NAVAL Men
I ARE SCORED.
Hepburn In Congress Cites
Accident to Warshisps Only
Eight Cases in Forty Years.

WASHINGTON, May IL. During
the consideration of the naval appro-
priation bill by ~theshouse Mr.. Hepburn
Of iowa. who has been relentless in his
structures upon the efficiency of the
navy. took occasion to reply to a speech
made by Mr. Weeks of Massachusetts,
in which the latter stated that there
had been but thirty-seven courts mar
tial in forty-one years growing out Of
accidents and loss of ships. Mr.. Weeks
reviewed the accidents in the past forty
years to naval vessels. which he stated
was a complete record"
TO this Mr.. Hepburn took decided ex-
ception. He said Mr.. Weeks total was
wholly incorrect and that 1t did not
include accidents to the more expensive
vessels of modern date. He cited the
accident that happened recently to the
battleship Rhode Island while going
into York river. Certainly If there Is
any position, any port said Mr.. Hep
burn, 'of our navigable waters that the
navy and the officers of the navy ought
to be familiar with it should be that
historic port. They ought to be able
to get in and out there
He recalled the attempt of u squad
ron to get out of the port of New York,
succeeding partially in doing it, run
ming two of the vessels in the mud and
getting the other two into dangerous
collisions.
He recalled the incident in which he
said Admiral Sigsbee ran his vessel
into a dock in New York harbor and
remarked, zone would suppose that
these gentlemen would be familiar with
such waters"
These are but a few instances of in
efficiency, of incapacity, to handle these
great vessels. We are spending mil
lions of dollars to build up a great
navy. l think it is the part of patri-
otism to do this, but there ought to be
some guarantee, ONE assurance, that
when we secure such vessels, they will
not be recklessly destroyed by incom-
potency and inefficiency."
He then had read the rebuke admins
tered by Acting Secretary Newberry to
the court of inquiry which recently
tried Lieutenant John A. Schofie]d, U.
S. N, for the lightness of the sentence
imposed by his companions in arms
and cited this instance as proof of his
position that justice was not meted out
to those who failed in doing their sim
pie duty.
Mr.. Weeks of Massachusetts, replied
by saying that if the gentleman from
Iowa had made as exhaustive an inyes-
tigation of the subject as he had he
would find that there have been Just
eight such cases in the last forty years.

The Journeymen's View.

The journeymen carpenters say
that they are not going to worry
about the affair and that while they
would like to see the trouble finished,
they can hold off as long as the
bosses, as they claimthey have plen-
ty of work in other cities.
Because a number of the bosses
have worked on buildings through
out this city where the carpenters are
on a strike, the buildings have been
declared unfair and yesterday after
noon the masons and bricklayers and
other trades, who were doing work
on them. were called off. 1t is the
intention of the Building Trades
Council to call off all men, it is said.

Accompanying the circular Is a COM

quotations of the best writer's on

be memorized by the pupils.
Professor Baxter said yesterday
that the public schools are giving too
much attention to war and the mill
tary spirit. In many instances, he de-
clared, patriotism was being looked
upon merely as the elevation of one
nation at the expense of another.
School histories, many of them, he
insisted, devoted entirely too much
space to the study of war.
Professor Baxter emphasized the
fact that the time had come to teach
the significance of the victories of
peace.

Wealthy Denver Woman Provides Fuel
for the Unfortunate.

Denver-By her will Mrs Belle B.
Edwards, the eccentric aged woman
who died recently, has left the bulk of
her fortune for the purchase of fuel
for the poor of this city.
The International Trust company is

$4,000, and each year is to pay the
income to the First Church of Christ
Scientist.
The directors of this church are to
use the money, as stated, to keep the
poor of Denver warm during the win
ter.
Mrs. Edwards was the widow of Odd
Edwards, who died several years ago.
After her husbands death she erected
a magnificent mausoleum in Fair
mount cemetery, where his remain
were deposited.
Like the man in Brooklyn, N. Y,
who was so faithful to the memory OF
his dead wife, Mrs. Edwards used to
sit in the tomb day after day keeping
it Immediately clean with dust brush
and broom and attending carefully tc
the flowers about the place.
She is to rest beside her husband
Her will provides that the incom
from 81 1000 of her estate shall be de
voted to the maintenance OF the
mausoleum and that the key shall be
deposited with the International Trust
company.
She directs that the tomb shall
never be unlocked except when it is
absolutely necessary to make repairs.
