NAVAL RED TAPE

JOSSPHUS DANIELS GIVES SEA
WAR HORSES NEW SHOCKS BY
ROUTING OLD CUSTOMS.

Washington, Aug. 6.-Requests
from various ports along the Atlantic
coast from visits from the battleship
fleet are being answered by the navy
department that compliance with
these requests will all depend upon
the early need for the presence of
these big ships in Mexican waters.
This would indicate that the navy
department, as well as the war de
uartment, is preparing for any emer-
gency that may arise within the next
few weeks
Uncertainty over the Mexico situa-
tion has served to attract attention
to the new head of the navy Secretary
Josephus Daniels. As a member Of
the democratic national committee,
ard as North Carolina newspaper
man, Mr. Daniels was more or less
familiar to the public, but as sec
retary OF the navy he is fast adding
to his fame, as he is furnishing some

Admirer and devoted follower OF
William j. Bryan as he is in most
matters, Secretary Daniels does not
believe this country can get along
safely with soft words and a weak
navy. He prefers dreadnought to
the Fellowship" and Friendship
fleet He believes in a strong, up
to- date sea force, and is not Of the
zone battleship' school. He thinks
the navy should be run primarily m
the interest of the country and not
primarily in the interest of the naval
service, or of the powder trust, or
of the armor plate trust, or of the
private shipbuilding plants But his
convictions on these points do no
make him a little navy man'-far
from it, His friends believe that

When he took charge Of the navy
department Mr.. Daniels promptly
made it clear there would be no
question of favortism by which Ger.
tain officers would have more than
their fair share of sea service, while
certain other officers would have a
proportionate Overplus Of comfortable
duty at social centers and particular
" at Washington, the haven of Amer
lean officialdom. II is understood
that Secretary Daniels is determined
not only to break up favoritism in
the distribution of the plums and
the lemons of the service, but 10
put a larger proportion of the officers
of the navy on ships and ship duty
and replace with civilians a go0dly
number of the officers who have been
doing civilian duty in navy yards and
at the department in the national
capital.
Demonstrations of special interest
in the enlisted men of the navy by
the new secretary have had two e.
fects--they have increased the num-
her of enlistments and they have
aroused bitterness in some quarters
and alarm in others, according o
the point of view. Directions that
officers shall spend a part of their
time in teaching the enlisted men
the three RS" for instance, are
naturally resented on the ground that
this is not properly part Of a ma
val officers business and would in
terfere with his other work. There
is a good deal of feeling, too, over
the decision of the secretary that ore

racks to be built at Philadelphia
shall be occupied by officers. The
thought of quartering enlisted men
and officers in the same building
however subdivided, strikes many
officers with horror They say it has
never been done before. Rather a
common observation these days IN
discussing the Wilson administration,

friends assert that he should lean

Daniels a Surprise.

pdnleIS oui uipIIsc'
The usual thing for a secretary OF
the navy to do is to do very little
of anything but look wise, and do
what he is told by the experts"
who are always at his elbow to eX-
plain the status or technical affairs,
and to offer suggestions, in their
courteo and almost irresistible way,
as to the proper course to pursue.
As rule the secretary Of the
navy is man who has had no naval
experience, and it generally follows
that he feels and acknowledges at
the outset his unfamiiarity with the
modus operandi. IT was expected
that the North Carolina editor would
completely repeat history, and that
aside from seeing that the south got
her full share Of the naval patron
age. he would be content to be tho
customary figurehead in so far as
the actual direction of the depart
ment was concerned.
Those who so figured know not
Josephus." They received a shock
within few days after his induction
into office, and they have been re-
ceiving similar shocks at frequent in
tervals ever since. No such naval
secretarying has been known here
for a generation. Red tape and GER
tain privileges of uniform and title,
which had acquired vogue which
it seemed a sacrilege to question,
have been swept aside without hest
tation by this smiling wiclder of IA
new broom. The house cleaning has
been so vigorous that the chief con-
Germ of Secretary Daniels friends
now is not that he will not go far
enough, but that he may, in pursuit
of a good general policy, be carried
too far Up to this time he has all
the best of it.

GORDON STEEL
CASE IS ARGUED
in Which City Seeks
to Recover Zimmerman's,
Losses, in Supreme Court

City Attorney r. c. Massee returned
this morning from ST. Paul where Yes
terday he appeared before the SUI
preme cour In the cast Of the City
of East Grand Forks VS.. j. Gordon
Steele 4 Co. Of Minneapolis. in which
the city is seeking to from the
defending auditing company the
amount OF former City Clerk Z. T..
Zimmerman's shortage.
There are four separate actions In.
Nolved In the case, and some time ago.
hen they were brought UP before
Judge Watts in district court. they
were taken to the supreme court on Il
demurrer, the attorneys agreeing on a
mode of procedure to appeal the cases
in order to determine the law inNolv-
ed.
The first action involves $50. which
paid j.. Gordon Steele for auditing
the city's books during January l.
1909. The city alleges that the audi
tors reported Zimmerman's books in
fine condition, when in reality he vas
short $1.9S4 at that time. The iirst
case is to recover the $3.50. while the
second action Is to recover the $1.9S4.
In December, 1909. the Steele audi
tors were called in again to audit the
books, and this time they were paid
$500. The city also alleges that this
audit was faulty, and, in the third ac-
ton, are seeking to this
amount.
The fourth case involves $5.339, the
amount Of Zimnlerman's alleged oc-
falcations.
Judge Watts held that the defend-
ing company was liable in the first
three cases. but in the fourth he held
that the amount was too remote. Fol-
lowing this, the cases We're all taken
to the supreme court.
II the supreme court holds that the
]. Gordon Steele company is liable for
the losses, the cases will so back to
the district court, where the city will
have to prove the amount of the de-
falcations.

last year was over 26.000.000. There
are 10000 places. towns, cities and
hamlets from which telephone mess
ages may be sent. This is 5000 more
than the number of our post offices.
10000 more than the number Of our
railroad stations and three times the
number Of telegraph offices in the
country. There are nearly $500. 900
telephone stations in the Bell system
an increase last year Of over $780,
900. These are the facts reported by
the American Telegraph and Tele-
phone company in reference to the
Bell business. It earned last year
nearly $4,000, 600. Will it be believed
that the majority Of its shares are
owned by ONE and less than z per
cent by brokers'? This is the best
answer to those who charge that our
great corporations are owned and run
by a few wealthy men exclusively for
their W benefit.
