CLERGYMAN ATTACKS NAVY
He Designates the Officers as
''Loafers' and "Hooligans. "
From The Tribune Bureau.

washington. Aug. 15.-Naval authorities
are fncensed with the Rev. G. Z. Webster,
rastor of Grace Methodist Episcopal
Church, of townsville, y Y, for letter
which he has written the Secretary of the
Navy. They say that the Rev. Mr.. Web
ster has gone out of his way to insult the
men of the navy. The feeling against the
New York clergyman grew out Of the fol-
loving letter, which he sent to Secretary
Meyer.
Sir: of late the recruiting station for
the navy. located at No. 80 Manhattan
street, New York City, has been sending
my son, f. Webster, literature, urging him
to ioin the navy. He is but boy under
sixteen. and controlled by myself and his
mother We are in every way capable Of
educating him without any of the assist
ance from the loafers and hooligans that
make up the rank and file of the officers
who man the floating houses called battle
ships. I want this sending of literature
70 him TO cease, and appeal to you 10 stop
il. He is in 10 way qualified TO enter the
navy, and when of age Will think differ
entity Of it. 1t is a shame and disgrace 10
the nation when the Navy Department
descends TO such despiCable practices as
sending out letters and booklets urging
young boys to leave their MONIES LOT suCIi
life as awaits them in the navy l am
very sorry TO be obliged TO thus express
myself in what may seem strong terms
about such things
The Rev Mr.. Webster's complaint IS
founded on some circulars which are being
sent out to addresses furnished the re-
cruiting officers from various sources. II
occasionally happens that the names are
those Of boys too young to enter the navy,
and when this is known the sending OF
circulars is discontinued. A new system
of presenting the advantages Of an enlist
ment in the navy was recently adopted
with considerable success, as Is shown by
the increase in the number of recruits.
The Navy Department advised the Kew
Mr.. Webster that he had been mls1nformec
as to the character Of the enlisted force OF
the navy. and that there is no intention
on the part of the naval authorities to IN
duce hovs to leave their homes.

It is asserted that they surrendered be-
cause Of disarrangsment of their plans

OF British Honduras assurances when he
left Belize that he would not carry an
armed expedition from there against Span
ish Honduras. and the Governor is declared
10 have been deeply aroused by subsequent
developments in Spanish Honduras The
reason given for the surrender Of the rsvo-

Washington Market VIII Have
Clean Walks, Whatever Happens
REMOVAL NOW GOING ON
Dire Forebodings of Fruit Dealer
Offset by General Optimism
of Food Purveyors.

II was noisy around Washington Marker
all dav Yesterday. as T. B. rockingham,
Commissioner OF Public Works. had or
f1ered that all outside stands be removed
By Tuesday of next week
Most of the booths on the West street
and Fulton street sides were removed by
the early mart of the afternoon, but on
the [esey street and Washington street
sides few stray chickens Grained their
necks at the innocent passerby or
luscious peach tempted pennies from the
longshoreman.
The order compelling the removal OF all
outside booths and requiring those occupy
ing them either TO move inside or leave the
market entirely was made that the dirt
and waste of all sorts which formerly
accumulated on the sidewalks might De
got rid Of The order read that outside
stalls must be removed by August .. but
the date was extended to accommodate
some of the older marketnlen
The marketmen as a rule yesterday
seemed optimistic as to the result Of the
change As one of them put it: 1T won I
be hard on Us who have regular custom
ers but it may be bad for those who just
depend on transient trade for living
One fruit dealer said he thought going
inside would be an improvement IN Keep
ing the stock I'm order, but there were those
among the dealers in fruit and meat who
held entirely different views.
butcher who formerly had an outdoor
stand on the Fulton street side gave 1t as
his opinion that the whole thing was
merely the work of a fanatic who had been
trying to get such a rule in force for the
last four years.
Il don't see what they are going TO get
out OF It." he continued. There will be
just as much dirt as ever These long
shoremen will lounge around here and
keep the streets just as dirty as ever.
One fruit dealer said: My father and
my grandfather and my great-grandfather
have all been Americans. and tell you this
just shows what condition things are get
ting into. I, for one expect to see the
whole country go TO the bad in the matter
of a f-v- cars
Thc general result, Of course. can be dis
cove-osl only after the marketnen have
tried the experiment. fairly, but the public
at least is going TO have a clean sidewalk

ATTACKS REFEREES REPORT
Court Refuses Divorce to Mrs
Grace Fitch Conger.

In a decision fled at White Plains yes
terday Justice Morschauser. of the Su-
preme Court, refused to grant an inter
locutOry decree of divorce to Mrs. Grace
Fitch Conger, of Yonkers, from her hus-
band, Roy Conger The Congers were mar
ried in San Francisco in 1901. Recently
they separated. and Mrs. Conger brought
proceedings on statutory grounds. Justice
Keogh appointed H. Gassin, of No. East
SD street. as referee, to hear the testt-
mony.
The wife and her two brothers testified
TO having followed Conger from a theatre
to the Hotel Albany with strange woman
No other testimony was produced, and
upon this the referee recommended that q
decree be granted. After looking over the
testimony Justice Morschauser gave the
following opinion IN connection with his
decision: .-.---
II refuse 70 grant the tnterlocutory de-
cree. II is surprising to me that such a
record could De presented by an intelligent
attorney and ask the court 10 put its seal
OF approval upon it.
