POLICY OF SECRECY FAVORED. Senators Feign Sickness to Avoid Voting on Statehood Bill-Beveridge Caught by Foraker.

Eagle Bureau, Washington, June be a 608 Street. Fourteenth, sharp fight before the House agrees to the Senate amendment the naval approbriation bill affecting the provision for e. battleship, to rival the famous Dreadnought of the British navy. The members of the Naval Committee have directed the House conferees to hold out to the last ditch against the amendment. The fight in the House wil be based on the claim that the Senate provision unwise and injurious, because if it is enacted into law it will require the publication of the secrets of the navy with regard to the important features of the proposed big battleship.

The Senate amendment stipulates that before the Secretary of the Navy awards the contract for the 20.000-ton craft he shall send to Congress "full details, covering the type of such battleship and the specifications for the same, including its displacement, draught and dimensions, and the kind and extent pi armor and armament therefor." This will bring about the very thing which our government and every other naval power is trying to avoid--publicity In connection with the vital details of our explained a member of the House Naval Committee to-day, in discussing the objections to the Senate amendment. "This provision would require the submission to Congress of the lull details of the features of this ship, including the thickness and distribution bf armor, size and arrangement of the guns and other facts that we endeavor to keep secret. "Nobody knows much about the Dreadnought, despite the fact that all the powers have been trying to learn the seBrets of its design. These things are carefully guarded, but here the Senate would have the Navy Department report upon them in full, which would be equivalent to turning them over to Germany, France, England Or to any other nation that might be interested. In the judgment of the members of the House Committee on Naval Affairs, this would be a great mistake, and we propose to compat it with all our power.

The committee has instructed Messrs. Foss, Loudenslager and Meyer, who will be the conterees on the part of the House, to hold but against the acceptance of this amendment, and I am sure the House will sustain the committee in its action." The Senate amendment does not withBraw the authorization of a 20.000-ton battleship, and does not cancel the appropriation for this purpose. It merely stipulates that before a contract is made Congress shall be informed of what it Is proposed to build. The effect of this will be, first of all, to secure at least one year's delay in building the vessel. The Senate's fear seemed to be that the department was rushing things in urging the construction of vessels SO much arger than anything we now have afloat, br under contemplation, and that it would perhaps be better to wait a while until the subject is more fully investigated.

Sentiment in the House is strongly in lavor of building a battleship as large A's, if not larger than, any warship owned foreign powers, and there is no doubt by that a sharp struggle will ensue before the Senate amendment carries the day. Senators Play Hide and Seek on Statehood. A curious situation is presented in the statehood bill. Senators are resorting to extraordinary measures, such as faking sickness and waiting for the appointment of new Senators, in their efforts to further the chances of the pending bill. Briefly, the situation is this: The Senate passed the bill, with the provision for only one new state.

The amended his by providing that the people of Arizona and New Mexico should vote at the question of the general elections on whether they would be admitted one state. Senator Foraker is leading the fight against this proposal and, aS compromise, is willing to have the question of statehood settled at a special election balled for this purpose only. The friends the two territories, who believe it will of De an injustice to tie them together in loint statehood, are for the Foraker comthe promise, fearing that proposition night be carried at a general election under the enthusiasm created by the canlidates for office. Senator Beveridge, who charge ot the statehood bill in Is counselling delay in taking a realizing that the issue is doubtful. He figures that the new Senator from Kansas, Coburn.

Shooting at the Clouds.

The grape growers of France have finally solved the problem of breaking up threatened hailstorms by the use of cannon. For the past score of years scientists have been trying to find a practical method of dissipating rain and hail clouds, and Consul John C. Covert, at Lyons, sends the following account of the manner in which the vineyards there are protected. The most popular cannon in use in the wine growing district requires about four and one-half ounces of powder for charge. The cannon are placed about 1,500 feet apart.

Each one will cover sixty acreg of land. A park of 150 cannon is necessary to protect a vineyard against a local or a general storm. The work of the first two rows of, cannon soon dislocates a storm, and the succeeding cannon prevent the reforming of the clouds. Since the cannon have been in use in France the conviction of their absolute efficacy has steadily grown among the wine growers who have used them. New societies for their use are being constantly organized and the most intelligent among the farmers of France have not the slightest doubt of their power to protect them against the dreaded enemy to their crops.

