ish prisoners would be encamped by

cation and instruction would be pro-
vided for. Gen. Friedrich also declared

Washington, June 1.-The Senate
Naval Committee to-day reviewed the

gun accident aboard the American
armed merchantmen Mongolia. which
cost the lives of two Red Cross nurses,
and prepared to make report of its
own, as ordered by the Senate.
The Navy Departments board of in

crew which fired the Mongolia's gun in
practice, and attributed the accident
to an unusual detection Of a brass
mouthpiece on the powder charge.
Secretary Daniels toln the committee
the accident probably was caused by
the rebound of the Drass cup used to
hold the powder in the shell, and was
perhaps due to sudden shift in the
wind. He said these cups have been
in use for twenty years, but the Mon
golia accident was the first in naval
records. The Secretary expressed the
opinion that the accident did not re-

in the heart Of what the major part OF
the nation has come TO regard as a den
of wickedness.
He has enjoyed the reputation OF
being the highest paid street preacher
in the world. From Trinity he received
a salary of $4,000 a year. No one will
ever know how much Of this "the
bishop" expended on himself. but the
poor will tell that he has always been
open-handed and has never withheld
his aid when money was needed 20 keep

Keet, who was kidnapped from its bed

Mr.. Keet repeated that he would

Rear Admiral Earle, chief of the
Bureau of Ordnance, said he could not
explain the accident, as q similar one
had never occurred before. He told
the committee that the navy now had
entirely abandoned use of the brass
cups in the shells, substituting wood
disks and experimenting with papier-
mache and cork.
Experiments last Thursday at the
Indian Head Proving Ground, the ord
nance chief said, have demonstrated
that brass cups were responsible for
premature bursting of shells, causing
