The trouble over the naval reserve

is a rush Of shipping the Chief Wharfingel
wants to move the vessel out into the
stream, and Captain Turner, backed W
by Governor Budd, refuses to have the

Reserve still holds the fort.
When Uncle Sam presented the old
slOOp-Gf-war to the Naval Reserve there
was a great deal of wire-pulling over the
question of where she should be stationed,
San Diego wanted her, and, in fact, at one
time it was all settled to send her there.
San Francisco turned the tables, however,
and finally secured the vessel. The Har-
Dor Commissioners were then appealed to,
and a permanent berth was assigned the
warship at Howard wharf. When this
was secured the members of the Naval
Battalion gave up their armory on East
street and moved, bag and baggage,
aboard the training ship. She was con-
nected with the electric light service or
the city and also with the telephone serv-

feel at home,

settled aboard the Marion and everything
