THE BOOKS
JUDGE JONES WAS ASKED TO Is- SUE ORDER TO CHEMICAL
 COMPANY.
On Petition of e Casualty Company, UaIted States Court Directs vIR- ginIa-CaFelima Company To
 Prodnce Hfs Records.

Papers in anciflary proceedings in an equity suit. which had it's origin in the Federal courts of New Jersey, were filed yesterday in the ofice of the clerk of the United States Court here. by the United States Casualty Company. New York corporation. against the Virginia Carolina Chemical Company, a New Jer- sev corporation, which does a large bus 1 mess In Alabama and other Southern States.
 Upon the filing of these papers. Judge Thomas G. Jones was asked to issue an order, heretofore Issued by New Jersey court, restraining the defendant from removing or destroying certain books. alleged by the complainant to be tm- portant to the case.
 The complainant alleges false returns on the part of tho Virginia Carolina Chemical Company, under a contract which the complainant had with the de- fendant for indemnity accident tnsur- anee for all employees of the Chemical Company. According to the contract the amount of premium to be paid by the defendant was based on the num- ber of employees and the salary receIved by each. It is alleged that many names the number of employees and their sal- aries were, in instances. incorrect. thereby causing the Casualty Company loss. This, it is represented, occurred during a period from 1898 to 1908.
 All books. therefore. bearing upon the number of employees and their sal- aries. arc deemed important by the complainant and the court has ordered them held pending the outcome of the proceedings.
 The complaint prays the court to re. auire an accounting from the Chemical Company, prays for recovery of the losses alleged to have been sustained by the Casualty Company and askS for the restraining order to secure the holding of the books.
 The voluminous documents were filed in the Federal court by Frank H. som- ner and Joseph Kahrs, attorneys of North Carolina. A large part of the pa~ per is devoted to interrogatories to which the Chemical Company Is cited to appear and answer February ', 1901.
 The Chemical Company has branches in Alabama. North Carolina. South Car olina, Georgia, Virginia, Maryland and Tennessee, In all of which States similar proceedings have been brought.
 Papers were served by the United States marshal last night on the loca! agent of the defendant corporation

 To begin with. he remembered seeing some time ago a buggy and. harness at the Loeb Carriage and Supply Com pany, which pleased his wife very much, and the price being reasonable he is going to make his better half an agreeable surprise by presenting her with this turnout in which he includ- ed a good Chase Laprobe. Next he bought three riding saddles for his eldest boys, having found a Texas. Mcclellan and 8 Spring Seat which ks knows will suit them. For the younger boy he bought a wagon and goat har- ness. For the girls, who are fond of outdoor exercise. he bought each a la dies saddle, one to ride asride for the youngest girl. He did not forget hls al and bought for each a good. warm Blanket. He then felt pleased with himself, feeling that everyone at his house would be suited and for himself, like a practical farmer that he is, ho bought several Oliver Flows, which, as everyone knows are the best Flows on earth
 Most any family, whether large or small, could be suited at the Loeb Car riage and Supply Company, in the way of useful Christmas presents.

Message On Navy Calls For Younger
 Captains Aud Adnllrals.
 To the Senate and House of Represen-
 In my last three annual messages, have invited the attention of the Con gress to the urgent necessity of such Legislation as will cause officers of the line of the navy to reach the grades of captain and rear admiral at less ad- vanced ages and will give them more experience and training in the impor- tant duties of those grades
 Under the present archaic system of promotion, without parallel in the navy of any other first class power, cap tains are commissioned at the average age of fifty-six and rear admirals at inc average age of sixty. This sys- tenn is the result of long continued rpreiudice in favor of a method of pro- motion by which all ileutenants in orr der of senority pass through the sew eral grades until they eventually bee come rear admirals a method which sacrifices the good of the service to inc interest of individual medioerity.
 As A direct consequence of the exist ing method naval officers obtain more than ample experience in subordinate nositions' but have a limited and inade- ouate experience as captains in com mand of battleshlps and as flag offi- cers in charge of fleets and squadrons, that is. in the very positions of great est responsibility where experience. skin and initiative are essential to efficiency.
 Must Have Effective Personal.
 History. modern and ancient has ln- variably shown that an efficient per sonnel is the greatest factor toward an effective navy. No matter how well equipped in other respects navy may be, though it's fleet may be composed of powerful high speed battleships, nla- neuvored by practical tactics based up on inc latest development of naval science vet it Is grievously handi- capped if directed by admirals and captains who lack experience in the du- LsA and who are hampered by lonE
