ONLY 8 CASES IN 40 YEARS
Member From Iowa SarcastiCally
Refers to Accidents at York
River and N. Y. HarbOr.

WASHINGTON. May II. - During
the consideration of the naval appro-
prlation bill by the house Mr.. Hepburn
of Iowa, who has been relentless In his
structures upon the efficiency of the
navy, took occasion to reply to Il speech
made by MIR Weeks of Massachusetts,
in which the latter stated that there
had been but thirty-seven courts mar
tlal in rorV-onc 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 complete record"
10 this MIR. Hepburn took decided ex-
cepti0n. He said Mr. Weeks total was
wholly Incorrect aud thut it did not
include accidents to tile more expensive
vessels Of modern date He cited the
accident that happened recently 10 the
battleship Rhode Island while going
into York river Certainly il there is

burn, "of our nayigable waters that the
navy and the officers OF the navy ought
to be familiar with 1t should be that

to get in and out there.
He recalled the attempt Of our 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 dock in New York harbor and
remarked "One would suppose that
these gentlemen would be familiar with
such waters"
These are but few instances Of in
efficiency, Of lncapacity, TO handle these
great vessels We are spending mil
iOus OF dollars to build up great
navy. | think It is the part Of patri-
otism 10 do this, but there ought 10 be
some guarantee. some assurance, that
when we secure such vessels they will

potency and inefticlency."
He said he thought the gentleman
from Massachusetts air Weeks had
criticised him with some ascerbity he
cause he (Mr Hepburn had said that
there was not proper punishment met
eel out to those whom he thought had
reckleSsly, carelessly and wantonly put
in jeopardy these great interests. Mr..
Hepburn said he still believed that our
system of administering criminal jus
tice in the army aud navy is lamemtably
faulty.
He then had read the rebuke admins
tered by Acting Secretary Newberry to
the court Of inquiry which recently
tried Lieutenant John A. Schoheld, L.

imposed by his companions in arms
and cited this instance as proof of his
position that justice was not melted out
to those who failed in doing their sim
pie duty.

by saying that if the gentleman from
Iowa had made as exhaustive an nyeS-
tigatipn of the subject as he had he
would find that there have been just
