was retained IN the office OF the State
superintendent of insurance today by
the senate over the recommendation
for his removal by Governor Hughes by
a vote of thirty to nineteen without one
word Of debate.
The friends of Governor Hughes were
utterly routed. and threw up the sponge
absolutely IN the preliminary proceed
ings. IL was the most open rebuff q
governor has sustained in New YORK
State in years.
The reply sent by Matthew Fleming.

Kelsey answer. was not even read. II
was urged that Kelsey's answer must
be read, also. and, thereupon, it was
decided 1t would take too long to read
both.
Vote Without Debate.
Senator Raines said all the senators
had the replies on their desks, and the
reading was useless. Then the vote. was
taken.
Lieutenant Governor Chandler put the
question: shall Otto Kelsey be re

Before the result could be announced
Raines moved that it be held until
Senator Thompson could arrive. Senator
MulIaney came IN in the meantime and
cast his vote for Kelsey, and RaInes
decided not 70 wait for Thompson. On
the reading of the detailed statement OF
the vote Senator O'Neu asked 20 be

LOW PARTY RATE

ATLANTA, Ga, Feb. 26-General
Passenger Agent c. B. Ryan, of the
Seaboard Air Line. created consterna-
ton among the members Of the South
eastern Passenger Association this af-
teraoon, when he announced that his
railroad will, on April l. put into effect
a fat 2-cent-a-mile party rate, applica-
bic 10 all parties or ten passengers or
more.
This means that unless the rate IS
rsSeinded, theatrical companies and 9TH
er travelling organizations which have
suffered severely because of the refusal
since the recent anti-railroad legisla-
tiOn in the various Southern States, will
again enjoy a reduced passenger rate.

President CommendS the
Work Done and Urges
Congress to Rush
Improvements.
Says Increased Com
merce and Prosperity
of the People Will
Be Result.

President Roosevelt sent to Congress
today the preliminary report of the In
land Waterways Commission and sent
with it letter in which he pointed out
the great value Of the work performed
by the commission and the necessity Of
a comprehensive plan Of action for the
future development OF the waterways Of
the United States.
President Roosevelt points out that
10 work should be begun until the funds
necessary TO complete It are available.
but that work once begun should be
pushed steadily and vigorously until it
IS completed.
Increased Commerce.
n his opinion. the greatest return
from the Improvement of the inland
waterways viii come from the increased
commerce. growth, and prosperity Of
the people. The President says that
adequate funds should be provided, by
bond issue IL necessary. and that there
should be no further delay in pushing
along work which viii prove OF great
benefit to the entire country
In closing his message the President
says:
There is urgent need for prompt and
decisive action"
The report of the commission states
that the railroads have waged war
against the maintenance and develop
ment of water traffic by controlling
wate- fronts and terminals, by dis
eliminating tariffs, r. rebates, and by
acquisition OF competing canaI1 or ves-
sels
Adjust Differences.
Tt "a rofnta5 ot7t that any sl1eceseftIl
plan for the improvement OF the water
ways must necessarily provide FOR an
adjustment Of the relations between rail-
roads and water lines. The report says
that relief from the existing condition
Of congestion can be made possible only
through harmonious cooperation. Con-
gress, the report says, should be asked
to authorize the co-operat zion and proper
development eOf existing public services
connected with waterways and make
suitable provision for improving the in
land waterways of the United states
at rate commensurate with the needs
as determined by competent authority.
Monopolistic Tendencies.
The commission calls attention to
monopoIlstic tendencies in acquiring
sites on waterways and the appropria-
ton OF valuable water powers from pub
lie use without adequate compensation.
The commissioners express the opinion
that laws should be passed so as to
permit the use OF all proper State, Fed
eral and municipal agencies in protect
ing from monopolistic control not only
the water power and its avenues, but
also the materials of interstate COM
merce.

nOught.
Scores Reut6rdahl in
Defense CT the
Ships Con-
StruCtiOn.

