PRESIDENT STILL WORKS. Roosevelt Sends Sargeut With a Mes- sage to Mitchell. WAS 3TON, Oct. here was one elopment of importance in the coal strike situation to-day. Frank P. Sar- Commissioner of Immigrgtion and for many years chief of the Brotherhood Loecomotive Firemen, had a long inter- w with President Roosevelt to-day and Washington very sodh afterward. t intimated that the interview con- ned the coal strike, but he would not uss the matter. From the fact that ke has always been influential with labor crganizations, it is generally believed that he is entrusted with a message to Presi- dent Mitchell of the Miners’ Union. It is also said that Sargent is to meet Mitchell in Philadelphia and deliver the message 6.— de of the President, urging that the miners | end the strike in the interests of the pub- lc. ‘While many propositions have been un- fer discussion, it'is almost certain that the administration is taking up only one at & time. The present plan is that out- lined in the Assoclated Press dispatches | Baturday and Sunday, and contemplates &n end of the strike by the action of Pres- ident Mitchell and his associates, and a full later.

To-Day Will Not | Take Place. | Accused Head of Institution | to Remain in Office ‘ Indefinitely. Special Dispatch to The Call. GLEN ELLEN, Oct. 6.~Dr. Willilam M. Lawlor's reign as superintendent of tke | State Home for Fecble Minded is by n end. Indeed, there is reason | to believe that he will be permitted to re- main at the head of this institution in- no | means at a efinitely. Developments of the past for- | ty-eight Houbs tend to strengthen:the be- | lief that there i¢ a tucit understanding | among at least three members of the board, constituting 2s they do a majority, indefinitely to postpone action on the ac- ceptance of Dr. Dawson's mitting Dr the home. To the surprise of every one, the meei- | ing of the board of trustees, which was scheduled for to-day. has been put off. | When the board adjourned on Saturday, | after granting the superintendent’s peti- | tion for an investigation of the charges against him, there was a solemn under- standing that it would convene at the home on Tuesday, when Dr. Dawson's bond would be presented and Lawlor would Dbe prepared to produce his wit- nesses to controvert the accusations against him. Now it develops that the meeting has been postponed to the “cali of the chair.” NO REASON FOR DELAY. No substantial reason is vouchsafed for this delay. Walter. Gould, president .ot | {he board, told The Cai ‘correspondent late this afternoon that ne had recefved word that certain membére of the board would_be unable to be at the home on | ‘Tuesday, and, therefore, e had decided | to defer the meeting until such time ag all | of the trustees would be able to attend. | Mr. Leland, one of the trustees, who has shown his unquestioned friendliness for Dr. Lawlor throughout the trouble, said bond, thus per- Lawlor to remain in charge of he did not know why the meeting had [ e been deferred. ‘ “When I came to my office this after- | noon I found a telephone message on my | desk, saying there would be no meeting | to-morrow. This is all T know about the | matter,” said he. ’ That there is some motive far more im- portant than surface happenfngs would | | indicate in canceling to-morrow’s meet- | ing is evident. Dr. Lawlor spent the | greater part of the day in San Francisco conferring with his counsel and getting | his witnesses lined up. He left the city | on the 5 o'clock boat, returning to the home “shortly after 8 o’clock. LAWLOR EXPRESSES SURPRISE. | | | “Yes,” he said, “I have heard there will | \ | | be no meeting to-morrow. It is a great surprise to me, because I had hoped we would be able to go ahead to-morrow. So far as 1 am concerned, I am ready to be- gin my defense immediately. I am more anxious than any cne that this matter should be brought to a close. Most of' my witnesses are on the ground and those | ¢ who are not can be summoned at a mo- ment’s notice. “My fate rests entirely with the five men constituting the home board. It may be that my defense will not satisfy my judges, in which case I, of course, am the loser. But I feel satisfied with my own actions; I know in my heart that I am not gullty of willful crueity to nor criminal neglect of the little tots of the home. This is what I want to show—this | is all T care to prove. I have nothing to conceal. I am perfectly willing that the ‘bunrd shail question any of the attend- ants of the home as to the conduct of the institution under my administration. I | nave made no innovations in the treat- ment of the children. Bad and unruly | children have been placed on a bread- and-water diet—not on a ‘restricted dfet,’ as it was heretofore called. STERN ACTION NECESSARY. “You must bear in mind that there are children in this institution who, apart |from being incorrigible, are moral per- verts. When these inmates commit some atrocious act, as they sometimes do, it Is necegsary in order to maintain order and discipline to put them under some re- | straint, and it is this class of inmates alone that have been restrained. . “There are a few boys in the home growing into young manhood who are thieves and should be confined in the re- | formatory instead of in the home. For | instance, there are four boys confined | here who, if permitted to go undisciplined, would by the influence -of contact make thieves and rogues out of the whole | school.” If you were to give the children of the home a nickel, or anything of value, these little;scamps would get it |from them in some manner—by theft, de. ception or by brute force—within twenty- four hours. “But the men who have been loudest in thelr criticism of my administration can- net see why it is sometimes necessary to | restrain these incorrigible youngsters. 1 who have been at the bome for years— that the treatment of unnfly inmates un- der my regime has been less severe than ugder the ¢dminhtnuon of any of my predeceesofs.” | and mostly only semi-official. expect to show Ly witnesses—attendants |' GRAND ARMY MEN RALLY AT GAPITAL Welcome Invasion of Veterans at Washington.

