NAVAL RULES QUESTIONED,
Claimed That Bureau Chiefs Are
Practically Deprived of Status.

Although the revised naval regulations
were officially promulgated only few
days ago. the question already has been
raised as to their legality. 1t is contend
ed that they practically deprive bureau
chiefs Of their official status. and give the
aids to the Secretary of the Navy Of
fetal status only short Of executive
authority.
When Secretary Meyer first appointed
his four aids in December. 1909. he wished
to bestow upon them executive authority
that would put them in line for acting
secretary, and to have the authority of
issuing orders. The Attorney General
held that that would be illegal, and Sec
rotary Meyer asked Congress last win
ter, and again at the last session, for a
law to legalize the aids. No such leg
islation was enacted.
The bureau chiefs. by the latest amend
ments to the regulations, have no direct
official relations with the Secretary or
assistant secretary, and must make all
their recommendations and send In all
their papers and orders for signatures
through the four aids. They must also
provide any information at any time
asked OF them by the aids, for the Sec
rotary.
Since the bureau chiefs are officials of
the Navy Department, appointed by the
President and confirmed by the Senate,
1t Is predicted that senators Interested In
naval affairs will investigate the situa-
tion created by the new regulations.

PAY Of LABORERS LOW
IN HAWAIIAN ISLANDS
Plantation Workers Practical.
Iy in State of Peonage,
Says Commissioner.

Standards established by the sugar
planters and other employers of labor
in the Hawaiian Islands are so low and
the wages paid so small as to reduce the
Iaborers practically to a state Of peonage
and discourage the Americanization of
the islands, according to Commissioner
General of immigration Keefe in a re-
port made to Secretary Nagel of the
Department Of Commerce and Labor
upon his recent visit to Hawaii.
Mr.. Keefe finds that s. per cent of
the employees of the sugar plantations
are Japanese. and that entry has been
gained to the United States through the
Hawaiian Islands by an immense num-
Der of immigrants who would have been
barred had the immigration laws been
enforced. Many of these people, after
effecting entry there, take passage for
American ports on the mainland, where
they cannot be debarred after their entry
at Hawaii.
Cooperation Is Urged.
'I do not see how 1t will be possible to
Americanize Hawaii, unless some SUBJ
stantial encouragement is offered to
Americans and desirable Europeans"
states Mr.. Keefe. 1T does seem to me
that If the planters would give their
earnest cooperation to the territorial
immigration board in the efforts it is
putting forth to stimulate European inn
migration, it would no doubt go a long
way toward solving the labor problem
in the islands, and at the same time
gradually bring the standard of wages
and living more nearly into equality
with that existing on the mainland.
Improvement in the housing accommo.
dations on some Of the plantations is
very much needed. If the plantation
stores are to be conducted it should be
only for the purpose Of protecting the
wage-earners against exorbitant charges
by Independent storekeepers for the
necessities of life. and not for profit

Appeals to United States.

He organized the United States and
Venezuela Asphalt Company in New York
in 1908 and purchased an asphalt lake
from the Venezuelan government. A
railroad was built to carry the asphalt
to the coast under an agreement that 1T
should be free from export duty. Accord
Ing to Crichfield Castro changed his mind
about the duty and backed out of his
agreement. The company found itself un-
able to remove its asphalt and Crichfield
took his case before the United States
government.
The asphalt company finally filed a
claim against Venezuela for $4,000, 600
The company eventually became bankrupt
and after the passing Of Castro as the
head of Venezuelan affairs the govern
ment settled the claim for $4,000. The
settlement wasn't at all satisfactory to
Crichfield as he reheersed the history OF
Castro and the trials of the asphalt COM
panies in his book.
Crichfield was born In Missouri about
fOrty-nine years ago. He taught school
and ran a country newspaper in his early
manhood. At the age of twenty-five he
went to Chicago and wrote for the Trib-
une and the Inter Ocean. He came to
New York seventeen years ago and two
years later became interested In asphalt
deposits in Mexico and Central America.

|D|ES FROM WOUNDS
G. W. CrichfieId, American,
Shot From Ambush in Mexico.
ASSASSIN MAKES ESCAPE
Letter to Family Just Before Shoot
ing Told of Threats Made by
Former Employe.

George W. Crichfield, the American who
was shot from ambush several days ago
at his ranch near Tuxpan. Mexico, died
yesterday, according to a telegram re-
ceived at the State Department today
from Clarence A. Miller, United States
consul at Tampico.
Mr.. Crichfield was we'll known in Hud-
son county, N. j., where he ran for Con-
gress in the ninth New Jersey district on
the republican ticket in the fall Of 1908
being defeated by Representative Eugene
b. kinkead. He was married and had
one son, Grant, nineteen years old, who
is student at Stevens Institute Of Tech
nology in Hoboken. N. ]. Mrs. Crichffeld
is actively engaged in philanthropic and
church work.
Mr.. Crichf1eld left home in the latter
part Of January for his ranch in the
mountains about tweve miles from Tux
pan, where the shooting is reported to
have taken place. He was interested in a
company which is prospecting for Oil, and
he went to Mexico for the purpose OF
working out the plans Of the company.
Letter Spoke Of Threats.
Recently his family received a letter
in which he spoke of threats which had
been made against him by a man who
had formerly been in his employ. No
definite information has been received as
to the person who shot him, and members
Of his family conjecture that he may
have been attacked by the discharged en-
pioye.
William T. S. Crichfeld, general SUPER
intendent Of the Uvalde Asphalt Com
pany, the dead mans brother; Grant
Crichfield, his son; family nurse. and
a surgeon started for the Mexican ranch
as soon as they heard of the shooting.
They were due at Laredo, Tex, yester-
day. United States Consul Miller will
await their arrival at Tampico and &C
company them to Tuxpan, to make a
thorough investigation of the case.
Mr. Crichfield was formerly a member
of the Uvalde Asphalt Company. but had
not been connected with that concern for
several years. He formerly had large
concessions Of asphalt beds in Mexico and
Venezuela and spent much Of his time
looking after his interests in the tropics.
He had much trouble with President Cas-
tro Of Venezuela and subsequently wrote
a book entitled american Supremacy"
dealing with the Venezuelan president and
his way Of doing business.
