RISK LIVES TO SAVE
MEN ON NAVAL COLLIER
Officers and Enlisted Jackies Battle
Death in Gas-Filled
Hold.

Readiness OF officers and enlisted men
of the navy to risk their own lives
at all times to save their shlpmates

the Navy Department from the com
manding officer of the collier Jupiter
which was made public today.
March Is last" the report says.
Ordinary Seamen Curtis, Fritz and
Anding went down in No. Is hold of the
Jupiter to coal the galley. About 500
tons of coal were stored in this hold.

that poisonous gases had collected.
Fritz. finding himself getting faint.
started to go back up the ladder. but
fell unconscious. Anding at once placed
the hosting line around Fritz. and
Curtis went up for help. Seaman Stan
ley then went below to bring up Fritz.
AS soon as the latter had been removed
Anding himself dropped back uncon-
scious
Others Go to Rescue.
'Boatswains Mate Leitner then went
down to put the line around Anding,
but found that he had fallen so far
from the ladder that the line would not
reach.
He then tried to drag .Anding, but was
himself overcome and fell back into the
hatch. Boatswain W. T. Shaw arrived
at this time, went below and endeavored
to drag the unconscious men to the lad
der. but found that he could not move
them. Chief Carpenter kemptcn and

II should find no permanent lodgment in
thls country. Nothing is SO dlstasteful
TO the American citizen travelling abroad
and SO CRATES upon his sensibilities as the
bureaucratic spirit which he encounters
everywhere and which is the direct. IN
evitable outgrowth of the system of life
tenure. The bureaucrat regards himself
as something set apart from his fellow
men. He lays claim to special considera-
ton and extraordinary privileges. He
wears the sovereign's coat as they say In
Europe and on that account thinks that
the Difference which is the sovereign
due should also. in measure, be paid
him. 1t is the insolence of Office
against which Shakespeare declaims. Let
not that noisome plant take root on
American soil.
Appeals to Patriotism.
The last section of my bill makes an
appeal to patriotic sentiment. 1t pro-
vides that messengers, doorkeepers and
watchmen shall be removed from the
classified list; that appointments to posi-
tons of this character shall be at the
pleasure of the heads of departments. and
that in every instance preference shall be
given to the veterans, Federal and Con-
federate. of the war between the states
and those of the SpaniSh-American war
The work these men would have to do is
light and the pay is good. There are
hundreds of the heroes of the great war
OF nifty years ago who, fully able to fill
these places, are barred because they
cannot comply with the literary require
ments prescribed by the civil service
commission. What greater need than Or
binary intelligence should there be for
man who opens the door to an office. or
carries paper from one room to an
other. or is on watch for a certain num-
Der of hours?
Il confess it offends my sense of what
is Just and right to see a lot of young
aple-bodied men-the majority of them
should by right be allotted to those battle
youth and in the vigor of manhood they
offered their lives to their country .heir
intellectual qualifications were not in
CURED into. Indeed, they were not even
asked If they could read or write. Why
should not now, in their old age, all these
supert1uOus obstacles be removed from
their way to places where they can take
comparative ease and yet perform all
the duties such places call for?
The civil service system as now con-
stltuted is a bowling farce. 1t works
on the now-you-see-it-nowyou -dont prin-
clple When it is desired to keep a fell
low out of office the bars can be put up
as high as is necessary to that end: but
When some favorite comes along those
same bars disappear as if by magic
Every one within the sound of my voice
knows this to be true. The people all
over the country also know it to be
TACT. The civil service system is scoffed
at and condemned as an arrant humbug

Debate Over Paper.

After spirited debate, which occupied
nearly all the morning session of the
conference. the report of Rev. John r.
Edwards. Baltimore. chairman of the
committee on the Baltimore Methodist
churches was recommitted for final action
later today. The report involved a plan
OF sustaining the church paper. which
has been going backward, by subsidy. The
name would be changed to The Inter
conference Methodist for the reason
that the central Pennsylvania conference
has decided to join in the plan for its
support. Rev. DR.. W. P. Shriner Of AL
toona Pa, who was introduced to the
conference bore this information. A
score or more of the clergymen joined in
ths debate on the matter. At times talk
was spirited.
The conference adopted a motion by
Rev. DIR. W. l.. Mcdowell of Washing
ton that the Goucher College million
dollar fund have special place in the
conference minutes in which pledges
and payments of the churches shall be
reported. The matter will be more
fully gone into in the reports of the