The ' ceremohles there consisted cf a number of ‘addresses by men of na- tional reputation, the chief speech being delivered by Secretary Hay. For therest the old soldiers busied thcmselves largely in renewing ‘acquaintances of forty years and in manifesting their appreciation of the welcome ‘extended to them by the | capital eity. Of this welcome they found generous evidence o¢n every hand. The vents of the day outside the dedication ceremonies at Camp Roosevelt included a regatta cn the Potomae, an automobile parade, a procession by the Red Men of this city and neighboring cities and camp fires in the evening. ~Commander-in- Chief Torrance and his staff kept open house all day at the Ebbitt House and | received many hundreds of callers.

'The hall was decorated entirely \v(th American flags. T'he ceremonies | were opened by a medley of natriotic airs | played by the United States Marine band, fcllowed by songs, speeches and musie, which stirred the crowd to enthusiasm. To each person enterinz the hall was ypresented. a small American flag® and these were constantly waved by the thou- sands within. the " building when some war-time melody was played or some striking , utterance,delivered. The principal address of che evening was by Commander-in-Chief Torrance of the G. A. R., who congratulated those present on the happiness of the hour and the “unity. of ' thefr Hedirts.

It is a beautiful green sward. The dedication ceremonies were presided over by B. H. Warner, chairman of the Citizens' committee of the District of Columbia, and were large- iy attended by the veterans.and by citi- zens of Washington, including both: la- dies and gentlemen. THe ceremonies took place on an improvised platform, pro- tected from the glare of the evening sun Ly an immense flag placed, on the west side of it. Warner introduced Henry B. McFarland. ofie, of the District Commis- sioners, who made a short speech. McFarland took his seatin themidst of a generous round of applause, which was renewed when John Hay, Secretary of State, arose to speak for the President. Hay read his speech from manuscript, but he spoke so distinctly that his wards were plainly audible to all the vast num- ber present. He was applauded at fre- quent intervals as he proceeded. ‘When the cheers which succeeded l-lny'n speech had subsided, Commnnder-!mblflg( 'Torrance of the &, 'A.

The general in his letter replying to the questfon of Count, Boni de Castellane on’ this subject described M. Pollonais as a “renegade Jew,” and also told the Count he did not admit the latter had any right to judge’lis actions. M. Pollonais then challenged General Percin and they fought with swords néar St. Cloud to-day. The general was lightly wounded in the band. THe dilel occurred on the'estate, of Colonel * Plcquart's - brother-in-law, M. Gaste. /It lasted ;for twenty-five minutes and both men fought vigorously. M.

