COURT-MARTIAL TO BE HELD.
~
Proceedings to Be Instituted Against
Officers of the Culgoa.

Court-marial proceedings against certain
officers of the supply ship Culgoa, now
cruising In the southern West Indies, are
to be instituted by the Navy Department,
it is said, as result Of the recent inves-
tigation by naval court Of inquiry of the
collision between the Culgoa and merchant
schooner Wilson and Hunting off Barnegat,
N. j., last November. That collision re-
suited in the total loss Of the merchantmen
and the drowning Of the captain and his
wife and two members Of the crew.
The report of the court Of inquiry has
been under consideration by the Judge ad-
vocate general of the navy for several
weeks past. Although the findings Of the
court have not been made public 1t is gen.
orally understood that the court reported
that the circumstances surrounding the COL
lision justified further proceedings against
the officers in charge Of the naval vessel at
the time. It is said that the merchant
man had all her lights displayed and was
run down from behind.
Action by the Navy Department is sus-
pended pending the return of the Culgoa
to the United States. Lieut.. Commander
Robert NJ. Doyle is in command of the
Culgoa.

Commissioner Macfarland has gone on
record as opposed to amending the present

new phase today when more than a score
or men who are believed to have placed
bets in pool rooms, together with the own
ers OF several warehouses located near the
section where gambling houses have

100 subpoenas. many OF them issued in the
name or prisoners taken In recent pool

RAILWAY LEGISLATION
STRUGGLE FOR IT has COM
MENCED IN EARNEST.

The struggle for railway rate legislation
has commenced in earnest. The railways
have awakened to the fact that there is
existent In at least one branch Of Con-
gress sentiment favorable to such legisla-
tion. It Is true that the sentiment is In
definite and vague as to the extent and
scope Of the legislation, but 1t Is there and
Is susceptible Of being crystallized into leg
islative enactment.
1t Is contended that the rank and file sof
members OF the two houses are not posted
upon the subject of railway abuses and the
legal remedies therefor. They hear the
clamor OF shippers for relief, are aware
that Gin the air" there is agitation Of the
subject of railway rates, rebates and dis
crimina tions, and get the idea that there is
widespread public demand for legislation.
A few men in the House and Senate have
made study of these subjects for years.
Some have regarded them from the view
point solely OF the railroads and their in
terests. They make no concealment OF
that fact. Others have been looking into
the questions from the standpoint of the
shippers.
classes Of men to look at the subject from
a viewpoint which will bring agreement to
the proposition that abuses exist ana
unanimity in offering a remedy? 1t IS
somewhat rash to answer that question IN
the affirmative Just now. For the next
two or three weeks many efforts Will oe
bent to that end discouraging as the pros
poets Of success appear now.
In the meantime the railways have enter
ed upon a propaganda of education In De-
half of their contentious Following re-
cent conferences Of railway presidents in
New York and elsewhere. 1t was determined
to lose no time in putting the railway side
of the question before Congress, the pub
lie and the press. This Is being done by
daily communications which in temperate.
moderate and argumentative way cndcav-
ors to give an ex parte statement OF the
case for the railways. Starting out with
the definite proposition that the railways
will never consent to let outsiders f1X the
rate which the roads may charge. they
proceed to lengthy arguments to sustain
their position.
In a recent communication from railway
sources the following propositions are set
down:
'First-The shippers demand equitable
and reasonable rates. They have them.
'Second-Rebates must be abolished.
Well, why ane they not? No more string
the books. There are provisions for in
functions, trials. imprisonments and all
that It's up to the government now. and
with all the laws needed, to stop them.
"Third-PriVate carssHnes. Sure, wipe
them out, coptrol them crush them. The
railroads do not object. They want 1t done.
Put them under the jurisdiction of the in
terstate commerce commission.
"Fourth-Terminal railroad charges. The
interstate commerce commission can stop
this abuse and is doing it.
1.-THE bills now before Congress will not
stop rebates, regulate private cars or ter
minal roads. They provide only that
rate-making power be given the interstate
commerce commission when its own reports
show 1t is unnecessary"

NO cANTEEN LEGISLATION.
Chairman Hull's Announcement After
Hearing Today.


