Benjamin, recently appointed minister resident and consul general of the United St tes to Persia, has given an tateresting account of his Journey to ‘Teheran and the ceremonies attending his offictal resentation to the shah, Mr. Benjamin being the rst diplomitic representative of this government accredited to that of his majesty. A Navat Orricer called the attention of a Stan reporter to a paragraph in THE Star of last week, in which an army officer asserts that duplication of pay accounts 1s ascommon in the navy as in the army. The officer sald: ‘The thing is absurd on the face of ft, ag it ts Impossible for a navy officer to duplicate his pay. An ofticer’s pay 1s obtained from his paymaster at the end of the month, and is not due before. It is pald only to the officer, and if an order Is issued by the officer it Is taken at She same risk that a check given by & person who has nothing on deposit in te bank. In the army an order on the pay is good for two or three months ahead.” IN THE MATTER OF THE AUTHORITY of an agent: ‘who, by virtue of a power of substitution, has ap- pointed a substitute, Vontrolier Lawrence to-day Tendered a decision. The matter came up ona question from the auditor of the District to know whether’a. L, Barber, who held a_ power of an at- torney from the Barber Asphalt Paving company, and had appointed Mr. Paul his substirute, could endorse ani collect for the company any draft or check drawn by the District Commis-lonera. ‘The controller decides that un‘er the orlzin +] and sub- stitute powcr of attorney in this case the substi- tute can uct, but rot the original agent, The powers of the original agent h Ve ce ised, and the substitute alone can act. When an agent dele- gates bis power co a substitute, they no longer exist in the agent.
