that the civilization Of all its forms Of

the fighting elements Of this defence de-
pend absolutely on their hitting capacity,
and this in turn depends on the skill and
training OF the personnel using those ele-
ments."
Accordingly Mr.. Taft renews his recon-
mendation OF last year for an increase in
the artillery personnel. There is a bill
pending before the House which provides
an increase in the coast artillery personnel
of l86 officers and 5,043 enlisted men. This
increase would give the coast artillery
100 officers and 1919 men, but even this
In less than so per cent. OF the personnel
required for one manning detail OF the
defenoes already completed.
The next most important matter, Mr..
Taft declares, IL to perfect and complete
the submarine mine equipment, to COM
plete the installation of the range and
position finders and to provide for the
necessary searchlights for harbor defence
for this work place the cost at sl4 ,5l3, 0S4.
and TO this should be added the III Of
80, 082 ,66a for power plants and electrical
installations for use in connection with
both guns n mines.
Secretary Taft says that the Chesapeake
is the most important place to protect. As
conditions now are a hostile fleet, once
IL gained control of the sea, could sail I'M
molested into the bay, establish a base, have
access TO supplies of all kinds and paralyze
great railroads., all without coming under
the fire of a single gun. Tn Secretary
also points out the importance of perfect
ing the fortifca tions at the entrance TO
Long Island Sound, due 10 the fact that
they constitute the first and chief line OF
defence Of New York city.

Extracts From the Courts Opinion OF Bank.
rupt Ascher I.ans.

Judge Holt OF the United States District
Court Yesterday rendered a decision direct
inc Ascher I.ans, formerly a dealer IN
antimie furniture at 90 Seventh street,
who field a petition in bankruptcy on March
II. 1902. with liabilities 81 ,24s, and no as
sets. TO pay to his trustee in bankruptcy
s. 500 within five days. Judge Holt said:
In my opinion the evidence in this case
in relation TO the detention Of the bank
rlpt's goods at the Custom House shows
that the bankrupt was a smuRRler; the
evidence in relation TO the transaction with
lie Grand and Harrison shows that ne was
n swindler, and the general evidence in the
case shows that he is a wholly untruthful
witness, upon whose testimony no reliance
can he placed. His claim that the Govern
ment ruined him by compelling him 70 pay
Ia wfui duties il preposterous. Athough
hp probably lost money on the auction sale,
he clearly received from that sale goods
and cash amounting in value 10 at least
5000. His pretended sale Of his stock 70
his bro~ther-in-law, Kline, and the organlZa-
ton of the corporation through which he
subsequently did business were both OWL
ousIv shams. The business all the time
was his own. He has not al all ~accountad
for $500 received from the auction sale
or for the $50 obtained from Harrison
Making an allowance of say 81 $50 Tor living
expenses there remains $500 with Nhlcn
he is Justly chargeabl-. ] think on the
evidence that probably he has concealed a

the shares Of the ~lnterborough Rapid Tram
sit, ~ per cent. of the shares of the Metro
politan Street Railway Company and e6 Der
cent Of those of the Metropolitan Securities
Company.
He further declares hat in order to fur
Their their monopoly Of passenger trans
portation in Manhattan and The Bronx the
defendants had the new company incor-
porated under the business CORPORATIONS
law Of the State of New York and 80 the
holding company is not amenahlp 10 the
authority Of the State Board Of Railroad
commissioners and that the only object
in e~fcctlng the merger was 70 get this
monopoly is s1own he says, by the fact hat
no payment was made for the shares Of the
three component companies. the stock
holders being credited with stock in tho
holding company at a rate fixed by the
defendants.
Burroughs declares that whereas, before
the merger was effected, his 400 shares IN
the Metropolitan Securities Company could
have been sold AT a good price on the stock
Exchange. their vaNIe has been 40 seriously
depressed that nc cannot realize on them
without a large loss.

FORMER GOVERNOR MOSES DEAD.
Remarkable Criminal Career 81 Man Once
HOnOred In South Carolina.

BosroN, Dec. Il.-Ex-Gov. Franklin j.
Moses OF South Carolina was found dead
in bed this morning at the home Of Henry
Hamilton, Winthrop Beach, where he
roomed. Gas escaping from a small stove
had ~asphyxiated him. He had lately been
employed with a financial concern in Boston.
DR.. Francis A. Harris, the medical ex-
aminer, held an inquiry and decided that
Gov. Moses came to his death by accident.
No man ever started in life with brighter
prospects and ended more inGloriously
than Moses. He was born sixty years
ago in South Carolina, the son of the Chief
Justice of the Supreme Court Of that State,
who was a man of wealth and social dis
tinction. He graduated with high honors
from Columbia College. and in 1859, as the
private secretary of Gov. Piokens, was
deputed to hoist the Palmetto flag of his
native State over the rui 3 of Fort Sumter.
He served Throughout the war in the
Confederate army, as did his father. and
when the war was over they both mounted
to positions of influence by accepting the
reconstruction acts and the then new order
of things in the South.
The father became Chief Justice of the
Supreme Court, in which office he died
while the son became a member of the
State Legislature. then Speaker of the
House, and in 1870, Governor of the State,
succeeding Gen. X. X. Scott. who wastried
for murder in Ohio in 1881.
As Speaker of the House, il he wanted
money, horses, anything, he demanded
them Of the men who sued his legislative
influence, and got them. Re procured the
enactment of a law while Speaker, which
gave him. in that capacity, unlimited power
TO draw on the State Treasury, and from
that day his warrants, taking precedence
Of all others, were issued with profiigacy.
He owned a money mill" Having issued
s.. 900, 900 in pay certificates" as Speaker,
il was obvious that Gov. Moses would rule
the State with all the extra vagance that
he had shown in his less influential position.
He seemed utterly devoid Of moral sense.
He levied toll upon every public and private
legislative measure with money il" which
I required his signature. IL il a matter
! of record that a claim OF a banking com
pany for SlOO, 900 could not be made valid
by Moses signature until $4,000 had been
paid to him.
Moses has served numerous short terms
for fraud and theft in New York. Detroit
and Boston.
Gov. Moses has a son. a marine in the
United States Navy, now in Panama.
