comprising the expedition Of agricultural
experts who went to Brazil last October
for the Department of Agriculture and
who travelled to Rio de Janeiro on the
same boat with Col. Theodore Roosevelt,

ment officials consider one of the most
fruitful and successful trips of its kind
ever made.
The expedition went to Brazil to invcs-
hgate the Bahia navel orange, which fur
nished in 1870 the plants from which the
whole orange industry of California has
been developed. They made a trip down
the San Francisco river, and found along
Its banks new fruit, fiber plants and
shade trees A large collection Of seeds
and plants was brought back and will be
| propagated at plant instruction gardens
in Maryland. California and Florida and
will be sent out next fall to experiment
stations in the south
The experts found that although south
eastern Brazil is a new country, It con-
tains many valuable fruits which have
been domesticated.
The observations of the experts will be
made available to the Brazilian govern
ment.

FOR MILITARY PURPOSES.
President Withdraws -Four Tracts of
Public Land in Alaska.

Upon the joint recommendation of Sec
retaries Lane and Garrison. the Presi-
dent, it was announced today, has with
drawn four tracts of public land in Alas
ka for military reservations. The areas
withdrawn are prominent points on nav
igable waters on the Alaskan coast hav-
ing strategic value for the protection OF
coal fields and railroads.
Preparing for rapid development ex-
pected to follow the construction of the
government railroad in Alaska, the Presi-
dent also has withdrawn several tracts
of land which have natural value fol-
townsite purposes. The withdrawn tracts
are so distributed as to provide locali.
ties for settlement along three possible
railway routes. They will be made avail
able to bona fide citizens Of the new
town rather than to land spectators.

POLICE RETIRING BOARD
BEGINS DALEY HEARING
Number of Witnesses Have Been
Summoned on Both Sides.
Counsel's Contention.

The police retiring board. composed of
Inspector Fl. L. Gessford, chairman, and
Capts. George H. Williams and Charles
T. Peck. met at police headquarters this
afternoon to take testimony in the retire
ment proceedings of Capt. John C. Daley
of the ninth precinct.
Charles W. Darr and Julius I. Peyser
appeared as counsel for Capt Daley,
and gave notice that they were ready to
resist the effort to retire their client 1t
is their contention that the slight stroke
of paralysis Capt. Daley suffered several
months ago will not cause a permanent
disability.
A number of witnesses have been sum-
moned on both sides, it is stated and
the hearing probably will not be finished
this afternoon. 1t is probable that the
Commissioners will make several changes
in the police department as soon as the
question of Capt. Daley's retirement is
determined.
The vacancy caused by the death of
Capt. J. T. Hollinberger has not been
filled. and it is probable that Capt.
Byrnes, who is critically ill, will soon
die or be retired. Capt. Byrnes' case
was before the retiring board last week,
and, it is stated. his case will be deter
mined with that of Capt Daley.
