MR. TAFT WARNS PARTY
HE SAYS IT MAY BECOME
THE OPPOSITION.
President Just an "Old Grad" Most
of the Time. Though, at Yale
Graduation Exercises.
|By Tf!*:craph tr> Th- Tribune.]
New Haven. June 30. — President Taft, adorned
with a smile of more than usual magnitude and
wearing a necktie whose blueness left no doubt
about his devotion to his alma mater, took in
every detail of ihe Yale graduatiOfl exercises to
day. He donned cap and gown and marched In
the 1 parade, to tho great delight of most of New
Haven: h» a't.-'ndcd a corporation meeting,
beamed with interest through the graduation
exercises proper, made a speech at the alumni
dinner, attended President Hadley's reception
and a dinner this evening, and before h<» went
back to Washington dropped Into the Skull and
Bones hall for a few minutes. Moreover, he
predicted that he was likely to d<> the same
thing each year, until h» became as familiar to
Yale as 'he much liked ham and cbJcken at the
alumni dinners.
It was for the President a day of relaxation
and genuine pleasure. Only onre did he pass
from his disregard of offlci.il atmosphere. Into
a jolly' speech full of references to Yale and
Yalensians he injected a serious note of warning,
to tht- Republican party, which was taken by
the thousands who beard him to be s direct ref
eren< c to the tariff and kindred problem? troub
ling the Washington statesmen .lust now. He
h.id been .le.-fine; about the quality of Democracy
of Secretary Dickinson, who was on the piat
form with him.
"But I am far from ignoring some difficulties
w«» hay«» on our «id<»." went- on the President.
"In irX»4 Charles Fnn< Adams gave what I
shouid" call a perfectly good Ad^ms reason for
expecting the. election of a Democratic candi
date He said our theory of government de
ma.nded a strong and sincere opposition The
Democratic party had failed In that part so
signally that his remedy was to try the Repub
licans as opposition.
'•WE HAVE TROUBLES OF OUR OWN."
"Now, while that may not b« the reason

TRIBUTE TO EX-PRESIDENT DWIGHT.
Th-T. President Taft paid a pretty tribute to
-President Dwight declaring that every Yal#>
man hop^d be would have the pleasure for
many years of listening to his kindly benedic
tion, '"which we value so much said feel so much
better for," alluding to "x-Pr^«ident Dwighfs

Executive said r>^ had been as punctual as pos-
Bible in attending corporal meetings, but cir
cumstancea had prevented his Attending: thoso.
where the honorary dearre.es w*»re conferred, m
he felt at liberty to criticise them where criti

"This power of conferring thean is one a uni

shows whether the univemty i? \ip to date with
the things which occupy men in the fields of
endeavor and success I congratulate the presi
dent of V.ale on the degreo he conferred on the
president of Harvard in such beautifully felici
tous terms It made a man warm to Harvard
as — well, as some of us seldom do," whereat
there was a huge Yale laugh.
It meets mv approval, too." wrnt on Presi
dent Taft. "that we orthodox of Yale should
recognize and seem to approve the liberality of
Harvard." and another laugh greeted this allu
sion to the d^gr^e conferred on Bishop Law

The President said he was \ cry glad to see
that the courteous convention by which Yale
lost on Harvard's class day at Cambridge and
Harvard lost on Yale's class day a' New Haven
still was kept up. He was very glad, too. he
said, to see the degree of Master of Arts con
ferred on "that genial music critic, Brother
Krehbiel. who from his chair of power in The
Tribune office" had dealt out condemnation and
approval on the musically un.iust anrt just
President Taft drew a very moving picture of
Cincinnati's hanging on Mr Kr^ hbi<M'<; lips for a
vr-rdict on musical doings there
ABOUT THE BATTLESHIP CRUISE
He continued:
Then the corporation took up the navy and I
assume, approved the voyage of the sixteen bbart r
tleships around the world and recognized in
Admiral Sperry the supreme ability and equi
poise and determination able to meet the re
quirements of, the custodian of $150,000,000 of
United States property. which, if lost, could not
be restored In a decade. And I may say that
while that trip was criticised at the time, no
order of my predecessor tended so ■ much to
neace as this one by which he sent round th^
world, not as messengers of war, but as mes
sengers of peace, those sixteen mechanisms.
President Taft had a wori aa say also about
the degree, conferred on "dear old Billy Sum
ner" who in '78 "looked a good deal older
and sterner and— not quite so lovely as he
does to-day." H« spoke in pr.ilse also of sec

between £35.000.000 and £60,000,000, which
forced a critical spectator to cough violently
and made everybody look sober.

