Because the presence OF the battle
ships in Mexican waters has inter
fered with the completion Of the fall
target practice the award Of the gen.
eral trophy will depend upon the out
come of the spring competitions, it
was announced at the navy depart
ment today. From the incomplete
scores so far made it appears that the
new dreadnought Wyoming heads the
list with a combined score of 4I1a9
per cent, with the sister ship Arkan-
sas a close second at 40.937 per cent.
1t was said that the North Dakota
probably would have led all the ships
but for the fact that she had been OBJ
hged to go to the navy yard for re-
pairs at an inopportune moment.

which now are regarded as equal in
importance to gun practice, the Idaho

WILSON BREAKS PRECEDENCE.

1t is safe to say there has never
been such a precedent-breaker in the
White House as President Wilson.
The man has absolutely no respect or
compunction for customs, traditions,
and institutions held sacred by fetich-
workers when they do not appeal to
his common sense or to his views of
the fitness of things. The Washing
ton correspondent of the Chicago
Record Herald sums up the preced-
ents broken and relagated to the junk
pile during the first twelve days of
the Wilson administration. They are
a-plenty, as follows:
"First-Came the downfall of the
inaugural ball, with its money chang
ers and turkey trots.
"Second-The favorite barber.
President Wilson shaves himself.
"Third-(The blow that killed fa-
ther). The antiquated custom of pa
rading office-seekers at the White
House. No pie-hunters are admitted
until sent for.
Fourth president is going
to run the government. Politicians
may make suggestions, but need not
expect to see them carried out un-
less, perhaps, they coincide with the
White House views.
"Fifth-The president goes to
church to worship, not to be seen.
Crowds may gather about the pres
idents church door, but if he sees
them first they will not see him.
"Sixth-The gold braid and lace
business has been eliminated; Major
Rhoades, military aide inherited
from President Taft, dresses like an
ordinary citizen when he goes out
with the president.
"Seventh-The khaki-clothed mot
orcycle policemen who used to follow
the White House automobile have
been given other employment; the
president rides without bicycle es-
corts.
"Eighth-The ancient custom Of
draping the presidents box at the the
atre and playing the national athem
when the president arrives has been
put into the discard.
Ninth-Old 1T is said has disap-
peared from the White House news
and instead it appears the president
said
"Tenth-'That was said in cabi-
net meeting and cannot be made pub
lic' is of the past; what transpires at

"Eleventh-The bi-weekly cabinet
meetings are under the ban. The
cabinet will meet when there lis some
thing to be done.

! executive order has been stopped

THE WEBB BILL
CONSTITUTIONAL

Washington, March 24.-Represen-
tative Webb called upon Attorney
General McReynolds to consult him
with regard to the enforcement of
the Webb liquor bill law and ask his
opinion of the measure which Presi-
dent Taft vetoed because he and At
torney General Wickersham consid-
cred unconstitutional.
Attorney General McReynolds told
Mr.. Webb that while he had not per-
sonally considered the bill with a
view to determining it's constitutional
ity, several of the assistants attor-
neys general had and their decision
was opposite to that held by Presi-
dent Taft.
Mr.. McReynolds told Mr.. Webb
that he was doing his best to uphold
the Webb law and see that it is en-
forced to the utmost. He said he had
detailed Assistant Attorney General
Denison to take up the cases now

The news received from Kentucky
of the issuance of 70 warrants for
delivering whiskey in violation OF
the Webb law was source of great
qualification to Mr.. Webb, as it con.
tradicts the argument made by the
enemies of the bill in the house OF
representatives, that it was adding
useless machinery to the statute
books. The great number of war.
