ARMY AND NAVY NOTES
Secretary Meyer Appoints New
Aid for Personnel.
LFrom Th. -. EuresuI
Washington, january -.


POTTS SUCCEEDS POTTER. One Of the
most important changes I'm tho detail Of
naval officers is the detachment from duty
IS aid for Personnel of Rear Admiral W.
T. Potter to whom has been granted. on
his application. a leave of absence for four
months, expiring May 10, the date OF his
retirement. Rear Admiral Potter Will be
succeeded as Aid for Personnel by Captain
Terplin NJ Potts. now director Of naval
intelligence and member Of the General
Board CAPTAIN Potts has already assumed
The duties Of his new billet. Rear Admiral
Potter was seriously injured by a fall on
New Years Day. while coming down the
steps of the Navy Department on his
way 10 the reception at the White House,
and has not since been able 10 perform
his duties. Il was intended TO desis-
nate CAPTAIN Potts as Aid for Personnel
when Admiral Potter retired, and now Ad-
miraI Potter prefers 10 take leave and TO
bo retired without going on duty, although
he could be assigned TO duty as head Of the
Examining and Retiring Board. Inasmuch
q,. under the law. it will not he possible TO
retain retired officers on active duty after
July I. tho officers now retiring arc not
yoekInc now assignments 70 duty. MT
Never conter7plates certain changes IN the
.e,q9nization Of the work d"volving on ting
Aid for Personnel. i'm view of the iact thaI
there is a new chief of the Bureau OF
Navigation. II is barely possible that uIt-
,rotsIy the duties Of Aid for Personnel ana
Aid for Operations will he merged.

Cincinnati. Dec. l9.-Testimony relative
TO the existence OF an historical room, "
in which competing cash register manu-
facturers were "gloomed," was given to-
day by two Detroit manufacturers in the
trial of the thirty officers Of the National
Cash Register Company

stated that he had been put through the

dinner. At the dinner. McGraw stated.
President Patterson told him the National
would put out a machine in competition
with McGraw's machine that would sell
for s35. McGraw said he asked to pur-
chase the entire output, as he could not
make them that cheap. but Patterson re-
fused to sell them TO him. He later sold
out to the National company.

VIII SON FAILED TO
REACH BRYAN'S MARK
His Total Vote l04,919 Below the Party
Strength in 1908-Socialists Alone
Show Marked Gains

President-elect Wilson did not hold
completely the strength shown by the
Democratic party under Mr.. Bryans
leadership four years ago. His total
vote-6.3 1903, O63-is 1O4, 919 less than the
vote for Mr.. Bryan in 1908. 1t Is also
noteworthy that the combined vote for
Taft and Roosevelt fell little short
Of the vote cast for Taft alone when
he was first a Presidential candidate
The total vote cast last month by the
two divisions Of the Republican party
was 1905, 093. which was 69,224 below
the Republican total OF four years ago.
The Prohibition party also suffered
a loss in strength. its popular vote de-
creasing from 252,511 to 203,3l9. The
Socialist Labor vote, which is almost
negligible, was just about the same
as It was four years ago. But the So
cialist party, under Debs, made an
extraordinary gain, It's total increasing
from 42O,S9O in 1908 to S9S, last
November
Below is given the vote for the va
rious party candidates, by states:
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1912-12-20

The Tribune presents this morning,
in the table which follows the official
popular vote for Presidential candi-
dates in 1912. The canvass Of this
vote has been delayed in many states,
and the last one to complete the count
was New York. which made public its
official vote yesterday.
In view Of the excitement created in
the recent campaign for the Presidency
and the popular opinion that an enor-
nous vote would be brought out by
the triangular contest between Wilson,
Taft and Roosevelt, the figures Of the
national canvass contain some notable
surprises. The total vote in 1912-
15.O41 Co.'s only 1856 larger than
the total vote Of four years ago, in
spite OF the fact that two new states
have been admitted TO the Union since
then and suffrage has been granted to
women in the States of California and
Washington. But for the sccessions
thus made TO the roster Of voters the
popular vote OF 1912 would have fallen
below the popular vote OF 1908.

IFrom The Tribune Bureau.


Washington Dec l9.-Robert G. Nalen-
tine. who recently resigned as Commits
sioner OF Indian Affairs, is severely criu-
cised in report made TO the House to-
day by the Committee on Expenditures
in the Interior Department. which inves-
tigated charges brought against Mr.. Val
entines administration.
That Commissioner Valentine was guilty
of fragrant disregard OF the civil service
law that he illegally, improperly and ex-
travagantly expended public moneys, and
that he criminally violated the law by
permitting intoxicating liquors on an Ind
ian reservation. are allegations made by
the House committed
The former Commissioner is also
charged with having brought about the
dismissal on false and vague charges of
J. X. Farr, for thirteen years superin-
tendent OF logging in the Indian service.
and OF showing favoritism to other sub
ordinate employees of the bureau. The
committee report further states that the
conditions in the Indian service under the
Valentine administration are 'of amazing

FINDS JEWELS IN HENNERY
Child Discovers Stolen Prop
erty in Chicken Coop.
I Bv Telegraph ID The TrIbuns.

Hartford, Conn, Dec i9-The home OF
Otto Roy. in Sisson avenue. was entered
last week and a box containing 500 i'm
jewelry was carried away. This after
noon Gertrude Kingdom. . child who
lives near by. found the jewel box and
most Of the stolen Jewelry strewn on the
floor OF the chicken coop in the rear Of
her home.
She called to her mother to come aud
see the pretty red box" When Mrs.
Kingdom and Mrs. Roy entered the hen
merry they found not only the box, but all
the stolen property. with the exception OF
a gold brooch containing a chllds miuia-
ture. From a diamond studded bracelet
two chip diamonds were missing. and the
question now presents itself which OF
the fifty hens ought 10 be killed for the
Sunday dinner. so that the crop OF the
suspected diamond swallower may be eX-
amined for the missing gems
Mrs. Roy cannot imagine why the
brooch with the miniature was taken and
the rest OF the jewelry abandoned. She
believes the thief knew she sometimes
kept money in the jewel box. and that
when he failed 10 find any cash he threw
away the whole plumber.
