1t ODDS WITH
JUSTICE SOLOMs

Washington, Aug. ia series OF recent
opinions by Attorney General Bonaparte
has set the navy department and the war
department sorely at odds with the de-
partment of Justice. SO much are these
opinions of Mr.. Bonaparte at variance
with the views OF the two departments
concerned that steps have been taken in
each instance to render them nugatory
and imperative.
Ordinarily the opinions Of the attorney
general as the chief law officer of the
government are accepted and his inter-
probation OF the law adopted. but in the
present instance in the matters In ques-
tion the war and navy departments re-
gard his decisions as so illogical and con-
trary to the best interests of the govern
ment that they intend TO defy them
openly
What possible complications this decla-
ration OF warfare against the department
OF justice or at least deliberate intention
TO ignore Mr.. Bonaparte's opinions will
lead to Is a matter for future develop
ments. Secretary Taft has gone so far
as to imply strongly that Mr.. Bona
parties constructions lead to absurdty.
The law authorizing and providing for
the national rife competition stipulates
that the organizations to participate shall
by the army. navy, marine corps and
the organized militia of the states. No
mention Is made OF naval brigades In
In opinion Dy MAJ. f7Orter, hctlnE judge
advocate general of the army, which
followed a previous decision upon the
same subject. II was held that the law
did not contemplate the participation Of
naval militia organizations, as they were
not part of the organized militia as de-
fined under the Dick militia law.
Mr.. Bonaparte,- In his wisdom. saw At
TO overrule the war department, for he
decided that the naval reserves are a
part of the organized militia.
The navy department has even a greater
grievance against the attorney general
on account of his opinion OF the award
. for the purchase OF submarine torpedo
boats. pursuant to the provisions of the
ment went 10 the trouble and expense
OF providing an elaborate series Of tests
to determine the comparative efficiency
of different boats for which bids were
submitted.
The report went to the board Of con-
struction. which concurred in the opinion
given. and these reports We're approved
by the secretary OF the navy.
The matter, which has been In contro-
versy In the department for a long time.
was regarded as practically settled when
Attorney General Bonaparte. In deciding
a point which Secretary Metcalf had sub
mitted to him, In order TO make the case
complete came forward with an opinion
overriding and seeking to set at naught
all the work which the navy department
has been attempting to do for Is months
or more. With a, single sentence the at
torney general east aside the expert
Judgment OF naval men, and declares that
the findings OF the departments boards
were suitable for consideration but not
decisive

TWO PASTORS
GIVE UP PULP|TS
FOR OTHER CALLS

Two Rhode Island pastors, one at Woon-
socket and the other at East Providence.
gave notice yesterday of desired sever
ance of the pastoral relation In order to
accept calls to other fields.
Oscar Maddaus. who has been acting
pastor of the First Presbyterian church.
Woonsocket, since April. le04 had a
letter read at the morning service yes
terday, declining the churchs formal call
to it's pastorate. and stating his intention
at such time as the church will release
him, to leave.
Rev. Harry w Lambert gives as his
reason for accepting a call to Pennsyl-
vania that the field In larger. and gives
him greater opportunities to work among
the surrounding towns than is the case In
the church at East Providence Centre.
The Lower Merton church Is of the Bap-
tist conference of the state of Pennsyl-
vania and has a membership of about 800,
being considerably larger than the East
Providence church.
Mr. Lambert who Is president Of the
Rhode Island Baptist Ministers associa-
ton, has been doing evangelistic work in
Rhode Island churches ever since he
came to New England. about six or seven
years ago.

BIC METEOR
T. FELL, CAUSING
TIDAL WAVE

New York. Aug ls.-All persons out OF
doors at Amagansett l.. L.. were startled
last evening when they heard terrific
roar and at the same time saw a lazing
mass OF flames shooting through the
heavens over. the ocean, apparently only
little way out from shore. The kissing
roar which was emitted from the rapidly
moving molten ball was deafening and
the atmospheric disturbances which ac-
companied the spectacle inspired fear.
The blazing object appeared to many
to be about 70 feet In Circumference.
Those who witnessed the sight say the
meteor, for such II was. must have
weighed several tons. When II struck
the weater II caused an upheaval. Like
a tidad wave. huge breakers came tumb-
ling on shore. reaching a height which
the sea-going poulation OF the oom-
munity gay was far beyond any previous
record. Several bathing pavilions were
washed away and nshermen's nets were
battered from their moorings. while con-
siderable damage was caused to property
along the ocean front
Great numbers of dead FISH were swept
In on the unusual tide.
