POOR SHOW FORCANAL

SEATTLE, Jan. 24-Hope of a
government appropriation for the
Lake Washington canal from the
present congress is glimmering. No
promise of action can be secured
from Burton, chairman of the riv-
ers and harbors committee in the
house. He intimates that Seattle
wait two years longer, but no as
surance of government aid is prom
ised even then.

To GIVE YOUNG
MEN CHANCE
IN NAVY
Special Correspondent to The Press.

Special Correspondent to The Press.
WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan. "a
Chairman George Edmund Foss and
his house naval committee are OBJ
structing the passage of the bill, rec
commended by President Roosevelt
to get younger officers in command
of the United tSates navy. The
measure is called the navy person
mel bill.
In spite of the fact that time in
the. short session is limited, the
naval committee is proceeding in
very deliberate fashion in regard to
this bill.
THE fact that the navy depart
ment and the president favors this
legislation does not settle the mat
ter" said Chairman Foss. "Our
committee thinks for itself"
The idea of the president, as set
'orth in the special message to con-
;ress, is to give a chance to navy
officers to come into positions of
command before they are an
tiquated. Under the present sys-
tenn the average age of captain
is 55 years; and rear admiral
comes to his grade so late that his
promotion comes just about stimuli
taneously with his retirement. The
result is that officers who command
squadrons are often decrepit and
captains are old enough to be in the
grade of rear admiral.
The trouble is with the system
The scheme at present may be con-
ceived Of as pyramid with no
opening at the top. The young Off
GERS are crowded in at the bottom
and each year a new batch is grad
uated from the naval academy and
pushed into the service with the
idea that they will get experience
in all the grades above them, one
after the other, and, If they are
efficient, stand a chance to be the
admiral in command of the Ameri-
can navy some day.
AS a matter of fact, however, the
young officer at the bottom has no
chance for promotion. The scheme
of promotin-an antiquated relic of
antiquity, abandoned by all other
| countries-is for the man longest
| in the service to go up when the
| man over his head retires or dies.
But it is easy to see that there
| are more officers coming in at the
bottom than there are going out at
the top. 1t is also easy to see that
mere length of service does not de-
| termine a mans qualification for a
| promotion. For one man Is years in
| II e service may mean a bottle nose
and good capacity for liquor, while
| for another man half that time in
tie service may mean sobriety and
| studious efficiency. 1t is the plan OF
the presidents bill to provide some
method for wedding out the moss
! backs and drunkards, and to pro
mote the hard working and capable
| The proposed law would elimin
| ate a certain number of officers il
| each grade every so often. The
ones eliminated would go on what
is known as the reserve list; theil
places would be taken by officers
from the grade below The officers
chosen for promotion or for the re
serve list would be passed upon by
certain naval boards made up of SUI
pc, Tor officers in the navy itself.
1t is a point in favor of the law
| that it decreases the cost of main
tanning the navy. Secretary Metcall
says the law would save 100000
| in seven wears

COTTON PICkERS
MEET ON DEC. II
GRAND MOGULS OF THE COTTON
STATES LEAGUE WILL ASSEM-
BILE IN ANNUAL SESSION
AT GULFPORT.
Most Important Matter to Come Be-
fore Pigskin Magnates Is the Pro-
posed Withdrawal of Mobile
From the Ranks of League.

Tuesday, 18th, brings the annual
meeting of the board of directors of
the Cotton States League, and the
event will be watched with much in
terest throughout the circuit. One
of the most important matters to
come before the board of directors
is the proposed withdrawal of Mo
bile from the ranks of the league.
Promoters of the sport in the Gulf
City have recently purchased the
Shreveport franchise in the Southern
League, and if they succeed in Sc
curing a release from the Cotton
States viii trot in fast company next
year While her sister teams IN the
Cotton States are reluctant to part
with Mobile under any consideration.
they are willing to undergo the or
deal provided that the Oystermen
viii put up the S2.500 forfeit which,
according 10 the charter, any club
going into a higher league must pay.
Mobile, however, does not want to
pay the forfeit. and it is mp to the
directors to decide what is best to
be done in the premises.
Hatdesburg and Monroe. La, are
both anxious to enter The Cotton
States ranks, and IN the event that
Mobile withdraws her franchise win
probably go TO the former city. Mon
roe is a very good town, but IS too
remote from the cities nov COM
posing the league to make her ac-
QUESTION to it's ranks desirable.
Hatdesburg, on the other hand, is
not only a crack-a-iack town, but is
a good break between Meridian and
Gulfport and is also easily accessi-
bic from Jackson.
AS far as Columbus is concerned,
there seems TO be no doubt whatever
that she viii retain her franchise
The directors of the local associa-
tion held on last season under the
most adverse conditions, and the
gameness which they exhibited at
tracted the attention and admiration
of their fellow directors throughout
the league. President Banks, Of
the local association, has been quite
sick for several days past. but in the
event that he is able to leave his bed
will certainly attend the meeting at
Gulfport. In the event that Mr..
Banks is unable TO make the trip.
one of the directors VIII go
in his stead.

Chief of Police Munger last We'd
nesday received from Mrs. J. B. Mont
gomery. of Bernbank, Ala, tele-
gram requesting him TO arrest a girl
fifteen years OF age, attired in a light
dress and green hat Now as many
young ladies Of sixteen wear white
dresses and green hats, and Mrs
Montgomery had failed to state the
name OF the mucb-wanted female
Chief Munger didn't know exactly
who 10 arrest. AS d result OF dill
gent inquiry, it was learned that a
girl answering the description given
In the telegram had arrived here ear
lier in the week. having been ac-
companied by TWO men. The trio
had left before the telegram was re
ceived. however, having on Tuesday
night or Wednesday morning boarded
a west bound train on the Southern
railway.
On the day following the receipt
of the telegram by Chief Munger. a
special delivery letter from Mrs,
Montgomery came to hand. The let
ter. however, was more ambiguous
than the telegram, having, without
categorical statement on the sub
ject, conveyed the impression that
the young lady was accompanied by
her husband. AS there were two
men with the girl when she was seen
here it seems reasonable TO suppose.
that one of them was her husband,
and if such was the case the police
would hardly have had right to in
terfere in the matter.

Meeting of Presbytery.

The meeting of the New Hope
Presbytery, which was held in Stark
vile last week, was one of the most
pleasant and harmonious sessions
which has ever been held in the his
tory of that body. There was a
large attendance of delegates from
the various churches represented in
the New Hope body, and the session
was an enjoyable one.
The Presbytery made several
changes of interest to the people of
this city. the change of Rev. c. H.
zwingle to West Point, where he will
serve the church there until he en-
cages in evangelical work; the
change OF Rev J. H Bell to the
Brooksville church and the coming
of DR.. T. B. Nation, OF Cedar Bluff,
to Columbus, to succeed Mr.. zwingle,
being the most important of the
changes made.
Mr.. Zwingle has served the church
in this city most acceptably for some
time past, and has taken high stand
with. the Christian people of not only
his church but the entire community.
Mr.. Bells appointment bespeaks rec
ognition of his ability, which is sell
dom attained by one whose service in
the ministry has been so short, and
his friends are congratulating him
upon his rapid advancement. DR.
Nation is represented as one of the
strong men of the Presbytery and will
be accorded a hearty welcome by the
members of his flock here and the
church people generally of this com
munity.
