A big bull moose was killed by a
settler at Butternut last week, accord
ing to wire received by the conserva-
ton commission. While it is unlawful
to kill moose in this state the claim
is made that the settler was attacked
in the forest and acted in self-de-
tense. The animals have increased
somewhat in recent years. The affair
will be rigidly investigated, as clever
law violators frequently set up self
defense when caught.

FLEETS GUN PRACTICE
PROVES DISAPPOINTING
Officers Displeased with Records
of Atlantic Target Work.

"Anything but pleasing" is how Of
ficers at the Brooklyn Navy Yard sum
up the results of the Atlantic fleets
present target practice off Newport,
received at the yard yesterday. The
results Of last years summer practice
were likewise considered anything but
pleasing" and it had been hoped Ad-
miral Mayo would this season make a
showing which would blot out the
memories Of last year.
Fourteen battleships. thirty-fve de-
strovers, squadron Of mine layers and
sweepers and fotilla OF submarines
are engaged in the fleets maneuvres
this summer. The division will con-
tinue TO drill of Newport for another
week. il is believed. after which it will
steam 20 the southern drill ground
for further target practice. The fleets
schedule calls for a programme that
will keep il at sea until November /.
An important feature of the eX-
tensive target practice in southern
waters will be the severe test 20 when
thirty new l4-inch guns, mounted on
the Nevada. Pennsylvania and OKLA
homa. will be put. Admiral Fietcher
in the target practice last year had
great calibre rifles only on the New
York and Texas.

RAID BLIND TIGER
AT TRAINING CAMP
District Attorney and Sher-
iff Find DarrOOm for
Rockies at PlattSburg.
rFrom STAFF Correspondent Of Tho Tribune

tFrom a STAFF Correspondent OF The Tnhuncl
Plattsburg, n. Y. July 25.-John COL
Inns, local District Attorney, was a
rookie himself last month. Therefore
he has fellow feeling for this months
class. and when the news came to his
Office that there was blind tiger
across the highway from the student
soldier camps, he considered, before
taking action, the best way TO avoid
getting any of the men into trouble.
If the "joint" were "pinched' early
in the evening lot of the sons OF best
families might be trapped. SO Mr.. Col
Inns did not raid the place until long
after taps last night. when the last
delinquent rookie was tucked INTO ms
army cot. Then District Attorney Col
Inns, Sheriff Moore and several men
broke into a most respectable looking
country house, and down in the cellar
was found a neat little barroom, with
out a license. No rookie was present,
but several thoroughly unmilitary per-
sons were arrested.
The tip came to the local law officers
from the camp officials, who heard OF
the blind tiger and sent regular army
sergeant to get drink and the layout OF
the place, for, although it had been
suspected for two weeks, the police had
gone through it without finding the Sc
cret fountain of JOY in the cellar.
It was announced to-day that next
Saturday the entire rookie forces would
take part in q parade and review. This
will be the greatest demonstration OF
rookie soldiers ever held, there being
four regiments of infantry, two troops
of cavalry, battery of artillery and
n detachment of engineers, signal
corps. a medical corps and students.
Out of the many thousands OF green
men gathered here, few Of whom ever
tried themselves in so eXacting test,
n remarkably small proportion are
turning cutters, although nearly all
are getting far more than they eX-
pected. In the June camp, discouraged
bv rains and other hardships, the num-
ber of men dropped was about $50, so
that when the end came there were
only about LOO left Of the gallant
400 who started.
Out of the present four regiments
with the time half gone. there has been
n depreciation, according TO the best
available figures, Of about hundred
so far. But the gruelling week OF the
hike is yet to be heard from, and that
is a great climinator.

Notifies Congress Leaders
He Wants Senate Pro-
gramme Adopted.
BUCHANAN BLOCKS
ACTION FOR A DAY
Special Rule Will Enable the
Measure To Be Forced Into
Conference Tomorrow.

Washington, July 25. President
Wilson has determined TO stand
squarely behind the increased Senate
naval building programme. Word OF
his desire that the Senate provisions
be accepted by the House was sent from
the White House to-day TO Admnistra-
tion leaders at the Capitol, where con-
ferrees will begin consideration Of the
naval bill in few days.
Representative Buchanan. Of Illinois,
a member of the Naval Committee, tenn
porarily blocked reference OF the
measure to conference in the House
to-day, but leaders will insist on con-
ference, and the Rules Committee VIII
be ready to force that disposition OF
the bill when the House meets again on
Thursday. Representative Buchanan
objected to Chairman Padgetts request
for appointment of conferrees under
unanimous consent.
Whether President Wilson's influence
will be sufficient TO put through the pig
Senate programme, carrying provision
for immediate construction OF -FOUR
dreadnoughts and four battle cruisers
and "A three-year continuous bulldlns
programme, is uncertain. Several KEEP
resentatives sought to-day to have the
House conferrees bound on certain
amendments, but Chairman Padgett IN
sisted that they be left free to smooth
out differences at their discretion.
The plan for forcing reference To
conference on Thursday was agreed on
by Chairman Padgett, the Democratic
leader, Mr.. Kitchin; the Republican
leader. Mr.. Mann; Acting Chairman
Harrison of the Rules Committee, and
Democratic and Republican members oi
the Naval Committee. Mr.. Padget'
introduced a resolution making the
necessary parliamentary provision ior
appointment of conferrees. Mr.
Buchanan said his reason for blocking
action to-day was that the bill was toe
important to be left TO conferrees.
Secretary Daniels wrote to Chairman
Padgett to-day urging that the Senate
amendment stipulating that the pro
posed naval laboratory be located IT
the capital be stricken out. he trans
mitted a letter from the Naval Consult
ing Board suggesting that the locator
should be left to the discretion OF the
Navy Department.

ROOSEVELT SEES
CAMP BOYS DRILL
Smiles Show His Approval
of Junior Military
Training.
TBy Telegraph 10 The Tribune. ]

Camp Washington. Fort Terry, N.
Y. July 25.-The 1900 schoolboys
under military training here reached
the seventh heaven of their dreams to-
day when they gayly marched in dress
rarade before Colonel Theodore Roose-
welt.
1t was officially Roosevelt Day at the
camp, so, of course. it was a gala day.
Hundreds of visitors thronged the
borders of the parade grounds to
watch the former President, with
Colonel Andrew Hero. jr.. Colonel
Waulk and his staff, walk before
and behind the long line of cadets.
The many happy smiles that flashed
to Colonel Roosevelt's lips showed
how greatly he approved of the junior
military training being given here this
summer. As ne walked through the
company streets before the cadets had
marched to the parade ground, he fire.
quently stopped for a brief chat with
some boy he knew, or with the son Of
some close friend.
Before the review the Colonel took
luncheon with Colonel Hero and his
staff in the East Unit.
Last night Captain R. c. Eddy ad-
dressed the cadets on his experiences
on the Mexican border, and General
Chittenden told them of his travels in
Central America. The second school
boy encampment here is to open on
August % and 10 continue until Sep
tember Q. Most of the cadets of the
present camp who remain will be non
commissioned officers for the second
camp.
