VICE ADM|RALS
FOR j. S. NAVY
Senate Passes Bill Providing
For Raise in Grade
HOUSE LIKELY TO APPROVE

Senate's Action Is History Making,
All Attempts Heretofore to Create
Vice Admiral Rank Having Failed.
For the first time in the history of
the United tates government meas
ure creating the grade of vice admiral
in the navy passed the senate and the
likelihood is that the house, too, will
approve it.
The navy has long been a sufferer
because of the failure Of the govern
ment to raise the grade beyond a rear
admiral, but congress has never be-
fore seen fit to relieve the situation
although often appealed to.
1t has frequently happened that
United States navy officers have been
embarrassed if not humiliated through
being outranked on international oc'
casions by European officers.
Among those regarded as likely to
be raised to the new grade are Rear
Admirals Badger, Fletcher, Fiske,
Winslow, Usher, Howard and Cowles.
The bill was introduced by Senator
Bryan of Florida and provides that
four of the vice admirals shall be ap-
pointed within year of the passage
OF the bill and the remainder as soon
thereafter as possible.
An amendment by Senator Bristow
was adopted raising the age for re-
tirement from sixty-two years, as pro-
vided by the bill in the form in which
it was introduced, to siXty-ive years.
BIG Boost For Good Roads.
The watch dogs of the treasury took
to their heels as the house passed by
vote of 2S2 to AZ the Shackleford
bill appropriating $25,OOO,OOO, which is
to be the annual charge on the rev.
enues of the government for the i'm
provement of roads throughout the
United States.
Under the terms of the Shackleford
bill $25,000,000 is provided annually
for federal aid in the construction Of
good roads. The money is to be divid-
ed among the states, one half in the
proportion that the population of each
state bears to the combined popula-
tion of all states and one half in pro-
portion that the post roads of each
state bears to the total post roads
mileage in the states.
$19,0o0,o00 to Be Spent on Ohio.
A total of $17, ,937 900 will soon be at
the disposal of the war department for
work on the Ohio river. The rivers
and harbors appropriation bill, to he
reported to the house Thursday next,
will carry a total of $40,000,00O. for
waterways improvement. The Ohio
river, according to the almost unani-
nous view of the committee, is worthy
of substantial support. To hasten the
work of canalizing the river from
Pittsburg to Cairo, ILL.,, and insuring
nine-foot stage twelve months in the
year the committee has voted $5000,-
900 and in addition s350,000 is pro-
vided for open channel work.

"NAMELESS CRIMES" OCCUR IN SOUTH PARKS
DUE TO IMPROPER POLICE PROTECTION

With II million dollars worth of
property under their control and with
the biggest and richest tax income of
all the park boards of Chicago, the
miIlionaires who run the South Park
board are taking more and more po-
icemen out of the parks for duty on
the boulevards. And this happened
even in the summer time.
Leaving the parks with less police
men than at any time in recent years,
and with the lowest paid policeman in
Chicago in service, conditions have
developed in the South Park system
which are too nasty for any news
paper to print and pass the postal
censors.
Fourteen. men and boys guilty of
"the nameless crime" have been
caught in the parks of the South
Park system this year and then prov
en- guilty when tried in the municipal
courts.
A few of the offenders were hoboes
arrested in Grant Park. What is not
so generally known is the more Sc
rious fact that majority of the Of
tenders were taken in Jackson and
Washington Parks and the men and
boys found guilty are from respect
able" classes living in the neighbor-
hood of the University of Chicago.
The Day Book prints these peculiar
significant facts on the authority of
]. F. Foster, general superintendent
of all the twenty-one parks under the
Jurisdiction of the South Park board.
Sup't Foster was asked whether he
knew of an increase in the number
of young men and women or boys
and girls who demand attention from
the park policemen. He said:
There is always more or less COM
plant about that. Out of the thou
sands of couples who come to the
