PREVENTS
NEW YORK SAILING
SliIors Have Narrow Escape
on BattIeship in Roads When
Launch Crashes on Deck.

Owing to an accident on the battle
ship New York. now in Hampton
Roads, yesterday afternoon the big
lighters did not sail for China ac-
cording TO the orders received by the
ship
Shortly after IL o'clock. when the
ship was getting ready to sail for the
Orient, one OF the sman launches,
which was being hOisted 10 its moor
ing, slipped and crashed into spin
tiers, and the deck of the battle
ship was injured. Several sailors had
narrow escapes from injuries, but ac
cording to reports brought to Old
Point. no One was hurt.
The accident. it was said. will prob
ably detain the New York for sew
eral days. and may result in the ship
being sent to the Portsmouth navy
yard for repairs.
II is expected that the journey to
China will be made as soon as the
ship is inspected and the damages re-
paired
The New York will become the
flagship of the Asiatic squadron upon
her arrival in Chinese waters.

that Major Cooper had been convicted
contrary to law and the evidence.
The murder OF Carmack was a de

we're political enemies and the sena'

mack that II the latter published any

kill him. Afterward Carmack wrote
and published this

Then Cooper and his son took their
guns and went after Carmack. They
met him in the street and shot MIN

first degree. then all the laws against
murder in our code might as we'll be

the interests of a friend are involved.

of the Hampton High school nine
scored a clean single and won the

the contest almost sensational fin
ish
The visitors started out by hammer
ing out two runs in the. initial in
ming. but after that time Phoebus
was unable to send man around the
three sacks to home plate.
Hampton scored TWO runs in the
third inning and from that moment
up to the finish neither team had the
better of the argument. 1t was simp-
ly fast. snappy ball playing on the
part of both mines and every play
er seemed 10 be right for an extend
ed battle
Johnson and Wilson did the twirl
ing for Hampton, while Seymour and
Allen were the pitchers for the

An increase of $25 was made in the

THE POLICE DEPARTMENT
CHANGES.

IL was unfortunate that Chief OF
Police REYNOLDS saw At 10 decline the
continue at the head of the depart
ment. The city has never had his
equal in the position and Is not likely
TO get better man In the future.
However, the chief presented his
resignation in such way that the
commissioners could not do otherwise
than accept II. The department and
the city are to be congratulated that
the chief, at his own request, is to be
retained In the service as detective
sergeant He is peculiarly well fitted
In temperament. talent and ex-
perience fer detective work, and his
record during the years he formerly
held the position TO which he has now
been appointed is sufficient assurance
of what he will do for the city IN
this capacity again.
In reorganizing the force so as TO
accept the chiefs resignation and at
the same time retain him in the ser
vice, the board made the natural and
logical changes Sergeant T. A.
Mitchell, who is Co be elevated to the
rank of chief, is now the ranking Of
ficer under the chief and his promo
ton was to be expected unless there
was some very good EeasOn for chang
ing the order. And what is more TO
the point. the sergeant is well equip
ped to fill his new position and de
serves the promotion for efficient and
faithful service in the past. He has
been connected with the force TOT
many years, serving as patrOlm1n.
as acting detective and as senior uni
form sergeant. and giving a good &C
count of himself in each position.
Sergeant Bridgers, who gives up the
detective work TO make way for the
retiring chief. will succeed Sergeant
Mitchell. In this instance. too. the
board pursued the natural course.
Though Sergeant Bridgers does not
possess. or claim to possess. the Pc
culiar qualities that are essential TO
marked success rs a detective, he
should make the new chief trusty
and capable lieutenant as a uniform
sergeant
In spite of what sclfconsttuted
public regulators may say on che sub
jec;. Newport News has reason fOl
reason for being well satisfied with
its police department. No department
ever will BE- perfect, but the loca
force. on the whole. is active. capable
and Trustworthy. This is a good dea
to say: more than can h. said about
the departments Of many cities

MR.. JEFFERSON AND THE NEWS
PAPER

The Richmond Virginian prints in
its editorial columns a letter written
by Thomas Jefferson to a friend about
editors. Mr.. jefferson scores news
papers in general, declaring that moth
ing can be bel eyed that is seen in
newspaper and that truth itself
becomes suspicious by being put into
that polluted vehicle" Again, Mr..
jefferson says, Il will add. that The
man who never looks into a news
paper Is better informed that he who
reads them; inasmuch as he who
knows nothing is nearer to truth than
he whose mind is filed with false
hoods and errors. He who reads moth
ing will still learn the great facts,
and the details are false"
1t would be unfair TO the news
papers, and vastly more unfair to the
memory of the greatest statesman in
the history of Virginia and of Ameri-
ca, to attempt to apply these strict
ures 10 the newspapers of today. II
would be an insult to the intelligence
of any public man of today TO quote
him as saving that the man who
never looks into a newspaper is bet
ter informed than he VINO reads
them" Even President Taft, who ac-
cUses the newspapers OF being an
fair to him: even MIR. Aldrich, MIR.
Ball.nger. Uncle Joe" Cannon or Mr.
Hitchcock. and even the rankest OF
publicity hating corporate pirates,
would admit that a man must be an
iguoramus TO make such a statement
1t seems strange that the great ad-
vocate of the free press should have
written in this vein at all. but II is
possible that the conditions existing
at the time warranted the cxtrlor-
binary dcnunciation Aad in con-
Sidcring the statement quoted and
and others appearing in the letter re-
produced by the VirEinian. We must
remember that the publications refer
red to by MIR. Jefferson we're not

HIGH PRICE OF LIVING
AT HOME AND ABROAD
Figures Given By Secretary
Meyer.

Washington, D. c., March IS
Some interesting cost of living figures
have been presented by Secretary
Meyer of the navy in accordance with
a resolution introduced in congress
showing the prices paid for articles
of food in various parts of the world
by United States vessels during the
year 1909.
According to the secretary's COM
parative, Cheefoo Hong Kong and
other Chinese coast cities offer the
cheapest prices. On the whole, it
appears that the navy department pays
more for it's foodstuffs at home than
abroad.
Fresh beef ranged from cents per
pound at Key West and 10 cents at
Pensacola, in the United States, to
4 and S cents at Chhfoo, the lowest
foreign point, and Is cents at Gibral-
tar, the highest. Boston charged z,
New York 8 1-2 and Washington and
