Mayor Bussc's Secret to HeadChicago Police Force.

Chicago, Aug. 4—Bernard J. Mullaney. privatesecretary to Mayor Fred A. Himse. was askedto-night by the Mayor to accept the office ofChief of Police of Chicago, to succeed George M.Shippy. who resigned to-day. He accepted theplace. A special meeting of the City Council hasbeen called for to-morrow to receive this andother appointments.

George M. Phlppy was appointed Chief of theChicago police force by Mayor Bases In April.1907.after thirty years' active service In the department.He had shown severity toward professed anar-chists, and had refused to allow them to parade inpublic. The Haymarket riots, in which he figuredwhen a young man In the department, were freshin his mind at all times.

By this line of conduct it is believed he arousedthe antaoatty of many of the most radical anar-chist*. On March 3. 190S.

Friends of Auerbach. on the other hand,always asserted lhat the young man called on th*cnief for \u25a0 legitimate purpose: that Shippy fellL.™ .\Pa?lC' attack *lAuerbach and frightenedhim Intc shooting.

ing board.Two days later it was announced by Secretary

"been a mild ©re. Secretary Wright said after theconference that the President had come to theconclusion that dlsmlssai was too severe.

Considerable public criticism of what was cm-araered undue leniency followed. Then on August8 President Roosevelt gave out an official statement"denying that he had as yet come to any decisionregarding the case and that all other report.-. hadbeen errors. There followed conferences betweenPresident Roosevelt, Secretary Wright and ColonelBeott.

Secretary Wright. In explaining the apparent dis-crepancies In statements, said the President, onfirst receiving the report from Colonel lean rec-

mending dismissal, had been inclined to upholdIt, hat had directed the withholding of the order,of dismissal panning further investigation. in thisway. he said, a wrong impression had gone forth..

"knuckling.- "fagging.' cleaning roomsand darning socks were also enforced. InI*>lCon-gress passed a law forbidding all forms of hazingat the naval or military academies.

SCHROEDER WARNB SHIPMASTERS

Asks Them to Keep Vessels Out of Gun Range

Off Virginia Capes.Norfolk, l*s Aug. 4 <Spocl.il).— Naval officers her*

are greatly interested in th« approaching tarj;"t

practice of the Atlantic fleet off the Virginia r*rr-9

Itis stated that the work with the great gijns willbe the most realistic Vattl«» practice the fleet hasever had. Greater rapidity and accuracy of fire

than have ev«>r been possible In fleet practice areconfidently expected this year, duo to the recentrearrangement of the turret mechanism on th*great ships and th« application of electricity to th«control of th» turning mechanism of all of th»-m.

Through the hydrography office Admiral Schroderhas Issued an nppenl to shipmasters to keep oat ofthe zone of fir*during the practice. In view of thefact that It Is specifically state.l that ther* willbeno outing while aaj veosel Is hi range of the

guns, It is the obvious desire of .the fleet com-mander not so much to avoid hitting the merchantvessels hh '•• prevent them Interfering with th«practice nt the fleet.

The area covered by the firing willb« aIMMM ten

miles square, i".l ii« westward or the <Ilre.'f route

north nml south between ''ape Hatteraa and themouth of ''• Del \u25a0 •• lUvei It Is outside th»

route of vessels bound In from either north orsouth. The firing ground will cover an area ofabout twenty miles square, the. centre being thirty--

four miles southeast by east from Paps Henry

light. The «nrn<tig of Admiral Behroeder againstcrossing this area at atahl Indicates that the, ves-\u25a0els willhave \u25a0 great deal of practice shooting by

searchlight.

The targets that are being use.l this year are .in

Improved type and will ride like a snip In any sea.

They have been built at the navy yard here atheavy expense, and as much care was bestowed

on their construction as on \u25a0 vessel. On the oanvaascreen that covers them Is painted the sllhoutte. of

a battleship, which will make the practice of th<»gunners more accurate.

Off theVirginia Capes they will supplement their practiceIn the calm waters of Cape Cod Bay withmanoeuvres and other work under rougher condi-tions. The battleship Maine alone of the sixteenvessels composing the fleet remained behind. Itwas considered Inexpedient for the Maine to pro-ceed until various minor repairs had been effected.Those the battleship will receive at the PortsmouthNavy Yard, where she will go In a few days.

