ROGERS
FORCED TO RESIGN
Row with Secretary Meyer
Comes to a Head.

Paymaster General Eustace b Rogers,
L. $. n, chief of the Bureau Of Supplies
and Accounts Of the Navy Department,
will resign within the next few weeks.
Alleged improper management Of the
navy supply fund and Iisobedience Of
orders. amounting. in the opinion Of Sec
retary of the Navy Meyer. almost TO IN
subordination, are the main causes Of his
downfall In naval circles it is generally
believed that his resignation was de-
manded. Rogers honesty or integrity are
not questioned.
The immediate cause OF the resignation
was a preliminary report 10 Secretary
Meyer OF an expert accountant appointed
to investigate the business methods Of
the bureau. The accountant reported
that Mr.. Rogers was unable 70 make a
trial balance OF his books or to give
a statement of the various funds on hand
The paymaster generals resignation
was the expected elimination Of dispute
with SECRETARY Meyer, which has been
pending for about six months Early
last winter Mr.. Rogers opposed the
Meyer reorganization which placed the
charge Of naval affairs largely in the
hands of line officers
In the course Of the moGernization Of
the departmental business method Mr..
Meyer devoted much attention TO the
Bureau of Supplies and Accounts. The
navy supply fund was created by Con-
gresS about seventeen years age as n
general stock Of supplies from which each
bureau was to purchase to suit rs needs.
Il was limited to S270000O and Congress
declined twice 10 increase this limit. Be
tween July ]. 1907. and September 30.
1903. stores worth about S9,0C00j were
transferred at Mr.. Rogers recommcnda- /
tion 10 the navy supply fund. Mr. Meyer
thought that the fund as administered by
Mr.. Rogers was illegal.
Mr.. Meyer. on March 3 issued orders
that the fund be reduced to the legal
limit.
After six weeks delay. his orders had
not been carried out by the Paymaster /
General. and Mr.. Meyer had TO draft a /
letter to accomplish his object, and issue
orders for its transmission to !
the various bureaus and navy yards af- |
fected.
Mr.. Rogers declined to discuss his res !
ignation. lie has been Paymaster Cen /
eral since November 1, 1906. He was /
formerly in charge of the naval uniform |
factory at the New York Navy Yard. |
During the Spanish war he served on the |
monitor Monterey.
As Chief Of the Bureau of Supplies and |
Accounts. Mr.. Rogers had the rank and |
pay of a rear admiral. He will resume his |
status as pay director. with the rank Of .
captain. and Will be assigned to new

GIRL FALLS SENSELESS
ON COFFIN OF FIANCE

Baltimore. May 17-As a dramatic and
pitiful climax 10 her long trip from
Italy 70 this country TO marry the sweet
heart of her girlhood days, Miss Madeline
Zanella broke from those who were try
ing to keep the news of her bereavement
from her and entered the room where
her fiance lay dead in his coffin.
As she saw the casket last evening and
its garlands Of flowers she guessed the
truth. Rushing to it's side she startled
for an instant at the pallid face of the
man she was to have wed to-day. Then
with a scream she fell in a faint across
the coffin.
Until Miss Zanella saw the narrow
black covered resting place Of Eugene
Piazza, her husband that was to have
been, did she have any suspicion Of the
sad truth that awaited her.
