He was out of his tent at an early hour and walked about the company streets in the rear of the line, and around the camp closely inspecting conditions and the men who were performing duties.

New Haven Police Discover Negro
 Is Clothed As Woman. ~s

New Haven, July 16.-The police of this city today admitted that oc- casionally they get a surprise. Chief Smith also thinks that the surprise comes with the revealing of actuaI facts and in this he further believes that his force has the advantage over police in other cities. For instance, in a case in. the. city court today he pointed to the fact that the Bridge port police. did not discover what his men did. Last night a patrolman saw two colored women acting sus- piciously in the college section. He followed them, and when they ran he also ran, arrested the couple ana took them to the station.
 There it was found that one, was Orme Wilson, of Brooklyn, a male, in womans clothes, and the other. Rose Davis, of Boston, was a real .wom9n,i Wilson acted the Iart- well, and he was regarded as a woman by the court officials. He had gentle voice which went we'll with the make up. Wilson, with glee, said he was convicted in Bridgeport and served in the jail there for eight months as a woman and did the cooking. Wilson and the Davis woman are held on suspicion of larceny from the person. Numerous complaints have been made by citizens that they had been stopped by two colored women who engaged them in small talk. ending by one of them playing the part or highwayman.

DON'T APPRECIATE MUSIC. Neighbors Object Because When Wifey Is Away Hubby Will Play.

Residents of the south end of Fairview street have been much dis turbed of recent evenings and late into the night by someone who evil dently hopes to eventually become a musician. It is said that the party referred to is practicing on the flute and has a friend who joins in the symphony, scraping away on a violin. Between them some fancy tunes are served out to the unappreciative neighbors, lasting until 1 o'clock in the morning sometimes.
 It Is said that if these impromptu concerts continue some of the resi- dents of the immediate vicinity are thinking of taking up a collection and from their tone it is expected that the same will consist of over-ripe eggs or decayed fruit. The understanding is that the performers wife is away on vacation

INVESTIGATE WORK
 OF "PlUck|Nc' BOARD
Il u}s ub-ssommlttet Summons Rear AdmTd to Testify.

Washington July 16.-Operations of the dreaded naval 'pluckins' board, which annually orders the compulsory retirement of many high officers in the navy, were to be gone into today by a subcommittee of the house naval committee. Rear Admiral Knight, wf,o~as head of tfte "plucking" board recently retired from active service Captain John Gibbons, com mander of the battleship Utah, has Leen summoned to testify.
 Numerous naval officers recently re- tired by the board have appealed to members of congress in ain effort to have their cases reopened with . view to restoration to active service. Friends of Captain Gibbons in and out Of congress have protested that his "plucking" was unfair to him and to the naval service.
 Other Cases Pending.
 Other cases are in prospect. The naval committees of the senate and house already have voted to report 6 bill restoring Captain Templin M. Potts.
 A report is ready to be filed in the house from the naval committee in- sisting upon restoration of Commo- dore T. E.. Dewitt Veder, retired four years ago. He commanded the spe- cial service squadron in the Spanish American war and contends that his performance then was not presented to the plucking board and that it should have justified his promotion. to rear admiral. His friends contend
 l. IA l-~- = claimed he was overbearing in the service.
 Flow of Promotions. ..
 Captain Potts has testified before the house naval committee that naval officers generally approve the pluck ing' system as a means of creating a. flow of promotions, that past selec- tions have generally been approved by officers, but that whether the rea- sons were good in each case was an. other question. He said he had been detached for shore duty after ten months as captain and then the de- partment raised the question of in- sufficient sea service. 7
 Captain Potts had been governor ef Guam, commanding the cruiser Des Moines, and later was captain of the bsttleship Louisiana. He said he was slated for rear admiral. but Secretary Daniels declared that ten months 3as captain was not enough. @ap

 Mine Work Resumed.
 For a month past American work men employed by foreign owned mines and other enterprises have been struggling into the interior in small groups. Many were forced to go via Puerta Mexico because of the American governments orders that only Americans having urgent busi- ness be permitted to enter via. Vera Cruz. Reports from the interior re- gently have indicated a gradual re- sumption of work in the various min- ing camps and officials of several com ranies here have received word that their plants are nearly in full opera tion.
 Victory for Wilson.
 London, July 16.-The resignation of General Huerta of the provisional presidency of Mexico is regarded as g., victory for President Wilson's poll icy and is welcomed by the British public and by official circles here as "a possible solution of the Mexican nroblem. A peaceful end to the com- plex situation is greatly desired here on account of the large British finan- cial interests in the country.
 Most of the London newspapers, however, express doubt as to whether conditions will be better under Venus tiano Carranza than when General Huerta was in power in Mexico City.
 Benton Murder Recalled.
 .rSIS, that ''n Francisco Carbajal, the new. provisional president, surrenders to General Carranza, as he is expected to do, it may soon be possible to exact reparation from Gen. Villa for the murder at Juarez of Wm. s. Benton, the Scottish rancher.''
 The Evening Standard says: "The Washington administration has won diplomatic victory. President Wilson has been persistent and pa tient in his policy of non-recogni- tfon of General Huerta but it is likely enough he will be met now by other obstacles just as hard to sur mount as was General Huerta's ob- stinacy"
 Warned By Experience.
 The Globe takes much the same view, saying: The elimination of General Huerta is triumph for President Wilson but it may be assumed that his difficulties and anxieties are by no means over There is no reason to suppose that the real opinions of the Mexican peo- pie will have more opportunity to as- sert themselves under General Car ranza than they had under General Huerta.
 The United States, however, hsa been warned by experience not to in Quire too closely nor to expect too much"
 Junta Being Formed.
 San Antonio, July 16.-Reports that junta was being formed in Ell Paso in the interests of Felix Diaz were being discussed unoff1cially by army officers here today. The plan, it Was said, was to start a counter-revolu- tion against Carranza and Villa, and secure aid of Huerta irregulars.
