NAVY CHIEFS HERE
FEAR STRIKES MAY
CRIPPLE WARSHIPS
Secretary Meyer Disturbed
at Prospect of Coal
Shortage.

Fear that the threatened world wide
coal strike may seriously interfere with
the operation OF battleships, at time
when their services might be urgently
needed. has induced the officials OF the
Navy Department to hold several con-
ferences with the presidents of the coal
companies from which the Government
buys its coal.
Following the return of Secretary OF
the Navy Meyer to the city the data
compiled by the department on the sub
ject will be placed in his possession,
and he, in turn, will undoubtedly place
the matter in the hands of President
Taft.
The crisis in China, the contemplated
maneuvers to take place off the Ches-
apeake capes next MONTH and the pos
sible need of waTships in other quarters
in the event Of international complica-
tions. makes II necessary that the Gov
ernment be prepared to Withstand a
long strike.
The present source Of the navy's sup
ply are the Pocahontas, the Red river,
and the Georges creek coal fields. The
Government has contracts with all Of
these companies which under ordinary
circumstances would not expire for q
year, save for the fact that there is a
clause in each one of the contracts Civ
ing the operators the right to cancel
the agreement IN the event Of such a
labor disturbance as now seems in sight.
In other words, the contracts would
expire on the day the soft coal miners,
| whose contract with the employers ex-
pires on April /, went out on strike.
The yearly consumption of coal by
the vessels In the service of the Navy
Department is about $4,000 tons. The
department has a reserve supply at
Manila which would enable the squad
ron in the Chinese service to keep steam
going for some time but the ships
there and in other stations would be
materially crippled II the strike were
to continue for an unusually long time.
| The grievance in the coal fields at the
present time Is specifically between the
hard coal operators and their employees,
but II the miners make good their
I threats. the soft coal operatives will be
| affected also.

BENJAMIN Fleet Board, president OF

denly in Wake Forest, N. c., last night,
where he was on a visit for mis- health.
Mr.. Beard was a Hell.known business
man, both of this city and of WASH
Ington. FTe leaves a wife and young
son, both Of whom accompanied him to
North Caroline.
For the last six months friends OF
Mr.. Board knew him to be In extremely
poor health, practically on the verge Of
nervous prostration. He was an active
man. a hard worker, and tool; great in
terest in his several business enter
prises, Born in Ripley. w. Va. thirty
six years ago, he came to Washington
while still young man, and identified
himself with the Semmes-ISelly Com
pany, and later purchased the Kelly in
terest. Coming TO Alexandria in 1908,
he entered into partnership with Mr..
Armstrong, organizing the Board Arm
strong Vinegar Company, said to be the
second largest of its kind in the United

them TO Alexandria, was in court as a
witness for Smith. Her evidence was to
the effect that the Newman girl, who In
but nineteen years old, suggested COM
ing here herself, buying the tickets from
Baltimore to Washington, and from
there to Alexandria, and that Smith was
not with them when the girl was taken
to the house on North Lee street. This,
however, was contradicted by inmates
of the resort, who asserted that the
three were together upon the girls ar
rival
In rendering his decision, Justice
Cation remarked that he had no power
TO try the case on its merits in his
court, and that II any doubt existed as
to the circumstances, he was compelled
TO leave the matter to the grand jury:
The fact that the Manning girl had
gone over to Baltimore for the purpose
of seeing her mother, and on arriving
there, returned to this city a few hours
later without accomplishing her pur-
pose, was the damaging portion of the
testimony.
Both the Newman and Manning girls
are held as witnesses without ball
When the latter found that this was
the case, she burst into tears.
II Smith Is convicted, the law sets
years in the penitentiary, with the OPP
ton of 1000 fine in addition.

NEW LUNACY LAWS
Hospital Superintendent and
District Lawyer Point
Need of Reform.

Changes in the present lunacy laws,
including provisions for a new system
of commitment and a dispensary for
the treatment of minor mental dis
orders, were advocated by DR.. william
A. White, superintendent of the Govern
ment Hospital for the Insane. and Fred
erick A. Fenning, member of the To-
cal bar, at a meeting of the Monday
Evening Club, at the Y. NJ. c. A. last
I'VE want a more elastic lunacy legis-
lation to eliminate the humiliating for
mality of commitment and embarrass-
ment to families concerned, and a local
dispensary where a mental sufferer may
go for advice before his condition
reaches such a serious state that twelve
ordinary men know he is crazy at one
glance" declared DR.. White.
"At present 1t is impossible for a
person to gain admission to the hos
pltal until he has committed some overt
or dangerous act
Mr.. Fenning outlined q tentative bill
that has been prepared by a committee
OF six experts named by the Secretary
Of the Interior, and supplemented this
report with Information as to local con-
ditions and the urgent need of remedial
action by Congress.
g. Many Cases Yearly.
when you consider that 400 people in
the District of Columbia are committed
to the Government Hospital for the In
sane each year you will readily grasp
the Importance of adequate and ample
provision for their care" he said.
"One year ago a man called at the
hospital and informed the authorities
that he needed treatment as he was
not able to restrain himself, but there
was no law permitting the superintend-
ent to give the necessary attention, and
hn nj loft he
poor man was brought back to the in
stitution in a patrol wagon. He had
cpt his wife's throat. That is one ex-
ample or demonstration of the need OF
a local dispensary."
The changes recommended by Attor-
ney Fenning contemplated commitment
without adjudication, commitment af-
ter adjudication, and voluntary or sell
on petition of relatives, supported by
the affidavits of two alienists OF
physicians, wl1ile the second would be
accomplished with or without. jury
and in either case appeal would be pos
sible.
Too Much Formality.
'Under the present system, commit
ment is accomplished only after lot
Of formality. First, two or three per
sons must make affidavit to the effect
that the prospective patient is danger
Gus or of unsound mind, and this mus
be substantlated by the affidavits o
two physicians. Then the sufferer il
taken in a patrol wagon to the hos
pital and within thirty days is brough
back in the patrol wagon in the custod
of the police and taken to crimina
court
"Then twelve butchers, bakers, o
candlestick makers. knowing nothin
about mental diseases, determin
whether the unfortunate perso
is sane or insane" stated Mr.. Fen
ming. After all this dsgraceful pro
.cedure the patient is duly admitted
and If not sane in the first place, n
Soon becomes thoroughly crazy"

MEN OF COURAGE WANTED.

We want more men of courage. Surely
that is what the world needs 10 make it
better
Not the courage to fight and die on
the field of battle, but to live in ones
daily work when there is much to de-
press; to keep on in the struggle when
failure attends their foot steps; to stand
at the post OF duty when it is but an OBJ
scure one and no voice of kind appreci-
alton is heard.
We need men with courage to tell the
truth at the counter, even if sale be
missed; to rebuke him who utters a pro.
fame word in a public place; to speak on
the unpopular side of question; and to
vote, from deep convictions. with small
majority. We need men with courage
to refuse to sign petition of an unwor-
thy applicant for office, and the courage
to do anything which NAL es a majority
to exclaim, "He is very eccentric"
Some men will face the bayonet sooner
than laugh. and they care less for a
blow than word of contempt. 1t is sad
to think how many have been led into
Incorporate and prohlgate habits by the
fear of their comrades laughing at their
conscientious scruples. Oh, for the
courage to say NO" when sinners en-
