Navy Department CensureS the
Corps Chiefs Whose Conduct
Was Subject of Inquiry
ELLIOTT REPRooF EoUIv0CAL
General Is Criticised for Profan-
ity but Praised for SOL
dier-Like Qualities
TAssociated Press |

WASHINGTON, July 15.-Personal
strife among officers of the United
States marine corps today reached a
climax when the navy department, as
the result of a court of inquiry, sent
letters of censure to nearly all the Of
ficers concerned. No further judicial
proceedings are contemplated. The
censured officers are Major Gen.
George F.. Elliott, commandant Of the
corps; Col. Charles H. Lausheimer,
adjutant and inspector; Col. Frank L.
Denny, quartermaster at Washington;
Col. Charles A. Doyen, commanding
the marine barracks at the Naval
academy at Annapolis; Lieut.. Col.
Thomas c. Prince, assistant quarter
master at Washington; Lieut.. Col.
Henry c. Haines, assistant adjutant
and inspector at Washington, and
Major Louis ]. Magill and Major Da-
vid d. Porter, assistant adjutants and
inspectors at Philadelphia and Wash
ington, respectively.
The court held that Gen. Elliott had
been profane, irritable and trascible
at times, indulging moderately in in
toxicating liquors, but never intoxi-
Gated on duty, and sometimes failed
to treat subordinates with courtesy,
DuI was usually POlAlCy SCACiOOob
truthful and a plain, blunt soldier,
open and frank"
Gen. Elliott was paid tribute by
the court for telling the whole truth,
''even to his own detriment."
q CONDEMNED AND PRAISED
Colonel Lausheimer, according to the
court, had violated the spirit but not
the letter of the regulations requiring
subordination and loyalty, had been
unmilitary, disrespectful and insub-
ordinate, and had made general instead
of specific reports against his superior
officer. But, on the other hand, Colonel
Lausheimer was declared to be a cap
able and efficient officer, and one who
was frequently consulted by Gen. FL
lott. Colonel Denny was held to have
Intentionally evaded answering Ques-
tions on q subject of which he had full
knowledge. AS to Colonel Doyen, the
court found that he failed to display
the proper respect and subordinatton
due to his commandant.
The court found generally that the
difficulties had arisen from radical
difference of policy between General
Elliott and Colonel Lausheimer through
the formers lack of firmness.
The inquiry of which this wholesale
action was the outcome was ordered
as the result of the suspension by
General Elliott Of Colonel Lausheimer
for five days on a charge that he had
been keeping tab on Elliott's personal
conduct.
Colonel Lausheimer then sought the
court of inquiry, which sat for six
months hearing testimony. At the bot
tom of the dissension in the corps is
said to have been the question Of the
successor of General Elliott when he
retires in October the fight being be-
tween officers of the line and of the
staff.

NEWARK, N. j., July 15.-President

Notwithstanding the prevalence of

is still as much used and in as
great demand as heretofore. In Sc

BILE to apply to the services of a
concern of long establishment, such
as the Glauber Livery and Sales

Gated on Third and Washington
streets and AFFORD accommodation
for 75 head of horses and also a
fine assortment of carriages and
storage for quantities of hay, grain
and straw The livery horses are
well selected for their driving and
endurance qualities and are kept in
the best condition. For instance. a
horse which has been driven in the
morning is allowed to rest during
the afternoon and in consequence
the patron is assured of obtaining a
fresh horse instead of a tired, jaded
animal. The line of carriages in
cludes spiders. high phaetons. traps,
cut-under buggies, runabouts and
all livery equipment. while in
double-team accommodation coaches
and surreys are in service. MIR.
Glauber maintains a sales-stable in
which he holds periodical sales and
receives by the carload fine horses
from the markets of Kansas City,
Omaha and Chicago. These horses

ber is an experienced horseman and
has devoted is years to this busi-
ness, though still a young man at
the zenith of his commercial powers.
His success is largely due to his
tireless efforts to give the public
the best possible service In every

SUCCESS A vERITABLE TRIUMPH
Norris a Rowe Celebrate the Twen-
tieth Year of Their Circus.

The well known and popular young
showmen, Norris & Rowe, are cele-
brating the twentieth year of their
circus by giving as pretty souvenir
as has ever been seen. Incidentally.
they have secured as fine an array of
arenic features, moved acts and sem
satlons as could we'll be secured.
Each season finds this show larger
and better than ever. This year they
come to us with all new tents again,
and the spread OF canvas Is larger
than ever. The show is as large as
and in its entirely embOdles every
feature known to the circus world.
The menagerie has expanded by ad-
ditlonal purchases of wild beasts, and
many births in captivity. The most
Interesting are a pair of baby Hon
cubs. The little fellows are mighty

show the past winter. and is doing
finely. Mr.. and Mrs. Leopard have

STATE PRESS.
For NIcCreary.

