It is safe to say that not one of the employes, from the highest to the low- est, declined the invitation which was sent around to all the bureaus to call at the stant secretary's office and say gool- to Mr. Roosevelt. There were many expressions of regret at his departure, and the whole affair was lacking in that per- functory character which so often attaches to ceremonies of the kind.

These were the Merrit and Chapman wrecking company and the Bos- ton Tow Boat company. The department settled their claims for an aggregate of $50,000 which is about one-half of the ap- Propriation made by Congress for the work of wrecking. Up to the time when the work of wrecking was stopped by the outbreak of war and the wrecking boats were ordered home, the contractors had recovered a good deal of government property including five 6-inch rifles which alone are worth more than the amount of money paid to the contractors.

TO TRY DOWNING Sa EVIDENCE GORSHDERED CONVINCING What Chief Wilkie of ihe Secret Service Says. A WOMAN’S INFLUENCE The official recommendatieg for the trial of George Downing, alias Henry Rawlings, by court-martial, for the alleged crime of conspiring against the government, was re- ceived by Adjutant General Corbin today. The uspal plan of procedure in such cases is for the judge advocate general to look into the evidence against the prisoner, and make the recommendation as to whether in his opinion the case warrants trial or not. This has been done by General Lieber, and the court-martial will be proceeded with, Adjutant General Corbin told a Star reporter, at the earliest opportunity af- forded. There is so much to be done at present, all of the officials being so busy, but it will most likely begin in a few days. It is thought perhaps Monday will be se- lected as the opening day of the court- martial. Washington barracks, where the prisoner is confined,will be the place for the trial. How many officers can be spared to participate in it cannot be definitely stated at present, there being such a small num- ber available for this purpose, owing to their duties calling them in other direc- tions. In courts-martial any number from five to thirteen can be used, according to the rules laid down in such’ instances. Every particle of evidence is gone over with most carefully. “It is thought that the evidence against the prisoner is of such a nature to convict him beyond any manner of doubt. The Two Charges. There are two charges against Downing, which have been already prepared, and others may follow, it was declared this morning. The first of the two made out is that the prisoner acted in the capacity of a spy, this country being engaged in war with Spain, obtaining information re- garding the military and naval operations of the United States and endeavoring t communicate the same to the enem through the medium of a certain person in Montreal, for the purpose of aiding the Spanish government in its hostile oper: tions against the United States. This sec- tion provides that all persons who in time of war or of rebellion against the supreme authority of the United States shall be found lurking or acting as spies in or about any of the fortifications, posts, quarters or encampments of any of the armies of the United States, or elsewhere, shall be tried by a general court-martial or by a military commission, and shall, upon conviction thereof, suffer death. The second count in the specifications {s practically the same as the first, with the exception that it does not state that Downing endeavored to im- part his information to. the enemy, but states that he did communicate with a cer- tain person in Teronto information regard- ing the operations 9f therarmy and navy of the United States, to be used by Spain in time of war against thfs government. When the testimony {s finished in a court- martial, the whole is reviewed by the ad- vocate general and a decision rendered. If the prisoner should be found guilty, as it is expected, it is most probable he will not he hung, but be shot, a military authority stated this morning; as this is deemed the proper method of execution in the present State of affairs. A Young Woman. The old French adage, “‘Cherchez La Femme,” was observed by the secret ser ice bureau in their work of securing ev dence against Downing. It was learned al- mest as soon as he wes suspected that he had been in the habit of visiting a your woman connected with the Spanish le; tion here. He had been seen with her, was thought to be greatly in love ‘with her. Her Spanish appearance was very marked, and when the man was suspected this fact was remembered by a clever at- tache of the bureau. It is undoubtedly the case that it through her Downing was induced to a in the position of spy against this country. It was through her that Downing met Lieut. Carranzas, formerly of the Spanish legation here. It is certain that the man called on her at the legation here after his disckarge from the Erooklyn. She prob- ably persuaded him to try to secure infor- mation to put in the Spanish hands. It is believed that she wrote Downing here to come to Canada to make still further ar- Tangements as to the work of betraying the plans of this government. She is in Canada now with the legation, it was de- clered to The Star reporter this morning. Nearly all the newspaper men who have had occasion to visit the legation when De Lome was minister remember the woman, who frequently opened the door when they called. She was tail, and dark, spoke Eng- lish perfectly, and ‘was attractive in her manners. She evidently made him the in- strument by which he could become most useful to the Spanish government. It is not belleved ehe felt the least affection for him. What Chief Wilkie Says. Chief Wilkie of the secret service bureau said this morning that he had nothing to give out about the case. He said further that nothing would be given out for publi; cation from the bureau at any time. H® declared if the operations of the sectet service bureau are to be under the jurisdic- tion of Assistant Secretary of War Meikle- john he had not been notified officialiy of the fact. He did not doubt the veracity cf the statement to this effect which ap- peared in The Star of*yesterday, but seem- ed greatly interested as to where the in- formation had been obtained “I was talking to Assistant Secretary Meiklejohn this morning,” he said, “and he told me nothing of the matter.” As it rests row it is in the hands of the assist- ant secretary of war. Of course the secret service bureau is doing all in its power to secure any further eviden:e against the prisoner which may be pessib'e or nec2s- sary for Downing's conviction. The prisoner is still guarded as ciosely as ever in the steel cage at the Washing- ton barracks, no one, not even the guards, being allowed to converse with him. They keep lim in sight constantly, however. It is said he appears moody and despondent, as if he realized that he was in a bad predicament. One of the most interesting chapters so far invthe story of his suspect and capture is that all of his movements were followed closely by the seeret service people, a mem- ber of the service ;qccompanying him on the trip to Toronto. ,, While in that city the Secret service officer was enabled to over- ear, in some mannér not revealed, a con- versation between Downifig and one of the Spanish legation, which was sufficient to re- veal his mission andyincriminate him fully Th2 testimony of this may, It Is considered, will ke the most ppwerful to be brought against him. 8 He Made reatn. An Associated Press dispatch from the Brooklyn, off Fort Monrog, on which Down- ing was yeoman, states that he was known to make threats. He asked for his dis- charge, as he was notified he was obnoxious to the men. On the discharge was written, “Not recommended Yor rée-enlistment.” He declared when he left the ship he said he would make it warm fox the entire navy. Four days after this he wrote a letter to Paymaster’s Clerk ncotk, who gave him his discharge, in which he repeated the threat. When on te» Brooklyn he was gathering information: He asked frequent questions about coal supplies and the des- tination of colliers engaged by the depart- ment. nd FINANCIAL.

