CAPTAIN BENSON IS
NOW HEAD OF NAVY
SUCCEEDS REAR ADMIRAL MAKE
AND IS FBI >MOTKD
IN TITLE.
Washington, May tl.—Captain
William Shepherd Benson today
stepped from the office of com
t.iandant of the Philadelphia Navy
Yard to the office of (Thief of Naval
Cqierations, the virtual head of the
navy. He in promoted to the rank
of Rear Admiral on taking up his
new work. He succeeds Rear Ad-
miral Bradley A. Flske,x aid of op-

portant navy yards at a time when
it was rapidly developing and fit-
ting out to do shipbuilding on a
large scale, and where he proved
himself an administrator ' of the
highest type.
'The chief of naval operations is
one of the senjor captains of the
navy, and in the ordinary course of
events would bo promote; 1 to the

with tho upbuilding.
"During the eighties he inspected
the material for the construction
of the first modern vessels which
later formed the white squadron.
At one period he served at one of
the branch hydrographic offices.

came commandant of midshipmen.
“Ho commanded several import-
ant ships and served as chief of
staff of the Pacific fleet. His

or walking, from taking hold of
moving automobiles and other ve-
hicleh and permitting themselves to
bo pulled along. This ordinance is
aimed at a practice indulged in by
boys riding bicycles and children

draw up an ordinance to cover the
case.

Washington, May XI,—Secretary
Franklin “K. Lane of the Depart-
ment of the Interior, has been
ordered (by the District Supreme
Court (o show cause why a manda-
mus should not be Issued to restore
to office William F. A rant of Kla-
math Fu 11s, Ore., formerly superin-
tendent of the Crater Lake Na-
tional I'iiYk in Oregon. The court
proceedings were brought by Arant
who claims he was illegally ousted
from'his position, and that (he U.
S. marshal for Oregon “violently
and with force of arms" seized
Arant and removed him from of-
fice. ;
Tho right of cabinet officers to
remove government employes In
the classified civil service is ques-
tioned by Arant. He seeks a man-
damus to compel Secretary Lane to
restore him to his position, from
which he was removed June 28,
18Mv He had held the ' Job for
eleven years.
At the time of the removal, the
petitioner claims, he was held and
recognized by the civil service com-
mission to be a person In tho classi-
cal service, and by act of 19,12,
congress provided that no person in
the classified service should be re-
moved unless charges in writing
were formally made against him and
an opportunity afforded to answer
personally the chargee. That no
such charge was ever made against
him. is the claim of Arant, who
says the first intimation that
reached him was a request for his
resignation. That he protested in
vain, and was forcibly ousted by
the marshal with his posse and that
his family was driven from the su-
perintendent’s headquarters in the
park, is also claimed by Arant.

Austria'*, Proposal.
At>oriated Press Dispatch
Paris. May 11, t:4<>a. m.—Anoth-
er version of the territorial conces-
sions Austria is said to hare propos-
ed to Italy, as printed by the Matttno
of Naples, has heen telegraphed from
Rome. According to this report.
Austria is willing to cede part of
the province of Trent, together with
a strip of territory in the "egton of
the Isonzo river, w>hicb empties into
the Gulf of Trieste. Trieste itself
is absolutely excluded as well as
Istria and Pola.
The Italian cabinet is said to have
considered these concessions as In-
sufficient and made a counter propffs-'
at demanding all ot Trent up to
Brenner ( mountain pass ol Tyrol,
on the railroad line connecting Inns-
oruck with Bozen and offering the
shortest route between Central Ger-
many and Italy) together with
Trieste and -Istria, including Pola.
Italy, the Mattino asserts, will insist
upon obtaining Trieste, but is ready
to give Austria commercial guaran-
tees.

is able to state that the ltSlian gov-
ernment has demanded of Vienna a
definite answer within a fixed time.

circles there is no real hope of a
peaceful settlement, although Pope

other war.
