Attorney Dunno Decides Sewalrs Crew
List Unnecessary.

United States Attorney Dunno has
handed an opinion to Collector Stack
able regarding the penalizing Of Cap
tain Halsted for failing to hand the
original crew list of the ship BENJAMIN
Sewall over to the collector. The opi-
Mon is to the effect that no penalty
should be levied as it was through no
fault of Captain Halsted that the list
could not be supplied.
1t appears that the last American port
the Sewall cleared from was Baltimore.
Md. four years ago. Until December
", 1900 the vessel was in command of
Captain Arthur H. Sewall but on that
date Captain Halsted took command at
the Victoria colony of Hong Kong.
subsequently, when the vessel reached
Port Townsend from Hong Kong colony
captain Sewall removed his various pa
pers which had been left by him on the
vessel. Among them was the original
crew list
Mr.. Dunno holds that Captain Hal
sted has done all in his power to COM
ply with the legal requirements and the
inability to produce the original crew
list, as II required by United States
law, is through no fault of Captain Hal
sted. The BENJAMIN SewaII will prob
ably be allowed to sail to FreemantIe
Australia, today or tomorrow.

Church. Already preparations arc be-
Jog made for the entertainments of the
conference. Its session will be held
as Trinity Church, Rev O. M. Haw-
kins. pastor.
The gathering will be more than us
ually interesting. The pastors are
deeply concerned in the changes which
will be made at the time by virtue OF
the time limit of four years.
AS the custom in the Metho dist
Episcopal Church South is to leave
he matter ct appointments 10 the
bands OF the bishop and the presiding
elders, whose meetings at conference
time determine where the pa stors are
to be sent for the year, there is con-
siderable speculatio0s, bat little Ia
formation concerning who are TO be
the new pastors of the congregations
that are TO receive such, or where the
men ale to be sent who must change
by the time limit.
The custom of letting the matter
OF appointments rest with the bishop
and his advisors has been Que that
the Southern Methodist Chr CHI has
insisted upon. and is disposed to
make more rigid in the future tnar
III the re cenr past. There is quite a
prejudice in that church agaiost
preachers receiving private calls guc
accepting the same, leaving the bish-
Oh at conference to confirm the ar-
raugement matte between pastors and
congregations.
Anotbel reason whv the conference
soon to be held is interesting above
the ordinary. is that the delegates
must be elected at this time to the
General Conference of the Southern
Methodist Church in Dallas, Tex. in
Nav of this year.
Bishop Charles B. Galloway, Of

FAvoRs TARGET PRACTICE.
President Roosevels Heartily I'm
dorses Thfs Feature OF Trnan-
Ing the Navy.

President Roosevelt Is taking keen
interest in naval target practice. He
has been furnished copies OF recent
reports OF the work OF the men be-
hind the guns, and has instructed the
naval ordnance officers 70 do every
thing in their power to keep up the
supply Of ammunition This item Is a
large one. and during the present year
viii cost the government $500 600. The
instructions are 10 have vessels which
are laid up for repairs thoroughly
overhauled, supplied with new gun
carriages, power ammunition hoists,
etc, and maintain the efficiency of the
gun crews.
II has been planned the target prac-
ticc on board ships-of-war shall be
kept up under oil the conditions which
correspond in any way with actual
conflict.
President Roosevelt sent for Rear
Admiral O'Neil, chief Of ordnance the
other day and talked over the sub iect
Of target practice. telling him that
the navy must have plenty OF work Lei
that line. Admiral O'Neil explained
that such policy would be expensive,
whereupon the president said: "Then
you must have more MEANS" ADMIRAL
0'Neil explained that constant prac-
tiee would wear out the guns. and the
president retorted .'We must keep
up the practice even II the gums do
wear out, and then get new ones when
II becomes necessary"
This attitude OF the president on the
important matter Of target practice
has been communicated to congress.
and has had much effect on those who
are framing the naval appropriation
bill. It ~ possible that the usual APP
pronriation Of $5oo,oOo win be mate-
rally increased SO as 20 give $500 coo
for the target practice alone.
