STORM BREAKS IN
"PLUCKING' INQUIRY
Henley Wants TO Bolt When
Names Spotted with Intoxi-
cation Are Withheld.

Washington. July Is. At a session
enlivened to-day by threats Of Dol.
by Representative Henley, a Missouri
Democrat, a subcommittee of the House
Naval Affairs Committee considered the
Beakes bill TO restore TO the active list
Captain John II. Gibbons, L. S. n,
who was recently retired by the Naval
"Plucking Board" Representative
restrained Mr. Henley from quitting
the hearing and comparative calm was
eventually restored.
Rear Admiral Austin VI. Knight, a
member Of the "Plucking Board" was
before the committee to explain why
Captain Gibbons had been retired
against his own wishes and apparently
despite his excellent physical condl-
ton. Admiral knight said that Cap
tain Gibbons had spent only three
years at sea in the last thirteen years,
and while his record on paper had been
fiawess he had not contributed, as had
other officers. TO naval science. The
board. he said. took cognzance of Off
GERS who had contributed TO the ma
tcrial efficiency OF the navy.
Mr.. Henley asked If there were not
officers whose records were spotted
with intoxication," who might have
been retired in preference to Captain
Gibbons, who had a perfect record
The admiral said there were two Off
GERS who had not been plucked, but
whose records were so "spotted.' Mr..
Henley demanded their names, and
Representative Britten interposed a
hurried objection, saying he did not
propose to have the intOXication rec
ord Of officers made the subject of tn .
committee hearing. Admiral Knight
asked 70 be- excused from giving names
and Mr.. Henley became so indignant
that he tried 20 quit the committee
room in the stormy colloquy which
followed.
MIR. Britten's motion 10 excuse Adj
mira Knight from testifying regard
ing records spotted by intoXication"
finally prevailed The committee is ex-
pectcd to report the Beskes bill, and
there was increased sentiment to-day
in favor Of legislation 70 abolish the
"Plucking Board" and substitute a
method Of retirement based on the
age. service and demcrit records Of
officers.

BOALT'S CHARGES UNTRUE
Mexican Prisoners Not Shot
by Marines at Vera Cruz.

Washington. July 16.-An exhaustive
investigation OF charges made by Fred
l.. Boalt, an American newspaper cor
respondent. that an American ensign
had applied the claw of fight during
the battle Of Vera Cruz. shooting down
unarmed Mexicans as they ran away,
shows that the charges are without
foundation. and Boalt will be deported
from Vera Cruz.
Boalt's story was that a group Of
Mexican prisoners were turned loose in
the street and told to run. AS they
started American marines opened fire.
If the MeXicans got around the next
corner they were permitted to go free;
otherwise they were killed.
Rear Admiral Badger ordered a court
of inquiry and has reported that
"Boalt's statements were false and that
under no circumstances or at no time
was the so-called law of fight applied
at Vera Cruz by the naval forces of
the United States"
In a statement on the subject the
Acting Secretary of the Navy. Mr..
Roosevelt. says he "is highly gratifed
but not in The least surprised at the
result of the investigation"

Many Of them do not know where they

Not that the Fcderals liked their own
money less. but that they liked ours
more. SO they cleaned up in Ameri-
can gold and left behind millions OF
wales, that are now but paper.
Came the Constitutionalist5 April

void. CONSERVATION reigned in the
city of Monterey. People began to

five Bank Of Mexico bills were given

It's only the business people who

Platforms and Platform Smdshers

PUTTING the matter upon a low and selfish plane,
does 1t pay, politically, to ~repudiate a platform OUT
right or, even indirectly, by disappointing sentiment
due to popular party Interpretation OF such a deliv.
erance? Take several Instances:
Mf#AGleveland was a gold man, and the financial

clearcut gold deliverance, was fashioned to favor

port In the campaign by the assurance coming from
his headquarters, that If elected lie would do "the
fair thing by silver" What he did to silver we all
remember; and it was freely asserted after he had
acted, that If it had been known before election day
what policy Mr.. Cleveland in office would pursue he
would have been defeated. The silver men would
not nave aided in their own destruction. MR.. Bryan

isle had been reckoned a silver man before entering
MI. .Cleveland's cabinet, and Gen.. Hardin. q fellow
kentuckian, had learned his silver lesson of him. It
was easy, therefore, for the silver men to induce

really was a reputation, of the platform. The result
was the defeat Of the Democratic ticket and the sue.

Tue state since the organization Of the Republican

At st. Louis in 1904 there was a sort of juggle
with the financial question, the silver Democrats I'M

Judge Parker was induced to give it a gold tinge by

HQnnQ;S Platform

Fargo Forum: Every voter in North Dakota
should read carefully the platform on which Cover
nor l.. B. Hanna goes before the people as a candi-
date for reelection.
The governor asks for reelection, that he may
have the opportunity to complete certain construct
i've measures which he is working out for the better
ment of North Dakota. He states that it is impossl.
bic to complete the new economic system, which he
originated, in the short time OF two years, but feels
that with two years more he can Garry to a conclu.
sion the business principles which have been inaug-
urated.'
The most important undertaking which the gov.
ernor wishes to finish is the extension of a uniform
system Of accounting and bookkeeping to all the
business of the state. The governor has already
made a start along this line, but the appropriation
was insufficient, and il reelected he will ask the leg
i~slature for funds to complete this work. The gov
ernor's long business training makes him specially
fitted to carry out this important reform. If com
pleted as he has outlined it, North Dakota's business
will be conducted on model lines, an example for the
rest of the nation, and much needless waste and
expense will be eliminated, which will mean a big
saving to taxpayers.
Constructive effort is the keynote of the entire
platform. The governor again urges the Importance
OF a business agent for North Dakota to aid in de-
veloping the states vast resources of Ignite coal,
clay, straw, etc. He would develop a system of good
roads. would build up the immigration of movement,
1avors the consolidation Of rural schools and the up.
building of all the educational institutions, and re-
news the demand for a Farm Credit Land bank.
In closing, the governor states that he has now
practically retired from active business and has the
time to devote to public affairs, and one of his prin-
cipal reasons for wishing 10 continue to serve the
people as governor. is that he sees a great oppor-
tuntty to repay the state and its people for what
North Dakota has done for him. @f "' )
The Forum believes the people of North Dakota
will also see and take advantage of their opportunity
OF retaining at the head of their governmental at-
fairs a man of such marked ability, and of the proved
integrity Of Governor Hanna. -. a..
