MARINE BARRACKS CROWDED
Brig. Gen. Elliott, in Report, Asks
for More Room.
Believes Men should Re Taught Ga
COOk-May Send Them to the
Army school.

Attention of the Secretary of the NAVY
is again called 10 the inadequacy Of the
barracks provided for the Marine Corps
at the Washington Navy Yard and the
cTamped conditions of the Headquarters
now occupied in the Mills Building. in the
annual report OF Brig. Gen. G. r Elliott
These barracks at the Washington
Navy Yard" says the report. are en-
tiTely inadequate for the complement nee
essary for the proper policing of the
yards. IL is not believed that sufficient
space can be found within the present
yard limits for the construction Of ade-
quate barracks and officers quarters. and
IL is, therefore. earnestly recommended
that the necessary steps be taken by the
Bureau of Yards and Docks for the DUR
chase Of land to the eastward of the pres
ent navy yard limits in order that a
proper portion thereof may be set aside
for the use of the Marine Corps"
In reference to the headquarters as
now arranged in the Mills building. the
report says.
The attention Of the department is
invited to the comments in nv last re-
port on the question of the congested
condition Of these headquarters. which
recommended that either additional space
in the Mills building be assigned 10 the
Marine Corps. or that provision be made
for the rental of ample quarters for
these headquarters somewhere in the i'm
mediate vicinity of the Navy Depart
ment"
There is also a crying need for bet
ter cooks for the Marine Corps. accord
ing 10 Gen. Elliott He wants a school
for cooks established in the corps-the
success Of the army school established
by Commissary General Sharpe having
filled the marines with envy. They have
also been filled with poorly-prepared
food, and nature is crying out i'm pro-
test. Unless Congress will provide for
the establishment Of such a school Gen
Elliott intends to avail himself of the
courtesy extended by the War Depart

school.
There are many other things that ma

police precincts Of pool rooms. houses Of
prostitution. and other illegal resorts.
This evidence Mr. Mathot proposed to ex-
tract from DIT. ParkhuTst by process Of
examination. But the clerical criminol0-
gist did not DO 50 upon the stand. and
most OF the proceedings took form Of
red hot remarks that passed between the
deputy commissioner and Frank Moss,
who is an reconnaissance.
Mr.. Moss said "A subpoena was needless

willing To- give the police department all
the information in their possession. where

almost rose from his chair. Frank Moss
leaped 20 his feet IN haste, - deny the
accusation but Magistrate Mayo inter
rUPted. To say that all this was aside from
the purpose Of the inquiry. The subpoena
had been withdrawn by mutual agree

an end.
But the matter did not end there. As
soon as the magistrate rose. Or. Park

But I've got them at my office. and I'll
send them 10 you" replied Mr. Mathot.
AfterwaTd Mr. MathOt said he did not
mean TO say that members of the So

houses OF prostitution, but that men
