MACHINE GINS FOR THE yAvr.
None or Those Tested At the Proving
Grounds Was Satisfactory.

wAsHISGToS. Aug. l".-The chances are that
the navy will remain without a suitable ma
cihne gun for some time to come. the Board
which has been conducting competitive tests
with different types at the naval proving station
cannot agree upon one TO recommend for adop-
tion. The great trouble with all the guns was
due primarily Ia the fault OF the ammunition
feeds which seemed TO have choked and in some
instances ground one bullet into another
The rapidity offire was far below that expect
cd. and. on the whole, the tests were unsatisfac-
tory tn the BOARD. Two members agreed upOn
one type as better than the rest, but still he
heyed IL short OF what should be expected for
machine guns. Another member believed all
the guns more or less faulty, and the result has
been "a report TO the Secretary setting forth what
each gun did. but retraining from making any
recommendations.
This part OF ships battery Is the only weak
point The heavy ordnance Is recognized the
best In any navy, and the rapid -hre guns are
without "A peer. At present the Gatlng Is used
on some ships, but its calibre does not conform
10 that OF the new small arm adopted. and. be-
sides, IL is not satisfactory. The department
aims Ia secure one or two types ef fmachine
guns, OF the same Calibre the new rifle, and
when they can be found TO Mt out all ships with
them.

AGAINST MINED MARRIAGES.
Father Hammer Says He VIII Never A gala
Marry Catholic to Protestant.

The Rev. Father Hammer, pastor OF ST. Ann s
Catholic Church in Newark. declares that never
will he again officiate at the marriage OF Cath
Ollie and a non-Catholic. He made this an
nouncement at the meeting OF the Catholic Club
of Newark last week. The declaration caused
surprise among the Catholics OF the diocese. for,
while the law Of the Church is we'll known on
the subject, ii Is seldom strictly enforced.
Father Hammer emphasized his declaration by
repeating 1t at the masses yesterday. To Sun
reporter he said
My twenty years experience as a priest has
convinced me that the rule OF the Church re-
garding mixed marriages cannot be too strictly
enforced. have seen so much misery and un-
happiness the outcome OF mixed marriages that
have decided to officiate no more at those cere-
monies even II dispensation Is granted to
those contracting
THE Church does not look with favor on nike
marriages, because the results are not always
satisfactory. IL the wife Is a Catholic. and
more women than men marry outside Of their
faith. she is subjected to great misery and many
heartbreakS. II she IL strong in her faith her
unhappinesS is much the greater. Before
marriage the husband agrees TO have the chill
dren brought up as Catholics, hat he does not
always keep his agreement, and only good
Catholic knows what unhappiness that causes.
IL the mother is careless about her religion the
children are brought up without any religion.
and thus the foundation ~ society is menaced
IL will adhere to my determination not To
marry Catholic and one of any other religion"

were unable To get many delegates. Mr.. Viii

While posing few years ago as a tariff re-
former, and too clean Ia support the Republican

in his own anticipation. OF the most inexcusable
and barefared prostitution of the voters ever
