mented by Spe CiaI Report.

Washington, March 6.-Prcsident
Roosevelt sent message to congress
yesterday accompanying plans for
coast defense prepared by joint board
of army and navy officers in which he
emphasized the necessity for fruther
defenses. and reviews the history of
the defensive works of the country.
The president calls special atten-
ton to the recommendation of the
board that the entrance of Chesapeake
bay he added to the list of places in
the United States to be defended.
He says the insular possessions
cannot he longer neglected if the Uni
ted States desh % to hold them. De-
lenses are recommended for Manila
bay, Pearl harbor. Guantanamo. Guam,
San Juan and Honolulu, because of
their strategic location. Defenses are
also recommended for entrances to the
Panama canal. The message says:
Our coast defenses as they existed
in 1860 We're not surpassed in etficien-
cy by those of any other country, but
within "a few years the introduction of
rit1ed cannon and armor in navies
against which smooth bore guns were
practically useless, has rendered them
obsolete.
"For many years no attempt was
made to remedy the deficiency of these
seacoast Notifications. There was no
establishment in the country equipped
for the manufacture of high power
ritied guns. There was no definite
adopted policy of coast defense, and
congress was reluctant to undertake a
work the cost of which could not he

tails had not advanced-so far as

Value OF tndiCOtt Report.

The president gives review of the
history and work Of the gun foundry
board. and of the "Endicott board, -
which considered coast defenses, and
dwellS upon the value of the Endicott
boards report, which "sets forth IA
definite and ineligible plan or policy
upon which the very important work
of defense should proceed and which
is as applicable as when formulated. 3"
improvements in the art of war,
however. have rendered some of the
plans OF the board obsolete, and the
board report omitted the cost of land
that must be purchased for fortifica-
tions and the cost of reserve ammuni-
ton. The president continues:
''The omissions in the estimates of
the Endicott board and the changes
in the details of its plans have caused
doubts in the minds of many as to
the money that will be needed to de-
fend completely our coast by guns,
mines and their adjunctS

New plans Necessary.

''New localities are pressing their
claims for defense. The insular poss-
essons cannot be held unless the prin-
cipal ports. naval bases and coaling
stations are fortified before the out
break of war. These considerations
have led me to appoints joint board of
officers of the army and navy to rec
ommend the armament, fixed and
floating. mobile tOrpedOes, submarine
mines and all other defensive appli-
ances that may he necessary to com
plete the habror defenses with the
most economical and advantageous
expenditure OF money; the board was
further instructed to extend its exam
nations so as to include estimates re-
lative t o the defenses of the insular
possessions and to recommend the
order in which the proposed defenses
shall be completed so that all the ele-
ments of harbor defense may be prop
erly and effectively co-ordinated.
1.-The board has completed its lab
ors and its report, together with let
ter of transmittal by the secretary of
war, is hereby transmitted for the in
formation of the congress.
1.-The letter of the secretary of war
contains a comparison of the estimat-
es of the Endicott board with the
amounts already appropriated for the
defenses and the estimates of the new
board. from which it appears that IA
complete defense of our coasts, omit
ting cost of ammunition and sites, can
be accomplished for less than the
amount stated by the Endicott board,
even including the additional locali-
ties not recommended by it.

 as "Thelr Majestfes,' Etc. ANNAPOLIS. Md, Jan. 19.-Hazing of q brutal nature was revealed dur ing the trial Of Midshipman Chester A. A. Bloebaum more plainly than in any of the previous proceedings. Three fourth classmen testified without the slightest hesitation that they had been hazed by Bloebaum until they were ut terly exhausted. one severe physical exercise after another being required of them until they lacked power to
 The most severe accusation was con tained in the testimony of Edgar N. Caldwell of Glasgow, Ky, who said that Bloebaum had haZed and abused him because he would not make ar engagements for BlDebaum to be intro duced to certain young lady of the fourth classman's acquaintance Bloc baum is an appointee of Congressman Champ Clark, who said recently on the floor of the house of representatives i that he would arm youth he sent to Annapolis with a Bowie knife and hatchet.
 The witnesses were clear and cer tain in their statements. Oscar C.. Green said tha' Bloebaum had stood him on his head and then ordered him to precede Midshpman De Saussure and himself and open the doors of all the fourth classmen, announcing at the same time the approach of Their majesties the Irislnan and the Black Prince" They would repeat the ques- tions. the witness said and then stand the plebe. on their heads.
 Witness Kilduff said he was hazed to the point of collapse because he had gone to Lovers lane in obedience to ! the request of a young lady. He said that Bloebaum had compelled him to stand on his head from 90 to 100 times all in rapid succession.

Abuse of President May Be Expunged From Congregational RecOrd-Mer- riment When Tillman Voted
 the Wrong Way.

 WASHINGTON, Jan. 13.-The sen
 ate galleries were crowded in anticipa-
 tion of revival of the Tillman incl
 dent.
 The feeling that Mir. Tillman would
 propose his resolution directing sen
 atorial committee to inquire into the
 Morris affair at the White House was sufficient to arouse keen popular in terest.
 It also became known that Senator Burrows had prepared resolution to
 be reported by the senate committee on rules to expunge MT. Tillman's speech against the president from the Con
 gressional Record.
 When the senate was convened MT.
 Tillman rose and offered his resolution
 and asked for its immediate consider
 ation It was as follows:
 Resolved, That the president of the senate be authorized to appoint com mittee of five senators to investigate the recent unfortunate incident at the White House, resulting in the expul- sion from the executive offices of Mrs. Minor Morris, and report to the sen ate"
 Mir. Tillman made brief explana- tion. T had not intended to go so far in this matter" said he. but the senator from Maine CMr Hale) taunted me in- to it..
 r Mir. Tillman explained that two ques- tions were involved in the resolution one the protection of the president, the other the rights of American citi- zens. Mr. Tillman said that if the con- flition of affairs at the White House were allowed to continue the rights and liberties of the people were at an end and they were living under a des- potism.
 The resolution being before the sen ate. Mir Daniel Dem., Va.) rose and moved that the resolution lie upon the table.
 When Mir. Tillman's name was reach
 ed he was silent for minute. Sud- denly he aroused. with the remark:
 "Of course I vote for my own reso- lution. I vote Yea" There was a roar of laughter from the floor as Mir. Tillman inadvertently
 voted against his own resolution. Rec ognizing his error. he called out, "No.' On the roll call the vote to lay on i the table was 54 to g. This is supposed to close the incl dent unless Senator Burrows CMich.)
 carries out his present intention of trying to expunge Mir. Tillman's speech from the Record. a s.. Poultney Bigelow, the magazine
 writer who was denounced by Secre- tary Taft for his criticism of the man. agement of canal affairs. declined to

 Primarily. the public is to blame for present conditions. To correct these conditions is more largely in the hands of the public than of city officials; but the latter may do much by bringing about such changes in city ordinances as will enable them to thoroughly con vince themselves of the desirability of d play before permitting it's presenta- tion and by having such ordinances as will enable them to order it out upon any hesitation on the part of the man. agers of rhe lnsIIpe, or of the theater managers. i'd pply with reasonable restrictions. ehould not be diffi- cult matter to cleanse the stage. The responsibility for its management is ill the hands of d few, and those few should be held strictly to account. 1t is as much a public duty to see that wholesome plays are presented as that obscene and scurrilous literature is kept out of circulation.
