NAVAL VESSEL REFUSED.
Department Cannot Set Precedent il
the Timby Case.

The Navy Department has disapproved
the proposition to transport the remains
of DIR. Theodore R Timby on a naval
vessel from Brooklyn, N. Y. to this city
for burial in the Arlington national ceme-
terry. The friends of DIR. T1mby claim
that he is entitled to this honor because
of his invention Of the revolving gun
turret for naval vessels said to have
ernment. They cited. as precedent, the
case of John Ericsson, the builder OF the
first monitor, whose body was transported
from this country to Sweden on the L. s.
S. Baltimore in 1890
Acting Secretary Winthrop has written
letter to the chairman of the House COM
mittee on naval affairs expressing the
view Of the department. on this subject.
The sending of the body of Ericsson to
Sweden" he said. was an International
courtesy. and 1t Is believed should not be
regarded precedent in according
similar houors in the case under con-
sideration. | can recall no instance in
which the remains of private citizen of
the United States have been transported
in a vessel of the navy, and to do in
the present case would establish a prec-
edent which not only would undoubtedly
result in an endless number of such re-
quests being made, but would cause con-
siderable embarrassment both to Con-
gress and to the department
The department also suggests that if
the claim Of DIR. Timby's friends were
recognized at this time in the way of
accedng to their request for the trans
portation Of his remains by a naval ves-
sci. IL might later form the basis of a re-
quest Of Congress for an appropriation in
recognition of the services which they
claim he has rendered to the govern

TO PURSUE SAME LINE
IN STEPHENSON PROBE
Course of Investigation in
Lorimer Election to Be
Adopted in Wisconsin's.

The same course adopted in the investi-
cation of the Lorimer election will be fol-
lowed by the Senate committee on privi-
leges and elections in the investigation
Of the election of Senator Isaac Stephen
son of Wisconsin, 1t Is believed. The
investigation will be made by q sub
committee Of the committee. which will
make it's report to the full committee.
No date for beginning the investigation
has been set, but there is no inclination
on the part Of the committee to permit
any delay In the matter.
Although the Senate adopted a resolu-
tion yesterday afternoon submitted by
Senator Dillingham;. chairman of the
committee on privileges and elections,
providing for the investigation OF the
Stephenson election, 1t later rescinded
its action because of a technical error.
1t is the usual course of the Senate to
refer such resolutions, calling for the
expenditure of money, to the committee
on contingent expenses.
The Senate therefore. referred the
resolution to that committee, whose
favorable report as to the expenditures
called for by the resolution is necessary
before the resolution can be adopted. The
committee will probably report 1t back
at an early date this week, and the
Senate will again give it's approval to the
Investigation.