On behalf of the Woman's Army and
Navy League. Mrs. Josephine Kelton,
widow of Adjt. Gen. j. C. Kelton, today
presented a petition to the Senate COM
mittee on military affairs in the interest of
the re-establishment Of so much of the
canteen permits the sale Of beer at
army posts. The petition was signed by
800 ladies, most of whom are related to
officers of the army and navy, including
Mrs. Chaffee, Mrs. Schley and Mrs. Samp-
son.
Mrs. Kelton said the ladies spoke from
personal experience as to the beneficial ef-
fects of the canteen. AS women We ad-
mire the Woman's Christian Temperance
Union," she said, "and we think they are
doing a wonderful work in the country at
large, but we believe that they do not un-
derstand conditions in the army, and are
therefore not as capable of advising In this
matter as they might be In others" She
said that desertions in the army fell off
80 per cent after the establishment of the
canteen.
There will be no anti-canteen legislation
at this session of Congress. Chairman Hull
of the House committee on military affairs
made that declaration this morning in the
course of a hearing at which Secretary of
War Taft was the chief figure. Mr.. Hull
declared, however, that the committee was
entirely in sympathy with the movement
for the repeal Of the law, which had worked
to the detriment of the military service,
and as result 1t is predicted that the cam
teen law now on the statute books will be
repealed at the next session of Congress.
Mr.. Hull made the statement to Mrs Kel-
ton, who appeared before the House COM
mittee also. and interrupted Secretary
Taft's testimony in order to do SO. He
apologized to the Secretary later for the
interruption, but Mr.. Taft said that he
would like TO be interrupted a hundred
times for the privilege of hearing such wise
sentiment expressed by influential members
of the House.

BRITISH SYSTEM ADOPTED.
The Two-Arm semaphere Alphabet to
Be Used by the NAVY.

AS a result of comprehensive experiments
in the naval service, principally on vessels
Of the Asiatic fleet, the Navy Department
has adopted the two arm semaphore all
phabet." otherwise known as the British
naval signal system. AS the British system
is now employed in all the other principal
navies, its adoption by the United States
navy makes 1t universal. The newly
adopted alphabet has been printed with
illustrations. and 10000 copies will be dis
tributed so that every seaman in the navy
may have one and thus become thoroughly
familiar with the new system. Heretofore
the navy has been using at different times
what are known as the three-arm and four
arm semaphore alphabets, and they have
now been both displaced in favor of the
simpler and more universal two-arm
system.

RUSSIA'S RECENT NOTE
CHINA'S CONSTRUCTION OF SEC
RETARY HAYS LETTER.
Not Intended to Confirm Accuracy Of
Russian Complaints, but Enjoin-
ing Neutral Preservation.

A cablegram from Peking today
ayers that the Chinese government
IS ignorant Of any specific charges
of violations of neutrality as indi-
Gated in Russia's note to the
powers. Diplomats in the Chinese
capital believe that China has been
sincere in efforts to preserve nett
trality, all reports to the contrary
notwithstanding.
Criticism is made of Russia's s al
legged effort to smuggle arms
through Chinese territory.
PEKING, January 19.-With reference to
the Russian circular note to the powers
on the subject of Chinese neutrality,
which at present is unanswered, the Chi
nese government complains that it has re-
ceived communication from Russia and
consequently is ignorant of the specific
charges.
Immediately after China is acquainted
with the contents of the Russian note the
government will reply.
Secretary Hays communication to China
is looked upon here as not intended to con-
firm the accuracy of the Russian COM
plants, but as merely recommending the
preservation of China's neutrality
China's Efforts Regarded Sincere.
1t is generally considered in diplomatic
circles here that China has made genuine
and persistent efforts to preserve neutral
1ty, that neither the Russians nor the Japa-
nese have any grounds to complain, and
that 1t Is unfair TO saddle China with re-
sponsibility for the action of Chinese ban
dts and similar cases.
The recent Russian attempt to smuggle
arms through Chinese territory is pointed
to as proof that Russia is ready to disre-
gard Chnas rights when it suits her to
do so. The question of China's neutrality
is not associated here with the possibility
of an anti-foreign movement
