TANGLE IN BILL TO
RAISE Maine WRECK
War Department Is Puzzled Over the
Method of Proceeding With
Work.

WASHINGTON, July 26.-After
several days spent in acrimonious de-
bate, congress, at the late session,
passed bill supposedly providing for
raising the wreck of the battleship
Maine from the mud of Havana .har-
Dor, but now that the law is on the
statute books there is grave doubt as
to its true meaning and effect
The peculiar phraseology of the
law creates a doubt in the minds of
military authorities as to whether
they actually have authority to raise
the Maine, or merely to prepare plans
for raising the ship. On one point
only is the law clear-it does convey
authority to remove the masts of the
battleship and erect them as grim
monuments in Arlington cemetery.
Think Law Is Hazy.
Up to the present time the war de-
partment has taken no steps looking
to removing the wreck of the Maine,

says: THE secretary of war and

from the harbor of Havana" etc.
The special act carried an appro-
priation of 500. 600. and an addition
al $500, 600 was. carried in one of the
subsequent appropriation bills. But
this money is as yet untouched. for
the officials of the war department are
unable to determine by the wording
of the act whether they are to report
first to congress their plans for rails
ing the Maine. or to go ahead with
the work of raising and removing the

ST. LOUIS JURY
INDICTS HAYNES
DeHalcatiOns Amounting to Thousands
Of Dollars Said TO Have Led

ST. LOUIS, July 26.-Edgar AL
len Poe Haynes, formerly of st. Louis,
but now publisher of "a newspaper at
Spokane, was indicted by the grand
jury yesterday on three charges. The
Post Dispatch says:
While he was holding prayer meet
ings in his office and giving his leis-
ure time to work as lay preacher
and anti-wineroom crusader, Haynes,
by species of hypnotic influence,
it is alleged by representatives of the
claimants, was obtaining from some
of the most conservative st. Louis
business men large sums Of money.
The money has long since been
charged up to profit and loss" by
Haynes creditors and the story of
their transactions with him was
brought out today by the news of his
Indictment here on three charges.
the nature of which has not been
made public.
Lost Thousands, 1t Is Alleged.
Among those who lost thousands
by their dealings with Haynes are
said to have been Murray Carleton.
president of the Carleton Dry Goods
company; L. B. Tebbetts, wealthy i'm
plement manufacturer; Robert Rut-
ledge, real estate dealer; Henry S.
Whitner, H. A. Vrooman, E. G.
Lewis, the late Ed. Butler, Jr., and
the late George w. Gale.
Gale. who was a wealthy railroad
man and liberal giver to church en-
terprises, died few months after
having been forced into bankruptcy.
His home in Magnolia Terrace, neal
Taylor and st. Louis avenues, was
sold over his head chiefly as a result.
II Is now said, of his confidence in
Haynes.
Haynes religious activity gained
Tor him the confidence of Gale, who
at one time practically supported
church in the neighborhood of his
nome and Carleton, who is a lead
ing layman of the Southern Metho-
dist body, and "a number of other
wealthy men.

attorney general has been asked to
interpret the law.
The law further stipulates that no
move shall be made looking to the re-
moval of the wreck until the consent
Of the Republic OF Cuba has been OBJ
tanned. The Cuban government is
perfectly willing that the wreck shall
be removed. but the state department
does not care to ask for formal per-
mission until 1t is satisfied the war
department is ready to proceed to
business.
Bin Is Contradictory.
All in all, this act is one OF the
loosest pieces of legislation put
through congress in recent years. For
while leaving doubt on the main
question. it specifically provides for
the recovery of the bodies OF sailors
from the wreck. and for their inter
ment In Arlington cemetery. II is
specifically provides that the masts
of the ship shall be removed and
placed in Arlington cemetery over
the graves OF the victims Of the
Maine. Yet. if authority is not grant
ed to remove the wreck, the bodies
can not be recovered, and the masts
can not be removed.
Plain Decision Is Needed.
A common sense decision by the at
torney general will settle this whole
matter, for IL he holds that the de-
partment is expected to remove the
wreck, all the other acts authorized
can be consummated. and the long
disputed problem be put to rest for
ever.
If the decision of the attorney gen.
eral is to the effect that authority is
not granted for the actual removal of
the wreck the whole question will be
thrown back In congress. The debates
will be repeated, and law will event.
ually be passed authorizing the re-
moval of the Maine, for there is no
question that the majority of both
branches of congress believed they
were granting such authority in pass
ing the bill in question.

Nomination for Head Of Ticket

port received here this afternoon

as primary candidate for governor on
the republican ticket, created a SEN
sation among local politicians and
people in general, as this is the first
intimation had that Mr.. Fletcher as
pired to the governorship or any
other public Office. Mr.. Fletcher was
formerly engaged in the hardware
business here and was one of the
leading republicans of Nez Perce
county. He left here several years
ago to enter the banking business in
Boise. One of the most popular men
in the state, his announcement no
doubt will materially reduce the vote
for other candidates.
The consensus of opinion among
local leaders is that the fight now
centers around Brady, ONeil and
Fletcher. as Clagstone is little heard
Of and his candidacy not taken seri-
ously.
