I3y direction of the president,
Rear Admiral W. 13. Harry, former
commander in chief of the Paciilc
fleet, today submitted his resignation
"for the good of the service." It
"was immediately accepted. The enforced
resignation is the outgrowth
of charges which have been in cirulation
affecting the moral chaVac1
( ter of the naval officer.
George Von L. Meyer, secretary of
the navy, today announced that on
instructions from the president he
telegrahped last night to Admiral
Barry asking that he submit his resignation.
The resignation severing
the officer's connection with the
American navy after 4 5 years of active
service was received today and
his name was at once stricken from
the list of naval ofllcers. This act
naturally terminated his salary from
the government.
In response to a telegraphic request,
Admiral 13errv was placed on
the retired list of the mtvy on January

retired by operation of law. Ilia
right to seek voluntary retirement
was his privilege, the Law permitting
such action after 4 0 years' active
service.
The secretary of the navy took up
the request with the president and
it was promptly approved.
"Later, however, reports began to
emanate from San Francisco to the
effect that Admiral Harry's retirement
was forced by a demand that
he resign on account of alleged scandalous
conduct. It. was added that
the officers of the cruiser West Virginia,
Admiral Barry's flagship, were
not satisfied with retirement but insisted
upon his resignation.
The secretary of the navy took
cognizance of the reports and called
upon Capt. Orchard for a report.
Capt. Orchard's report was received
several days ago when it was submitted
to <he president and the enforced
resignation of the officer followed

losses. Jose de La Cruz Sanchez
and Toriloio Oroga, Mexican ranch

TRIED TO BRIBE
New York Newspapers to Support the
Ocean Slip Subsidy Scheme.
?
WHEN OFFER WAS MADE
The Husinesu Manager of the Journal
of Commerce Claims that He
Was Approached by Ship Huilders,
Who Made Improper Proposals to
Him.
Revelation of several attempts to
buy the editorial support of the New
York Journal of Commerce in favor
of ship subsidy legislation, which
that paper has consistently opposed,
was made iu Washington to the
hause ship subsidy investigating
committee Wednesday by Alfred W.
Dodswortli, business manager of The
Journal of Commerce and Commercial
Bulletin,
Earlier in the day Paul G. Faunler,
representative of the Uranium
Steamship line, against which the
so-called London conference lines,
controlling what is alleged to be 98
!>er cent, of the Atlantic passenger
trade are arrayed,. told how railroad
authorities in this country, notably
th* Central I'assifflsrer association at
Chicago, had refused to sell tickets
routed over the independent lines
unless the independents obtained the
sanction of the conference lines.
As a result of today's evidence Mr.
bodsworlh's brother, John VV. bodsworth,
the editor of The Journal of
Commerce, will be* recalled to Washington
to explain why he failed to
enlighten t li<* committee during his
recent testimony. It is probably that
Charles A. Conant of New York, a
former Washington correspondent,
may be asked to throw light on an
effort, to subsidize the paper, claimed
to have beer, forwarded through him
to The Journal of Commerce, which
lie then represented, and the federal
authorities may take notice of the
evidence as to the railroads' discrim
inations, against the independent
steamship lines on foreign tickets.
Alfred W. DodsWorth said that his
paper never had been subsidized by
any interests whatever and its business
and editorial columns had no
relation, but, he testified, about six
years ago an unknown came into his
I office and offered to pay The Journal
of Commerce $100,000, taking
1,000,000 copies of his paper, for the
insertion of an article in one issue
supporting the ship subsidy legislation.
This man refused to disclose his
identity unless his proposition was to
he accepted. His proposition was, in
the event of aoeoniancc. to make out
a certified check immediately for
$10,000 to bind the agreement and
to pay the balance of $90,000 upon
publication of the article. Mr. nodsworth
said iie immediately called his
brother, John W., into his oflice as
i witness to the conversation and th??
proposition was turned down as an
?ttempt to make an improper a>rangonient.
Pressed by the committee, Mr.
Hods worth said that about 3 0 years
ago his father was sitting in his office
on the same publication and John
Koch, the ship-builder, who was then
building; ships and was active for t
[ship subsidy bill, entered the office,
laid down a blank check, asked Podsworth
to fill out the check an I stop
writing; against ship subsidy " lie
offer was refused.
About two years ago, Dodsworth
said, another man tried to buy the
support of the paper for $4 0,000 and
during the .Spanish-American war the
Spanish government tried to buy the
paper's support.
Mr. Olcot.t, Representative Pongworth
of Ohio and other members of
' ' - ...... ...ill nn Hi.it t lir. ( wn
IMP I UIIIII1U ICl- I I H IV, I TV V, , .vv, ?
brothers for failing to submit this
information to the committee before
now, pointing out that John W.
Dodsworth, in his testimony some
time ago, had been asked as to such
matters and had denied any information
such as that disclosed today.
The witness said the committee
would have to ask the brother why
lie failed to disclose the information.
Mr. Olcott asked the witness who
represented the Spanish government
when it tried to buy bis paper's support.
Mr. Dodsworth replied that
the information of the proposition
came from Charles A. Conant, who
was then the paper's Washington correspondent..
Pressed as to the identity
of the man who made the offer,
Mr. Dodsworth said that ills father
or brother may have been iold, but
he himself had not been told.
Mr. Conant communicated the
proposition in a lei tor, said the witness,
who afterward qualified this by
saying ho thought it was a letter, after
the committee had stated it would
like to have the letter. Representative
Hawley of Oregon asked how
much money was proposed in that
offer and the witness said he did not
know. His father was then managing
editor.
The $-10,000 proposition was from
a "tall, dark-haired man," who said
he was a lobbyist in Washington.
Mr. Dodsworth said he could not
undertake 'o name the persons who
made the $100,000 offer but he believed
it came from ship subsidy Intereets
and when pressed as to what
he meant by that he mentioned the

