G. A. R. TO PROBE CASE
ice Howard, with War Record and 80
Years in Navy Yard, Laid Of.

Members Of the Grand Army Of the Re-
public in Brooklyn are displaying much in
terest in the case of Joe Howard. who
was recently laid of AZ the navy yard. nm
der the operation OF the new efficiency law
regarding service in the yard. Howard,
who was the oldest ssilmaker in the employ
OF the department has served half GEN.
tury in the Brooklyn yard. except the time
when he was away with the seth Regiment
OF New York Militia during the Civil war.
and Il is claimed by his friends that. as a
veteran. he is entitled to consideration over
those who have no war record.
Yard officials. however. say that the law
regarding veterans holds when men are be-
ing employed, but that the efficiency ruling
supersedes II when 1t comes 70 reducing
the force. Howard's case is by no means
an exceptional one and the Grand Army
OF the Republic has taken the matter up
with the determination OF finding out just
where its members stand in relation TO the
government service

ing against their allowing the loan eXhi-
biuon Of paintings by FL Greco and Gcya
TO be held in their galleries. because the
proceeds will be devoted tc the cause Of

The protest came in the form Of an anony-

when the exhibition opened yesterday re-
ports were rife in art circles that threats
had been made to slash the paintings.
We have received no threats" said NJ.

They are. AT the door of the gallery IN
which they are hung is a private watChman,
standing over six feet in height whose gray

No one connected with the galleries re-
gards the letter writer seriously and none

yesterday from remarks made by Mr.

He said that while he did not care TO
make any definite statement on the sub
ject. il was almost certain that China, no
matter which faction won in the present
upheaval. would begin the construction Of
a new navy as soon as her internal affairs
were more settled, and that large proper
ton OF the new battleshps would be built
In this country and that the steel and
amor plate used in their construction
would Re manufactured by American steel
companies.
Mr Schwab would not talk about his ne
gotistions with the Chinese government on
his recent visit. other than to say that
they had been satisfactory" He was opti-
mistic regarding the general outlook in
this country, and said that, in his opin-
ion, as soon as the political atmosphere
had clarified there would be an immediate
improvement in business.
