CALL BUREAU, HOTEL BARTON, WASHINGTON, April 21.—Orders were sent to-day to Lieutenant David F. Boyd, U. S. N, at New Orleans, to enlist twenty negroes as third class mess attendants and to send them to the receiving ship Franklin at Nor- folk. This is the outcome of the report published yesterday that Lieutenant | Boyd informed twenty negroes that no more of their race would be accepted in the United States navy. The Bu- reau of Navigation, hearing of this, an- nounced that there was no color line in the naval service, and Lieutenant Boyd was asked by telegraph to send a statement regarding nis action. A telegram was received from him to-day. It was not altogether satis- factory and has not been made public. Rear Admiral Taylor, chief of the Bureau of Navigation, took the offi- cer's reply to Secretary Moody, who now has it. The question of the enlistment of negroes gn the navy is a rather pecu- liar one. No color line is drawn offi- cially. The officers on recruiting duty. however, do not enlist many negroes as landsmen. They are accepted al- most exclusively for service as mess attendants. CAPTAIN HEALY IN THE TOILS “Klondike King,” Hero of a Number of Court Cases, Is | Arrested for Grand Larceny Speclal Dispatch to The Call. | CHICAGO. April 21 “aptain John J. Healy. “Klondike King.” million- | afre mine owner and pioneer Alaska | gold field exploiter, whose sensational | divorce case brought him into local prominence a few months ago. was ar- rested to-day and charged with grand larceny. The arrest was made on the receipt of a telegram from New York, to which city, Captain Healy asserts, |he was hastening to answer the charge, having been notified by Attor- ney J. Hamilton Lewis. The weaithy defendant was released on a bond of $2500 by Justice Prindiville, although hundreds of thousands of dollars are said, to be involved in the case. The picturesque ‘“captain,” who won his title by serving as Sheriff of a North Dalkota county. has been much in the public eye through his connection with the gold fields, his dramatic. divorce case, his being de- posed from the presidency of the Alaska Exploration Company, and fin- ally his arrest on charges preferred by members of the company. “When 1 left New York a short time ago 1 filled the office of presidént of the ADVERTISEMENTS.

CALL BUREAU, HOTEL BARTO: WASHINGTON, April 21.—“It is said that a cantilever crane and d¢her heavy equipment will be neces- sary before we may begin the work of building our big collier for the navy at Mare Island yard, but I have to say that it is not true,” said Senator Per- kins to-day. “These tools become necessary in course of the construction, to be sure, but they are not wanted for a long | time. By the time they are wanted they may be in place, but the fact 18 the work on the ship may be begun at once, and so it will be. I consider this act one of the most important of the present session for the Pacific Coast. At Mare Island there is a big colony of highly skilled mechanics, who are residents of Vallejo. Lately the work in the navy yards has been slack, and this movement is inténded to give them steady employment.” Representative Bell. who first pro- posed the measure in the House, is highly pleased at his success. “Work can be done as well and more cheaply in a navy yard than by private con- cern,” he said to-day. ‘“This move- ment will develop into a policy of the Government and we will arrange for battleships being built at Mare Island. It will afford Government protection against the exactions of private con- cerns and will demonstrate just how cheaply this work may be done, so that the Government will not be at the mercy of contracting shipbuilders. Tt will necessitate equipping and strength- ening the navy yards, but that is a thing to be decided In any case.” _————————— Apoplexy Ends Pound’s Life. LOCKPORT, N. Y., April 2L.—John E. Pound, United States Commissioner and former chief regent of the Royal Arcanum of the United States, died to- day, the result of a stroke of apoplexy, aged 62 years. R — - Alaska Exploration Company,” said Captain Healy. “'Since that time I have learned that a Pennsylvania business man has been promoted to fill my place. His name is Dr. Wilcoxson, and he was jailed in Chicago a short time ago. What his connection with this charge is 1 do not know, but I shall certainly return to New York and fight the case.” “There is only one case that could have caused the charge which Healy is now asked to answef,” said Attorney Lewis. “That is the suit regarding some property in Yukutat, Alaska, which he purchased for $8000. He made the purchase as president of the Alaska Exploration Company. The directors quarreled among themselves regarding the purchase, declaring that it was worth only $5000. In New York a pres- ident of a corporation can legally be arrested for the larceny of any sum of money which is the difference between the sum of money paid for a piece of property and its actual value. It seems to me that the directors of the com- pany are taking advantage of that law."” i i SENATE BILLS WIN APPROVAL Solons Pass Pension Measure and Appropriate Money for the Rivers and Harbors —_— CALENDAR ABOUT CLEAN ————— | Aetion of the National Body Provides for Expenditure of More Than $140,000,000 —_— WASHINGTON, April 21.—The pen- sion appropriation bill, carrying an ap- propriation of more than $137,000,000, and the emergency river and harbor appropriation bill, which carries $3,000,- 000, were passed to-day by the Senate, leaving only the general deficiency and the military academy bills of the en- tire list of supply measures still to be considered by the Senate. While the river and Harbor measure was under consideration Gorman sharply criticized the failure to bring imya general river and harbor bill. McCumber expressed the opinion that the time was approaching for the en- actment of a general service pension law. In this connection he referred to previous service pension laws, and in- cidentally mentioned the fact that there were still living about 600 sons ahd daughters of soldiers of the revo- lutionary war. McCumber also discussed the recent executive pension order, contending that it was in harmony with the laws making pensioners dependent upon physical disability. ‘When the emergency river and har- bor appropriation bill was taken up, Gorman asked why no general river and harbor bill was to passed at the present session. Mr. ElKins, in charge of the bill, replied that the judgment of the Committee on Commerce, which had reported the bill, had been that a general bill could not be passed And that the state of the Treasury and pub- lic business would not justify such a measure. There was a controversy between Al- drich and Gorman, the latter charging the Republicans with a determination to force an early adjournment for po- litical purposes and Aldrich asserting that Gorman could discuss public ques- tions as long as he chose. ————————— FAVORS THE AMENDMENT OF BEPREDATION House Committee Authorizes Affirma- tive Report on Measure Legaliz- ing Indian Claims. WASHINGTON, April 21. — The House Committee on Indian Affairs io- day by a vote of 9 to 6 authorized a favorable report on the bill amending the Indian depredation act by striking from it the word “amity” and making it apply to residents of the United States, regardless of citizenship. A minority report will be made by Chair- man Sherman and signed by Repre- sentatives Curtis, Knapp, Fitzgerald and Zenor. The bill will legalize claims for In- dian depredations, heretofore barred under the law because the Indians committing . the damage were at “amity” with the United States at the time. It also allows claims by persons other than citizens of the United States, heretofore barred by the law. —_———————— ‘Wolt Fleisher Dies Suddenly.

When pressed too closely he answered that he could not remember. The commitlee adjourned until to-morrow.