The battleships were preceded In their departureby the flotilla of eleven torpedo boats. It wasplanned to give these sombre little craft a run atfull speed when a certain distance out.

The larger vessels left in single file, headed by theConnecticut, flagship of Rear-Admiral Schroeder.Following at Intervals, and giving the Capsshore the name wide berth, came the other battle-ships of the four divisions in the following order:The Kansas, the Vermont, the I»ulslana. the Min-nesota, the Idaho, the Mississippi, lbs New Hamp-shire, the Ohio, the Georgia, the Nebraska, theNew Jersey, the Rhode [aland, the Virginiaand theWisconsin.

\u25a0Mill niceties of definition. ItIs almost Impossibleto draw the line between wholesome and legitimatefun. Inwhich young men may properly engage, andthe son of misconduct which Is regarded as cruel•ad cowardly and which represents an unfair ad-vantage taken by senior cadets over their juniors.For a time there were Indications that hazing, ac-cording to the latter definition, did not exist amongthe cadets.

Blnce President Roosevelt exercised clemency inbehalf of West Pointers who were convicted ofhaElng. the officials at the Military Academy havereported a tendency on the part of the cadets toregard the regulations rather lightly. This wasforeseen by the superlntedent when he urged Mr.Roosevelt to approve the recommendations of dis-missal. Colonel Scott maintained that if theacademy authorities were reversed the cadetswould get the Impression that It was necessaryonly to exert sufficient Influence to have the mosturgent of academic recommendations Ignored, andthe most conclusive of official findings in a WestPoint report set aside

This prediction appears to be borr.e wit by thesituation, as It now develops in these latest caseswhich are soon to engage the attention of the Sec-retary of War. Army officers generally are mani-festing keen Interest to observe what will be doneIn the matter, and tome of them go so far as toassert that the discipline of the Military AcademyIs seriously involved in the question. j Washington, Aug. 4.—The question whether David

HER DYING WISH TO BE OBEYED.

Believed to Contain Clothing of St.

Louis Kidnappers.St. Louis, Aug. 4.—The discovery to-day that

three trunks had been shipped from St. Louts toChicago by men suspected of the kidnapping ofOrace fend TommaFßo Viviano confirmed the policein the belief that the disappearance of the childrenand the demand of $25,000 ransom for them was theresult of a carefully laid plot, which did not. how-ever, contemplate harm to the children. The police

received word from Chicago to-night that onlyclothing was found Inthe trunks, which were seizedthere- to-day at the request of the St. Louis au-thorities.

The St. Louis police think the clothing in thetrunkH to be the property of Samuel Tunis!, whoIs believed to have lured the Vlvtano children fromtheir home, and other members of the blackmailinggang. The trunks were taken from the house ofJoseph Pagano Monday afternoon. Pagano andTurrisl wire friends, and a man answering the lat-ter'B description left Pagano's house an hour be-fore the children disappeared Monday.

Conflicting stories told by the Paganos, and thefact that the three trunks left their come almostat the same time the children were kidnapped.

the additional-circumstance that four strange menleft the Pagano home fifteen minutes after the

trunks were taken away, lead the police to believethat the conspiring kidnappers shipped their prop-erty to a place where they believed It would be

*»(<\u25a0 from search while they negotiated with theVivlanos for ransom. The police have arrestedLamancta nirnlgjne. who hauled the trunks to theexpress office Monday.

••Two men rode with me to the express office,"

said Girolom. "I left them at the American Ex-press office near the Union Depot. Idid not haveanything to do with shipping the trunks."

Investigation showed that the trunks had beendelivered to the Adams Express Company. A clericsaid the trunks were sent to Benedetto Louis, ofChicago. No record of the address of the Italian

to whom they were consigned Is on file at th« localoffice of the express company.

Marchesl Benedetto, cousin of Sam Turrisl. lastseen with the kidnapped children, has been miss-Ing from his home since Sunday. Police Captain |

Scoppe believes Benedetto went to Chicago to re-ceive the trunks consigned to Benedetto I^ouls.

Two Black Hand letters demanding $300 have jbeen sent to Joseph Palozolio, a brickmaker. andthe police began Handing guard about his houseti,hv. Fright over the kidnapping of the childrencaused him to report th« letters to the police.
