Speaker Cannon, Secretary Of the
Navy Meyer and Rear Admiral Vain
wright were the principal speakers at
the banquet Of the American Society OF
Naval Engineers, held last evening at
Rauscher's Representative Padgett OF
Tennessee and Representative Roberts
OF Massachusetts, members Of the
House committee on naval affairs, also
made brief addresses.
Rear Admiral Hutch /. Cone, engineer
in-chief OF the navy. presided, and Wal
ter NJ. Mcfarland, former engineer of
the navy. acted as toastn1astcr. Many
naval officers. from the department and
from the fleet and several cadets from
Annapolis, attended the banquet.
Ovation for Wainwright
Rear Admiral Richard Wainwright was
given an ovation when. in the course Of
his address. he declared:
THE American fleet will not return
from battle unless successful. Should it
limp back to the yards victorious, then
II Is time enough TO think of repairs.
Naval warfare of the future will be a
battle Of fleets and not of yards
This was recognized as an Endorsement
of Secretary Meyers plan to have the
repair work on the ships done by the
line officers at sea. instead of in the navy
yards, and the naval engineers ended
their applause with three cheers for the
next vice admiral
Secretary Meyer was introduced as the
Secretary of the Navy who really had the
interests of the service at heart In his
address he outlined the progress that had
been made in naval engineering within
the last few years. and said that in the
last year, through economic methods.
there had been a saving of IA per cent in
coal consumption and Of per cent in
lubricating OIL.
Fleet Is Independent.
The fleet, he said. was now in a posi-
ton to look after it's own maintenance,
without having constant recourse to the
yards. He gave the engineers credit for
the splendid records that had been made
by the two fastest battleships. the Louis
lana and the Virginia. and said that these
boats had not been Overhauled since last
year.
He said the fleet was getting independ-
emf Of the yards, and that in the increase
contemplated the divisions will be SO
arranged that one ship at time will go
to the yards, SO that there will always
be fleet at sea.
Economy" he said. must be the
watchword. In the future naval warfare
may depend upon the ability to keep the
feet in efficient condition at sea during
q long and uninterrupted period"
Representative Padgett paid tribute to
the American of1cer. He said that in
ships. guns and men, the men were
the most important.
Representative Roberts spoke on The
Navy and Congress" and Speaker Can
non made an address on THE Navy
and the People"

New York's Former Police In
spector Was 66 Years Old.
DREW CROOKS OEADlINE
Amassed Considerable Fortune
Through His Friendship With
the Late Jay Gould.

NEW YORK. MAY Thomas F.
Byrnes. formerly chief inspector and SUI
perintendent of police OF the city Of New
York. but more famous for his work in
the detective bureau, died at his home
here tonight from chronic indigestion,
after an illness of more than two years.
He was sixty-six years old.
II was Byrnes who first drew the dead
line in the financial district. below which
no crook was allowed to stray, on penalty
OF instant arrest.
Byrnes was born in Ireland. but came to
thiS country when very young. He Joined
the police force early and rose rapidly.
At % he was captain. Eight years later
lie won promotion to the rank OF chief in
spector and was assigned the task of re-
organizing the detective bureau by his
persistency and skill in breaking up no
torious gang of burglars who had looted
the Manhattan Savings Bank of 5000, O0o.
On the day of his appointment he an
just above the offices of Jay Gould, who
later became his close friend and, with
other shrewd advisers. helped him to
make fortune in Wall street which he
in 1894. reached s35O.OOO Only last Sat-
urday he transferred to his wife real
estate valued at so5O,0OO.
A Noted Achievement.
Byrnes was not ungrateful. His friend
Jay Gould became the victim Of a black
mailer who wrote so many threatening
letters that Gould was in constant fear of
his life. The letters were always mailed
on Sunday. but never from the same
box.
There was no clue to his identity, and
to catch him seemed hopeless. Byrnes un-
dertook the task. First he distributed
photographs of an envelope addressed to
Jay Gould by the blackmailer among the
entire police force. Then, on a Sunday,
he stationed policeman, plain clothes
man or postal inspector at every mail
box in the city. Every time letter was
dropped in the box was opened and the
letter inspected Finally the right man
dropped in the right letter and was prompt
ly arrested.
Col. Wells as he was known, was
convicted and got long term. The case.
perhaps. brought Byrnes more fame tina
any of his others.
In the detective bureau the chief ruled
supreme. He hewed out all dead wood,
brought in his own men ano kept them
working. Arrests became more numerous
and sentences heavier. During his term
aggregate Of sentences imposed on pris-
oners arrested reached 10000 years.
