nit more thorough search. The

'fOR 4 RIGID INQUIRY
Navel Csalrsvoyy Gives K1e 0peeetua-
lily Ne HIS ieas Desiret

Washington. Dec. .s.--~Senator
Hale has been quick 10 discover In
the present naval rumpus the OPP
portnnity he has been looking for
for long time-the opportunity OF
turning an inQuisitye searchilght on
the navy department to the end Of
overhauring II thoroughly.
Senator Hale. who Ia chairman OF
the committee on naval affairs, has
been markedly out Of sympathy with
the presidents Eradiose notions of
what the navy ought to be and how
1t ought to be run. The present rum
pus. while perhaps not verifying
criticisms he has heretofore uttered,
gives him the occasion to press his
objections TO existing policies and
methods. and taking advantage OF 1t
he has resolved to bring about an
exhaustive investigation. He is spur
red to his purpose by the belief that
the present system is productive OF
chickering's and inefficiency.
The investigation, If made along
will embrace not only the question
Of the efficiency Of the bureaus, but
Of the ships themselves, thus. in ef-
feet, submitting the Renterdahl
charges to deliberate and exhaustive
consideration.
Senator Hale's action may result
in the substitution of general staff
for the bureau system, and 1t may
also serve to defeat the rather large
naval program that the president
has submitted to congress. Senator
Hale has never looked with favor on
the rapid naval increase and it is
believed that 50 long as there is any
question as to the competence of the
bureau chiefs and of the efficiency
Of the ships themselves he will have
a convincing argument with which to
combat the presidents desire for
large naval appropriation at this SEES
sion.

Houston. Texa.. Dec, General
Valley railway are TO be moved from
Fort Worth to Houston. Whether
the removal Will take place In fif-
teen days, three months or six
months cannot be stated accurately,
| but the fact that final decision has
been reached to change the general
headquarters from Fort Worth to
this city is the news obtained from
entirely trustworthy sources.
In fact, it is understood that ne
gotiations are now pending between
officials Of the road and owners OF
big office buildings in Houston
looking to the securing of quarters
here, and If satisfactory deal Is
moval will occur within the next
! thirty days. At the longest. it is fig
ured that within six months Hous-
| ton will be the general headquarters
for the Valley Short line. w. f.
Green, yice-president and general
manager Of the company, is expected
| in Houston daily, and his coming at
| tbs time has particular relation to
the plans to change the headquar-
tiers. 1t is reported, although not
verified, that deal has practically
been closed whereby the road will Sc
| cure office apartments at once under
| a lease effective Jan. / aud If this
proves correct it is expected that
Houston will become headquarters
! for the road as soon as the removal
can be effected.
When the question Of selecting a

/ Houston advanced its claims and Of
/ fered every inducement to get the
headquarters. Fort Worth, however,

The placing of an enormous bur-
den upon the railroads is equivalent
to putting an insuperable obstacle in
their development. The people OF
Georgia do not want cheap rates as
much as they want fair rates. They
do not care for good accommodations
and schedules at the expense of the
railroad companies. The spirit Of
fair play, SO highly developed, in oul
people, is opposed to senseIess at
tacks and uncalled-for harassing
And particularly is gratuitious per.

panied with a prospect of great anC

There is bill before the legisla-

itor; some of the newspapers are not
only advocating its passage, but are
advocating several assistants for the

become apparent that the object of
the office is to provide positions for
many who are seeking fat jobs at the
