March 4, 1s97-Secretary Moody
Tells of imperative Need of Officers
by Navy.

Chicago oct. 1O.-The thirty-frst
anniversary of Chicago's big fire was
observed last night by a banquet
given under the auspices of the Mar
quette and Lakeside clubs Speakers
of national prominence were at both.
At the Auditorium hotel 500 members
Of the Marquette club and guests
gathered in the banquet hall. Govern
or La Toilette of Wisconsin was to
have been the first speaker on the
subject The Achievements of the Re
publican Party Since March 4, 1897
but he was unable to be present. Sec
rotary of the Navy Moody responded
to the toast, The Navy. He said The
most imperative need of the navy is
additional officers and declared it the
duty of the republicans of the next
session of congress to meet this need
He would not care for more ships I'M
less provision were made for officers
and men to man them. The situation
in this respect he said, is acute to-
day; four years from now it will be
desperate. He then went into details
to prove his assertions, concluding:
Congress alone can deal with this
question. | believe it to be the duty
of congress to face it speedily and
courageously. | doubt not it will be
done. If it is not done and action
does not follow, it will not be many
years before we shall see our splendid
ships dccayng in our harbors as idle
as painted ships upon a painted
ocean"

not be profitable. To both Of these
cases the trackless trolley seems
particularly adapted. If the future
should show that the traffic is not suf-
fcient to justify the road, the expense
of installation has been very slight.
while, on the other hand, if the traffic
should grow, the ordinary track can
be laid and used with the same over
head wires, while the trolley omnibus
can be relegated to another branch,
where it can develop another traffic
territory. Still another instance where
this system, if it is practicable, can be
used in a small town where there is
no trolley system and where current
to operate the line can be purchased
from a local lighting company. Two
systems of this kind are employed
abroad. In one the trolley is of or
binary undermining type, and the
two poles carried on the bus are SINH
lar to those on a car except that they
are longer and are swiYeled both at
the base and at the harp, so that a
certain amount of variation in running
is possible. In the other systems the
trolley runs GA top of the wire, as in
the old early Van de Poole system
and is connected to the omnibus by
two flexible wires.

Washington, Oct. l0.-Aside from
the election OF officers the most intel
esting feature of the encampment yes
terday was the report OF the pension
committee. This committee severely
scored the radical division of the pen
sion bureau, declaring it was the dead
line where We're executed the claims
of veterans seeking pensions. 1t &C,
cused the personnel OF this division
of approaching the reports of eXan4-
lining surgeons throughout the country
with suspicion and distrust and as
made in bad faith. 1t denounced the
reports that extensive frauds were
pTaCtiCed in pension claims as abSo-
lutely baseless. The committee says.
I'VE find the bureau has been exceed
ingly technical, narrow and harsh in
the application OF rules of evidence,
even to the extent OF requiring claim
ants to establish their right to pension
beyond all reasonable doubt. Many
rules of evidence applied to business
transacted in the pension bureau find
their Salutary uses in criminal courts,
not in courts Of equity. In the matter
OF proof Of marriage required of wiu-
Ows, the evidence demanded both in
quality and in quantity is unreason>
able and in many cases burdensOme
and vexatious. The usual presump-
lions in favor Of lawful wedlock re-
ceive scant recognition in the pension
bureau"
Reference is made to the charge
that a great many eX-union soldiers
are making an effort to obtain pen
sions by fraud, the report saying.
This is great insult to the
defenders of the union and without
justification, as shown by the com.
missioners last report in which the
subject of frauds was extensively
dealt with. An analysis of facts shows
that of 1859 persons convicted last year
only ten were soldiers of the civil
war, two of whom were deserters, or
one to every 1858 soldiers and sail
ors on the pension rolls. We chal-
lenge any other department of the
government to make as favorable
showing"
The committee adds that those en-
trusted WI. discussing the govern
ments bounty should be the defend
ers of the honor of those who receive
it."
The greater part of the afternoon
session of the Grand Army was de-
voted to the election of officers, the
result being:
Commander-in-Chief-Gen. Thomas
j. Stewart, Pennsylvania.
Senior vice-William M. Olin, Mas
sachusetts.
Junior-James NJ. Averill Georgia.
Election of the other officers went
over until today. There was a sharp
contest over the election of command
er-iu-chief but it was concluded by
the first ballot Four candidates were
nominated: General Stewart of Penn
sylVania, General John C. Black OF
Illinois, General Daniel SickIes of New
York and John McElroy of the District
of Columbia. SicIiles withdrew before
the vote was taken and he himself
seconded the nomination of Black
The first ballot resulted: Stewart
467; Black, PIP; McElroy, SO.
The corner stone of the proposed
memorial bridge across the Potomac
to connect Washington with Arlington