Peculation Is Rife at Hon- o_litlu. Four Officers Now Facing Charges. Soecial Correspondence of The Call ONOLULU, Sept. 30.—Dar- ing raids have been made on the treasury of the Ter- ritory of Hawall. Follow= ing the announcement that B. Hayward Wright, chief clerk of the Public Works Department, had confessed to a shortage of nearly 38000, came the startling news on Septem- ber 24 that Willlam H. Wright, Treasurer of the Territory, had defaulted in the sum of $17,949 91. This became known shortly after the sailing of the Alameda for San Francisco, and there is but lifile doubt that Wright was carefully concealed om the steamer and got away for the coast. On the next day, September 25, Governo# Dole suspended the Territorial Auditor, Herbert C. Austin, following that offi clal's refusal to accede to’the Executive's request for his resignafion. Charges made against the Auditor are: That he twice attempted to borrow from C. F. Chilljngworth, Deputy High Sheriff, public funds that had beem col- lected as fines and costs; that he has oa many occaslons passed valueless checks, knowing that he had no momy In the bank upon which they were drawrn, one of such checks being for upward of $1700, in- favor of the Registrar of Public Ac- counts; that he has from time to time borrowed money from B. H. Wright, chiet clerk of the Public Works, once as much as ${60, knowing that the same was taken from the public funds; that he has, to a great extent, neglected to audit the accounts of Territorial officials through- out the Territory. Next came the suspension of a clerk in the Tax. Office, M. C. Amano, on tha charge of two Chinese that they had paid their taxes to him. Secretary of the Territory Henry E. Cooper has been placed in charge of the Treasury Department. Deputy Auditor Henry C. Meyers has been appointed to take charge of the Auditor's office. eI Nk CONFESSES TO COOPER. Treasurer Wright Admits Big Skorte age and Then Flees. HONOLULU, Sept. 30.—Treasurer of the Territory Willlam Haywood Wright confessed to Secretary Cooper on Tues- day, September 23, that he had appro= priated to his own uses the sum of als most $18,000 belonging to the Territory. He promised to make restitution on the tollowing day and the matter was promptly . brought to the attention of Goverrior Dole. Wright was allowed to go free and on the following day he did not put in an appearance at his office. He was seen, however, on the water front carly in the morning and witnesses de- clare that he went on board the Ala- meda through a freight port hole at 1t a m. He has not been seen since. The matter was placed in the hands of the police and the Alameda was detained for an hour while High Sheriff Brown and Captain‘Harry Flint made a search of the steamef, Flint going outside the har- bor and returning to port in an opem boat. Nothing was seen, however, of the missing Treasurer and it is the gen- eral opinion that he was helped to escape. Secretary Cooper was placed in charge «f Wright's office as acting Treasurer of the Territory and began an examination ct his books. These were found to be absolutely correct ,with the exception of four. cents. The money which the miss- ing Treasurer took was from the Chi- nese funds on special depcsit with Treas- urer Wright. These funds had been de- posited with the Govérnment prior to an- nexation by the sugar planters and In- sured the return to China of laborers brought here under contract. This money hed all been deposited with the First Na. tional Bank, but about a year ago It was turned over to the treasury by order of Cooper, who was then acting Governor. 1+ was kept in the treasury safe, but in a box to which Mr. Wright alone had the key. . This_ deposit should have amounted to $29,59171, but on unlocking the box it was found'to contain only $11,601 80, leaving a shortage of $§17,949 91. Treasurer Wright was not under bonds, as the Registrar of the Treasurer is sup- posed to be the only official who han- dles funds or public morey. ) In case Wright did not make his es- cape on the Alameda it was thought that he might attempt to get away for the mainland on the steamer China, whicn left -here September 25. Detectives searched every hole and corner of the Pacific Mail liner without avail and in- spectors were placed: all along the doek ond at the top and bottom of the steam- er's gangplank. There are a few tha¢ think. ‘Wright has not ye* left the Ter- ritory and is kept In hiding by his friendg urtil a suitabl. opportunity offers for kim to leave in safety.
