Asked as to the rank Of these officers Mr.
Prince said there were three lieutenant
generals, twenty-one major generals, 245
hrigadior generals seventv-siN colonies,
seventy lieutenant colonies. 226 majors
siSty-nlne captains. hfty-five first leuten-
ants. eleven second lieutenants sixteen
chaplain majors and eleven chaplain cap
tains.
There had been sixty-two brigadier gem
erals who served for one day i'm that rank
and were then retired. from January l. 1902
to January /. 1895. "And." he continued
II am inclined to think the moving picture
is going on today at the same rate. One
days service was giving unearned money
TO these officers" continued Mi. Prince.
"All officers have to do is to mark time.
knowing they will be retired at higher
rank"
THE gentleman. II seems to me. has
shown a very Outrageous abuse of power
and privilege on the part of someone"
INTERCEPTED Mr.. Lawrence Mass j. WHO
is it makes the promouons?' he asked.
''The president has the right and is the
only one who has the right to make the
promotions and the senate. confirms Them
replied Mr.. Prince.
Mr. Prince pictured these officers with
one hand on the flag and the other in the
treasury getting money they have not
earned"
snip subsidy was discussed for an hour
by Mr.. Gilbert of Kentucky. who took the
position which he maintained against many
contrary statements by Messrs. Grosvenor
and Littlefeld. that ships could be built
as cheaply in this country as abroad
Mr.. Gilbert asserted that the United
States possessed the finest merchant marine
heet of any nation. In this he included
the 1856 ships of Morgan & Co. ownership,
sailed under the British and German flags
Asked to explain this. he quoted English
and German law to the effect that shipping
was not entitled to the protection of those
countries unless completely owned by their
subjects, Should trouble come the Morgan
ships would have to be protected by the
American flag.
Such bills as the ship subsidy bill, he
said were always drawn in the interest
of the shipping trust" and the million
aires. Eighty-four Atlantic steamships
would get total OF sS5o41, while 62s sail
ing vessels with more than double the ton
mage would get but $685.
When Mr.. Grosvenor took the floor he
was greeted with prolonged applause from
both sides of the house, 1t being understood
as an expression of regret at Mr.. Grosve-
nors failure of denomination.
Mr. Grosvenor, after paying his respects
to Mr. Gilbert, concluded his speech with
vigorous protest against the provision
of the army bill abolishing the grade of
lieutenant general. He declared he should
make point of order against the provision
and for the reason that 1t would shut out
General Corbin, whose services as a soldier
he reviewed at some length. 1t would also
bar General Macarthur.
The debate concluded with a breezy dis
cussion of the Payne bill to abolish customs
districts.
The house adjourned at sos o'clock. hav-
ing finished the general debate on the army
bill.

movement against graft is not movement
against wealth, but against the abuses OF
wealth. The distinguishing characteristic
of this crusade for higher ideals In public
life and private business is the conserva-
tism OF the people. The people do not OPP
pose riches honestly acquired, but they do
object to the abuses whereby some obtain
great riches. They encourage legitimate
tons that obey the law but demand that
corporations obey the law just like anyone
else. They demand that the corporal ton
magnate respect the law that governs the
conduct OF the corporation as he asks
others TO respect the law that protects the
property of the corporation. The anarchy
of ca pital breeding lawlessness IL no more
to be countenanced than the anarchy OF
labor breeding riot and disorder Tho peo-
pie oppose the artificial ways in which
many immense fortunes have been ac-
cumulated. The laws of nature cannot be
forever disobeyed without bringing disaster
II il is right to put a stop to Official
grating and place stripes on the official
boodlers with their thousands gained un-
lawfully, II it is right to break up the
grating of the insurance gang with their
honestly acquired. Is II not right TO stamp
out the monopoly Rrafters. the tariff graft
ers with their millions Of i'll gotten wealth
wrung from the people by means of spe-
cial privileges given them by the law?
A new born American patriotism must
set it's face against this policy. LOCALIZED
graft and subsidized legislation are twin
stock. They stand or fall together. and
until they are simultaneously attacked II
will be idle TO hope TO prevail against
either.

MIR. Prince Criticixes Practice of Pro-
noting and Retiring Officers.
WASHINGTON, Feb. e2.-The house OF
representa- tives refused TO adjourn In cell
ebration of Washington's birthday and its
members participated in a general field
day Of debate on the army appropriation
bill
The speeches took a wide range. First
the system OF promoting and retiring army
officers was attacked by MIR. Prince Qll),
who ELECTED many INTERCEPTED comments
from members In disapproVal of the
methods, for which he said the president
and senate were responsible, and which nc
pointed out has resulted in a retired list
costing yearly $4,000, consisting of ON
GERS who, he said, were holding the flag
With one hand while the other was in
the treasury for money that had never
been earned.
An exhaustive discussion OF ship subsidy
was made by MIR. Gilbert Ky, who de-
elared the American merchant marine Is
now the finest of any nation and included
1876 Morgan ships under the British and
German flags. In case of war lie said their
only protection would be the United
States, wherein belonged their owners and
the capital invested.
General debate on the army bill was ax.
hausted and that measure will be read
for amendment when the house meets to-
morrow.
Mr.. Prince ulI) was the first speaker
lie criticised the system by which Il was
possible to have such a large number ot
ofneers on the retired list. with an army
Of $3.50, he said. there were now 800
officers on the retired list drawing an av.

In every community there are many
who are willing thus to do. but faint

couraged by our lethargy have yielded TO
the current and drifted with the times INES:
won with our cooperation, many who
have judged us by our works and found

our limitations and realizing our infrmi-

simple but sublime structure of our fathers,
which purified by the fires rekindled upon
the affairs of equality and justice shall
protect the least as feeling it's care and

It's cower?'
The commencement, If not the accom-
plishment, of this grave task rests upon
the men of today. We cannot perform II
Vica riously. We must meet or eYade IL,

neither stagnate nor potrify. They must

A considerable reduction in the pOpu-

by the Territorial grand jury which
We're presented to a hard-looking crowd
of defendants in Judge Lindsay's court
this morning, The interpreters of Jap
anese, Hawaiian, Porto Rican and Chi
lnese took turns in reading indictments
which charged burglary and larceny in
T various degrees.
Juanita Ramon and Pacheco We're
jointly indicted for a burglary in Eva,
August 81. They pleaded not guilty
and Judge Lindsay assigned w. H.
Smith to defend them.
Shujioka pleaded guilty to larceny of
a valuable watch and other property
from the premises of Queen Liliuoka-
lani, where he was formerly a servant.
Then he said he didn't do it, Il did
not take the things" he said. "I could
not find the man who took them, so
have to suffer.
Deputy Attorney General Fleming
cross-examined the prisoner a bit, and
his story didn't seem to impress the
court Judge Lindsay gave a sentence
of two years hard labor could I ap-
peal again." the Jap asked as soon as
he heard the heavy sentence. Judge
Lindsay assured him that he could hire
lawyer and appeal to the Supreme
Court of the United States If he wish
ed. In the meantime Jail Is the place
for Shujioka.
Kahahawai pleaded not guilty of
burglary. He said he proposed to get
W. o. Smith to defend him, and his
case was postponed to give him time to
get Smith.