The Democrats of Kentucky might
as well look the conditions in the
fact that exist IL they would redeem
the state from Republican rule next
year. The state is Democratic, but
the party harness hangs more loosely
than in former days. and unless some
man is nominated for governor who
is clean and honest. and against
whom nothing can be said and in
whom the people have absolute con-
fidence. a Republican is sure TO be
the next governor OF Kentucky. The
people have over year to profit by
the mistakes of the party from i'm
pending peril, and II wise judgment
Is exercised; personal preferences
laid aside, Hon. James b. McCreary
will be the nominee for governor by
acclamation. There are many other
men who can win, but the best man
for the place just now Is Governor
McCreary, and no delay should be
experienced in uniting upon him and
making him the standard-bearer for
the next state contest. Victory
would be sure. and the state would
have four years of prosperity and an
administration which would meet the
approval of every citizen.-Cadiz

MIsDIRECTED ENERGY.

MlSdirected energy OF independent
departments, corresponding to lost
motion of badly geared machinery
lis one of the evils of our present
system of municipal government
The general council, which as a
body cannot be expected to have
accurate knowledge of the needs OF
the streets, and the members of
which make no pretense of repre-
senting the interests of anything
but their respective wards orders
street and sidewalk work done. The
selections are made more or less as
the tariff is compiled, by swapping
votes, each endeavoring to secure
something for his ward. The re-
suit is not always the concentration
of attention first on those streets.
which need attention the most. and
the consequence is patch work and
haphazard improvements, which do
not show the city up to the best
advantage, or work out most eco
nomically.
| Monday night the general coun-
Gil took preliminary steps to order
certain streets improved with side
walks, curbs and cutters. 1t is evil
dent that the council did not con.
suit the engineering department;
because the engineer informed the
board of public works last night
that a system of storm water sew
ers-another term for underground
drainage, where the surface is toe
level for surface drainage-mus
be laid before the sidewalks, curb
and cutters are built. This openi
a new problem.
This is one obstacle. We haven
heard from the street department
but it is to be presumed that com
petent street inspector would know
better than a member of the gen
eral council. which streets should
first be improved and how the.
should be improved for the best in
terests of the whole city.
Here the great advantage of the
commission form of government
with its correlated departments il
observable. The police, fire, public
works, parks, finance, clerical, tax
ing and all other departments arr
represented in the one governing
body Of the municipality, which IL
turn is subject TO having its act
vetoed by popular vote; its conduc
idirected by popular vote and III
members recalled by popular vote
That is the purest form of Democ
racy. with every voter directly par
ticipating in the government, an'
the administration of affairs concen
trated in the hands of one respOnsi
Bile commission.

IL we had been publishing a

SPECIAL SERVICE.

We are a modest little paper.
We subscribe to a first class tele-
graphic news service, for which we
pay a round sum. and we maintain
a modest corps of correspondents in
Kentucky and Illinois, whose letters
and kilograms we publish and pay
for; and we have a staff of com
petent local reporters and editors,
who cover the local news field quite
TO our satisfaction and to the salts
faction, we modestly apprehend, of
a majority of the families of Padu-
cab. We make no pretense of figur-
ing in that larger realm, which is
dignified by the presence Of the Chi
cago Tribune and Record-Herald,
the New York Sun and the London
Times.
We cover the real news of the
world, we may claim with all mod
esty, concisely and promptly. In
fact, when we observe the delays In
transmission of the special service
Of some of our ambitious contempo-
raries, we are more than pleased
with the result of our methods. For
instance. Monday evening The Sun
completely covered the vatican incl
dent, including Colonel Roosevelt's s
open letter to The outlook. in which
he explained his correspondence with
Cardinal Merry Del Val and showed
that the understanding between
them was friendly. Our local morn
ing contemporary failed to show up
a line Of the story Tuesday morn
ing; but blossomed forth this morn
ing under a two-column head with
special cable from Rome" on the
subject. Estimating cable rates at
a dollar a word, the morning papers
enterprise, forty-eight hours late,
must have cost 1t not less than
$4,000. OF course. that is a huge
sum for a Paducah paper. at the
present advertising rates, to spend
for the edification of its / 500 sub
scribers; especially since II could
have clipped the same material
from The Evening Sun and. several
hundred other papers, secured a
more accurate story and got to its
subscribers with 1t "a hours earlier.
We cannot understand the prin-
ciple upon which ii works; but we
presume our morning contemporary
is willing to sacrifice efficiency and
profits for the sake of Especial serv-
ice. Yet, IL we felt that way about
IL. we would be vain enough to pub
llsh the name of our special Roman
correspondent. However. we are not
proud. We are satisfied TO get the
news first and serve IL up accurately
and concisely. Our own special Ken
tucky and southern Illinois service is
simply to supplement our regular
press service, covering a field that
lies in the twilight zone" between
local news and news of world wide
interest. When you see special"
written over any article in The
Evening Sun, you may rest assured
that IL comes to us at extra ex-
pense. and when you read "staff
correspondence, you may lay odds
that The Evening Sun has sent one
OF it's reporters to the scene.
You may have observed that Sen
