NAVY WANTS NEW UNIFORM.
Enlisted Men Complain Present Reg
ulati6a Not SNOWY Enough.


With the sanction Of Admiral Evans.
who is said to be much interested in the
movement, board Of naval officers. with
Capt Hugo Osterhaus as senior member.
has been appointed to decide upon changes
In the uniforms Of enlisted men in the
United States navy. A general opinion
exists among the officers that changes
should be made for the good Of the serv-
ice, some OF them maintaining that the
inconspicuOUs attire Of the seaman has
done much TO prevent enlistment in the
navy; where the Marine Corps. which has
a natty uniform. has no trouble in secur-
ing recruits. This Is not due. Il is said
10 d difference in the pay, because a
marine averages between S13 and $50 per
month, while a sailor. may get as much
as $40.
Capt. OsteThaus has sent out a circular
70 the captains Of all war ships of the
North Atlantic Squadron and to all COM
manders of ships in the service, asking
for suggestions.
The chief grievance seems to be in ref
erence 10 the old pancake style Of sailor
hat. These caps are said TO be utterly
useless on windy day. a cap similar 10
the white duck hat now used. made OF
blue cloth. was tried az one time in the
service. but IL was said to be not dressy
enough. Complaint has also been re-
ceived from the men of their blOuses and

seems TO be a relic Of the past, and a
report IS soon expected from the board as

dents Of Anacosta, Congress Heights,
and other suburbs across the river. re-
garding street-car facilities. Gen. George
II Harrtes, vice president of the Wash
ington Railway and Electric Company
has informed the Commissioners that the
matter of crowded cars and lack Of ac-
commodation for the public crossing the
AnacOstia Bridge has been investigated
and that steps win be taken to improve
as far as possible. the conditions com
planned Of.
Recent protest was made TO the Com
missiOners against the regulations pro-
hibiting the transportation across the
Anacosta Bridge of more than forty pas
sengeTs on tie single truck, and fifty on
the double truck cars. The protestants
were informed by the Commissioners that
the only remedy lay with the railroad
company, as to permit the carrying of
more passengers across the bridge would
be dangerous. Thereupon a request was
made 20 the railroad company 10 add
more cars. The secretary OF the Anacos-
tia Citizens Association was yesterday
notified Of Gen. Harries' reply.

NEIGHBOR FINDS HUSBAND.
Promptly Receives Drubbing from
Discovered Individual.

Much excitement was caused in the
neighborhoOd of Fifth street and Lou
isiana avenue about o'clock last
night. when the shrill cries of a wo-
man and a small child attracted a large
crowd. Investigation as to the cause
of the disturbance revealed that Alex
ander E. Tennent was graphing with
William c. GenelIa, of 500 Fifth street
northeast, and that Mrs. Tennent. the
wife of the former. and her little girl.
who stood near by, were responsible
for the screams.
Detectives Barbee and Horne. who
were among those who rushed to the
spot, placed Tennent under arrest.
From what they learned, GeneIIa. az
the request Of Mrs Tennent. had been
assisting her TO find her husband, who
had failed to return to his home dur
ing the day. When the missing one
was at last located it is charged, he
turned upon GenelIa and began to
shower blows right and left.
Tennent was taken to police head
quarters. but was afterward released
on s. collateral for his appearance in
court to-day. Genella refused to charge
the man with assault. but the detec-
tives, who witnessed thee affair. were
under the impression that Tennent
should be called to account for his ac-
tons.

Commissioners say they viii issue the

The application for the permit for the

The attention Of the Commissioners was
called by A T. Stuart to the regulation
prohibiting the erection Of such building

In reply, Gen. George II. HarTies. vice

Board Of Education, is being flooded with
applications for the position made vacant
by the death Of Mrs. Sarah E. W. Fuller,
director Of drawing in the public schools.
There are also many applicants for the
position Of secretary to the board. which

ing Mr.. Cox, Mr.. Evermann, Mrs Mus

The ambassador has been making a

Authority on Union Pacific Affairs
Denies Statement That Plan for

Been Abandoned.

New York, Dec. 3.-The Journal Of
Commerce says:
The statement was published yes
terday that the plan for separate
holding company for the Union Pa
cific's holdings of securities has been
abandoned, and that the Delaware &
Hudson, with its broad charter was to
be used, not only for holding all stocks
owned by the Union Pacific, but for
holding the Union Pacific itself. An
authority on Union Pacific affairs de-
clared the report simply absurd He
intimated, however, that the commit
tee in charge of the plan for segrega-
ton of the financial and operating de-
partments Of the Union Pacific were
experiencing some difficulty in finally
agreeing upon the form of the holding
company. There had, he argued, been
some change in public sentiment since
the panic, and this might reduce to
some extent the demand for such seq
regation At any rate, according to
the plan as it now stands, the Southern
Pacific management are confident that
the governments contention that the

with the Union Pacific, will not hold

Ottrmwa. Dec. 3. That Addison
Garrison Is restrained and mprisonef
against his will by William Wilson,
Mary Wilson and Eliza Garrison OK
Eldon is the complaint of Mrs. Lor-
aine Garrison, his wife, who has ap-
piled for writ of habeas corpus Tor
his re lease which is returnable before
Judge Eichelberger on December 4.
The petitioner alleges that the de-
PENDANTS are restraining her husband
at the home of William Wilson against
his will and that. since Nov. 2, he has
not been permitted to communicate
with his wife or go to their home In
Eldon.
The petitioner asserts that the de-
PENDANTS bescech her and her nus
band to move from Arkansas to Eldon
SO as to be near them; that they
would assist them in earning living
and that. as a result, they moved to
Eldon in August.
The petition further asserts that on
or about November 2, William Wilson
went to the home of the plaintiff and
secured his services to go to his (Wil-
son's) home to assist in the construc-
ton of pig pen which he was about
to commence to construct. Since that
time, says the petitioner, her husband
has been restrained by the plaintiffs
and it is the petitioners belief that 1t
is for the purpose Of separating them
as husband and wife by illegal re-
stralnt.
