12 ARMY \.\n\.\VY NE¥S. Hope to Keep Evil Resorts Away from Militant Posts. "TFrom Th« Tribune Bureau.] Washington, May 2. EL.TJM3 AT MILITARY STATIONS.— War Department has received on intimation from an association interested in the promotion of total abstinence in the army that the. influence of the organization will be applied toward obtaining state laws which will prohibit the establishment of liquor saloons within a Riven radius of military pasts and navy stations. Th»? Idea is favored by the War Department, since Congress has Insisted there shall be no teen feature of the post ex rhanße. This prohibition has resulted in having all kinds of resorts in the Immediate neighborhood of army posts, and it Is t.i these places that sol diers ko when they obtain leave, and the re sult is much drunkenness. Under the. existing con ditions the. military authorities say it is Impossi ble to regulate the conduct of enlisted men, and, accordingly, it is conceived that it would be ad- Vaal» eous to have the prohibition extended to the •lei' ry of the post and so remove the pernicious a-ifiiwnce which exists. SOL.VIN-0 NAVY FUEL. PROBLEM.— gaso lene motor is coming more and more into vogue in, th*> navy. At one time there was considerable, prejudice against this type of craft, but there is nr. increasing demand from warships for cutters and launches which shall be operated by gasolene .... The former prejudice ngainst the storage tt the fluid has been removed, and it has been found that precaution ran easily be taken against Slsaster through Are on account of the presence of gasolene in bii^ quantities stored on the decks Of vessels of war This is a step toward the liquid fuel which has been in the minds of naval en gineers for some years, and there are those who believe it will not be long before the smaller craft, such as torpedo boats .in.."; destroyers, and possi bly the lighter craft, gunboats and cruisers, will bs operated by oil Instead of. coal. Borne of the foreign governments have made appreciable ad vances in this direction, and such experiments as have been conducted In the last six months by the Navy Department Indicate that the periodical dif ficulties in obtaining coal will one day have no special concern for the naval engineers.

Douglass, However, Is Expected to Plead Guilt?/ to Bond Theft. Assistant District Attorney Murphy -will ko be fore the grand Jury on Monday with the evidence ho has collected apalnst the men Implicated In tho theft of some $SOO,<KK> in securities from the Trust Company of America. William O. Doußlass. tho assistant bond clerk, who was, it is believed, us"d as a tool by others and got less than $1,000 In cash as a result of his great stealings, will, it Ib thought in the District Attorney's office, plead guilty to an indictment. Oliver M. Dennett, the broker, through whom the securities were hypothecated, will prob ably right. So far the evidence against the "third man" is (if .such a character that it could not be used as the basis of a valid Indictment Forbc-s J. Hennessy, counsel for Dennett, had a conference of half an hour by appointment with Oakletgh Thome, president of the trust company, yesterday afternoon. Later he refused to discuss it. Mr. Tiiorne denied a report that Mr. Hennessy had come to him with a proposition to let up in the prosecution of Dennett on condition that the broker make a clean breast of all he knows about the case. "Mr. Mennessy simply came to sea whether we had recovered all of our securities," said Mr. Thorne. "We told him we had. He also wanted to know whether we had found the state ments made by Dennett to be true. We answered him that we found the statements to ho true." John B. Borne, chairman of the examining com mittee of the directors, who was present, took oc casion to demy a story thai the securities Bold for 163,000 were worth (130.000. "We have told every thing in th« statement »-.- made to the press," he said, "and our loss will not exceed $140,000." It is understood that, although $138,000 was th« par value of the securities, they were gold for their full market value. $63,000. The directors have been able to purchase securities to replace them at a figure not to exceed that. Robertson Honey, counsel for Douglass. h»d a talk with Assistant District Attorney Murphy yes terday, after which he went to Boston to see ex Mayor Josiah Quincy, of that city, who is his brother-in-law He bears a message from the Dis trict Attorn, office that they would be glad to see him here to get at first hand th« story of the oner made to him to act as counsel for Dennett It Is not expected, how. that he will think it worth while to make a trip for that purpose There was a story yesterday that Dennett, in ad dition to offering a retainer of $2,500 to Mr. Quincy to take up the case, had told him he would receive a fee of $10,000 in case he was able to obtain im munity for Douglass and Dennett for the return of a large part of the missing securities, according to the plan that hnd been formulated by the broker. Mr. Quincy, however, it has been understood, re fused to go even so far as to accept the retainer. Another thing brought out In Dennett's statement Is that, in addition to $300,000 in bonds found in Den nett's be.l in the Manhattan Club, $20,000 in cash was unearthed by Oakleigh Thorne when the room was searched. The first story was that the only thing found there was J2o.iVdi in bonds. COLER WANTS TO PROBE HIMSELF. Writes to Brenner After Investigation Talk to Get Particulars. Following the continuous succession of rumors that Jacob Brenner and the Republican organi zation of Kings County have been trying to persuade Governor Hughes to investigate tho borough administration in Brooklyn, Bird S. Coler asked yesterday for an opportunity to In vestigate the complaints of the Republicans him self. Mr. Brenner and John K. Smith, secretary of the Republican executive committee, went to Albany a couple of daya ago, and the belief was general that they had determined to ask the Governor to follow up the ways of Mr. Coler for them. "When Mr. Brenner was seen regarding the matter yesterday he said: "\o state investiga tion of Mr. Color's administration has been ordered, and the Republican organization ..f Kings County is not Investigating the matter. I have received a number of complaints from Republicans, but have not yet taken any action regarding them. I received a letter from Mr. Coler to-day regarding the rumored investiga tion, but I will not be prepared to reply till to morrow. I consider that it is better to think twice and speak once, and I have no desire to throw mud on Mr. Coler's administration with out sufficient reason." FOOTBALL FUESHMEN GET DUCKING. N. Y. TJ. Sophomores Escort Them to "Foun tain of Knowledge." The freshmen of New York University who played football last fall and escaped the pre scribed ducking furnished entertainment yester day noon, when they v.ere ducked In the "foun tain of knowledge." in Sedgwlck avenue.

Brown, pre dent of the freshman class, a Quarterback on the 'varsity team, was thrust head-on ten times Into the cold water. After his Immersion the water suddenly became red. and every one thought ho had been hurt. It was found to be the coloring from a dye that some "soph" ) ad Introduced, "Ted" Smith, one of the most enterprising and obliging freshmen, was not much affected, owing to a recent hair cut.
