SECRETARY OF WAR NOT
GOvERNEDBy POLITICS.
Will Take No Action in Ale
gheny Contest Until Both
Sides Are Heard.

. Secretary Garrison made it clear to a
caller this. morning, in connection with
the improvement Of certain section of
the Mississippi river, that political con-
siderations will not govern his action to
any extent whatever in the execution of
the acts of Congress for public works
He referred particularly to the expendi-
ture Of the appropriations for the i'm
,provement of rivers and harbors.
An effort was made to reopen the long
standing controversy between the munich
pal authorities of Allegheny, Pa, and
the coal and other interests desiring to
have the Allegheny river opened to navi-
CATION. a proposition involving the re-
moval or raising Of seven bridges across
that river in the city. Five of those
bridges are owned by the municipality
and two by railroads. Heretofore those
interests have prevented every effort to
secure the removal or raising of the
bridges.
The fight undoubtedly now will be re-
opened in view Of the fact that Congress
has appropriated 100000: for the i'm
provement OF the upper Allegheny, with a
promise Of additional appropriations. con-
tingent, however, on the removal Of the
bridge Instructions near the mouth OF
the river.
TO visitor interested in that matter.
Secretary Garrison said this morning
that no action viii be taken IN the mat
ter by the officers OF the War Depart
meut one way or the other until after
representatives of both sides OF the ques-
ton had received amp.e notice of the
purposes OF the department, and had been
given an opportunity to be heard on the
subject.
Stimson's Friendly Assistance.
The new Secretary of War has one de-
cided advantage over all his colleagues in
the cabinet In that his predecessor, Mr..
Stimson, remains with him, in an entire
" unofficial capacity, however to assist
in the disposition Of various problems
that have been pending before the War
Department for some time, and which
were left over for the action Of the new
Secretary.
Mr.. Stimson has been allotted small
ONCE between the of1ce OF the Secretary
and that OF Gen. Wood, chief of staff. He
has consented to remain In Washington
q few days longer in order to help Sec
rotary Garrison wind up a few tangled
skeins OF unsettled business. The pleas
ATTEST relations exist between the two Of
ficials.
The situation, however, is almost with
out precedent. especially in view Of the
political change that has Just occurred
in the government So
