BROWNS0N CASE Up
NAVY DEPARTMENT DATA FOR
WARDED TO CONGRESS.
QUESTION WAS ONE OF COMMAND
Bear Admiral Contends for Line Otti-
GERS in Charge Of Floating
Hospitals.

WASHINGTON, D. C.-Secretary OF
the Navy Metcalf has replied TO the
call from Congress for information rel
alive to the assignment of stan OIL
GERS to command of hospital ships, IN
which he furnished everything in the
records Of his department. The call
was predicated upon the Roosevelt
Rrownson incident, and the secretary
reply includes the memorandum OF the
rear admiral, who recently retired with
scant ceremony from the bureau OF
navigation.
Admiral Brownson holds that wheth'
er hospital ships or not, such vessels
a. the Relief must accompany Meet
to fulfill their purpose, and to DO so
must be navigated and handled in the
same seamanlike manner which Is re-
onired of all vessels to assure safety
on the high seas. There is nothing IN
the training of medical officer the
admiral contends, which fits him Tor
such command. II requires Just as
skillful a navigator to pilot a hospital
shin as it does to pilot a man of war
the difficulties are wholly independent
of the internal arrangements of the
vessel or the uses to which it may be
put ,
Existing regulations give medical OF
fcers all necessary authority to con
troll and care for their department
aboard ship. Yet the surgeon general
saws Admiral Brownson, seems to be
l,eye that the navigation, safe conduct
and general administration OF a sea
going vessel are secondary as regard.

graph operators or cable engineers are

Schools Noed Money.

Reports received at the office OF the
State superintendent Of education indi'
cate that in the several Counties the
public schools are badly in need OF
their pro rata share of the common
school fund distribution for January.
The shortage of funds has not caused
any schools to close, however, and it is
likely that all will manage to run until
the legislature makes the approprla-
tion for the next biennial period. A
determined effort is being made TO Sc
cure an increase of about $3.50 QUO per
annum in the allowance for coumon
schools, and it is claimed that this
amount is needed in view OF the large
increase OF enrollmennt during the
Dast two years.
