study and moro impartial inquiry | ask

ment Although it must be confessed
that he was wrong in his theory OF the

STILL SEEMS OLSEN.

According to the latest advices re-
ceived by VI. J. Bulger, state COM
mander of the Maccabees. there is no
doubt that the man who was going
under the name of John Jasper az
Elephane Butte, y. Mex, was John T.
Olsen, who absconded from Kenner af-
ter having embezzled several hun.
dred dollars from the Kenner Branch
of the Jefferson Commercial and Saw
Ings Bank.
To make assurances doubly certain
Mr.. Bulger has requested that to
young mans mother have the remains
eXhumed at FL Paso. Tex, and in this
way the Identification will be COM
plete. He expects to hear news con-
corning the final steps at an early
date. Mr.. Bulger has no doubt now
that the insurance money. $1,000, due
Mrs. Olsen will be paid to her.
DIR. J. d. Graham, who is employed
by the United States Reclamation
Service, for which Olsen, or Jasper,
was working. wrote to Mr.. Bulger stat
ing that Olsen, who went under the
name of Jasper, was out hunting WITH
William Chapman and Homer Monroe,
and was accidentally shot, this conclu-
sion being reached after the above
witnesses and Jasper stated the cir.
cumstances leading up to the wounding
which caused his death. DR.. Graham
declared there were reasons to be-
lieve that the dead man desired to con-
ceal his identity. Jasper or Olsen,
was wounded October when his gun
accidentally went off. He died the
same day. His Identification was also
made possible by photographs taken
here and in New Mexico. Olsen was
a member of the Kenner Tent of Mac.
cabees and was well known here.

ROOSEVELT VOICES FAITH IN To-
CAL NAVAL STATION.

Assistant Secretary Roosevelt, who
returned to Washington from his in
spection trip to New Orleans, Pensa-
cola, and other naval station points in
the South, made a report on the New
Orleans yard, which supplements and
makes stronger the report of Rear Ad-
miral Edwards, who recommended the
reopening of the New Orleans yard I'M
der command of a commissioned Off
Ger. He did not undertake to outline
what his report would be, except in
the most general way.
Il don't believe it is a secret that We
have a friendly feeling for the New
Orleans yard" said Mr.. Roosevelt, and
that We believe it can be used to good
advantage. From that, perhaps, you
can infer the nature of the report"
Secretary Daniels long ago came to
the conclusion that the New Orleans
yard should be used more, even, than
Rear Admiral Edwards, in his minority
report, recommended. But he could
not go out into the bright sunshine and
grab off facts and reasons for going
farther than the Admiral had recon-
mended. He wanted facts and rea-
sons for the stand he is going to take
and he has been gathering them, Mr..
Roosevelt's trip being undertaken pri-
marily to get the civilian point of view
on what the navy officers are inclined
to think of as only a technical problem
to which they should be allowed to
apply their solution. Mr.. Daniels want
ed judgment to supplement his own.
Mr. Roosevelt remarked upon the fit
condition of everything at the New Or
leans yard, except the flooring of the
wharf, which suggests that the Dock
Board may not be the only buyer of
belowgrade stuff for such purposes.
So far as Mr.. Roosevelt could see,
all that is needed at New Orleans is to
spend some money to complete pro-
jects that were under way when the
yard was closed nearly five years ago,
the detailing of men and the issuing of
orders directing ships to go to the New
Orleans station for such repairs as
they may need.
Nothing can be done, however, I'M
til after the passage of the next navy
appropriation bill. To all intents and
purposes, the money allowed in the
current bill has been absorbed by
other yards, although, if developments
in the Mexican situation required the
use of the yard, it is a certainty that
money could be taken from other yards
and used to fit up the one on the Mis-
sissippi. But nothing of that kind is
in contemplation except as an emery
ency measure.
