WASHINGTON, Jan. l.-aeratary Root,
while appearing before tha house appropria
tions committee In relation to tha expenses
of tha State department, spoke frankly
concerning the shortcomings of tba Amer
ican consular service. Tha statements of
Mr. Root, which have Just been made pub
lic, show that In response to questions by
Representative Livingston, tha secretary
aid:
'There are a great many consulates that
have been In that condition, and there are
some that are still In that condition, and RED SUNDAY WILL BE QUIET
the fact arises from several causes. One 1
cause la that consulates are used and re- Revolutionist ay. Desire of Oovera
garded here not as places Jn which active
and sufficient work la to be done, but are
used as placea In which to shelve estimable
and elderly gentlemen whose friends find
It necessary to take care of them In some
way. (Laughter.)
"Now, I have got old enough to be able
to say that sort of thing without anybody
being offended. I do not think that when
a man has lived out tne activity of his
life and passed beyond his ambition and
hla energy and his desire to make a career
for himself I do not think that then la the
time to start him out tn a new place, where
he has got to learn a new' business and
push the commerce of the country."
The following statements were then made
by Mr. Root In reply to questions of mem
bers of the committee:
Mr. Brundldge I quite agree with you.
Mr. Secretary, as to that, but upon whom
rests the blame for that condition?
Secretary Root It rests upon a long
standing custom, whereby the executive la
expected to appoint to Important consul
ates Important men from - the different
stales.
Mr. Graff But you have a system of ex
amination? Old Mea Make Troable.
Secretary Root Tes, so tar aa the young
fellows go. You can put the screws on
them and make them coma up for examina
tion. But when an eminent citizen
Mr. Livingston An eminent senator or
member of congress?
Secretary Root Yes, when an eminent
ritlirrn rn.f.rwd oannot examine
film tn geography and arithmetic. Ha re
sents It, and there la the dickens to pay
all along. (Laughter.) It is a custom that
has grown up, just like this deficiency cus
tom. When you step into change a custom
you cannot change It by piecemeal; you
have to jar something. Take this con
sular bill which Is now pending. When It
was Introduced it contained a series of
provisions under which the consulates were
in be graded. The original appointments
made were to be only to the lower grades,
und the upper gradea were to be filled by
promotion, so that we would catch fellows
young while they still had some motive
power left in them. These provisions have
been stricken out and the bill reported
without them. Still, the bill makes a great
advance over the present system.
The approaching end of the active work
of the reciprocity bureau was sounded In

The next case for trial Is that of Charles

of Midshipman Bloebaum. by far the
shortest period In any case.

do the "sixteenth." Tla waa reasonably
lire that Jamea bad given the order and

his testimony on this point.

and Isaac N. McClarry. who had been a
witness In the first case against Stephen
Decatur. Jr., both testified trt being he. led
by James.
Edgar N. Caldwell said that Jamea had
hazed him by making him sing songs, stsnd
on his head and do the "sixteenth:" at the
same time, he said. James had abused htm
applying profane and obscene epithets to
him, but no more so thnn was common at
the academy, lie was questioned very
closely by the Judge advocate and members
of the court upon this point and said that
when he had been hated language of the
sort described generally accompanied It. He
mentioned the number of times he had
been haxed J about fifty.
Scott B. McFarland stated that James'
had compelled him to do the "sixteenth"
until he was very tired, but that no very
serious consequences followed. It was
brought out by the judge advocate that a
light would follow a refusal to take haring.
Midshipman V. D. Chaplin of the fourth
class was the last witness for the prosecution.
He said he had gone on his head and done
the '"sixteenth" and the "leaning rest for
Jamea, but that he wras not very tired and
not at all resentful. He said that he did
not do It because he was afraid of anything
but because he had. made up his mind to
take hazing when he came to the Naval
academy, as everybody else had done so.
With some difficulty it waa eleetited from

