New Haven two years ago ne fell in VITA
a gang of older youths who taught him
how to break into houses. He was ar
rested and sent to a reform school, but
was later patroled when his family
moved ont of the State.
Since then he lived straight until n

J0KERS IN BILLS
TO RAISE MAINE
Ambiguous Language in Meas
ures May Delay the Work
until Next Year.

Washington. July E.-Officials Of the
war department think they have dis
covered technicalities IN the bills APP
proprlatng money for raising the wreck
of the Maine in Havana, and they have
held up the work until Attorney General
Wickcrsham makes a ruling
Congress made two appropriations, one
of 100000 and one Of $2co, Ooo The first
appropriation in the bill authorizing the
the removal Of the wreck read that the
secretary Of war and the chief IF
engineers are authorized and directed to
provide with all convenient speed for
tho raising or removal cs .he wreck Of
the battleship Maine nom the harbor OF
Havana. cuba, and for the proper inter-
ment of the bodies therein In Arlington
national cemetery"
AFTER It's passage the army enginec~,
reported that 10000 was insufficient and
an item of $4,000 was Inserted In the.
general deficiency bill. The clause maxi
ing provision for the appropriation set
forth that II must he expended In ac-
cordancc with the provisions Of the act
approved May TO- 1aio.
The act referred to was approved
May 8, 1910. and It was clearly the
intent Of Congress, II Is believed ny
some, to refer to the act approved
May 2.
The other technicality Is In the phrase
provide for raising the Maine. The
officials want to know whether II was
Intended that the army engineers should
make all provisions for raising the
Maine and then report to Congress. or
20 ahead and raise the wreck without
making any report
Both of these questions will have tc

the engineer officers say, before they will
proceed any further. It Is admitted that
little has been done so far
There are some in Washington who
profess to believe that the two tech.
nicalities were 'jokers' and that neither
Congress nor the administration want the
Maine raised at this time.

VETER ANS AND RECRUITS.

(F'rom tn" Philadelphia Record
If Leonard Wood. NJ. D., major gen.
eral and chief of staff, understands the
relative value of old soldiers and re-
cruits. everybody else connected with
the army. time out OF mind, has been en-
tirely wrong
For some time there has been a rage
for younger commanding officers, and
competent men in the prime OF life are
now put on the retired list in order that
some youngsters may get up faster.
This mania for youth has now so In
fected Gen, Wood that he says: "As It
exists to-day It may be described as an
army or veterans. When such Is the
case there Is danger Of loss Of enthusi-
assn. The soldier who has seen from
five to % years OF service does not ac-
cept instructions as readily as re-
cruit."
