BAD FEEL INC RESU[ IS
Naval Circles Stirred by Resigna-

OLD WAR OF LINE AND STAFF
Chief of the Bureaus of Navigation Re.
fused to Assign Naval Surgeon
to Command Vessel.

Washington, Dec 26.-Not since
the days preceding the passage of the
personnel law ten years ago has the
feeling between line and staff of the
navy been so acute as it is today as
the result Of the refusal of Admiral
Erownson to transmit orders from his
superior officer, the president of the
United States, assigning naval sur
geon to command vessel in the navy.
In the case of the personnel act it
was Mr. Roosevelt, then assistant sec.
Rotary of the navy, who acted the part
of pacificator and succeeded in bring
ing the two warning factions together.
In the present instance, however, the
efforts of the president to reconcile
the surgeons and the line officers has
failed and it is probable that the
whole controversy will be threshed
out on its merits in congress. This is
much deprecated by conservative Off
GERS in both line and staff as likely
10 prove prejudicial to the nayy's in

IN TWENTY YEARS
Pittsburg Experiencing Severe
Epidemic Of Illness.

Pittsburg, Dec 28.-What is said to
be the worst epidemic of sickness
since 1889 is being experienced in
Pittsburg and physicians estimate
that thousands of persons are pros
trated by pneumonia, typhoid fever
and. especially, the grip. Through
out the city probably every home is
affected in some manner and scare
ity of employees in the large Office
buildings is seriously felt. The Pitts
burg Railway company is having diff
Guilty in manning it's cars on account
Of conductors and motormen being
laid up with the grip.
City Physician B. A. Booth says the
present epidemic of grip exceeds in
scope and severity all but that OF
1889, the worst in history, and may
yet break that record He considers
it contagious and believes the germs
of disease may have originated far
from here. In 1889 the malady's start
was traced back through Europe to
Asia and finally located in Hongkong,
China
Dr. Booth says people affected do
not give up quickly enough and go to
bed. His attention was called to the
fact that thousands have given up and
gone to bed, but he said others who
are struggling along with groans and
complaints should do likewise.
Pneumonia is likely to follow the
trail of the grip if prompt and proper
attention is not given it. Chronic af-
fections of the eyes, ears and throat
are also among the possible after de-
velopments.

CRIME WAVE AT NEW olRlI
Six Criminal Courts unabis x sepEI
Calendar Clear. RE

New York, Dec. 26-Although six
criminal courts are in operation in
New York they cannot keep pace with
the crime wave which has swept over
the city during the last year. The
criminal calendar carries 1,271 cases,
while a year ago there were on the
calendar but 541 cases. There are 1913
prisoners in the Tombs, 23S awaiting
trial and IS awaiting the action of the
grand jury. A year ago there were but
191 prisoners, 81 awaiting trial and
129 awaiting the action of the grand
jury. Present figures break all rec
ords in New York. District Attorney
Jerome say; the increase is due to
the natural increase in population.

ships, the cruisers. scouts and SUBJ
marines which form a part of the
years naval estimates, in addition to
securing legislation that will better
the lot of naval officers personally
the navy must present a united front,
which cannot be done if, just at the
beginning of session, line and staff
are to engage in a fierce strife
Through the published statement of
Surgeon General Rixey the merits OF
the doctors side Of the case in this
instance have been clearly set forth
Line officers believe that in common
fairness they should also have hear
ing. But they are in an embarrassing
position in that respect Admiral
Brownson preceded his resignation by
cold, clear and logical presentation
of the reasons why he objected to the
assignment of a physician to COM
mand the naval ship, even though that
vessel were exclusively devoted to
hospital uses. That statement was
submitted to the president and, not
withstanding the staff has had it's say
in print, applications at the White
House for this letter are met with re-
fusal. Now it is clearly impossible
for Admiral Brownson or any of his
line officers to make public a copy of
the letter without mourning the risk
of courtmartial on charges of disre-
spect towards their superior officer,
the president Of the United States.
So they can only look for a change in
the executive mind or for the congress
sional investigation which will de.
velop all the facts.

lands Resigns.
The Hague, Dec. 26.-The Dutch
cabinet, or council of ministers, com.
prising nine members by whom the
executive authority of the government
is administered, has presented its. res
ignation. 1t is thought that the dis
solution of the parliament is likely to
follow. The resignation of the cabinet
is due to the defeat of the army esti-
mates in the second chamber of par
lament The opposition in the dis
cussion OF these estimates commended
that the efficiency OF the Dutch army
was not proportionate to its cost
The Clericals, who are opposed to
the governments plan for universal
suffrage, are pleased over the situa-
