BAD FEELING RESULTS
Naval Circles Stirred by Resigna,
ton Of Admiral BrownSon.
OLD WAR OF LINE AND STAFF
Chief of the Bureau Of Navigation Re.
fused to Transmit Orders From
President Roosevelt Assigning Ma.
val Surgeon to Command Vessel.

Washington, Dec. Pinot since
the days preceding the passage of the
personnel law ten years ago has the
feeling between line and staff of the
navy been so acute as it is today as
the result of the refusal of Admiral
RrOWnsOn to transmit orders from his
superior officer, the president of the
United States, assigning a naval sur
geon to command vessel in the navy.
In the case of the personnel act it
was Mr.. Roosevelt, then assistant sec
rotary of the navy, who acted the part
of pacificator and succeeded in bring
ing the two warning factions together.
In the. present instance, however, the
efforts of the president to reconcile
the surgeons and the line officers has
failed and it is probable that the
whole controversy will be threshed
out on it's merits in congress. This is
much deprecated by conservative off
GERS in both line and staff as likely
TO prove prejudicial to the navy's in
terest as whole, for they believe
that in order to succeed in securing
from congress the four great battle
ships, the cruisers, scouts and sub.
marines which form part of the
years naval estimates, in addition to
securing legislation that will better
the lot of naval officers personally
the navy must present united front,
which cannot be done if, just at the
beginning of a session, line and staff
are to engage In fierce strife.
Through the published statement of
Surgeon General Rixey the merits OF
the doctors side of the case in this
instance have been clearly set forth
Line officers believe that in common
fairness they should also have hear
ing. But they are in an embarrassing
position in that respect Admiral
Brownson preceded his resignation by
q cold, clear and logical presentation
Of the reasons why he objected to the
assignment of physician to com
mand the naval ship, even though that
vessel were exclusively devoted to
hospital uses. That statement was
submitted to the president and, not
withdrawing the staff has had its say
in print, applications at the White
House for this letter are met with re-
fusal. Now 1t is clearly impossible

CASS LAKE CATHOLICS
ARE VERY PROGRESSIVE
Rev. Father Buech|er Has Cleared the
Church OF Debt and Done Ex-

Cass Lake, Dec. 27.-(Special to
Pioneer. )-St. Charles Catholic
church of this place holds most
enviable record in the eyes of other
churches in this section of the state.
Fourteen months ago the church
was in debt over $4,000. With four
churches of other denomination in
the village, it was thought that if
the church could be cleared of debt
within two years, the Pensioners
would be doing we'll
Reverend Father Buechler came
here to take charge of the parish.
He found comforting him most
difficult task. The church, besides
being heavily in debt, needed new
foundation, a bell and many other
necessary improvements. Father
BueChler took the matter in charge,
and soon became we'll acquainted
with all the Catholics in the village,
and seemed sati ,fied that he would
be able to accomplish a great deal,
so he put his shoulder to the wheel
and began the hard task that was
before him.
For fourteen months he exerted
every effort possible to get together
the necessary funds. He canvassed
the town from right to left, and
met with splendid success. Almost
everyone gave freely A series OF
sales, suppers and card parties
were given by the ladies of the
parish, which greatly increased the
needed fund.
Within fourteen months the
church has not only been entirely
cleared of debt, but $4,000 has also
been expended on improvements
in remodeling and identifying the
church. The interior presents most
beautiful appearance. The statuarY,
chandeliers and altar adornments
are some of the most expensive
fixtures that could be procured A
new pipe-organ has recently been
installed, at a cost of $4,000. This

The Salem Taxpayers League met
in regular session last night IN the
Office of william Brown & Company
aud discussed the feasibility OF re-
sorting to injunction proceedings to
ston the proposed improvements on
the court house.
The subject of expenditure OF
money TO make the improvements In
the county house was thoroughly dis

work was denounced as species OF
extravaganza that Marion county
cannot afford.
The league will have another

hall to hear the report of the special
committee provided for in the reso-
lutions adopted, as follows:
whereas, In view of the univer-
sal rule of a rising rate of taxation
I'm Marion county, which was previ-
ously excessive and burdensome, and
Whereas, Marion county official
