GUNNERY ON AMERICAN

Admiral Winslow Does Not Believe Navy is Even Moderately Efficient.

Washington, Feb. 24. Admiral Winslow told the house naval commit tee that gunnery on American ships started on the down grade soon after it had been brought to it's most eff ficient point during President Roose- velt's incumbency.

 The admiral maintained that the original plan under which the general board was created was intended to lead to a general staff. That, he said, was the vital need of the navy; all military functions should be under the direct control of professionally train- ed naval officers.

No Names on Ballot Unless Consent of

Boston, Feb. 24.-The house agreed with the senate today in passing a bill modifying the presidential primary act so that the names of candidates for the party nominations for president may not appear on the ballot for conven- tion delegates unless the consent of such candidates is obtained in writing.
 The bill passed the house after two hours debate. Opposition to it was based on the claim that it tended to prevent a statewide expression of opinion as to presidential candidates and that particularly those desiring to vote for republican convention dele gates pledged to Theodore Roosevelt might have no opportunity of doing so in view of the written consent clause.

FRENCH LINER ESPAGNE
 IS UNDERGOING REPAIRS,
That is Given as the cause~for Post
 ponement of Sailing.

New York, Feb. 24.-The sailing of the French line steamship Espagne, scheduled to leave here for Bordeaux tomorrow, has been postponed until Monday or Tuesday of next week, ac- cording to announcement made here today by local officers of the line. All passengers booked on the Espagne have been transferred to the Lafay- cite, to leave Saturday.
 The postponement of the sailing of the Espagne, officers of the line said, was due to the necessity of completing repairs on the ship, which left drydock today Denying that the delay had anything to do with the recent warn ing to prospective passengers in letters that the ship would meet with mishap from German submarines, the officers asserted that the line would continue to book passengers on the Espagne for the postponed date.
