RESIGN FROM N. A. c.
Voluntary Withdrawal Of Mill.
tary instructor Said to Be
Probable Result Of Meeting.

BALTIMORE. Sept. %.-Indications
are that the controversy over the re-
tirement Of Major J. A. Dapray as mill
tary instructor at the Maryland Agri-
cultural College will be settled by the
voluntary withdrawal Of that officer
It was stated today that the major
had asked the War Department to re-
lieve him Of the assignment before yes
terday's meeting Of the board Of trus-
tees. though 1t has since been reported
that he had Withdrawn the request fol-
lowing the vote taken by the board.
While this vote was against the major.
It was pointed out that there was not q
legal majority Of the board 30 voting,
there not being full attendance. The
bylaws require nine votes in such a
case. and there were cast only six
against the major. Tho lack Of . full
attendance was due. 1t is said. to the
unwillingness Of some Of the ex officio
members of the board TO take part In
Agricultural college muses.. which have
been frequent the last few years.
President Patterson is against Ma jor
Dapray. and It is thought that II . full
meeting Of the board could be had the
president would be sustained.
II Governor Colds borough determines
regular. he will send to tho War De-
partment a request that the major be
recalled. and that an officer on the ac-
tive list Of the army be sent to the
college in his stead. The major 10 on

MADE GOOD $3,5Oo STOLEN
 FROM THE GOVERNMENT
Denver Man in His Will Says Money Was Taken in 1863.

Denver, Col, Jan. Limited States District Attorney Harry E. Tedrow has been served with a citation order ing him to appear before Ira c. Roth gerber, county judge. and show cause why the government of the United States is entitled to receive $3, soc from the estate of Rufus (f'Potato'D Clark it was announced today.
 Clark died about four years ago, leaving an estate of more than S100,- GOO. The bulk of the estate was be- queathed to a religious organization for missionary work in Africa One clause of the will, however, was as follows:
 ''I direct my execUtOr to pay to the government of the United States the sum of $3,500, the same being a sum which I knew a man in 1863 to have defrauded the United States. The fact was never reported by me and now feel bound in honor to make good the money"
 The religious organization which re- ceived the larger bequest seeks to pre- vent the payment of the money to the United States, holding that a. beQuest to the government is illegal.
 Clark received his nickname of "Po- tato'' when he sent carload of pota- toes from Colorado to the destitute in Chicago after the fire in the seventies.

PREFERENCE FOR STATE
 ACTION FOR PROHIBITION
Expressed by Secy. Bryan in Letter to
 Prohiki kition Association.

Topeka, Kan, Jan. IA preference for state action for prohibition, at present, rather than an immediate at tempt for national prohibition was t<N pressed in a letter from Secretary Of State Bryan to Elon G. Borton. nh~ tional secretary of the Intercollegiate Prohibition association, read at the closing session of the convention of that organiza ton here tonight.
 In his letter Mr. Bryan said:
 ''In the matter of prohibition l think that, at present the emphasis should be laid cn the contests in the states. In some states the time is ripe for action ard I think it is better to concentrate the forces on these than to spread them over the entire union. However, this is a matter of opInion and relates to the policy of national action at this time rather than to the principles involved.
 The strong vote boiled fn the house a few days ago shows how rapidly sentiment is growing against the sa- loon. In the debate over the amend ment a good deal was said about the doctrine of local government which was irvoked against national prohibition. You need not worry about that, The liquor interests have no more respect for local self govern ment than they have for federal ac- tiOn''