Measure to Limit College's Share of
Kovciine Ernin Tair Tax Killed 1?v
Vote of Hi to 121.
In the House Friday Mr. Mitchum
made a Ions and hard fight to limit
the income of Olemson College from
(he privilege tax.
Mr. Cary, of Oconee, opposed any
interference with (he resources of
Olemson College. lie criticised the
report of (ho legislative committee
that investigated (he Stat*1 colleges.
Mr. Mitchum insisted that Olemson
was spending too much money.
JM r. Cary said Olemson was not
standing still and needed money for
extensions and growth. If Olemson
is to stand still then they need 110
i more than $1 75,000, but they should
he allowed to grow. There were
things at Olemson he did not like,
hut this bill would do 110 good. Let
things alone.
Mr. Ashley said he was against
Olemson getting so much money, hut
he visited Olemson and had his eyes
opened and was in favor of Olemson
getting all this 11101103'. If anything
is to he done let the tax lie reduced,
but he urved that. Olemson he left
\
entirely alone. Tie wanted Olemson
left alone this year.
Mr. McKeown, of Chester, said
something of this kind came up every
year. Me, too, thought it unfortunate
that the legislative report
should come in today' and he, too,
criticised the composition of the
committee?all lawyers. There was
110 use to talk about, crippling Olemson,
and he agreed with 'Mr. Ashley
that if the tax were too high let tho
tax ho reduced.
Mr. Ayer wanted to Know it Clemson
wore a Stale institution or not,
aiul whether the tax is constitutional.
Clemson ought to be supported
as others are by direct appropriation.
Ho suggested that all bills on the
privilege tax be taken up together.
This was denied.
. Mr. MeOravoy knew the good
Clemson was doing. Tie feared Mr.
Mitchutn had not gone Into the legal
phase of the question. There is no
use to bother the privilege tax. lie
found that those who wanted to have
such bills had blood in their eyes for
Clemson.
Mr. Vander TTorst spoke for the
legislative investigating committee,
lie explained that the delay in submitting
the report, was purely unavoidable.
and as everyone knew,
without intention to influence anyone.
The fact that he and others
were lawyers was a fact and hardly
worth discussing, but he would liko
to argue any question or point made
in the report.
On a yea and nay vote the bill to
limit tbe income of Clemson from
the privilege tax to $1 75,000 was
killed bv a vote of 7.1 to 24.
