THE LOG-BOOK

LOS ANGELES, August 1S.-Because
members of the naval militia were
barred from the dance hall at Avalon,
Catalina Island, July 8, last, Adjutant
General Lauck, by direction of Cover
nor Gillett, has issued an order pro-
hibiting either the militia or the Ma
ton Guard from landing at Catalina
Island while the island is under it's
present ownership and management.
Concluding the order, General Lauc1
says:
Especially does the Governor COM
pliment you for Withdrawing your
ship and command from Avalon be-
cause of the gratuitous insult to the
uniform of the navy of the United
States by excluding enlisted men from
the dance hall for the reason that they
appeared in uniform.
81 join with the Governor in his
sentiments herein expressed and fur
Their inform you that in the future no
organization of the National Guard OF
naval militia of this state will be per-
mitted by this department to land on
Santa Catalina Island under its pre-
sent ownership and management ex-
cept for purely necessary military
purposes"

The California Circuit Court of APP
peals has ruled as follows on the ques-
ton of delay in discharging vessel:
Delay in discharging through de-
fault of the vessels does not entitle the
charterer or consignee to damages, in
the absence of a contract for delivery
by particular day, but simply extends
the time within which the discharge
may be made without liability of the
charterer or consignee for demurrage."

Monitor Hero Dead.

David w. Orr, who was a messenger
boy on the Monitor at the time she
fought her historic battle with the Mer-
rimac in Hampton Roads, committed
suicide in Greenwich Village, N. Y
April so. He WAS a messenger boy
around the iron works at the time OF
the construction of the Monitor and
then became machinist in the Navy
After the war he returned to Green
wich Village and set up a steam-fitting
shop. He became quite noted char
acter IN the village and prospered for
awhile, but presently times began to
change and his business disappeared.
His eyesight failed and he became a
cripple from rheumatism, but he never
forgot the thrilling days of the fight
with the Confederate ironsides, and il
was an entertainment to the people to
get him stirred up to tell the story with
the fire of other days. In his little shop
he kept two highly-colored Autographs
of the Nferrimac and Monitor, of which
he was never tired talking. Despond-
ency seized him as his 61st birthday
approached, and lying down under his
Autographs, he put rifle to his head
and touched the trigger.

Editor National Tribune: Comrade
John McElroy in the installment of his
history of the Army of the Potomac of
April 16, 1908, says Capt. Huntington
was Acting Chief of Artillery in the
Third Corps at Hazel Grove. The off,
cial report of Gen. Sickles, page 387,
Vol. rs, o. r., says, II confded to
Pleasonton the direction of the artil-
lery-three batteries of my reserve
Clark's, Lewis's and TurnbulIs, and his
own battery" Gen. Henry Hunt, page
249, Vol. 25, o. R., says, ''Gen. Pleas
onton collected some batteries belong
ing to the different corps, Martins
Horse Art, 9th n. Y, six three-inch
guns; C1ark's Battery, LIST N. j., six 10
potinders; Lewis's 10th N. Y, six light
i0-pounders, and Turnbuirs F and K,
Sd u. S., six 12-pounders.' In relation
TO the same, Capt. George e. Randolph,
Chief of Artillery, Third Corps, says,
These batteries, with Clark's and Mar
tins Horse Battery, formed line dag
onaIly across the open field" The name
of Clark's Battery is not mentioned by
McElroy, yet ii took position at Hazel
Grove at about 10 a. m, and shelled the
Confederate trains and marching col
umn until after p. M. with our guns
pointing south, when the Eleventh
Corps broke. In obedience to Gen.
Pleasonton's orders we changed front
TO the rear, with our guns then pointing
north. A few minutes after a u s.
color was noticed by Jim Lush, who
called the attention of Lieut. Robert
Sims, then in command, and one of
Gen. Pleasont0ns staff rode forward to
reconnoiter. He was fired on by Con-
federate, and our line of artillery i'm
mediately opened, and continued firing
into the woods to the north for about
an hour, or as long as hostile bullets
came from them. About that time the
head of Birney's Division returned from
WeIford's Furnace. and all was COM
paratively quiet on our front until after
II p. M when Wards Brigade charged
thru the woods to the plank road re-
covering some of the guns of the Elev-
enth Corps and some of the guns of
Whipple's Division, of which division
Capt. Huntington was Chief of Artil-
lery. Capt. Clark was Chief of the Ar
tillery of Birney's Division. We had
some men wounded there that night
This is written that justice may be
done and credit given to one of the
best batteries of the Third Corps Capt
Clark is now Governor of the Dayton
o., Soldiers Home. There are no other
officers now living. One of Capt. Hunt
ington's batteries failed us the nexl
morning, and it seemed to a private IT
the ranks his guns (Huntington) could
have been saved, bat he claimed more

A. T. Finn, 7th KY. Cav, Hickman
KY. was prisoner seven months, and
suffered all manner of horrors and
hardships. Fie does not think that he
was any more deserving of any spe-
cial pension than any of the other boys
who escaped capture and kept up the
fight to the successful terminus Nearly
all of his company was captured al
Lafayette, Ga. by a sudden night dash
of the enemy. They Were new recruits
brought in to fill up the 7th Ky. Cav
The company was greatly fatigued, and
went into camp near the town, while
several of the other companies went
into town and took up quarters in the
Court House. OF course, the enemy
was Immediately informed as to their
isolated position and surprised them
The men in the Court House Jared bet
ter. as they gave the enemy a warm
reception and held them off until the
4th Ky. M'td Inf. came to their assist
ance. They had not been in the regi.
nlent 10 days until they were captured
