ceived here OF serious trouble in Italian
Somaliland, which resulted in pitched
battles between the Italian forces and
Abyssinians near Lugh The Abyssin-
ians were robbing, killing and imprison-
ing many merchants. Late dispatches
indicate the fighting was much more
sereve than at first reported and it Is
believed the Italian government is con
cealing severe reverse in order to pre-
pare the public for graver news. The
Importance of the situation lies in the
establishment of the fact as to whether

Considers AdvisabiIity Of Offer

BROwNsONAFFAIR DISCUSSED
Hale Explains That Bureaus Should
Handle Affairs Of Department Instead
Of New Style Boards-Tillman Would
Like TO Hear Brownson's Version.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 9.-The intro.
luction by dale, today, of his navy
personnel bill proved a general discus
sion oi naval affairs and recent occur
rcnces In connection with that branch OF
the public service. The Maine Senator
entered upon the full explanation OF the
provisions OF the measure today, with
his reasons for its adoption. He was
soon called upon, by 1illman, who asked
for consideration OF the bill and will
probably bring out facts relating to the
controversy in the navy department.
Tillman said he had considered the ad'
visibility OF offering resolution Tor
such an investigation Hale responded
that after looking the matter over he
had selected this manner OF action which
involves consideration by the Senate, in
stead OF submitting the department to
investigation. Hale said the first propo'
sition was to see that the business of
the department be conducted as it had
been in former times OF great peril to
the country, by bureaus and officers OF
the department. 1t is only in late years
that boards have been organized in the
bureaus, where the real work is done.
He said he had provided in his bill that
unless the boards are to carry out the
specific laws they shall not be continued
OF appointed in the future.
Regarding line and staff officers and
their duties he said he had inserted a
provision that the rank of staff officers
should not carry with it the command
of any vessel in the navy. In explana'
tion he said he had merely inserted this
provision in order that it might be dis
cussed blythe committee and perhaps by
the Senate. Hale spoke OF the naval
academy and of its magnificent equip
ment saying there are now ll64 midship'
men in the academy, and on practice
cruise, and il would soon be necessary to
receive into the navy only portion OF
the graduates and permit the balance
to 90 into civil life. Gallinger objected
to spending $l0,0O0,O0O or $l5NOOOO
for educating men who are to go into
private life. Tillman again entered into
the discussion and again referred to
the Brownson incident. He referred to
the magazine articles criticizing the navy
and charging that ships were being built
in way to flt them "only for the ash
heap" That assertion he said should
either be contradicted or the construc'
tion of such vessels stopped. "Will it
iind,a he said, "Why Brownson resign
edF and continuing, "The President has
given his version OF the controversy
but although he is great stickler for
square deal, he did not give Admiral
Brownson's version of it, want to
know whether the minority members OF
this committee will be given an oppor'
tunity to have the facts brought out
Hale said he hoped that there would
be no question of minority or majority
in the committee as it had always acted
as one body. 81 simply wanted to
know" said Tillman, "Whether we should
be stopped from getting Witnesses"
II should certainly not be in the way

Various confidential documents have
