established IN an Informal way yester-

Smith. just before he left in the after

to get IL cents for washing dishes from
o'clock until midnight
With $1,000 unemployed men walk

free employment bureau that would
make a speciality Of hobos would be a
great success.
Alderman Kenna. when asked con-
corning the bureau later said he was
in favor of 1t.

Smith, 18th his overcoat buttoned up

with their shoulders bumped and their
heads bent, passed in the rain.

streets after / o'clock. when the sa-

where to go. The police stations can't
hold them all, even if the police would
let them in. They drop down toward

in rows on the floor at FoIey's, Al

ADMITS OUR WEAKNESS
G. F. Goodrich Says Naval
Charges, as Stated in Mag
azine, Are True.

Chicago, Dec 30-The charges that
there are glazing Weaknesses in the
discipline and equipment of the United
States navy, as recently made in a
magazine article, were admitted to be
true yesterday by Rear Admiral c. II.
Goodrich. commander of the New York
navy yard, who is considered one of the
brainiest men in the naval service.
Not only are the charges true, accord
ing to the guarded admissions of the
veteran admiral. but many of the high
officials in the navy himself among
them, have notified the department at
Washington officially of the existing
weaknesses.
Admiral Goodrich stopped off in Chi

Admiral Watches His Words
When seen at the Chicago club the
admiral was dressed in a civilian suit
with black. double breasted, sack coat
He wore none of the insignia Of his
Office. He is a pleasant spoken man
with keen eyes and decisive mouth
overshadowed by stubby gray mus
tache. His hair also is gray. 1t was
apparent that he held himself in check
with some exertion.
One of the charges in the magazine
article. which was by Henry Reuter-
dahl. editor of Fighting ships and an
acknowledged authority on naval mat
tiers, was that criticism is stified"
Admiral Goodrich's first statement cor
rotated that much. When a few more
questions concerning the much talked
about criticisms were aimed at him the
admiral sidestepped.
Well, you know my lips are locked
against discussions refectir on the
navy" he said. That is az order OF
the department Yes. / believe the order
is much more exacting in the navy than
IN the army"
However, the admiral didn't consider

charged against the navy.