HOLDUPS HAVE A NIGHT OUT

Youthful robbers plied their trade In
Omaha last night, but with no great profit.
Two young men entered the drug store of
B. Robinson. filS South Sixteenth street, a
few moments after 10 o'clock, and. with
the aid of a revolver, persuaded J. B.
Jackson, who was alone In the store with
his wife, to remain passive while they
secured the contents of the cash register.
People were passing on the sidewalk out
side, but as no noise was made and no one
came into the store, there was no Inter
ference with the work of the robbers.
Securing the money, they hacked up a
few steps and when near the door turned
and passed out, going south on Sixteenth
street.
Mr. Jackson said' "I had not noticed
anyone hanging around the store previ
ous to the holdup, and never saw the young
men before. They wore no masks, and their
features were plainly discernible. Both
of them appeared to be over 10 years of
age. but not over 24.' '
As soon as the robbers had disappeared.
Jackson notified the police, and every avail
able man was sent to watch for suspects.
Mr. Robinson came In soon after the Inci
dent, and. while he was unable to de
termine the exact amount secured by the
robbers, he said thnt he thinks they got
about tTTi. They msde no attempt to molest
either Mr. or Mrs. Jackson further, or
to take anything except what was in the
register.

(From a Staff Correspondent.)
WASHINGTON. Jan. 19-(Ppeclal Tele
gram. )-0 January I Mrs. Salutsky landed
from the City of Philadelphia from a Eu
ropean port and. having developed an af
fection of the eyes, was detained at Ellin
Island. Her husband, who Is a resident of
Omaha, called upon friends in that city tu
Intercede for his wife with the commis
sioner of Immigration. Congressman Ken
nedy was called upon to bring about the
release of Mrs. Salutsky. On the first in
terview had with Commissioner 8argent
the latter stated he would have the medical
authorities connected with Ellis Island
make an Investigation of the affection,
which the woman alleged had developed
while on shipboard, and report the same
to him. He further said that If the hus
band of the woman, as had been alleged
In telegrams passing between Mr. Kennedy
and Omaha, had Indicated his Intention to
become an American citizen and had mad
a declaration to that fact, he saw no rea
son why Mrs. Salutsky should be detained
further, providing the disease was not of
an Infectious character. Iter Mr. Sargent
was Informed by the medical authorities at
Ellis Island that the disease was of a tem
porary eha'aelcr and that they saw no
reason why the woman should not be
placed In the hospital connected with the
island until a cure was effected, which
the physicians anticipated would be In a
short time.

All this was based upon the promise that
the first essentials of citizenship In the
"-Ited States hnd been complied with on
part of Salutsky. Yesterday a telegram
i received that the husband of the
woman had not made his declaration until
January 15. It was so apparent to Com
missioner Sargent that Salutsky, either be
ing Ignorant of the law or had no Intention
of becoming a citizen until after the matter
of his wife's detention was brought forcibly
to him, that he decided the woman must
return on the next outgoing vessel.

where wives of foreign-bo, per rms eeme

the wife or other relative Is sent for. While
Mr. Sargesnt appreciates the hardship that
will be worked In this particular case, it
was so palpable to him that the law had
not been carried out that he could not
do otherwise than direct the deportatlen of
Mrs. Balutzky.

ness I. ot Worthy of Belaat
Made Martyr.
WASHINGTON. Jan. 1. Tiie senate com
mittee on lnteroceanlc canals has postponed
until next week consideration of the recal
citratlon of Poultney Blgelow.
Before the meeting several members said
they had slept over the case and are now
disposed not to make a "martyr" of a wit
ness, "whoso testimony appeared to be of
too little value to dignify his conduct with
summary punishment." It was decided that
further discussion In executive session
should 1st had. however, to determine
whether the witness should be given an
other opportunity to become amenable to
the demands made of him.
Senator Hopkins offered a resolution
certifying Mr. Higelow's contumacy to the
vice president for action In the courts and
asked that It be adopted. Several demo
cratic senators opposed this course and
Senator Simmons addressed the committee
at length. He declared that It was an
extraordinary penalty that was proposed
and contrary to common law. He sug
gested that the courts might refuse to act
on the certification, which he asserted
would prove most emharrassini;.
