The Cairo bulletin. (Cairo, Ill.) 1???-1928, 1907-06-20

All roads lead to Cairo today an,
The city's gates are zung wide open
and with the lid taken off and stoweC
away; with banners flying and bands
playing, stands ready TO give the
Egyptian Hustlers the warmest wei
come they ever received.
BY noon fully 10000 people vii
have arrived TO be present at the
opening of the fifth annual frolic OF
the Hustlrs and by night ii is ex.
pected that half as many more will
be here
The advance guard of pleasure
seekers of last night and early this
morning points without doubt to the
largest gathering in the history of
Cairo.
And Cairo Is ready and willing to
do its very level best to entertain the
crowds. Aside from the amusements
offefeu by rne HusrIssrs
and the Cairo merchants and business
men, the citizens have opened their
homes to help accommodate the
Hustlers and their friends. While
ample accommodations have not as
yet been secured, the hospitality OF
many of Cairo's citizens will be re-
membered by the visitors.
Early morning trains all brought III
well filled extra coaches and long be-
fore daylight crowds Of expectant
visitors thronged the down town
streets.
Specials to Arrive at Noon.
Suecial trains from Belleville and
Harrisburg will arrive this morning
as will the steamboats, which left st.
Louis last night loaded down with ex-
cursionists. Scores of Centralia
boomers will arrive today but the
special train from that city will not
be run until Friday. The Belleyille
special will consist of baggage and
combination car and six coaches, and
win probably leave there at $3.50
O'Clock this morning and is due 70 ar
rive in Cairo at 1890. No stops VIII
he made for passengers after leaving
Belleyille.
Large crowds from Paducah, Char
lesion. Mound City. Wickliffe and
Birds Point have hen assured by long
distance telephone messages to The
Bulletin.
Low rates have been put in efec'
on all railroads and steamboats run
ming into Cairo and each train today
will have many special coaches.
That the advertising committee dio
its work well and faithfully Is hown
by the fact that the advance guard OF
visitors last night and early thiS
morning was much larger than was
expected and that interest all over
Egypt has been greater this year
than ever before.

MIR. REUTERDAHEs CRITICISMS.
Bureau system Declared to be the
 Root of the Trouble.

Henry Reuterdafl, the marine artist, in an article in the January number of McClure's Magazine, criticising our battleships, laid the blame upon the bureau system now in charge. He declared that there was no hope of i'm provement while that remained.
 How is it possible that blunders of these proportions can be perpetuated? he asked. "The answer to this is sim- ply that no human being is responsible for this thing It is done by a system --an organization so constituted that it's very nature compels it to perpetu- ate mistakes.
 iThe navy department oi' the United States is operated, under iss secretary, by bureau system. The secretary is a civilian generally, in recent years, a lawyer, passing on from this stepp ns stone to higher political career. The conduct of the department must, nat uralIy, come into the hands of the bu- reaus beneath him. There are seven of these-navigatio ordnance, equip ment, construction and repair, steam engineering, supplies and accounts, and medicine and surgery. The United States navy is built, equipped and op- erateA by these bureaus. The criti- cisms of the navy all come back to them. They are, when these criticisms are to be acted upon, practically both judge and defendant, Naturally, they acquit the defendant almost invariably. This kills the criticism"
 MT, Reuterdahl made particular point in his article of saying that his criti- cisnls were not new, He declared that they were we'll known to naval men and had been referred to In official re- ports and presidential messages, but that the bureau system had made it impossible to secure changes.
 As chief points against our fleet, MT. Reuterdahl mentioned that, when load ed, the shell proof armor about the water line was mostly submerged, and said that our ships were so low that,

of the cruise of the Atlantic fleet to the Pacific, the greatest peace move of the navy during it's history. The resignation of Admiral Brownson as chief of the bureau of navigation has the effect of placing him in his former position on the retired list of the navy.
 Commander Winslow who has been designated to act as the head of the navigation bureau, has for some time past been assistant to Admiral Brown son and consequently is familiar with the duties of the bureau. However, it is known that Commander Winslow is anxious to obtain command of the new oattleship New Hampshire, so 1t is believed that his present designation io intended to bridge over an interval during which the president can make a selection of another officer. Among the names mentioned in that connec- ton is that of Captain Richardson Clover. at present head of the board of inspection and survey, who was con sidered for that place at the time Ad- miral Brownson' term of active service expired, and it was supposed that he was to give way to an officer on the active list.
 Another name which it is known has been considered in connection with tht vacancy is that of Lieutenant Com- mander william s. Sims, who is one of the presidents naval aides and whC has attained special eminence in the navy by reason of his expert work in connection with target practice.
 While only the brief announcement came from Washington to-day, the resignation, coming at this time, SC soon after the publicity given to tho Reuterdahl charges as made in Nc Clure's Magazine, was a great surprise There has been talk of Rear Admira Brownson resigning for some time, anC
 it did not at once become clear wheth
 CT the incident had any connection
 with the widely spread criticisms, oi
 was matter of regular routine.
