Boston, Aug. 3.-Burning with
hatred for their deadly enemies be-
longing to the rival On Leong Tong

men, numbering dozen or more and
said to be members of the notorious
Hep Sing Tong organization, entered
narrow alley in Chinatown, drew re-
volvers and opened fire upon fifty
Cinnamon, killing three and injuring
seven, four of the latter seriously.
At the first volley the Cinnamon
rushed for their quarters, stumbling
over one another In their haste to
reach shelter. The Hep Sing Tongs
chased their victims into their own
doorways and shot them down. Then,
casting away their guns, the strange
visitors ran through the Chinese quar-
ter, most of them escaping the police.

can navy has been quickened. Young
blood is to be put at the top. officers
past the prime of life, no matter
what their previous records, are to

Retired Officers to Rest.

No more retired officers are to be
given berths on the various boards of
the Navy Department If young blood
is desirable on the quarter deck and
on the bridge, the President believes
it is equally desirable when questions
of construction, of policy, and of
strategy are concerned. These mat
tiers, which are vital to the effective
ness of a war ship after it is in COM
mission, likewise will be delt with by
Americus times-recorder. [volume] (Americus, Ga.) 1891-current, 1907-10-05
To Make Navy Effective.

The orders looking to the with
drawal of all the older officers from
these responsible commands have
been prepared and soon will be is
sued. Only a day or two ago several
of the captains in command of the
battle ships that will. comprise the
Pacific fleet were relieved from duty
and younger men put In their places.
Other retirements of like nature are
to follow, as the President has made
up his mind that the navy will never
be as effective in fact as it is in theory
until officers possessing the aggres
siveness of youth and the skill that
comes from the magnificent training
obtained at Annapolis during the past
twelve or fifteen years are placed in
control.
The President as well as the young
officers have chafed under the slow
ness of promotion and the conges-
ton in the navy, which for years has
prevented men of known ability from
receiving a deserved reward.
An important change in the term of
service during which captain will
have command of a battle ship has
been announced. Hereafter cap
tain is to have such command for
eighteen months only, instead of two
years or more, as has been the GUS
tom for many years. This change is
made so that the department, by
shortening the terms of command,
may have the benefit of a greater
number of officers who have served,
in this important capacity.

Foreign Commanders Younger.

A study of the rosters of the
French, English and German navies
shows that the captains in command
of the great fighting machines of
those countries average in age much
below the captains of the American
navy. In these countries the man.
agement of the chief arm of the ma
val defense is assigned to young men,
while in the United States it has long
been the policy to keep a captain in
command. until he reaches the retir-
ing age, regardless of whether he re-
mains a competent officer or adapt
himself to the new conditions impos
ed upon him by modern naval CON
struction and modern naval warfare.
The young officers have been kept in
subordinate positions, and hope to
promotion or of achieving a record in
the navy has been denied them.
The matter has been the subject of
serious discussion between the Presi
dent and Secretary Metcalf lately,
Mr.. Roosevelt evidently has reached
the conclusion that it is hard to teach
an old dog new tricks. He appreci-
ates the fact that the best of fighting
ships cannot of themselves afford the
nation a sense of security. The ships
must be properly differed, and from
his point of view the proper officers
for these men-of-war are the young
sters who have proved their worth
and shown that they can and are
willing to do things"
For this reason the veterans who
learned their seamanship in the old
days, and who, in many instances,
have failed to keep ARREST of the rap
idly changing conditions, are to give
wayto men who are up to date, able
to stand both the mental and physic
al strain, and to get out of the ships
and out of the men the best that is
in them And the orders of the Pres
ident will go still further after they
have been fully worked out.