that, in order to put the empire in a state of

have to build ten battleships, eighteen . second

of Santo Domingo.
Th«» order to detain the steamer was received
last evening from Assistant Secretary McHaxg
of the Pwjisjiliiisiil of Commerce and Labor, at
Washington, and was executed promptly by Col
lector Loeb. The Washington advices said that
91 Leger. minister from Haytl. had complained
to the State Department that the British stea=
ship Etheiwold was believed to -have b«ea *n
gaged by Jose St. Pierre 1-iordar.i and General
Juar. J!rr<<p.ez, San Doralngans. to ajij In a fili

Within an hour after receipt efl tfc* order
Collector Loeb had Chief Inspector Peter Brad
iay take two customs oftlcerp to the llttl» «hlp
They were placed, aboard wtfh orders not to let
her sail The Ethelwold at the ttaaa -was lying
with considerable list to port. t!ed up at the
end of a long pier at 26th street. In Bawtt
Brooklyn.
The engineer and two members of the cxe-w.
who were the first persons discovered in the
darkness, said that Captain Brcnx-n and all
Others in authority were ashore for the nasjst
"When do you expect to aaU?" wis asked.
"To-night or to-morrow.* volunteered aaw
"Sat for a week yet.*" persisted another. Both
were English sailors.
•"And your destination?"
"Sydney." was the r--p!--.
"Sydney. n S.r*
'•No. Australia." they replied in concert.
"What cargo are you taking there?'
"Cases of Oil."
"Were you aboard when she was loaded?**
None would admit that he was. but a" that
moment a white capped customs officer ap
peared from abaft.
He was Inspector William E Dodge, and ex
pl3Jned that h» and Inspector R W Reulberger
had come aboard scarcely an hour before by
order of Chief Inspector Bradley to see that the
vessel did not sail. He said no inspection had
been made of the cargo, and none would be
undertaken last night, and that, although he
knew nothing definitely of any filibuster, he did
know that something of the sort was suspected
He added that when he came aboard the agent
Of the boat, whose name he did not know, ap
peared greatly agitated and denied that he had.
any intention of clearing his vessel for some
time to come
But the customs officer pointed out that full
s'^im was up. a matter which the chief en
gineer wis unable to account for better than
to say ' Those were mv orders " The customs
officers suggested that the. list to port was af
fected to make the vessel appear unseaworthy
and to indicate that she was not ready for
sailing They said that three men were on
board when they first arrived, all with captain's
papers — a!! expert mariners, and. as one of the
men admitted, experts. t.->o. in handling fire
arms.
■ Yes." one of the customs officers said, "the
crew of a dozen or fifteen were aboard when we
arrived Most of them were English sailors and
had been shipped only a few days ago. Of
course, they would not have been aboard to
night, with steam up. unless the boat was about
to sail None of them appear to know much
about the cargo, for they did not handle it, and
those who had seen som# of it said it was oil
in tin cases We have not be«n authorized to
make any inspection That will probably be
nmde to-morrow.'
The Ethelwold is a steamer ol littts more
than s<"iO tons, and has been around New York
for several months. She was until recently in
Erie Basin, and is said to have loaded at Fran
cis & Bannemnan's warehouse At Banner
man's deck hands admitted last night that fire
arms were sometimes handled there, but none
knew of loading the Ethelwold.
, Jose St. Pierre Giordani. whom the Washing
ton advices implicated in the alleged filibuster,
was formerly consul general here from Santo
Domingo, and was later said to be the agent
of a formidable conspiracy against Hayti. Santo
Domingr and Cuba. He was convicted here
about a year ago and sentenced to six months'
imprisonment

and practically took tha Police Department out
of the hands of the Commissioner yesterday.
This action, which is said to be the most dras
tic and extraordinary ever tak-?rt by a Mayor in
this city, is the outcome o? the Duffy case.

the conclusion that "as Mayer cf the city' of
New Tori I should not ord»r the police to st.?x>
taking photographs of persons arrestad ad ac
cused of crime or who have been indiotetl by
grand juries."
The- Mayor admitted t>e possibilities of in
justices similar to the Duffy case, bn* sai they
were dv© as "inefficiency and rcaladmiriisfratfon
of the. Police Department in the Borough rf
Brooki-.-n He stated thai he had argued Tfth
Commissioner Blngham in vain against leaving
that part of the? city in the control cf profes
sional polic? ofllcers The Commissioner was
"lardaved and directed" to return Deputy Com
missioner Baker to charge of tfit Boroughs n{
Brooklyn and Queens.
TO APPROVE SLATTEFY'S SUCCESSOR.
After "ordering" the removal of Deputy Corr
mlssioner Hanson the Mayor "directed" the ap
pointment of Assistant Corporation Ccuna?! Jo
seph A Stover as third or trial dep'it" to suc