Admiral washington Lee Capps, chief
of the bureau Cf Naval Construction,
appeared before the Senate Committee
on Naval Affairs today and defended
the American battIeshiD against charges
Of inferior construction, made ny Reuter-
dahl and other writer's. lie declared
thet American war vessels were, ship
TO ship. the equal OF any in the navies
OF the world, and represented the high
est type OF naval construction.
Competing the English battleship
Dreadnought, with ten heavy guns, and
the American battIeship South Carolina.
with eight big guns, Admiral Capps
surprised the committee by declaring
that fin action. he would prefer TO com
u4and the South Carolina. lie claimed
that while the DreadnOUght had ten
guns and the South Carolina eight Of
LARGE caliber, the DreadnOught could
bring into action at one tine no more
than eight. and. therefore. the broad
side capacity of the South Carolina was
equal to that of the Dreadnought-
Greater Than DTeadnOught.
He explained further that the South
Carolina was seventy feet less in length,
and. therefore. offered a smaller target,
and that the South Carolna's armor
was as good as that of the British bat
tleship.
In view of this statement. Admiral
Camps was asked why the Navy De-
partment haG recommended ships Of
the Delaware type. He replied that he
considered the Delaware much superior
to the DreBdnOught.
Admiral Capps followed to a large ex-
tent the lines taken by Rear Admiral
Converse, when the latter was before
the committee yesterday He made
hight Of the qualifications OF Mr. Reu-
terdahl TO be an authority on naval con-
sTuction.
He is obviously said Admiral
Ca9ps, "a man OF not even superficial
technical training. He heads his article
with two titles. He calls himself an
associate Of the United states Naval IN
stitute Anybody who is interested in
naval subjects and pays dues of IS per
annum. can become an associate mem
Der of that institute he also styles
himself American editor of Fighting
Ships, by James "
IT was explained by Admiral Capps
that James the British editor of this
publication, had paid very high tribute
TO the American navy and had pro-
nounced the American naval vessels in
some respects superior to those of Great
Britain.
Defends construction.
Among the points Of naval construc-
ton discussed by Admiral Capps were
those Of an insufficient freeboard. in
sufficient gun heights, and improper To-
cation 5f the main armor plate. Admiral
Capps defended American ship construc-
tion &c respect to these matters. He
said the present style Of construction
was Pra cHcaIly identical IN the Ameri-
can, English. and japanese navieS- he
ceIled attention. among other things. to
the fact that since the Russian war, the
japanese had cut down the height OF
the freeboard, prefcrring 20 take their

Charges of IncompetenCy.
Taking up in detail Kelsey's answer
20 the allega lions concerning his con-
duct OF the dc partment. Fleming replied
10 IEelsey's statements that he was tried
without his knowledge and that the in
quisiton was not of a competent char
aCter. After commenting on the fact
that ne has been given altogether too
little time 10 reply TO each and all Of
Kelsey's answers Fleming says:
This question is not a personal one,
The only proper subjects of inquiry
should be the efficiency of the depart
ment and the superintendent fitness
FOR the position which he now holds.
The sources OF the charges against ann
and the manner in which the inquiry
was conducted are equally immaLcrial.
The object of introducing these ele-
mcnts into the case is obvious

Governors Second Defeat.
The action or the senate today marks
the second big defeat for Governor
Hughes Ia his fight Of two years 70
briu about the reorganization OF the
insurance department. Some or his
friends here say that he cannot COM
plain because he chose 10 take the
course that in the eyes of every 'prac-
/ teal politician" could lead 10 no other
result.
There is much speculation as 10 what
he VIII do now: whether be has auy
more charges to make against Kelsey,
or whether he viii now give up the
fight
While none OF the senators who voted
for Kelsey would express such an opin-
ion. the consensus Of belief today IS
that the vote imperils all the governor s
legislation and marks the beginning OF
q general attack upon his administration
which will lead him into another cam
paign OF appeals 10 the people.
