NO CHURCHES ON REsERTArIoNs
Tho House Committee Military AnAirs
Against Odeli's BILL


WASHINGTON. Fob. 15.-The House Commit
tee on Military Affairs to-day voted, 10 to 3,
against Representative Odell's bill giving power
to the Secretary Of War to authorize the erec-
tion Of building for religious worship by any
denomination, sect, or religion on any military
reservation In the United States. Tho bill, It
was freely understood. was intended to settle the
controversy which has ragged for some months
over the application of the Catholic Church
authorities for permission to erect a chapel at
West Point. where services were to be con-
Quoted under the auspices OF that Church. The
desired permission was granted by Secretary
Alger, a Protestant. and revoked upon the de-
cision by Attorney. General McKenna, q Catho-
lie. that II was illegal.
The bill was advocated by Mr. Mahany, and
the opposition led by Mr.. Lentz of Ohio. was
based on tho broad ground that the United
States desired no places of worship on any
OF It's reservations not under the control OF
its officers. 1t developed in the course
of the discussion that several applications
for similar privilege on other reserva.
tons are pending before the Secretary OF War.
made by Protestant bodies. and the buildings
are already in existence on several military
reservations. The bill received but three votes,
those of Messrs. Mahany, Sulzer and Belknap'
After the committee adjourned Mahany intro
duced a bill directing the Secretary OF War to
order the removal at once of all religious edifces
OF any description whatsoever from the military
reservations OF the United States.

Tho Organization Committee Of the Demo-

night In the Thomas Jefferson Headquarters to
hear contests arising out Of the recent primary

and the committee did not ge; half through
with them last night.
The committee sat In the executive rooms on
the second floor and the lower hall was packed
with the partisans of tho rival leaders. Tho
proceedings on both floors showed that there is
a good deal of factional feeling in the Demo
cratic organization in Brooklyn, and that 1t
may break out ut any moment. There seemed
to be general dissatisfaction over the manner
in which the official plums had been distrbut-
ed SO far. and intense impatience over the de-
lay in giving out the 800 or 400 minor jobs.
1t was openly asserted that Tammany Hall was
bossing the whole machine and that the Brook
lyn Democracy had been practically ignored.

can, to an important place in the Water Sup.

yard engaged in tho trial of Pay Director Luther
g. Billings. U. 8. N. have found him guilty and
sentenced him to dismissal. The findings, how
ever. have not yet been passed upon by the Sec
rotary of tho Navy.
Paymaster Billings was tried on q charge Of
falsehood in having denied to Secretary Long
that he was a stockholder in the American Com.
pressed Food Company. which manufacturer an
emergency ration invented by Mr. Billings and
In which his relatives are stockholders,
Paymaster Billings is ono OF the most popular
omcers In the navy and his reputation for ster-
ling integrity is Of the highest. His defence is
that when he told the Secretary of the Nayy
that he was not an incorporation he believed that
he was not. as he had surrendered his stock and.
as he supposed disconnected himself entirely
from the affairs Of the company. Asa matter Of
fact. however. his name was without his knowl-
edge. left standing on the list Of incorporators

Naval officers generally testify to the honesty
