HEPBURN CALLS
NAVY INEFFICIENT
Iowa Congressman Makes Sar-
castle Attack on Officers
and Their Courts.
JUSTICE is IMPOSSIBLE
REFERS TO ACCIDENTS TO
PROVE STATEMENT.

Washington, May 11.-During the
consideration of the naval appropria-
ton bill by the house today Mr.. Hep
burn Of Iowa, who has been relentless
in his structures upon the efficiency of
the navy, took occasion to reply to a
speech made by Mr. Weeks of Massa-
chusetts last Saturday, in which the
latter stated there had been but thirty
seven court martials in forty-one years
growing out OF accidents and loss of
ships Mr.. Weeks reviewed the acct
dents I'm the past forty years to naval
vessels, which he stated was a COM
plete record.
To this Mr.. Hepburn took decided ex-
ception. He said Mr.. Weeks total was
wholly incorrect, and that it did not in
Clude accidents TO the more extensive
vessels OF modern date. He cited the
accident that happened to the battle
ship Rhode Island while going into the
York river.
Certainly, if there is any position,
any part" said Mr.. Hepburn, of our
navigable waters that the navy and the
officers of the navy ought to be familiar
with il should be that historic port.
They ought to be able to get in aud 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 danger
Gus collisions.
Admiral sigspee's MishaP.
He recalled the incident in which he
said Admiral Sigsbee run his vessel
into dock in New York hRrbor. and
remarked: 'One would suppose that
these gentlemen would be familiar with
sUch waters.
These are but a few instances of in
efficiency or 1ncapacity to handle these
great vessels. We are spending mill
lions OF dollars to build up a great
navy. I think it is the part Of patriot
ism 10 do this, but there ought to be
some guarantee, some assurance, that
after we secure such vessels they will
not be FeckiesslY destroyed by incom-
potency and inefficiency."
Mr.. Hepburn said he still believed
that our system of administering Grim
iEal justice in the army and navy is
lsmentably faulty. 1T is almost i'm
possible he said, Ito secure fairness
Of judgment on the part of those who
are to try criminal malefactors. Think
of it! The courts are made up from the
classmates, from the companions i'm
arms. from the friends and associates.
from the military family Of which they
are alike members"

Longs Testimonials.

The testimonials of Mr.. Long he con-
tlnued, bear the royal impress. as do
those of Mr.. Allison, with the addition
or the coat of arms of Rhode Island
We understand all this" he said but
the people do not. We understand that
the president is no longer caressing the
senator from Kansas and the Junior
senator from Iowa (MF. Dolliver) but
that he is now clasping to his bosom
the senator from Rhode Island, MI Al
drich."
He proceeded ia outline the difference
between the Allison and the Long
amendments and while he was doing so
was taxed Dy Senator Aldrich with
having changed his own position. which
he denied. In conclusion Mr. Rayner
congratulated the broad review advo-
Gates upon their signal victory. II also
congratulate every railroad president of
the country and their amazing array of
counsel"
Senator Long made a legal presenta-
ton of the review question without I'M
dertaking to reply to Mr.. Rayner.
While Mr.. Long was speaking Sena-
tor Aldrich made the statement that
Mr.. Allisons amendment did not grant
TO the courts greater Jurisdiction than
Mr.. Longs amendment
senator Allison said that his amend
ment was limited as to whether the
commission had acted beyond its au-
thority or the rate fixed was just and
reasonable He disclaimed the credit
given him by Mr.. Rayner, and said that
the president was also misrepresentad
He said that Mr.. Rayner's provision and
his own practically accomplished the
same result.

dict was being read he watched the
clerk with breathless interest.
When Mr.. Buford got to the word
second he looked like a noun
tain had been moved from his
shoulders. The jury found him
guilty of murder in the second de-
gree, and fixed his punishment at
Imprisonment in the penitentiary
for a term of 30 years. The ver-
dict was in the nature of a surprise
to most persons who heard it. 1t
was the general opinion of those
who listened to the evidence that
it would either be a verdict for
murder in the first degree or a
hung jury. There is little criticism,
however, of the action of the jury.
If Arthur Spaugh serves out his
term he will be an old grayhaired
man when he comes out. Mr..
Chas. Polk, the aged father of the
dead sheriff, says he is satisfied
with the verdict, and all Others
