MORTON REBUKES
"PULL' IN NAVY.
Secretary Declares Cadets Must
j. Take Assignments in Reg
ular Order. 81

Washington, Dec. Merit, and not
political influence or official prestige
should alone determine assignments to
duty in the navy, in the opinion of Sec:
rotary Morton. The secretary today
addressed letter to Superintendent
Browson of the naval academy ex
pressing his emphatic disapproval of
the efforts to influence the department
in the assignment Of midshipmen from
the class soon to be graduated to GER
tain ships. The. letter reads:
Officials Are Approached. ~
"The department has been an.
preached in various ways, directly and
indirectly, by influences seeking to con.
troll the assignment of midshipmen, sin
ely, or in groups, from the class about
to be graduated from the naval acad-
envy, to certain ships which they, or
their friends, have been pleased to
specify. ....-.
1.-The department does not hesitate
to express its disapproval of the spirit
thus evidenced before even the begin
ming OF an active career in the service
which seeks to secure duty in accord
ance with Individual preferences rather
than the good of the service, as inter
preted by the department s order.
Violation of Principle.
"The department is Of the opinion
that the young gentlemen referred to
are not fully aware of the. gravity of
the. attack made by such; requests on
the principle involved-that the indi.
vidual exists for the good of the, ser
vice, not the service for the individ-
ual-and they should be warned that
the department. will regard with dis
favor the bringing Of any influence, Of
fetal, political or social, seeking to con
troll or divert in their behalf its orders
to duty.' ~
The secretary has repeatedly refused
to intervene in the regular assignment
OF officers prepared by Rear Admiral
Converse, chief of the bureau of navi-
cation, and this, he declares, will con
tinue to be his policy. The department
has full support of the president in it's
p0sition

Mr.. Hoida1e thereupon stated, accord

take the initiative.
The correspondent of the st. Paul

evidence to justify an arrest, and on
this assumption proceeded to criticize
him for not making the complaint him.

About to Be Fired.
Special to The Journal.

Fort Dodge, Iowa, Dec. IA farm
RS wife, who lives. south Of Yetter,
discovered the six Jolley bank robbers
in a strawstack last night, about dark,
and posse was organized, surrounded
the stack and ordered the robbers ito
surrender. Three men came out, declar-
ing they were all there were, and the
posse divided, taking the men to Yet
ter and leaving guard at the stack.
The guard made another demand on
the remaining men to come. out, and,
refusing, the owner ordered his stack
fired. Three men emerged as a match
was applied. The remainder of the
gang was then taken to Rockwell City
by the sheriff, who had been notified. q
A team was found a short distance
from the@stack and identified as the
stolen rig from Jolley, and there is no
doubt that the right men have been
captured. One man was recognized as
having been in the Rockwell jail in
October for completely in a shooting
scrape. Five Of the men gave their
names, but the sixth, young man, sup
pssed to be the leader, refused. The
men range in age from 25 to 40. Three

sequent to the act of March IA 1900 Thia
act contained provisions empowering the
controller of the currency, with the sane
ton Of the secretary Of the treasury. to
authorize, under certain; conditions. the
incorporation Of national banking ascot
atfons, with a minimum Of capital of
5000, reduced the annual tax on ma
tlonal bank circulation, secured by the ?
per cent consols of 1880, from 1 per cent
to ~ per cent, and authorized associations
70 issue circulating notes to the amount
of the par value Of the security bonds. @1-
Under authority of the act Of March "a
1900, and from that date to Sept. 80, 1904.
there were Incorporated and Chartered
,4i3 banks, with Individual capital of less
IMAM $4,000, the average being but slight
~ IN excess of $4,000; and during the
same period 740 banks, with individual
otaa OF soo'ooo or more, were incorpor-
ated, making the total number of char
ters issued in this period 2,153.
IN the year ended Sept. 80, 1904 445
banks, with aggregate capital of $2O769,-
SUI, were chartered, of which 3O3, with,
capital of 500, were organized under
autnor1ty OF the act Of March IA, 1900.
Inc remaining 142, with capital of So
200, were banks organized under the
act OF 1854 and with individual capital Of
$4,000 or more.
The actual failures of national banks
during the year from Sept. 80, 1908. to
Sept 80, 1904, numbered twenty-one. The
capital involved, however, was only

temporarily in charge of receivers. but
their assets having been placed in a. salts
factory condition, the receivers were dis
charged and the banks permitted to re-
sumo business The number of voluntary

closed In this manner was $32,635, 900.
Drawback.
Upon the matter Of drawback the
secretary says:
Wise provision has been made for the
expectation, with. benefit of drawback, Of
imported merchandise and of manufac-
lures. composed in whole or in part Of i'm
ported material. The treasury depart
ment has endeavored in every feasible
way to, simplify the application of this
privilege and to make it's operation prac-
tlcaDle. Many difficulties exist, however,
annoying to exporters, which can be re-
moved only by legislation. I therefore
recommend the careful reconstruction of
the drawback laws with a view to their
slmplification, and especially that of the
privilege OF drawback to extend to barrels,
boxes, cans and other receptacles, tho
imported in completed form, when ex-
ported filled with American food products
A carefully safeguarded system Of sub
stltution similar to that now in operation
In France would undoubtedly increase to
some extent our export trade. Several
other extensions Of this privilege could,
in my Judgment, be wisely made am
also of the, opinion that in applying these
laws. greater discretion could he safely
lodged with the secretary of the treasury
the exercise of which would overcome
many. unforeseen difficulties and frequent
technical obstacles.