In some parts of France an effort has been made to introduce the use of bombs, which are thrown high into the air and are intended to explode among the clouds. The only obstacle to the success of this plan is the difficulty to measure the exact distance of the clouds from the earth and to have the bombs explode in the right place. In the use of the cannon the wreath of smoke starts upward from the mouth of the gun and moves with great force until it reaches the cloud, which it dislocates or breaks into shreds, and prevents the formation of hail. CRIST. FOR NEW BRANCH POST OFFICE Central Taxpayers Hear Kings Highway Is to Have Building in Near Future.

The Central Taxpayers at its mecting last night, at headquarters, Kings Highway and Coney Island avenue, received the report from a committee, which was appointed at the last meeting and which on Monday last called on Postmaster Roberts for the purpose of securing better postal facilities for the section. The Postmaster looked upon the plan with favor, as the organization was instructed to look out for a suitable site for the erection of a branch post office at Kings el Highway, and association received the assurance of the Postmaster soon the as it had located a site which would be favorable to the requirements, building operations would begin. When this branch office is erected, the necessity of having the entire Kings Highway district dependent upon the Sheepshead Bay Post Office will have been effectually done away with. Aside from the 1 postal question, nothing but routine business was transacted. The plans for general improvements in the section, as better water service, fire protection and lights, were reviewed, and committees appointed to call upon the proper authorities for the quickest enactment of the resolutions of organization, which have been made for the bettering of existing conditions.

QUEENS BEEF INSPECTION. Wholesale Establishments in Jamaica, L. I. City and Flushing Visited Often. Chief Clerk George R.

Crowley of the of Health of the Borough of Department Queens, says that a thorough weekly inspection of the wholesale meat houses of Long Island City, Flushing and Jamaica and of retail markets all over the borough, not only, as to the cleanliness of the premises, but as to quality of the meat sold, is made. Daily inspections are being made of all the places for the sale of meat at Rockaway Beach and Far Rockaway. Up to a year ago there was no inspection made of the meat or of the places where meat was sold and many were found in unsanitary condition, but now they are all cleaned up almost every day. No notice is given as to when the inspector is to call. One of the prominent dealers of Jamaica when asked to-day how the recent agitation had affected the sale of canned said: 'I have not dared to offer a can of meat to any customer of mine for several days past, as some of them would leave my shop in a huff."

M. 0. MEETING AVOIDED MENTION OF BRYAN'S NAME Everything Was Hearst at Gathering in Columbla Hall Where Brisbane Spoke. BOOM FOR COLONEL BACON. His Fitness for a Judgeship Proclaimed-Mr.

Brisbane Illustrates Mr. Hearst's Character. Though the leaders of the meeting strenuously denied it, it seemed that there was a studied avoldance of the name of William J. Bryan at the meeting last night of the William Hearst Club of South Brooklyn, Hall, Randolph, Fifth avenue and Union street. Several speakers were close to a mention of the name of the Nebraskan, but each time they got around it by such phrases as "the standard bearer in the fight of 1896," or similar expressions.

Ferhaps this silence respecting Bryan was intended not to jar upon the speech of Mrs. Bela Tokaji, who presented a bouquet to Arthur Brisbane, the star speaker of the evening. Mrs. Tokaji expressed the appreciation of the women of the organization of the work Mr. Hearst had done for the "cause of woman" and said she hoped Mr.

Hearst would be "elected governor this fall and later President." This hope called out loud applause, The meeting was presided over by E. T. O'Loughlin, who, in his opening address referred to the cutting up of the Eleventh Assembly District as result of a conspiracy between Messrs. Woodruff and McCarren, so as to save the Republican leader the humiliation of being beaten by the Hearst men in his own district. This cutting up the speaker cited as an evidence of the union of the two old parties to dupe and deceive the public.

The chairman then introduced Colonel Alexander S. Bacon, who began by saying that so disgusted were the people with corruption made manifest in both thirties that the platform of the next national convention of the winning party might contain only one plank, "'Thou shalt not The colonel said a man was a fool who never changed his politics. Once he was a protectionist; now he was glad to announce he was a free trader. He hadn't changed but the conditions had changed. The necessity of building up the infant industries of the country had passed away and he saw giant industries forming trusts to fleece people.