QUITABLE CO-OPERATIVE BuiLpina ASSOCIATION. ‘THE SUREST WAY TO SECURE A HOTIE. The plan of securing a home through the Equitable is not well understood by those not members. Most people do not realize and take advantage of the opportunities that are open to them. Thous- ands of loans have been made by this Association to buy and build homes, the majority of which have been repaid and settled in full. In the 18 1-2 years the EQUITABLE has been doing business The loans amount to......... The loans repaid and settled $8,363.400.00 -$7,104,932.76 This shows the large amount of loans made to members, and the large amount of which they have repaid. For those who have not saved a fund to make the first pay- ment on property, the course to take in the Association is to sub- scribe for as many shares as they can pay upon regularly every month. When these savings, with the profits, have accumulated suffi- ciently to make a payment on a house, a selection and purchase can be made. The Association will yalue the property, have the title examined, see that the papers are correct, and loan or advance the balance to pay in full. This is not a venturesome way to pursue, but the certain and safest way, and the best way for people to succeed. In cases where a fund has already been accumulated, property can be purchased at once through the Equitable. The loan is repaid in 87 monthly installments, at the lowest cur- rent rate of interest. It can be repaid in a shorter period, in full or in part, at any time. This cannot be done, as a rule, with a loan made for a term of years elsewhere. Although the borrower has money in hand, he must wait until the note matures. Every opportunity is giv- en the borrowers in the Association to pay for their property. No better terms can be obtained upon which to borrow money. SAVING WITH THE BEST RESULTS. There have been issued 94,857 shares to 29,918 shareholders Upon these shares There have been paid... .............. .$5,908,853.03 Of which there have been returned to members ... cote tee ee eee ee eee $4,669, 196.26 With profits paid to them amounting to.. $424,475.09 In these figures is furnished the best evidence of the success of the co-operative method of saving, acquiring homes and the benefits derived therefrom. It is systematic—it is a discipline in saving, be- comes a habit—promotes and insures thrift, and finally the owner- ship of property and a comfortable independence. The attainment of such a condition is within the reach of most people who have regular employment and income. Statistics tell us that 95 per cent of elderly people are dependent upon others for their daily support. A sad situation indeed. In the great majority of these cases un- doubtedly it was unnecessary and could have been avoided. This percentage of elderly people’s dependence is almost entirely reversed in the membership, of any length of standing, in the Equitable, which is as true in fact as in the statement. The Equitable is a purely co-operative saving and loaning as- sociation, conducted as such to bring the greatest benefits to its membership. Its practical success as a co-operative association, in the 18 years and 6 months it has been doing business, is clearly dem- onstrated and firmly established. Further information concerning the Association, how to pro- ceed, etc., will be cheerfully furnished by the officers.
