CINCINNATI, Ohio, February 2.-The
trial of Mrs. Jeanette Stewart Ford for
the blackmailing of Charles L. Warmer
was continued here today.
Judge James B. Swing declined TO stop
the proceedings on motion of the de-
Tense to dismiss because Prosecuting At

order and furnish the defense with a
transcript of the grand jury testimony

The decision is not final, Judge Swing
stating that the point at issue is involved
in a case pending before the Supreme
Court of the state. Until that is decided
he will hold the matter in allegiance.

He said the defense could take exception
to this course, and that IL the Supreme

PASS URGENCY BILL
Senate Makes Few Changes
in the Measure.
DISTRICT ITEMS NOT CUT
Salaries of Customs Judges Must Be

DISTRICT ITEMS NOT CUT

The Senate this afternoon passed the
urgent deficiency bill. authorizing ex-
penditures of about, 100000. Few
changes were made intthe bill as 1t came
from the committee on appropriations
yesterday.
The most important action on the floor
Of the Senate was the striking from the
bill of a provision fixing the salaries of
the judges and employees of the court Of
customs appeals
The Senate committee has added a
short amendment to the House bill fixing
the salaries. Senator Bulkley of Con-
necticut made d point of order against
this amendment on the ground that 1t
was general legislation. Immediately fol-
lowing, Senator Hale, who was in charge
of the bill on the floor, offered to strike
out the entire paragraph relating to the
salaries of the new court.
This action throws into conference the
question as to what salary these official
shall receive. The House had allowed the
judges $1,000 per year, despite the fact
that the tariff act which created the court
fixed their compensation at $1,000 per
year.
DSCrlct Items det by.
When the items of expenditures for
the District government were reached
there was no discussion, and the
amendments inserted by the committee
giving $1,3O4 more to the District than
was allowed by the House were ac-
cepted by the Senate.

about $65S,O0O, of which about S01O,OOO

UNDER NEW RULE
Transfers of Prominent Naval
Officers Probable.
PLAN OF ADMINISTRATION
Paymaster General Rogers and
Chief Constructor Caps Slated.
APPROVED BY THE PRESIDENT
Policy Receiving Support of Line
ohcers-Not in Line With
the Swift Idea.
APPROVED BY THE PRESIDENT

1t is freely predicted in naval circles
that Paymaster General Rogers, chief of
the bureau of supplies and accounts, and
Chief Naval Constructor Caps, chief of
the bureau of construction and repair,
shortly will be transferred to other fields
Of usefulness in the navy. The prediction
Is based on the testimony of the two Off
GERS named before the Senate committee
on naval affairs in practical opposition to
the so-called Swift plan Of naval reor-
ganization.
That plan has been adopted by the Pres
ident and the Secretary of the Navy and
therefore is the administration plan. It
has been in operation only few weeks
and Is receiving the earnest support of
the line officers of the navy and of some
Of the bureau chiefs.
1t is admitted that Paymaster Gen.
Rogers and Chief Constructor Capps are
not in sympathy with the plan, the former
on general principles and the latter
mainly because it reduces the power and
importance of the construction corps in
operationS at the navy yards.

Moreover, in addition to criticising the

the loyal and efficient support of all the
operation of his plans and policies In the
naval establishment. AS the present
chiefs of the important bureau OF sup
Plies and construction are not in full
sympathy with them. it is argued that il
is only natural to infer that they will not
retain their offices. Chiefs Of naval hu-
reaus are appointed by the President. and
confirmed by the Senate. for a term Of
four years, and serve Il longer or shorter
period, according to circumstances They
have the rank and pay of rear admiral
while so serving. regardless of their reg
ular grade In the service.
Serving Second Term.
Rear Admiral Caps is now serving his
second term as chief of the bureau or
construction and repair, having been COM
missioned in that office in October, 1905
His term will not regularly expire until
October, 1911. Paymaster General Roy
ers was appointed chief of the bureau of
supplies and accounts in November, 1906
and his four-year term will be up next
November. They may be relieved sooner,
either by their own request or by the ap-
pointment and confirmation of their sue
cessors. AS the two officers represent the
views of most of the officers of the corps
to which they are attached, It NAV be
somewhat difficult to fill their places
without going outside of the staff of the
navy, from which the two Offices have al
ways been filled,