The most dangerous man in the republic, he thought, is the one who says he is proud that he voted a straight party ticket all his life and would continue to do so. America must change its conditions or the republic will fall. Colonel Bacon was interrupted by the entrance of Mr. Brisbane, who was heartily cheered. He was pleasantly surprised soon after taking his seat by the presentation of a resolution to the meeting, proclaiming the colonel's fitness for one of the Supreme Court justiceships and calling for his election.

The meeting, which numbered about 300 persons, the hall being filled, enthusiastically indorsed the resolution. So certain were some of the voters in the room that this action was as good as an election that they actually addressed Colonel Bacon as "judge" after the meeting was over, to the horror of several military friends of the colonel, who took them aside and explained that no title could please the former lieutenant colonel of the Twenty-third Regiment 30 much as that of "colonel." Arthur Brisbane looked decidedly bored when the applause continued for more than a minute when he rose to speak. The first thing he said made him "solid" with the haif hundred women present. He advocated woman suffrage, saying that he almost thought sometimes that was a more important question than the others before the country, great as they appeared to be. While disclaiming any ability as a public speaker and seeming a little nervous at first, Mr.

Brisbane soon became so interested in his subject that he talked smoothly, but earnestly and without gestures or any pretence of oratory. He had been introduced to give a lecture to members on how to work for the education of the voters along the lines of municipal ownership. He said that the best motto to keep in sight was that of Mr. Hearst, expressed in a speech in the last campaign, which was this: "We are opposed to the confiscation of private property by the public and we are opposed to the confiscation of public propby individuals." Keeping this idea erty always before the voters, he said, there would be no going against the inborn desire on the part of every man to acquire property. The next thing to do was to wake up the indifferent men and make them take an interest in public affairs.

Mr. Brisbane gave some incidents to illustrate the character of Mr. Hearst. He said that when Mr. Choate was made ambassador to England he prepared some editorials, showing what he thought to be his unfitness for such a post in view of his being identified with the trusts.

Mr. Hearst indorsed these articles before they were printed, although, as he told Brisbane, "Mr. Choate is the lawyer for one of my most intimate friends." Again, during the strike of laundry girls in Troy, a delegation of girls came to the office of his paper. It was decided send a special laundry strike edition to to Troy in the hope of getting the girls' side before the people of that city. The manager protested that this business would mean the loss of $45,000 a year Hearst from the advertising of the to collar firms, but the speaker said that the only question with Mr.

Hearst then was not what he would lose by such an edition, but whether the girls were right. Mr. Brisbane spoke of his intimate acwith Mr. Hearst and dwelt quaintance the simplicity of the latter's life, upon mentioning particularly that he did not own a yacht, but found his greatest pleasure in working for the people. the conclusion of Mr.

Brisbane's adAt dress, resolutions were adopted denouncthe trusts and setting forth that ing "something drastic must be done by the people, if the nation is to be preserved well as in government. Two in name as stand out conspicuously in the efnames forts to check these trusts. One, the President of the United States, Theodore Roosevelt, the other, Congressman WillR. Hearst. Two persons who have iam their time.

means and energy of given mind and body to check the trials and tribulations now upon us." It was further resolved that "we invoke on the men in power by legislation, to permit an amendment to the Constitution by a vote of the people, SO that the people, the majority of them, can govern the nation as a nation, and not permit further corporations or individuals to shirk the liabilities incumbent on them." Colonel Cody took the floor and in a speech which fairly bristled with the word and with denunciations of District Attorney Jerome, urged upon the club to see to it that the commissioners of deeds were provided for at once. There are two weeks left for getting these under the law, he said, and unless this time is well used he felt sure the bosses of the old parties would beat the M. O. people. An address by Colored Fred K.

Porter, who was recently stricken with blindness, ended the speaking. Among those present were: John Lordi, Angelo Mignone, John T. Moran. Charles T. Hartzheim, Thornton J.

A reception followed between 5:30 and 7. The drawing rooms of the house were in white and green, palms and oak leaves representing the greenery. The floral adorning was extremely attractive. A large wedding party, prominent in which were four small pages, added much to the occasion.

