Police Graft.

There has been a fresh cutlery against
police graft This time 1t comes from
Magistrate Walsh, who says:
II am informed that Frank O'Connell,
president of the Liquor Dealers associa-
ton in the West One Hundred and TWEEN
ty-ffth street precinct, collects So week
from nearly every saloonkeeper in the pre-
cinct. This money, the saloonkeepers be-
lieve, goes to Capt. Herlihy of the West
One Hundred and Twenty-fifth street sta
ton.
IVY information is that this money was
not collected for two years before Captain
Herlihy came into the precinct.
Il believe that Thomas Craemer, a sa-
loonkeeper In this district, is the subject
of police persecution by the police because
he is .one of my district captains.
New York is the widest open town on
the face of Gods green earth. Gambling
houses, poorooms and every other form
of vice and crime are given free reign.
rThe police let gamblers operate their
crooked games without interference-per-
haps with assistance
All summer evangelstic meetings have
been held on the steps of the city hall
each day The great crowds that gather
put the city officials and employees to great
Inconvenience but they said nothing until
the other day there fioated into the win
dow of Acting Mayor MeGowan's office
these words, spoken by an eX-actor who
has turned preacher:
IF the Acting Mayor of New York city
had a backbone you would not be robbed
as you are by the Brooklyn Rapid Transit
eon,pany. A Mayor with a backbone
would have ordered out the militia and
have compelled the trolley men to take
you to Coney Island for cents at the
point of the bayonet.'
Mr.. MCGOWAN thought this was breach
of hospitality, and he took pains to let the
evangelist committee know what he
thought of the incident. The Rev. DR..
Ely, the head of the movement, called on
Mr. MCGOWAN to offer an apology. Mr..
MCGOWAN told DR.. Ely that while he did
not mind so much the allusion made to
himself it was not part of preachers

Norfolk, Va, September 2. -(Speeial)-
Situated at the strategic center of the
Atlantic coastline of the United States,
the Norfolk navy yard has gathered more
historical associations recalling the naval
glory of the past century than any OF
Uncle Sans famous naval stations. For
more than 100 years the nations great
sea captains have gone forth from this
yard on the decks of ships now as famous
as themselves to almost inyariable vie
tory. England itself with a thousand
years of proud sea history to her credit,
cannot boast of as large a percentage of
victories as the navy whose past is re-
called at every step through the Norfolk
navy yard. During the life Of the James

Several Vessels Built There.


The United States navy now carries on
its official list seven ships built in the
Norfolk yard and one ship which was par
TALLY built there The battleship Texas
and the protected cruiser Raleigh are the
two latest ships to be built in the yards.
The Galveston was completed there The
old wooden ship Constellation was built
mand of the gallant Truxtum, she went
forth on the cruise in which she whipped
the French frigates LTnsurgente and La
Vengeance. The wooden ship Alliance. the
historic Richmond and the jamestown
were also built at this yard.
The part of the yard that lies on the
right bank of the river is used as a naval
training station. and there recruits to the
naval service of the United States are col
lected in great numbers and given their
first instructions in the arts of the sea-
The reservation Is known as the St Hell
ena training station. and is one of the
largest in the country. A large force of
marines is kept at the barracks of the
yard constantly. under the command of
Colonel Littleton w. r. Waller.
From dawn to twilight the yard is busy
with the hum of work and bright with
the uniforms of sailors and marines drill
ing. Nearly always there are present at
the yard four or more mighty battleships
receiving stores or having minor repairs
made. There are more than thirty large
buildings within the walls of the yard and
several smaller ones The larger buildings
are used as machine shops and earpen-
ter shops the smaller ones for various
purposes. Chains are made here. Near the
end most distant from the gate is an
enormous pile of anchors dating back to
the earliest days of the navy There are
three drydocks at the yard and a fine
wet dock or slip of sufficient width and
length to accommodate several large YES
sells at time. The oldest dock in the
yard is built of stone and bears an in
scription which recites that 1t was begun
December /. 1927 and finished June II. 1892
John Adams was President and Samuel l..
Southwark. Secretary OF the Navy when
It was begun. and Andrew jackson was
President and Levi Woodberry as Secre-
tary of the Navy when completed. 1t was
authorized by the Nineteenth Congress
and designed by Boammi Baldwin. The
dock is still in constant use, at present
accommodating five torpedo craft.

Many Famous Relics.


Although the greater part of the yards
area is on the right bank or the southern
branch of the Elizabeth river, in Ports
mouth, and only a small portion of 1t
lies in Norfolk, the yard is known as the
Norfolk navy yard to distinguish 1t from
the navy yard at Portsmouth, N. II. The
yard proper consists of 1853 ITO acres In
Portsmouth and 81 acres in Norfolk
The chief feature of interest to visitors
is the trophy park just inside the navy
yard gate. Here are gathered relics from
every part of the world. There are can
non from China, Mexico, South America,
Spain, England and from French foun-
deries. The largest as we'll as most inter-
esting trophy is "A centimetre rapid fire
rifle, complete with shield and carriage,
which was taken from Admiral Cevere' $
flagship Almirante Oquendo after the bat
tie of July 3, 1888 A lever twisted out
of shape here or a rod broken there
shows all too plainly the damage done by
American projectlles. Grouped about the
flagstaff in the center of the park are
specimens of armor from the Confeder-
ate ram Texas and the Albemarle. The
latter ship was destroyed by a torpedo
fired by Lieutenant Gushing. About the
staff are also grouped captured brass
cannon and stands of grape shot At one
side of the park are the torpedo tubes and
two torpedoes taken from the captured
Spanish cruiser Reina Mercedes during
the Spanish war.
Nearby are two guns from the famous
frigate United States and a cannon recov-
cred from the United States ship Huron,
wrecked on November "a, off the North
Carolina coast. Farther along is a Chi
nese field gun captured at Tien-Tsin dur
ing the Boxer troubles of 1900. 1t is of
crudest design and IS covered with a
wooden shield to protect its gunners from
return fire. Beside this primitive weapon
is an old Spanish cannon captured during
the Spanish war on Cayo del Toro (Bull's
Key in Guantanamo bay. The gun is of
bronze and was cast at Seville in 1901 1t
Is numbered $50. On the breech are en-
graved the Spanish royal arms and on a
ribband near the muzzie the words Of
an old Moorish proverb. 'Vitzi Ipulti."
The words are said to be prophecy of
victory

Equally interesting is the large stone
cannon ball brought from Constantine. 1t
is of perfect cantour and would fill the
muzzle of the largest gun now In exis-
tence These Turkish cannon balls are

Nearby are four carronades captured in
the war with Mexico, which bear ON their
muzzles the words "Republiea de Yucca
tan" There are four larger cannon, cap
tured from the British during the battles
on Lake Erie and Lake Champlain. Side
by side with them is a gun taken from
the British ship Java after her battle
with the Constitution off the coast of
Brazil. On the breech is carved the Brit
ish royal coat of arms.
Three Spanish contact mines picked up
by the Marblehead during the Spanish
war, now happily short of all their for
mer terrors adorn the park. OF historic
interest is the propeller shaft of the ILL
fated Cumberland and broken cannon
which once stood on the gun deck of the
United States line of battleship Pennsyl-
vania, burned to the waters edge when
