The Secretary of the Navy indorses Senator Frye's bill which favors the employment of American vessels for public purposes. Under the present law of 1846, trans- portation of naval supplies must be furnished by contract by the lowest bidder, and as a consequence this business has practically fallen entirely into the hands of foreign ship owners. During the past fiscal year 3930 tons of stores were shipped to foreign ports for use of United States navalk vessels, of which 2179 tons were carried by English bottoms, 1301 tons by Germans, 373 tons in American vessels and 77 tons in French bottoms. Of 4, tons of coal shipped to Cavite and Yokohama, tons were carried by English vessels and 5000 tons | vessels under the German flag. There are seventeen by all of which are suitable for transportation purposes and to which preference should be given even if the cost is slightly increased. Three officers of the United States navy—Lieutenant Commander W. S. Sims, Surgeon H. G. Beyer and Civil Peary—have returned from England, were sent to inspect the system of shore bar- the Royal navy. They found the disciplinary much less severe in the British than in the and Rear Admiral H. C. Taylor. chief of avigation, realizes that our methods are conducive to dissatisfaction among and desertion by enlisted mey. In the British navy, if a man returns to his station in a quiet manner, but half seas over, he is taken care of by an orderly and put in his bunk. If he turns out in e morning able to perform his duty he receives no punishment whatever. If he returns to his station after hours and is still orderly his only punish- ment is that of being obliged to sleep on a bench at the gatehouse. British officers make due allowance for the frailty of intoxication, being convinced that it cannot be stopped. In the American navy the regulations of 1900 limits the punishment for drunkenness to confine- ment for six months, but as a rule it consists of confine- ment for a short time, reduction in class and de of liberty. In the Royal navy overstaying of liberty is o longer punished by restriction of liberty, and forfeit- re of pay is now the penalty. In our navy the offender | may be punished by confinement for six months and dis- honorable discharge. Rear Admiral Taylor is studving the problem and will no doubt recommend the abolition of restricted liberty, which drives more men out of the navy than all other causes objectionable to the enlisted | racks in methods American navy the Bureau of D L3 C | { At | with local | the plaudits and the money everywhere | | appeals to the ear, so the combination | group of acrobats programmed as the | !

Horn Found Dead in Bed | in Lodging-House Where He | Engaged a Room. Henry Horn went to a lodging- | house at ¢ Howard street on Satur- day night about 11 o'clock and engaged a room from the landiord, William | Eberle. He asked Eberle if there was ! gas in the room and Eberle replied in | the affirmative. Eberle, however, | handed him a lamp and he retired to | his _room. | . About 11 o'clock yesterday morning ! Mrs. Schweler, one of the roomers, de- | | tected the odor of gas coming from | Horn's room and notified Eberle, who | opened the door and found Horn dead | {in bed with the gas turned fully on.| | The kevhole of the door had been | stuffed with paper. Horn had evident- | {1y committed suicide. The body was | | removed to the Morgue. ! As the man was unknown to Eberle | the police were notified, and Detective | O'Dea_was detailed on the case. The only thing in the man's pockets was a key marked Wilson House. O'Dea went | to the Wilson House, at 775 Mission street, and discovered that Horn had occupied the room to which the key be- | longed for five or six weeks, leaving on December 25. The only thing known about Horn there was that he was in the habit of hanging around a social club on Market street. He was about 40 years of age. ———— Special Rates.

FORD SPEAKS } UPON “THE DAY'S DEMAND” | Large Gathering of Men Attends the | Sunday Afterncon Lecture at the Y. M. C. A, The Rev. Frank S. Ford gave the| third of his series of lectures before a large gathering of men in the Audi- terium of the Young Men's Christian Association yesterday afternoon, iis | subject being “The Day's Demand.” | He said that the plans of God needed | men and that the saving of the world | would depend Upon men. Personality is, he considered, a great factor in follow- ing out the plans laid down. He quoted Balzac, who had said that to eat man must stoop down to the animals, but to think he must lift up to God. Men had to consider why they were here and they had to ask themselves whether they are good to God and man. God, he said needed men as a living part of his plans to bring them to completion and he prayed that God would help them to know their place in the day’'s demand and to ably fill it. After the lecture the great body of men adjourned to the lecture hall, where a social-religious half hour was passed with singing. The Sunday even- ing tea followed. —_—— The total income of all American farmers last year was about $5,500,000,- 000, 5 oom 217 Crosslcy Building Corner Mission and New Montgomery Streets gmmmwm CITIZENS ALLIANCE § § § § § § OF SAN FRANCISCO DRI R QOO0 IO QUOIROHRE QO ORI CRQR OO