Alfred H. Brush, pastor of the church, officiated. The affair was an interesting event in old New Utrecht society. The bride was attired in a costume of white duchesse satin, princess style, with a girdle effect, and with a plentiful supply of old point lace. A tulle veil, trimmed with orange blossoms, completed the costume.

Her boub quet was made up of lilies of the valley. The colors, pink and white, predominated at the wedding. The maid of honor was Miss Ethel Isabelle Carman, cousin of bridegroom.

He Impresses the Importance of Integrity Upon Young Lawyers. Award of Prizes. The fourth annual commencement exercises of the Brooklyn Law School of the St. Lawrence University were held last night in the Majestic Theater, and eightythree young men and two young women were graduated, receiving degrees either of Master or Bachelor of Laws. The auditorium and galleries of the theater were thronged with the friends of the graduates, so many in fact, wishing to be present that there was not enough seating capacity for everybody.

The floral gifts were many and beautiful. After the graduates had marched on to the stage the invocation was given by the Rev. Dr. J. F.

Carson. The programme consisted of an address to the graduating class, which was followed by the presentation of degrees and the award of prizes, Dr. Almon Gunnison, president of the university, presented the degrees, and the award of prizes was announced by Dean William P. Richardson, of the Law School, "Very much of the success of our law school is due to the cordial co-operation and help of our judges," said President Gunnison, in his introduction of the principal speaker, "and I consider it a great honor to have with us to-night Supreme Court Justice Samuel T. Maddox, who will make the address in the graduating exercises." Justice Maddox, in his opening remarks, said that the greatest asset of any lawyer was his or her spotless integrity, and character.

There was a note of warning as well as of congratulation in what Justice Maddox said to the young lawyersto -be. Be not over ready to encourage litigation, said the speaker, in declaring that, in the near future, the most suecessful and the most sought-after lawyer would be the one, who, by good advice, keeps his clients out of courts, if possible. Hearty applause greeted Justice Maddox's reference to corporate righty in which he insisted that there was the same kind of law for corporations as for the individuals. "From recent disclosures of corporate conduct, actions methods of doing business," said Justice Maddox, in telling the graduates of the amount of work that a lawyer needs in right preparation of cases, "it would seem that the influence of aggregated corporate wealth and of corporate combination is not, just at the present time, the most conducive to the moral, social, financial and physical welfare of all our people; the conduct of some certainly appears to be in conflict with moral, and, as well, with legal rights. "Corporations are the creatures of legislative will, whether by special act or existing pursuant to general laws.

They have no greater powers than are fairly to be implied from the language of the statute under which they are incorporated, and while they are to be protected in their property rights, they are not to be suffered to disregard the rights of the individual, whoever he may be. "The power and propriety of governmental supervision," continued Justice Maddox, "and regulation, whether it be national or state, of corporate affairs is indeed a momentous question." The foregoing, and much more along the same line of thought, showing that it was no easy profession the graduates were entering, was eloquently and fully uttered by the speaker. They showed the grave questions with which lawyers have to deal, he said. "Approach all questions calmly, dispassionately, with a firm purpose and intention of doing no wrong to any he said, in conclusion, "ever remembering that as is better than yesterday, so will the morrow be better than to-day. Be patient under all circumstances; take victory and advantage fairly won modestly and with due regard to the feelings of your adversary, and meet defeat with stoicism.

Bear well in mind the fact that that which is most worthy calls for greatest effort, and while mindful that Shakspeare says: 'To climb steep hills requires slow pace at yet set your standard at the highest point and manfully struggle to attain it." Justice Maddox, in his address, earnestly exhorted the graduates to be mindful of the greatness of the profession they were about to enter. "You have chosen a most honorable profession," he said, "and be ever mindful that the great and true asset of every lawyer is his professional integrity and the spotlessness of his reputation. Remember at all times your civic and professional duties and obligations, not forgetting your political duties, be your party affiliations what they may. Be ever careful of All your dealings and transactions, to the end that your good fame may never be sullied and that your chosen profession shall rot suffer from any adverse criticism by reason of any unwitting or thoughtless act on your part. Let your ideals be high and lofty, and no pinacle of fame in public life, however high and honorable, is beyond your reach." In presenting the certificates of their degrees, Dr.

