Superiority Shown by Brooklyn Navy
Yard Accident.
THOSE OF TIMBER UNSUITABLE
Warships Endangered by Their In
substantiabIlIty.
WILL APPEAL TO CONGRESS

The Navy Department today received
telegram from Admiral Philip commandment
OF the New York navy yard. briefly an
nouncing the serious injury sustained by
dry dock No. = at that yard from heavy
rain storm Of the night before. The ad-
rniraTs Telegram gave no details beyond the
statement that the filing behind the dock
had been washed out and the west abut-
12lent forced in.
Admiral EndicOtt chief of the bureau of
wards and doc ks will go over to New York
tomorrow TO make an inspection of the in
tl.red dock From such information as he
has been able to gather through the news
paper reports. together with previous
knowledge of the condition of the dock. he
Is inclined to the belief that it can be put
In shape for use again in about ten months
time IL is by no means certain that tenn
porary repairs cannot be made IN the mean
time that will enable the department to
continue to use the dock
Plans Already Drawn.
1t so happens that plans had already been
drawn and an appropriation amounting 10
$500 900 had been secured for the purpose OF
reconstructing this dock 1t was originally
a fine dock but was much injured through
the construction of the big timber dock NO
3 In it's immediate vicinity 1t had shown
before the war the appropriation was
secured to rebuild it. but the department
was prevented from entering upon the
work first through the superior claims oil
other works and latterly through the neces-
sity for fitting out the North Atlantic
squadron for the maneuvers now In pro
gress Only last Wednesday this partic-
ular dock was occupied by the cruiser De
troit and had the accident happened at
that time 1T might have caused the ruin OF
the ship.
The plans for reconstruction involve the
substitution of concrete at the entrance OF
the timber abutments- Once these are In
place it will be d comparatively easy mat
ter from time to time to substitute stone
for the timber lining in the present dock
Result of This Incident.
The immediate result of this accident has
been to confirm the officials OF the Navy
Department in their determination to build
no more timber dry docks if Congress can
be made to see the false economy of such
construction. Chief Endicott made the
strongest possible plea before Congress at
out that while the wooden docks sufficed
for the old type hght-draft vessels, they
We're neither safe nor enduring when built
deep enough for the modern steel warships
Notwfthsta nding this presentation. Con-
greSS provided for timber docks at two of
the most important yards in the country,
Mare Island and League Island. Now
docks will not have advanced by the time
Congress meets beyond a point where
the change can be easily made. a
strong effort will be made by the depart
ment to sanction the Use of stone instead of
timber in their construction

BUSINESS CONDITIONS.
A Review of Trade During the Pres
ent Summer Season.


The dullness in business which is usual
in this city as well as In others at this
season of the year Is now quite in evil
dence although there is perhaps greater
volume of current business being trans
acted than is customary at such a time.
1t is thought by some observers of local
conditions that the summer vacation be-
gan earlier than usual, fastened by the
extreme heat during portion of June.
While the people found in the stores
is not up to the usual number, still
as it is the vacation time there are not as
many clerks and other employees. a good
many of the latter taking their annual
leaves.
The local retail trade, however, is stimu-
lated at this time of the year by reduc-
lions in prices and by the efforts of mer-
chants to get rid of the summer stocks
For people who remain in town there are
opportunities to save enough, Irish
man would put it, to pay the expense of q
summer trip. For this reason as well be-
cause the crowd is absent the retail stores
Of the city are especially attractive at this
time.

Application had been made to Federal
Judge John r Thomas for a writ of habeas

by Judge Thomas granting the writ was
Ieegraphed from Tulsa, |. T, "Wednesday

have the body of GOings at South McAles-
ter on July -. and a deputy marshal ar
rived at AlikChi with the writ at daylight
yesterday morning. District Attorney Clay

The sheriff refused TO receive it. The dis

MAINTAINS HIS POSITION.
Controller Tracewell on the Civil
Service Commissions Letter.

Mr.. Tracewell, the controller of the treas
ury, has returned to the city after three
weeks absence in the west. He said today
that he had not read the letter of the civil
service commission to the Secretary of the
Treasury asking that he request the con-
troller to review his decision of April l
last on the subject of the appointment and
pay of deputy United States marshas.
Although he had seen numerous extracts
from the commissions letter as printed In
the newspapers and comments thereon, he
was not prepared to make any statement as
to his probable action except that he I'M
doubtedly would make a reply thereto.
He was somewhat surprised, he said, al
though he made the statement in spirit
select live issue. The President had set
tied the matter completely by taking out
OF the classified service deputy marshals
and there the controversy might properly
end He was frank to say, however, that
so far he had seen nothing to change the
views expressed in the decision of April l.
he had no doubts of the correctness of
the views therein expressed, and he even
might have gone much further than he did.
Not Federal officials.
He said it had been settled by the courts
in repeated instances, aid in the United
States Supreme Court. that deputy United
States marshals were not federal officers
within the meaning of the law, and con-
sequently the act of one of the former
Presidents in placing them within the
classified service was clearly Illegal He
had no doubt whatever on this point, and
in all probability in his answer to the COM
missions recent letter he would treat the
subject from that point of view.
The controller said that he had heard
that some member of the Civil Service Re-
form League at New York had criticised
Secretary Gage in connection with the
Presidents recent order exempting deputy
marshals and certain other positions from
the classified service.
The gentlemen. he said, apparently do
not recognize their best friend, for Secre-
tary Gage is and always has been staunch
friend and supporter of the civil service re-
form principle.
L have watched his course carefully dur
Ing the last two years and over, and have
never known a single instance where he
has made the least exception on account of
the politics of man he wanted for the
service, and / venture the assertion that
he has never made an appointment or an
proved of a promotion that was not in his
judgment, for the good of the service
Republicans and democrats have been
treated to my certain knowledge, with ex-
act impartiality, and 1t is a mistake for any
one to attack his course in the name of
civil service reform"
