THE OLD SAIL DRILL
PsriIs the Modern Warship Men Do
Not Have TO Face.


One Of the dangers and one of the
hardest tasks OF the man-ofwar's man
vanished out OF his life when. with the
supplanting OF the friSate by the steam
cruiser the cid time sail drill became
a thing OF the past. Fleets In the old
days were continually exercised Ia
making and shortening sail, shifting
spars and all similar maneuyers aloft,
says Captain J. W. Gambler of the
British navy In bis Links In My Life"
AS the greatest rivalry existed among
the crews as TO which ship should
carry out the evolution first accidents
were frequent Hardly a drill day
passed without men being seriously in
jured.
Once during a drill in I1iel harbor.
where the rivalry in the Geet was in
creased by the eagerness Of foreign
ships to compete with the English. an
unfortunate French EiG5LiDnal went
head first from the mE:zen crosstrees
of the French flagship to the deck.
That numbers CT accidents should
take place in sail drill was rot aston
ishing when one remembers that spars
measuring perhaps seventy or eighty
feet long and weighing two or three
tons were wlisl1ed about with be-
wilderiEg speed with nothing but
mems hands ard brains to guide
them: hundreds cf r,cn cr2mmed into
a space of Il few hundred square feet,
where nothing but the most marvellous
organization and discipline could avert
death on &c CT aloft.

City and County Prosecutor Arthur
M. Brown this morning in police court
delivered himself of perhaps the most
telling speech that has been heard in
the district court for many months,
Brown is not usually fluent in Ian
guage, though he managed to observe
some important points. His speech
was notable for it's argument for the
preservation of the dignity of the po-
lice officer.
It was all in the case of Kanehaku,
a strapping Hawaiian, who in a fit of
drunken rage, attempted to overcome
Chief of Detectives Joseph Leal in the
discharge of his duty.
Kanehaku had butted into a crap
game on Vineyard street on Monday
afternoon. Joe Leal approached in =
buggy and saw the crap game in pro-
gress; he jumped fearlessly from his
rig and, single-handed, rushed the mob
that was violating the law openly by
playing a gambling game in public
thoroughfare, This husky Kanehaku
called Leal vile name, and, when
Leal attempted to arrest him, endeavor-
ed to choke the life out of the chief.
Leal pulled his sandbag from his
hip-pocket and right Justify laid about
him, right and left, fetching the bigger
and more powerful fellow, insane with
booze, several substantial smashes in
the neck and head and face, so that
he was stunned for a moment Even
then a broad-shouldered Hawaiian
workman of the Honolulu Iron Works
whose modesty led him to disappear
before Leafs appreciation HOuld be
expressed, had to assist the chief in
getting his prisoner to the patrol wa
gon.
Charles Chillingworth defended the
prisoner this morning and, in all sim
certify and in the able manner for
which Chillingworth is noted, declar-
ed that the blows administered by Joe
Leal were uncalled FOR 1t was here

ship Rosecrans in the head with a
hammer when Wynne was drunk and
did not know what he was doing.
Brown urged that Leal acted according
to his duty when he raised Jumps on
Kanehaku's head for resisting arrest;
and the criticism of local police officers
has frequently been that they are al
together too lenient with unruly and
dangerous prisoners.
Judge Andrade had to get a letter
off In the mail at noon and he asked
Chillingworth kindly to defer his argu-

graciously consented to do. 1t may

From July t up to yesterday, July %,

. The people of North Bridgeport are to have a new eight room school house. possibly one Of ten rooms There is little or no doubt but that this de- mand will be recognized by the tax board in February.
 Supt. Deane advocated the eight room building at the meeting of the Board of Education last night. He thought 1t would be filled within three years.
 His remarks were occasioned by the presence of a committee representing the North Bridgeport citizens. who re- lated the scf ool needs of their vicinity. Nicholas Tesiny headed the committee He said that within five year 137 homes have been built in the neigh borhood of St. vincent's hospital. Last year 4s homes were erected there abouts. Next year. he said. 50 dwell fngs are to be erected by a single con tractor on the Terry property. The little school house in North Bridgeport contains but two rooms and Is over crowded The children. some of them, travel three and four miles to the Wheeler school.
 Incidentally 1t appeared that the city now owns nine portable school build ings. all of which are in use.
 Joseph Stoehr. the Main street mar ketman, advocated a ten room build ing. He offered a site suitable for the location of a school without charge If the city will build at once His land is 300 feet above sea level on hill side. He regards 1t as an ideal loca- ton
