WASHINGTON. Dec. 20.-The naVy
department and its methods are like
~ TO receive attention at the hands
OF congress after the holidays
Some OF the members OF the naval
affairs committee have become con.
vinced that action should be taken TO
enforce business methods throughout
the navy, and do away with the ex-
travagance and lack OF system and
Capitalization. This feeling is espe-
cially strong among certain members
OF the house committee who visited
the Atlantic coast navy yards this
summer and who became convinced
that there was useless waste in their
management
There Is a strong disposition to end
the clashing of jealous and conflict
ing boards and bureaus, and efforts
will be made to bring about a general
overhauling OF the department. The
President is said TO be not unwilling
that this should be done.
The matter has not progressed far
enough to say whether or not con-
gress can be induced to act. but there
will be at least agitation in one or
both committees. and probably in the
interior OF the house.

THAN HIS PREDECESSOR.

NASHVILLE. Tenn. Dec. 1.-THE
states fiscal year closed today with Q
balance in the treasury Of 3619, 1884
At the close OF the last fiscal year the
balance in the treasury was t1,16s.-
1908, falling on Of more than q
half million dollars. However, this
difference lie accounted for when It
is considered that $4,000 was d.
rected to the payment OF the redemp-
ton bonds. The receipts for the en-
tire year were $s,617,169.4S. When
the receipts OF this year are som-
pared with those OF last year it is
found that the net profit for this
year is $258, OOS32. OF this gain by
far the greatest amount was con-
tributed by the prison commissioners
who paid In s664,842.44 and drew out
1896, 531.70, leaving net profit OF
$685., 310.74, which is little less than

were $3.s17.987.2S, showing an excess

Johns dropped like an ayenging spirit
upon the wholesale whiskey dealers
Of the city on Sunday night, arresting
the proprietors of three houses ON a
charge OF doing business on Sunday.
No one was more surprised at the
arrest than the whisky men, for they
worked in fancied security, supposing
that they had permission from the
police force and indirectly from the
Mayor to pack and ship their wares
on account of the holiday rush. How
ever, Sheriff Johns said: Il don't care
for the Mayors orders. You are vto-
lating a State law, and you'll have to
come with me-" Those arrested were
taken before Esquire Jake Levine,
each giving bond in the sum of $3.50.

Republicans OF the Evans-Sanders
persuasion are ridiculing what they
call that Brownlow conference held
In Nashville Wednesday last. They
laugh at the scant attendance and
denounce it as a futile effort to stir
up strife and discord within the Re

Waiter Brownlow to power in Ten.
nessee. They say that was the prime
object of the meeting and that nothing
will come of 1t. Just now these
same Evans-Sanders Republicans are
not saying great deal about who
will be the Republican candidate for
President. They say nothing against
Mr. Taft but at heart they prefer
Hughes of New York. AT least this

Nashville, where he went to look
after Cadet Craig. who was run over
by an automobile on the streets Of
Nashville Friday afternoon and seri.
ously injured. Prof. Hardy reports
the injuries OF young Craig serious,
but there will probably be no fatal
results. as the young man is doing
nicely and it is thought Will have
recovered entirely within month.
The negro, who ran over young
Craig is still In jail. 1t is said he was
driving at the rate of about forty
miles an hour and struck the boy just
when he took his first step from the
car. This negro will be prosecuted to
the full extent of the law for criminal
negligence. and suit has already been
entered. against the owner Of the auto
mobile for damages.
Craig is at present In the city hos
pital in Nashville. He has a cousin
and sister living in Nashville and
they are looking after him. His pa
rents are not living, his mother hav.
ing been killed in a runaway accident
only few months ago. There have
been several fatal accidents In the
family, and this fact has served to-
alarm young Craig more than the
present accident would justify.
