NAVY DEPART hENT GETS
REPRIAAND OF YOUNG
Contents Will Not Be Made Public
Unless Commander of Benning-
ton So Decides.

Acting Secretary Of the Navy New
berry has mailed to Commander Lucien
Young, United States Navy, the repri-
mand OF the Secretary Of the Navy for
his "renissness in the performance Of
his duty" as commanding officer of the
Inflated gunboat Bennington. the boilers
of which exploded in San Diego harbor
last July.
Acting Secretary Newberry said today
that the reprimand WOULD not be made
public unless Commander Young saw fit
10 take such action himself In this
connection attention was called to the
fact that the court which tried Com
mander Young sentenced him Ito be
reprimanded by. the Secretary of the
Navy" and not Ito be publicly repri-
manded, as is customary in such cases.
Because of the omission of the word
publicly" il has been decided al the
Navy Department not to give the repri-
rnand to the press. It is understood that
the reprimand was very light, notwith-
standing that when Secretary Bonaparte
reviewed the findings OF the court last
week he expressed disapproval because
the Sentence was so light.

DEMOCRATIC SENATORS
TRY RATE BILL MAKING
Morgan Would Give Courts Power TO
Fix Charges and Culberson
Favors Commission.

Under the power of judicial author
ity,'' Senator Morgan would regulate the
freight rates of railroads or other com
panies or corporations engaged, as com
mon carriers, in the transportation OF
freight.
a Democratic rate bill introduced by
the senior Senator from Alabama late
Yesterday afternoon and ordered re-
ferred to the Committee on Interstate
Commerce provides that all corpora
tons or any company or person en-
gaged as a common carrier in transpor-
tation by land or water are prohibited
from receiving or demanding unreason-
able or unjust compensation: that a
shipper or passenger who feels that he
has been charged unjust or urreasOn-
able rates shall have a right to recover
at a suit at law. to be brought into
the United States District Court. the
amount of damage exceeding at least
$50
The bin also provides for the dele
cation of authority TO governors of
States TO bring suit on behalf OF
State in any Federal court in its efforts
to regulate rates. prevent oiserimlna-
ton, and TO fix differentials within such
State, and that money recovered by
such suits shall be at the disposal Of
the State legislature.
Senator Cuiberson, junior Senator
from Texas, also introduced a rate
measure, simpler in purport than that
of his veteran colleague, but aiming TO
delegate authority 10 fix rates to the
Interstate Commerce Commission, when
n is found that a rate is unjust or
unrea sOnable." MIR. Culberson would nave
the Interstate Commerce Commission
change such rate to one reasonably just
ard fair such change in rate TO remain
ir effect for at least one year from
date of change.
should the rate so fixed be considered
bv the carrier as confscatoTy the per-
son complaining may appeal 10 an
equity court for relief. The bill also
provides for placing the operation OF
private car lines within the authority OF
the Interstate Commerce Commission.

Danger in the 0ffing.

1t is with no desire to stir up in
ternational complications that we
call attention to a recent speech of
the British prime minister, Sir
Henry ll-Bannerman, in
which &C. B." delivered himself of
the following hideous and damnable
heresy;
Protection is immoral and OPP
pressive, based as it must be on
the exploiting OF the community in
the interest of favored trades and
financial groups"
We are afraid Sir Henry is not
paying proper attention TO the ee-
ment of the Anglo-American alliance,
of which we hear so much and know
so little. Only a few days ago there
was much talk in the chancelleries
because President Roosevelt was re-
ported TO have expressed an inter
est in the success of the Liberal
candidates in Great Britain. 1t de-
veloped, it is true, the President had
made no such statement, but the
more ponderous section of the press
filed its leaders with gloomy hypo-
theses and neIYe-racking 'If-It-Be-
Sos"

NO IMMEDIATE REFORM
IN CURRENCY SYSTEM
Opinion Is Expressed Freely That Present Session Of Con-
gress Will Pass Up" Shaws Plea for a More
Elastic Arrangement-Self Demand

People most familiar with the opinions
OF the Congressional committees. which
must deal with the subject. expect no
results at this session from the sugges-
tions OF Secretary Shaw looking 10 an
elastic currency. The debate in which
the Secretary and Jacob II. Schi1 have
become engaged IS nevertheless attract
ing much attention in legislative cir
Giles. and there is q feeling Of confidence
among advocates of currency reform
that their object has been brought near
er BY reason OF the present discussion.
The Secretary's plan is 10 permit ma
tional banks to increase their banknote
issue ND TO 30 per cent more than the
amount OF the bonds they have deposit
ed He would have the Government
guarantee this. IN consideration Of a
Der cent tax on the additional 30 per
cent OF circulation.
Plan of German Bank.
Friends of this plan. and supporters OF
the Secretary. are nov pointing out, in
reply TO some criticisms. that this is In
effect the plan OF the German Imperial
Bank. This great institution, which is
sues most OF the currency for the Ger
man Empire, is widely regarded by
financial experts as the most scientific
banking scheme in the world. To il Is
warded credit for great share IN
bringing about the immense industrial
and commercial expansion OF the en-
pire since 1t was established
The United States and England have
the most ineIastic currency schemes OF
any OF the great countries; France has
the most elastic; Germany has the plan
which represents the mean The Bank
of England may issue no notes unless
they represent deposits of gold. This
gives England the sOundest currency,

The attitude OF puBlic men toward the
money stringenCy at present Is curious,
ana Is said by observers Of many years
TO be unprecedented. There is, for ex-
ample, q general feeling that Wall street
interests nave been for a year preparing
for. an immense slaughter of the lambs
They have screwed stocks Of all kinds
up 20 dizzy heights. and have tried des-
perateiy on the way up 10 unload them
ar h ftalt
they have succeeded Ia unloading. There
IS very common opinion that they have
not so far unlOaded that they are ready
10 take their support from under the
market and let prices come tumhling
down But In order 10 sustain prices
where they are until the public comes
into the market and buys there is need
for more money, and hence the demand
from New York for elastieity-which
means, IN this view the privilege OF
supplying cash 10 bolster up the market
and 20 enable the public 10 come in and
buy at present high prices.
Selfish Interest.
In this situation the feeling IS that
Wall street presents the chief demand
for currency reform, and that its inter
est is a selfish one. related TO its own
immediate needs. Further than this is
the belief widely entertained that re
lief for Wall street viii simply amount
to equiping il with the means 10 carry
through to completion its great scheme
of shearing the lambs. And there IS in
disposition 10 carry out even a good re-
form and one honestly needed a a time
and under circumstances which seem 10
indicate that the great bull interest IN
the street viii get the chief immediate
benefit. and that a lot OF other people
might be made the victims OF Wall
streets schemes.
