HERE'S A JOB FOR
MODERN SOLOMON
TANGLES ARE MANY IN COM
PLICATED PARTNERSHIP
DEAL.

Il tell you | got wife and five
children to make living for and
tell you | will use that wagon, ant
you just try to stop me on the roat
if you can"
So exclaimed Jacob Aaron to At
torney c. A, Eddy, as he left the of
flee of Justice Cartwright in the
court house yesterday afternoon, aft
er discussion of the merits of the
case of Aaron against Harry Cream
The case itself is SO involved and
complicated that it would tax the
best endeavor of genuine Solomon
to unravel and adiudicate it. JUS.
tice Cartwright says he is not
wholly a Solomon, and that he finds
himself puzzled as to the case.
Aaron and Cream entered into q
verbal agreement to gather hides In
the county and sell them to Utah
junk house, they to divide the prof
It's. So far, their stories agree
After that point there is marked
divergence in their statements.
Aaron declares that he was guar
anteed $3.50 per day and his ex.
penses. Cream says he was not
Aaron says he agreed to furnish q
team and his labor as his part OF
the deal.
Aaron claims that he put ur
$10.40 worth of supplies toward the
trip. Cream says that he bought a
half of the horsefeed on the trip.
Aaron claims that he. Cream, owes
him $2S for board. Cream denies
it. Aaron had a seat made for the
wagon for which he says he paid $S
Neither man knows what the gross
receipts of the trip were. They have
not had a settlement from the Utah
junk house to whom they sold their
hides. Aaron declares as further
complication, that he loaned Cream
81 while on the trip. Cream denies
it. Cream says that he owns the
wagon but Aaron will not let him
have it. The men had fist fight
a few days ago over the possession
of the wagon.
Cream wants the wagon and has
appealed to Justice Cartwright for it,
Justice Cartwright has given
Aaron Judgment against Cream for
$21 for board; So for the wagon
seat, lot 9f money lodIleu W CIediH
for three other days board at $1.5O,
making a total of $37. He has also
given him judgment for half of the
profits on the deal. Aaron holds the
wagon until Cream shall settle the
whole thing. Cream demanded yes
terday that he be allowed to pay
Aaron the $37 judgment, and that he
be allowed to take the wagon.
Now the whole matter is up in the
air until the accounting of the profits
is made.
1t was when Cream attorney de-
manded that he be allowed to settle
the judgment and take the wagon
that Aaron and Attorney Eddy came
together yesterday. Further pro-
ceedings may be instituted today in
the case.

NAVY OFFICER
ROASTS ARMY
Declares That Gunnery System Is
Inadequate, Cumbersome, In.
sufficient and Antique.
RECOMMENDS many CHANGES
Army Men Reply That Examination
Was Superficial and IN
complete.
RECOMMENDS MANY CHANGES

WASHINGTON, Oct 2.-When the
that every school house ought to
have a shooting range he showed
how deeply he was interested in
craftsmanship. 1t should cause no
wonder, therefore, that he himself
is at the bottom of the controversy
ranging between army and navy as
to the merits of their respective sys-
TENS of gunnery. 1t was the presi-
dent himself who directed Com
mander Sims to report on the army
system of gunnery.
When that report was received it
was of character to occasion the
president much concern, and he i'm
mediately forwarded Commander
Sims report to the general staff
with instructions that he be prompt
ly advised what the army had to
say for itself in the light of Com
mander Sims comments and recon-
mendations. These included state
ment that the army system was cum
bersome and complicated, that it
lacked in numerous ways the accu-
racy and modernity of the navy sys-
tenn, and recommendations that the
system, install it's fortification guns
in turrets instead of on disappearing
carriages, and adopt the navy method
of calculating ranges and correcting
errors by the observation of the
splash of projectiles.
Until the receipt of the president S
letter the artillerymen had had no
knowledge of the fact that they had
oh NV Of
ficer, and when they read the report
they declared with vehemence that
Commander Sims observations had
been superficial, his comments wholly
ex parte and his recommendations
impracticabe to the extent of being
ludicrous. Immediately the chief of
artillery, the chief of ordnance and
the chief signal officer were detailed
to prepare reply to Sims report,
and when that is completed it will be
placed in the hands of the president,
not later than on the day of his re-
turn from the trip on which he start
ed yesterday
The most encouraging report of
tie target practice at Cape Cod is to
the effect that the Alabama, with
her 12-inch guns, has made 80 per
cent of hits. No other ship, it is re-
ported, has approached this record
for that distance, which is given at
5000 yards. The Georgia made SO
per cent with her 12-inch guns at
similar distance, and about 80 per
cent with S-inch guns. The Virginia
made about 80 per cent with IL and
S-inch guns. While army officers
profess to see in the records fail
ure of the navy system for long
ranges, naval officers profess to be
highly pleased at the work with the
guns.

 T have but word to say to you and that word must always be appro- priate in any Masonic meeting where the name of Washington is mentioned. 'I ask of each Mason. of each member. of each brother. that he shall remem- Der ever that there is upon him pe- culiar obligation; to show himself in every respect good citizen; for after all the way in which he can best do his duty by the ancient order to which he belongs is by refiecting credit upon that order by the way in which he performs his duty as a citizen of the United States.
 The lesson above all lessons to De inculcated by every Mason in address ing his brother Mason is that the way to reflect credit upon the ancient and honorable body to which we belong Is to make that body. so far as in us lies, an instrument for the upbutlding, the uplifting, the ennobling of the great nation to which we belong"

President at Laying of.
 Cornerstone. TEMPLE IN WASHINGTON
He Exhorts Brethren to Best of
 Citizenship.
Gavel And Trowel The Same As Were Used By George Washington. Peculiar Obligation Of
 The Craft.

Washington. June S,-President Roosevelt, a member of the Blue Ridge Lodge of the Masonic Fraternity par ticipated in the work and made an ad- dress at the laying of the corner stone this afternoon of the new Masonic Temple which Is to be erected in this city.
 Interesting facts in connection with the occasion were that the gavel and trowel used were the same as those used by President Washington in lay ing the corner stone of the United State capitol building September IS, 1793. and the Bible was used by Fred erick 8. Burg. Lodge No. 4. of Vir- ginia, when President Washington be- came member of the fraternity.
 The President spread some cement under the cornerstone with the trowel, afterward shaking the hands of the mechanics experimenting the work and later was handed the gavel and also the Bible which he examined closely as he turned the pages of the sacred book.
 The President was accompanied by Secretary Loeb and as soon as they Mir. Loeb. who also Is Mason, were handed aprons of lamskin, which they fastened around their waists.
 In his address the President asked each Mason to always rember that there Is upon him a peculiar obligation to show himself in every respect a , good citizen and pointed out that it is well not to wait for times of unusual crisis before they become such.
 Deposited in the corner stone were steel portraits of Presidents Washing ton and Roosevelt, facsimile copies of the Declafation of Independence and the Constitution of the United States, Jamestown Exposition medals and newspaper accounts of the death of President Garfield. Francis J. Wood man. grand master of the grand lodge, had charge of the ceremonies of laying the orner stone.
 The President Speaks.
 President Roosevelt spoke as fol- lows:
 Most worshipful Grand Master, Brethren and Friends:
 'Tt is a privilege and a pleasure to take part today in the dedication of the new temple. I am sure all of us must appreciate the courtesry of these brethren of other lodges which has rendered it possible to use on this oc- casion the Bible upon which the great first citizen of this republic, Washing ton, took the oath when he was made a Mason, and the implement which he used as a Mason in laying the corner
