Outlines the Charges.

Mr.. Daniels statement as 10 the
offenses alleged against the five
officers follows:
Benjamin $. Davis was on duty at
the enrolling office. 54 Chambers
street. New York city, and in conuec-
-tion with his work as medical ex-
smincr. ii is alleged. ne received on
numerous occasions sums of money
and presents for enrolling men in the
naval service, some Of whom were
physically defective and whose de-
fects required waiver before enroll
ment. the total amount of money
received by him is believed TO he
$4,000, large percentage of which
was passed on to one or more other
officers who were engaged with him
in this money-making scheme.
Lieut.. Davis was tried by court
martial at the navy yard. New York,
in July, 1918, was convicted and
sentenced To be dismissed from the
naval service and to be imprisoned
for three years. 4 review of his cas-
by the department gave rise to the
belief that others were implicated
and the investigation now under way
was ordered. AS a result of the in
vestigation the department is in pos
session of facts indicating that there
were many other offenses committed
by DR.. Davis in addition to those
on which he was brought to trial.
The evidence also shows that he was
not working alone in the matter.

Albuquerque, N. NJ, Oct. 1o.-The
Pale Face Chief of the Belgians
visited a gray haired, sWarthy chief
of the Navajos at Gallup today.
They shook hands gravely and each
showed his respect for the other.
The aged Indian bore himself with
a dignity equal to that of the king.
There was no condescension in Al
bert's manner and no humility in
that OF the redskin. ..
The sun had not yet banished
the chill of dawn when -the royal
party stopped in the New Mexican
village of Gallup, but there was
crowd of several hundred at the
station. Many of them had ridden q
score of miles to greet the Belgians.
As the train stopped, the band Of
St. Michael's Indian school swung
into the strains of the Belgian ma
tional anthem and then that of the
United States.
Braves on Mustangs.
A little band of braves, mounted
on mustangs, sat waiting and watch
ing. their faces expressionless, as
the king ,~queen and prince descend
ed from their car. After one war
dance, his majesty expressed a de-
sire meet some of the Indians
and several of them were presented
to him and his consort. .
Then Chief Silagotio, tribal Judge,
better known as Pete Price, stepped
forward with the gift OF the tribe,
a handsome Navajo blanket, which
he gravely handed to Albert, who in
turn pinned upon the old warriors
breast silver medals of his house.
The grizzled Indian might have
been thinking, as he stood proudly
before the ruler of the Belgians, of
the day when he, too. was the chief
of many fighting men. He was the
last TO surrender to the regulars at
Fort Defiance in the days when Kit
Carson was a guide, and he was
defiant to the end. But once his
parole was given, he kept it.
