L. e. Bailey Mnterializes as n Candt-
dnte for the Convention.

date for the Convention.
Perry Carson, who has long posed as the
representative of the colored republicans of
the District as a delegate to the national
convention, is not finding it all clear sail
ing this year. He may yet encounter some
rough water before he reaches the goal ne
seeks. Some Of the other active politicians
aver that he will never reach the conven-
ton at all next year.
The latest asprant for political honors is
L. c. Bailey, weil-known colored man,
who has for years been more or less active
in republican affairs of the Dlstrlct. Ac-
cording to the promises OF some OF ms
friends he is going to be a formidable can
didate. He is the treasurer of the Capltal
Savings Bank, which is largely supported
by the colored people Of the city, ana Is
also actively connected with NUMBER OF
other business ventures which nave as
rule proved successful.
The boom in Mr.. Bajley's behalf started a
week ago last night, when a meeting was
| held at 6u9 street for the purpose OF Or
eanizing a republican club Representa-
| tives OF sixteen districts were IN attend

an organization, which has since taken
shape under the ran1e Of, the Repuoilcan

..n,ack America, Thief Sentenced.

William c. Berry, the young colored man
who was dischs rged in Montana from troop
C, tenth cavalry, and arrested here after
he had served in the BLACK America"
show, was taken before Judge Miller in the
Police Court today and given a hearing on
four charges of larceny. Berry, it was
shown, robbed Thornton Richardson, a
tailor who had befriended him. and he also
robbed others. In each case he stole arti-
cles of clothing. Richardson was one of
the soldiers who escaped with his life dur
ing the Custer massacre, and had kept his
suit of soldier clotf es as a souvenir of the
exciting occasion.
Some days ago he met Berry on the
street, and the young man told him such a
pitiful story of his distressing circum-
stances that Ric harrison took him in and
cared for him. One day Richardson had
occasion to leave home, and when he re-
turned he found Berry's old clothes piled in
the middle of the room, while his Orchard
sons) soldier clothes were missing. These
were the clothes that Berry wore on the
occasion CT his arrest.
The four charges against Berry were sub
stantiated. and he was sentenced to two
years in jail

AGAINST THE PENALTIES
Secretary Herbert Sustains the Opinion of
Commodore Hichborn.
He Opposed the Proposition for PEN
alties for Excess Of Weight
in the Hull.

Growing out Of an effort Of the Navy De-
partment to hasten the construction Of
naval vessels. the shipbuilders have mar
rowly escaped the imposition Of a series of
penalties that might have been very oner-
Gus. AS shown in the recently published an
nual report of Chief Sampson of the naval
ordnance bureau, much of the delay in the
completion of ar1ncred vessels in the past
has arisen from the failure Of the ship
builders to deliver the detailed plans for the
armor to the armor makers in proper season.
In consequence, the vessels would sometimes
be full year at their docks after launching,
waiting for the armor, without which they
are urfit foruservice.
Penalties Proposed.
At recent meeting of the board Of naval
bureau chiefs attention was called to this
state of things, and Capt Sampson suggest
ed that in all future contracts a clause be
inserted requiring the delivery Of these plate
plans by the builders in certain specified
period, under heavy penalty for failures.
This brought out another proposition from
the engineer in chief that penalties be also
imposed for any excess of weight IN null
construction, SO as to guard against the
overdraft which many naval vessels show.
He urged that as q similar set of penalties
was imposed for excess weight OF engines
and boilers, the same rule should be applied
to the hull of the vessel.
Commodore Hfchborn's Opposition.
These propositions were brought before
Secretary Herbert for his approval, but
were there met with a strong argument in
opposition from Chief Constructor HIGH
born. He asserted that the shipbuilders al
ready had to contend with three sets of
penalties-one for delay in completing the
vessel, one for deficiency in speed and one
for overweight of the machinery. The de-
partment had deprived the shipbuilder
of the incentive, formerly held out, of a
bonus for excess speed, and If new penal
possible to secure bids for naval construc-
tion at reasonable figures. and the industry
would be severely discouraged. Secretary
Herbert maturely considered the subject,
and finally adopting the view Of Colnmo-
dore Hickborn, decided against the imposi-
ton of additional penalties.

SPEED OF WAR VESSELS
Admiral Ramsay Believes They Can All
Make Their Record Speed.
He Has Been Misrepresented In the
Treatment of the Table
in His Report.

Admiral Ramsay, chief of the bureau OF
navigation, was asked by Star reporter
today If he desired to make any statement
with regard to the newspaper publications
about the low rate OF speed mace oy hasai
vessels in their recent cruises he sa'o ne
didn't care to depart from his usual rule
to ignore newspaper criticisms of naval
affairs but inasmucfs as in this instance
he had been put in the extremely uhen-
viable position of discrediting the capable
ities of our own naval vessels, he was will
ing to say that instead Of believing that
thew are failures in the matter OF speed'
as was covertly represented nc hetd eA-
actly the opposite opinion
II think" he said, in a cool. deliberate
way. that every one of the ships men
toned in the article as having made such
a poor speed showing during the year can
make its record speed whenever there Is
oco aSicn for 1t.
Entirely Misrepresented.
Another officer of the bureau said tnat the
admiral had been misrepresented entirely IN
the matter. 1t would appear from the artl-
Gle that he had gone out of his way to OBJ
tain data to show foreign governments that
our naval vessels were not what they were
cracked up to be in the matter of speed,
whereas the fact of the matter was that the
record of the ships had been taken from thelr
logs in accordance with the practice oil the
bureau of many years standing. Inc pare
figures Of the cruises of the vessels We're put
in Admiral Ramsay's report as an appen-
dix, and he made no comment on the sub
ject one way or the other. The record show
ed that the ships had merely been engaged
in everyday cruising from port to port un-
der ordinary conditions, and that the only
instance in which the least effort for speed
was made was when the cruiser Columbia
made her naval record-breaking trip across
the Atlantic.
