Lord
Commissioner Oyster said that he
had not been officially notified of the
request of Inspector Grant Chief Of
Detectives, for the removal from the
Detective Bureau OF Lieut.. Guy Bur
1ingame, night chief of detectives.
He said he has been informed that
the request has been made, Lut that
the papers in the case had not been
brought TO him.u to the time he
left the office last evening.
In connection with the requested
removal OF Lieutenant Burlingame
from headquarters, It was learned last
night that four detectives attached to
the Detective Bureau had preferred
written charges against Burlingame.
FRACTIONAL FIGHTS.
The police force for the past sew
eral months has been the scene of
bitter factional fights. The principal
contest has been between Major Cess
ford and Inspector Grant, who had
aspirations to be Major and Superin-
tendent of Police, and had been told
that he would be given the hearty
support Of the incoming administra-
tion.
When IL was noised abroad that
Inspector Grant was after the place,
n sort of armed neutrality sprang up
between the head OF the Police De-
psrtment and his chief of detectives.
This was brought to a head one
morning when Major Gessford APP
peared at rollcall in the detective bu-.
reau and declared he was not getting
the proper support from the bureau.
Commissioner Oyster entered into
the fight and told both officials they
must work In harmony or they would
have to get out. This same advice
was given to the entire Police De-
partment. and since that time things
have been working smoothly, to all
outward appearances.
However. every few days rumors of
more fghting were heard, but the diff
ferences never reached the stage that
required the attention of Commits
sioner Oyster. The request for the
transfer of Lieutenant Burlingame last
week was the first outward sign of
differences since Commissioner
Oyster interviewed in the Gessford-
Grant row.

the part OF other nations. The
question Is pertinently put by naval
people here why this activity in
Japanese naval construction. That
1t is feverish Is further demonstrated
by the fact that her yards are over
crowded with naval work, and con-
tracts for one naval vessel have Just
been awarded to yard in the
United States-said TO have. been the
only contract for construction
awarded to an American yard last
month.
NAVY YARDS AND VOTES,
Naval of1cers with whom I have
talked are inclined to resent Bit
terly the insistence of Congress upon
reducing the numbers of the hghting
men, in face of the unwillingness of
the politicians to prune down the
civilian force or to reduce the num-
bers OF useless navy yards. The man
afioat doesn't vote, nor does a battle
ship more OF less affect real estate
values anywhere. When a navy yard,
long since made utterly useless for
any service, is threatened with
abandonment the people OF the vicin-
ity rally, as one man for its protec-
ton; when a dreadnaught recon-
mendsd by the Department is remore-
lessly cut out OF the appropriations
nobody seems TO make II his busi-
ness to fight for its retention. This
year even the Department itself has
sat supine and failed to defend its
own Recommendation save by the
most perfunctory support.
But II there is a cut demanded in
the ranks of the cl III employees, every
Congressman is besieged with sp-
peals and transmits them In mega
phonic tones to the Naval Committee.
II a navy yard is threatened, COM
mittees of citizens descend upon
Washington and threaten political
vengeance II it's grass-grown docks
and silent machine shops are deprived
OF the customary appropriation.
SENATORS GET PROTEST..
One Senator on the Naval Affairs
Committee said to me that he had
more formal protests como to him
over the reported refusal 90 build a
new $4,000 pier at q naval base in a
certain town than had ever been
made apparent about the reduction of
personnel by 10000. II was a good
many years ago that Senator Tillman.
famous for speaking right out In
meeting, said when tainted with his
support of the obsolete Port Royal
navy yard: This bill ~ loaded down
with expansion in every navy yard.

And that makes no account Of
the awful cost of human life, the
bitterness of desolate homes Great
ed by such a war. Our people
will make all necessary sacrifices
for the honor of their country, and
to protect their fellow citizens.
But when it comes to making war
in order to force other countries
to give us better trading privileges
it is too much like buying gold
with human souls. That side of
international relations can be
handled better in other ways.
Japan processes to be willing to
maintain the open door. If she
violates that pledge, she arouses
the antagonism of the civilized
world. 1t will cost her more than
it comes to. The nations, or any
one of them, could refuse to do
business with her. Our country
took $527,000,0O0 worth of her
goods last year. Japan would
think long time before she risk
ed losing that business by break
ing her pledges in regard to trade.

EDITORIAL
Making War to Get Trade

The armament conference runs
up against the feeling of many
people in this country that there
is danger of war with Japan.
Sometimes these people speak of
the possibility of Japan's invading
this country. But the world war
proved what a tremendous diff
cult thing it is to send an invading
army across the Atlantic, and the
Pacific is nearly twice as broad.
What is in the back of some
peoples minds, is the idea that
some day this country will fight
Japan for protection of our trade
rights in China. They believe that
Japan is going to try to monopo-
lie Asiatic trade, and there will
be no "open door" unless our peo-
pie fight for it.
But would the American people
send an army or navy to Japan
to force her to give US equal trad
ing rights in China? To fight
Japan on her own soil and her
home harbors would be a child's
play. 1t would cost at least as
much as our participation in the
World War which was around $50,
000,000,000. Our exports to China
in 1920 amounted only to S119,-