OVERRULES BINCKAIT.
After his review and discussion cf the Dufly*
case and statement of instances cf maladmin
istration of the Police Department in Brooklyn,
due. as he believed, to trying to manage it from
Manhattan, the Mayor said: "For these Tea
sons I have decided tr> overrule the Commis
sioner on his. theory of the administration of
the department in Brooklyn, and do hereby or
der and direct:
First — That on the r»c?ir? of thi3 communi
cation the Police Commissioner immediately
plice in charge of the bcrougha of Brooklyn
and Queens, with all his former authority as
trial commissioner aa well as otherwise. First
Deputy Police Commissioner Baker, and thus
restore this great division of the city to its
former police administration at the rvirids of
one of its citizen?. Thi3 gives back to Brook
lyn its autonomy in police matters and entries
out the theory of home rule, which the Police
Commissioner should never have violated.
Second — I further order the Commissioner to
designate First Deputy Commissioner Ba&erand
Inspector McCafferty to entertain- all applica
tions to take photographs and rri^ajßiauitaJß
from the Rogues' Gallery an#i ruie thereon.
Third — I order the Police Commissioner to re
move the photograph of George B. Duffy, of No.
237 Wyckoff eet. Brooklyn, from the laaaajsaf
Gallery and return all photograph negatives and
B<?rtillon measurements to his lather. George E.
Duffy
Fourth — 1 order the Police Commissioner to
forthwith remove from "r!:" Deputy PoMco
Commissioner Hanson and Secretary Slattery
for their implication In the case of the DurTy
boy. when as lay members of the coiiinilsslw
er's staff trey shouid have been, the first to>
check this g ieva&ce as far back as March. 1909.
when the matter was presented to Mr Justice
Gaynor. It was Deputy Commissioner Hanson
who appears to have taken the affidavit of the
unfortunate woman who was used to sustain tha
police theory of the case.
Another reason that has led me to make this
order in regard to Deputy Corr.mlssione. Hanson
i 3 the complaints of the Appellate Divisions of
both departments brought to mv attention, that
by his abusive language, lack of control and in
ability to exercise judicial functions he ha 3 co»t
the city of New York rr.anv thousands of dollars
by the reinstatement of police officials removed
on charges, but whom the courts have reinstated
because of the evidence of passion, prejudice
and partiality exercised by thfs Deputy Com
missioner.
It was Secretary Slatterv who. in a. m«mo
randum to the Commissioner, and which was
transmitted to me by the Commissioner, stated
that the unfortunate woman had perjured her
self hen she stated in the Seibel caa# that sa#
was In the Brooklyn Hotel with him when Seibel
was assaulted.
For these reasons I direct the immediate re^
moval of these two men. • /y* "'■
LAWYER FOR TRIAL DEPUTY.
Fifth — I further direct the Police Corr.?nlfca_j
sioner to appoint as third or trial deputy AsstSt-
ant Corporation Counsel Stover in plac« \£h
Deputy Commissioner Hanson . \ w
Sixth — I further direct the Police Commis
sioner to submit to me the name of the suc
cessor to Mr. SUtterv. and on.v appoint . such
successor on my approval, the secretary or ta>
Police Commissioner having ceased to be a mere
clerical aid. but by order* of the Police Com
missioner designated as a "staS officer."
Seventh— l further direct that Borough In
spector Russell, who has been in charge cf tao
boroughs cf Brooklyn and Queens, b* reduced
to the rank of captain and assigned to a pre
cinct in The Bronx, for the good of the service,
because of false statements mads to me>. - . \-
— Formerly the Police Commieataaar
submitted to me fcr approval the names of the
captains that he desired to designate aa in
spectors, but of lata thia submission of name*
has been discontinued. I therefore direct that
the designation of captains aa inspectors, th*
reduction of inspectors to captains and the aa
signment of inspectors be submitted - to . q« tor
mv approval, as heretofore.
Ninth — order that Inspector Thomas J. Keliv
be assigned and designated as inspector-at-la-g*
