.HAB|TUES OF CLUB
LEAP FROM WINDOWS
when POLICE COME

Robert De Vinney, corresponding
secretary of the Oneida Club" a
colored organization, 724 North D
street, which was raioed by the po-
lice Sunday afternoon, entered a plea
of not guilty to a charge of having
conducted blind tiger when ar
raigned in city court this morning.
The hearing of the case was set for
tomorrow morning. De Vinney was
released on $500 bond.
The club is located on the second
floor of house in the rear of No.
fire department station. Five OF the
club members escaped the police
dragnet by leaping out of windows.
One greatly excited man dived head
first from a window but apparently
was not injured as he made good his
escape.
The police were able to round up
about twenty-five club patrons and
enough booze to stock saloon Among
those caught in the police trap were
four white men and four colored girls.
One of the girls was dragged from be-
meath bed. No charges have been
preferred against anyone except De
Vinney.
Great excitement reigned when the
police broke into the club rooms.
De Vinney asserts that the booze
was the private property of the club
members, ordered especially for their
own use and that the club did not sell
booze to its patrons. Among the
things removed from the club was
a cash register. The raid was made
by Chief Goodwin. Commissioner Ev-
ersman and Officers vogelsong. Fee,
Westenberg, Lawler and Wenger.

that some allowance might be made
for inability to come up to American
expectations.
The Mexican temper was plainly In
opposition to much In the alliance.

TO SECURE EFFICIENT FIGHT
ING FORCE IN U. S.
Admiral Criticises Methods of Naval
Academy, Urging Many Changes,
in Address Before House
Naval Committee.

Washington. - The United States
| navy's whole system OF government
and operation, from education Of Off
GERS to questions of ship and gun
construction, was sharply criticized
before the house naval committee on
Friday by Admiral Cameron MGR.
Winslow, commander-in-chief OF the
Pacific fleet.
Without radical changes the ad-
miral declared, fully efficient
fighting force comparable to the
British navy could not be produced
in fifty years
On Thursday Admiral Winslow told
the committee the establishment of a
general staff composed of active line
officers was vital necessity. On Fri
day he amplifed this view, declaring
the system of education at Annapolis
naval academy was wrong He urged
restoration of the old grade of mid
shipman in the feet, Boys should
enter the service at from IA to Ii
years old he said, spend two years
In preliminary schooling ashore, then
go to sea to acquire the sea habit"
from actual contact with things of the
sea before completing their education
ashore.
The polytechnic education now Civ
en- midshipmen at the academy is ut
terly unsuited, the admiral declared,
to the training of men to handle ships
and combinations of ships at sea. He
lcu'd see no value to be gained from
making all navy officers experts in
higher mathematics and thought con
structors. engineers and ordnance ex-
perts should be trained as specialists
and never be called upon to command
ships.

EQUATIONS while dissension in con
gress weakens his position before the
world, so he called for a showdown on
the pending proposals to warn Amer
lcans OIL merchant ships of the Euro
pean belligerents armed for defense.
Making clear that he considers the
president, and not congress, charged
with the conduct of the foreign rela-
tons of the United States, he wrote
letter to Representative Pou act
ing chairman of the house rules com
mittee, asking him to provide parlia-
mentary means for bringing the agita-
ton out into the open on the floor of
the house for full discussion and
vote. Later he summoned Senator
Stone and Representative Flood, chair
man of the foreign affairs commit
tees, and Senator Kern, majority lead
er in the senate, for conference at
the White House, at which he re-
quested that one of the various pend.
ing resolutions be acted upon in both
houses.
administration leaders, working
steadily for the last week strength
ening their lines and counting on the
support of the Republicans, now are
so sure of their position that they
plan to end all agitation with a vote
OF confidence in the president
This course was decided upon after
Tuesdays cabinet meeting, at which it
was discussed, and after weeks
quiet steady work at the capitol.
Prompt action is desired, particularly
in the house, where agitation has
been most turbulent, and where Speak
er Clark predicted anti-administra,
ton resolutions, when first introduced,
would have passed by majority of
two to one. There never has been
any question of the administration
control on the senate side.
