Bill for stopping n distribution
of Prize Money
A Washington special says Repre-
sentative Willis, of New York, intro.
duced a bill to-day providing for the
repeal OF all law authorizing the pay
IN Mt of prize money to officers and
men in the navy who may be engaged
in the capture OF any vessel or any
other lawful prize. This bill is founded
on the theory that the distribution OF
money is a relic of past ages and de
morallzing to the naval service. Should
a similar principle be recommended in
tho army, Mr.. Willis says it would
convert the soldiers into organized
brigands. He believed that the money
is seldom equitably distributed, and
thought there we're always a certain
number of officers and men who,
without their own fault, are so de-
tailed that they don't share in the dis
tribution. He thinks in some cases
chat the hope of the taking Of prize
money has caused delay in taking i'm
portant ports and has been strongteInp-
tations tor commandants of fleets to
lie outside such ports in hopes of cap
turing Il prize which they would not
secure should they attack the place at
once,
