
II presents a remarkably satisfactory solu-
ton Of the snarl of difficult and complex
problems bequeathed to the present ad-
ministration of the Navy Department.

ASKS HOLY WAR.
"AU White SIaUe' Stories
True, Says Gen. Bingham.

- General Theodore A. Bingham, In an at
tack on Tammany Hall last night, ap-
pealed to the congregation at the Church of
the Saviour, at 111th street and Lexington
avenue, to join in what he called holy
war against the Tammany government. He
said that it would be impossible to tell a
church audience about the so-called white
slave traffic, but that every word which
was printed was true and that half had not
been told.
Il wish you could know the TRUTH said
General Bingham. fortunately It does
not make itself seen all the time. and when
II does we occupied with our busi-
ness and so startled at facts that we say it
cannot be true. 1t is not exaggerated.
Every one of those white slave articles
true. but 1 cannot talk TO you about
them. The details are too horrible"
General Bingham said that Tammany.
since its inception 40 years ago, had been
an organization of thuggery, murder,
crookedness and rottenness. He referred
TO Aaron Burr as its founder. The former
Police Commissioner explained that he had
been removed from Office because Tammany
wanted to get ready for the election.
In taking up the subject of graft Cen
eral Bingham said he could tell a number

said. Some judges are in it. You know

Percy NageI, who, he said, had tried TO run
the Police Department, but quickly retired
when he was told that there would be no
political interference. He urged the women
in the congregation to take part in the fight
against TamnanN.

r1ous the cheering stands were hushed
as if by magic. No one spoke above a
whisper. A few minutes later Dr. Sharpe,
of Yale. the referee. announced that the
game was over and the spectators filed
silently down to the station, leaving q
deserted football field, where laughter
and waving college pennants had made y
gay picture before the accident changed
the scene. Then, when all were gone,
Byrne was taken to the hospital.
AT the hospital skilled surgeons, work
ing with relays of capable attendants,
labored over Byrne throughout the night.
Conscious at times. he realized the Sc
riOusness Of his condition as the physi-
clans and nurses kept at their task. and
with a smile encouraged them in their
labors.
The surgeons realized as the hours
wore on that they were only serving to
prolOng, not to save, a life; and Byrne
knew it. too, before the day broke. He
faced death smiingly, only thoughtful
for the grief-stricken father who was
with him when the end came.
Meanwhile the current of life at the
academy had almost ceased. The reser-
walton was transformed into a lodge of
sorrow, and grief found expression in
countless ways. All social functions
planned for last night, including the
eagerly awaited hop, were abandoned.
By order of Colonel Scott, cadet ac-
tivities for the day were directed to be
only such as were necessary. There was
no parade tonight, the flag was low
cred to halfmast and directions were
given that all academic duties be sus-
pended tomorrow.
Byrne was only twenty-one years old.
but was a veteran of the Army football
team and popular with his classmates
and officers. He was acting as captain
of the eleven yesterday, and he gave his
life, too early, but as his father wished
it, struggling on the field for the honor of
the army.
Messages of sympathy poured in to the
academy throughout the day Notable
were the expressions of coincidence from
officials and midshipmen Of the Naval
Academy at Annapolis. These mes
sages. read to the cadet corps at supper

Princeton, N. j.. Oct. N--Princeton foot

death OF Byrne. the Army tackle. A state
E.ent given out by the authority Of the

Cadet Byrne's death Is a most unfotu-

family of Cadet Byrne have the deep SYM

death of Cadet Ryrne may cast cloud
over football. 1t is not to be taken as an
accident by any means Characteristic of tho
game as it is now played. While there is
always some element of danger in almost
any sport, football included. the system Of
training and the mode of play now in vogue
have greatly reduced the chances OF serious
injury to players.

"Pooch" Donovan. the trainer, and tho

to the fact that Byrne had become weak
