Army and Navy lettings

Departmental advisers of the Secretary
of the Navy are still engaged ON the
draft of the regulations which shall pre-
scribe the duties devOlVlng upon the
chief OF naval operations. the new office
created by the naval appropriation act.
IL has been found necessary to proceed
in this important matter with much de-
liberation. Mr.. Daniels is DESTROYS of the
adoption OF regulations which shall he
dclinit" and 50 avoid any occasion for
controversy as to the functions of the
new chief.
lie appreciates the opportunity for
conflict unless the department succeeds
in drafting specific instructions which
shall be, at the same time. desirably elias
tic so as not to interfere with the sue
cessful administration Of the new Of
fetal or defeat the object Of the legisla-
ton creating the office. There is observ-
able ia some quarters a determination
to impart % the chief Of naval opera
tons powers that would naturally and
Icgitimately devoIve upon a thief of staff.
but Mr.. Daniels has plainly siEnit:cd his
disapprovaI of any such enlarged respon-
sibilities and authority vested with the
new chief.
Energetic steps continue to be taken
by the bureau of navigation of the
Navy department toward the organi-
zation of naval reserve authorized
by the latest naval appropriation act.
Circular letters are being sent to all
eligible former enlisted men explain
ing the advantages of the new ar
rangement and suggesting. first. con-
sideratiOn of re-enlistment i'll the
navy in which event previous service
is counted for graded pay in joining
the reserves at some future time.
Letters are being sent also to all
commanding officers asking that the
information concerning the reserve be
given to all the men, especially to
those about to be discharged with the
idea that they shall fully understand
the advantage to be gained by re-
enlisting in the regular service. II
, is now estimated that there are about
30. 900 men of former service who are
eligible for the reserve. and the naval
authorities are much gratitied with
, the inquiries which are being made.

ton school includes twenty-nine Off

were found TO be entirely satisfac-
tory, considering the temporary char

ties on North Island, in San Diego
Bay. where the school is located. Much
credit is due TO Lieut.. Col. Samuel

It has been the policy of the Navy
Department in regard to naval auxiIi-
aries. destroyer tenders, and submarine
tenders. supply ships. and so on. to keep
the batteries for such vessels In reserve.
1t now has been decided that these yes
sells. as they go into service. will have
their batteries mounted in place and the
necessary ammunition stored in the mag
azines. This will place these vessels in
readiness for active service without a
loss of time. which in some instances
might he considerable when the vessel
was separated at a great distance from
the navy ward where the guns and
mounts are stored. II is considered that
this separation Is a possibility of weak
ness and might easily lead to trouble
that can he avoided by the simple meth
oil of having the guns in their proper
place ready for use.

Bridgeport Conn. March 1O,-MrS.

this afternoon at sight of the blood
stained garments which were found in

woman who IS accused of murder mas
shown any emotion in the courtroom.
For five days she tas sat in a sort of
csllous calm from which no reference
20 the details Of the Tragedy could
s.ar,le her.
She went silently while District A.
torney Cummings displayed to the jury
a white shirtwaist and a black skirt,
covered with blood stains. In few
moments she recovered her eomposure
and was able to smile at her father,
who bent over her solicitously.
The stain on the waist was mostly
about the neck, from Che middle Of the
right side 20 the back.
That is about the position where
blood stains would be from q person
carried in the arms, is it not?' asked
Nicholas y. Downs, Mrs. Angles chief
counsel.
lir. Cummings objected, and the
court sustained him. However, the re-
mark served to recall the fact obtained
during the medical examinations last
week that the flow Of blood from Bal
