OLD FIGHT REVIVED
IN NAVAL CIRCLES
Nine Officers at Philadelphia
Threatened With Court Mar
tial for Insub0rdinatiOn
Especial Dispatch TO The CALI

PHILADELPHIA, April 17.-Some-
thing so closely approaching insubordi-
nation has broken out at the Philadel-
phia navy yard among the pricipal
officers of the line-the active officers
who have served and are serving on
the ships of the f1eet-that the official
wires between the navy department at
Washington and the Philadelphia navy
yard are kept hot with dispatches
summoning League island officers to
Washington.
1t is a new phase of the old fight
between officers of line and staff, and
grows out of former Secretary New
berry's order reorganizing the con-
struction bureaus. Courts martial for
nine officers are talked of, and the
navy department is stirred as it has
not been stirred in years
INSTRUMENTATION CHARGED
The officers are charged with violat-
ing the rule Of the service designed
to stifle public criticism of the acts
of the department heads by the very
men best fitted to criticise. The off,
GERS maintain that they are guiItless
of characterization or infraction of the
naval regulations, and are backed up
by Admiral Pendieton, commandant at
the yard, who is quoted as declaring
that the officers are right and had il
not been that opportunity was not Civ
en- him to do so, he would have been
with them in their action
The climax of disaffection came La ST
week, when pamphlet more astound-
ing than any paper of its kind which
ever had its origin in the United States
navy, reached Secretary of the Navy
Meyer as message from a secret
meeting held on board the United States
steamship Panther at League island
March %. The meeting, participated in
by nine officers, must have dealt hot
shot for the persons responsible for the
present state of affairs in the navy.
PAMPHLET SUPPRESSED
The pamphlet was Immediately sup
pressed and every available copy was
at once sent to Washington under or
ders from Secretary Meyer
The officers present at the meeting
were these, all of them prominent i'm
the service and hitherto regarded as
the most circumspect disciplinarians in
the-navy:
Captain Albert G. Berry, chairman of
the committee; CommanderNB. C. Bryan,
treasurer; Lieutenant Commander J. s.
McKean, Lieutenant Commander N. C.
Twining, secretary; Lieutenant Com
mander r. d. Hasbrouck. Lieutenant e.
III. Delany, Lieutenant G. w. Steele Jr..
Ensign H. T. Dyer and Midshipman w
S. Farber.
ADMIRAL UPHOLDS OFFICERS
Admiral Pendelton. who was absent
from the yard when the meeting took
place, is quoted as saying he regrets
that he had not the opportunity to take
part in the action. He declined this
afternoon to be interviewed on the
matter.

AT THE GEM

While the Gem theatre has been
presenting only top line features Of
late in vaudeville productions, the
bill opening there today is among the
leaders of them all.
Vaudeville acts are the big items
Of the program, and include such emil
nent features as MAUD Emmett and
Lawer Will direct from the Orph-
cum circuit, and offering their novel
ty kid &C: in vocal and instrumental
specialties. The other act on the bill
is a character musical skit presented
by George McDell and Carbley Irene,
entitled Summer Boarders, and Sum-
Riot" Their act introduces six diff
ferent characters and presents three
novel musical surprises.
The bill of animated pictures also
contains leading features such as that
of a drama, "A Florida Fued;" seen
ic production, "St. Moritz, Winter
Sports" and a comedy, which is a
big one, entitled "Mr Soaker at the
Seaside"

WILL BE A GREAT SHOW

Manager Vesperman has purchased
100 fine mahogany chairs to increase
the seating capacity Of the opera
house as it certainly will be needed
to accommodate the crowd when "A
Stubborn Cinderella" comes to town
next Thursday. All the woodwork
above the stage of the house has been
removed and it will now be possible
for any scenery used in the larger
theatres and carried by troupes to
be placed in the house, and as the
Cinderella company carries five car
loads it is fair to presume that no
better stage effects will ever be seen
in this city. The seat sale opens at
Knowles & Haney's Monday morning,
so be early on the ground.

TO FORM A RACING ASSOCIATION.

All those interested in the forma-
ton of racing association are re-
quested to meet at the Commercial
Club rooms Monday evening at 8
o'clock, as an effort will then be made
to organize an association which will
secure good grounds and assure some
fine sport this year. Bismarck is
one of the few cities of the state
which does not boast of race track
of more or less pretentions and as
the city has a great many lovers of
horse flesh it seems strange. that this
matter has been overlooked so long.