Gunnison congratulated the members of the graduating class upon their entrance into an honorable sion. Not only honorable, he said, but arduous. for the whole field of human thought was their domain. Only as they mastered a moiety of the domain that is before them was their success assured. The candidates for degrees were as follows: Degree of master of laws--Charles Wesley Carpenter, David James Denis William Hyland, George August Marshall, Joseph Peter Reilly, John W.

Creighton Asks Questions About the City Record. Secretary Creighton, of the Brooklyn League, has written the following letter to Controller Metz: Dear Sir--As a member of the Board of City Record you are doubtless able to answer the following question. In reading the City Record I notice frequent repetitions from day to day. In some instances 16 to 20 pages are repeated. I cite for example the issues of May 1 and May 8.

1906. In these two issues I find 16 pages of matter appearing word for word. I understand that the contractors for the printing of the City Record are paid so much per page, and I understand that they would receive full payment for any matter appearing twice, just as if it had been set up for the first time. I should be obliged to know the reason for the frequent repetitions. I do not refer to corporation notices, but reports of hearings, letters, etc.

WOMEN OF SEA CLIFF HAVE STRUCK A SNAG Opposition Has Deveioped to Plan to Build a Library. MR. CARNEGIE PROMISES $6,000 Some People Resent Appeal to Iron Master-Village May Not Do Its Part. (Special to the Eagle.) Sea Cliff, L. June 8-The women wha are members of the Good of the Village Association here are on the anxious seat just at present with regard to their pet project to build a public library.

Up te within a few days ago the plans seemed to be going along swimmingly. The women raised $2,000, chiefly among the summer residents, and then, by the advice of one of these, sent. an appeal to Andrew Carnegie. He offered to give $6,000 toward the library, provided that the amount of $600 yearly was pledged for its nance. The women hoped to raise $10.000 in all, but thought that with the $2,000 already promised, and Mr.

Carnegie's $6,000, they would go ahead and put up their building without loss of time. They appealed to John T. Pirie, of Brooklyn, a well-known summer resident, for a site, and he agreed to donate the land. When this decision was announced the women thought their library as good as built. The question raising the yearly for $600 for the maintenance of the library did not strike them as being an obstacle, The village puts in its budget yearly the amount of $375 for library purposes.

There' has not been a year since the women have managed the library that over $100 has not been raised by them, and this amount the state duplicates. So there was practically the entire amount in sight. Because the Good of the Village Association is not incorporated, that body was unable to offer the pledge to Mr. Carnegie itself. As the best way out of the difficulty, the women seek to have the village officials pledge the entire amount, and the women in turn will pledge the officials to raise at least $225 of the needed $600.

leaving the village responsible for only the amount at present raised in the budget. It was not anticipated that there would be any difficulty in getting the officials to take this step, and in order that it might be done in a fair and above-board way, the association sent its president, Mrs. Coles A. Carpenter, to a meeting of the village board to make the request. The matter was brought before the board, but very much to the surprise of the women no definite action was taken upon it.

It now develops that there are some people in the village who are inclined to cavil at the women for approaching Mr. Carnegie on the subject. It has been said publicly that if the women. wanted a library building, they should appeal to the residents of the place instead of to outsiders. It is a fact, however, that while $2,000 has been raised, $1,000 of this came.

from George W. Collord, who is not a resident; $250 from A. C. Eihlers, who is but a summer resident, and $100 from Clarence H. Mackay, who has no interest in the village.

Of the balance, by far the larger part came from summer people, comparatively few of the regular residents having shown any willingness to contribute, although the library is run chiefly for their benefit. While it is not anticipated that the village board will refuse the request of the women, the fact that criticisms have been made and that in a public meeting the idea that the trustees may pledge the village for the entire $600 has been deplored, has caused their hope of the probable speedy building of a library to decrease, and has, created some anxiety among those who consider the library building their pet project. SISTERS BRIDES AT ONE ALTAR Miss Ray Adelaide de Puy's Wedding Followed by That of Miss Florence Gillette de Puy. The Greenwood Baptist Church, Seventh avenue and Sixth street, was scene last evening of two weddings, the brides being Miss Ray Adelaide and Miss, Florence Gillette de Puy, daughters of Mr. and Mrs.
