ihat of trfWrers holding ronunajids of .the
Mm or leas Importance In foreign navies,
afid la fully luailfled by the magnitude, of
the Internets to be Intrrtati-d to their osre.
If 'this miaR-eatlon- be accepted. 1 would fur
ther recommend hat the number Vf rear
fidmlral be reduced by- two. -so that tha
.iddltlonAl expense (Inconsiderable at most)
would become altoa-ether trlfllmr.
There hw been- much discussion of late
In the pras and elsewhere as to- the ad
vanced a ;e at which officers of our navy
nttaln Cbmmand rank. - I-ihmk-the appre
hensions expressed la some quarters as to
ihelr probaUe. Inefficiency for this reason
In actual warfare are probably without
aufnt-lent foundation. Iioubtlcas a man la
an well fitted for command at 40 as he
ver will become', but,' provided he retain
his health, he wilt probably remain for the
next twenty years of his life about aa well
fitted for this purpose as he then was.
I'ndoubtedly tils physical strength will be
' lessened, but It must be remembered that
naval officers, If 'they avoid Intemperance,
lead a far more healthful life, with much
less tendency to nervous exhaustion, than
men' of the same axe In commercial pur
suits or the learned professions In civil
life. ....
Nevertheless, It must be admitted that
the comparatively advanced aa: at which,
under existing circumstances, an officer
can reasonably expect to. become a captain
Is a hardship to the commissioned per
sonnel and undesirable. In tbe general In
tereat of the service. As a means of afford
ing some measure of Immediate relief I
suggest the re-establlshment of the grade
1 of commodore and the promotion of from
twelve to sixteen of the oldest captains to
this rank. Of course this would lead to the
promotion of the- like . number of com-
' fnandera to be captains, ot lieutenant com
manders to be commanders, and of lieuten
ants to be lieutenant commanders.
Cailarfrt ill the Fersvaael Bill.
Tho deplorable 'disaster to the V. 8. 8.
Pennington, In July last, revived the ani
mated discussion ss to the merits of the
act of 1XK9, generally known as the "Per
sonnel bill," and led to many suggealions
looking to the provision of more, or more
competent, engineers for the natfy. This
subject iH discussed In the report-of the
englneer-ln-chlef, to which 1 respectfully
Invite vour attention. 1 trust hia views
will receive th careful consideration to
which they are entitled trom the congress.
I must add. however, that I d-r not share
these views, although 1 recognise fully the
necessity for some action to deal with
the serious situation which he very accur
ately describes. ,
The provisions of tha personnel bill In so
far as they aflect the engineers are bassd
upon tho theory that a line officer of the
navy must now be-a competent sailor. The
machines of propulsion In our ships are
only the largest among a multtltude by
which the ship Is not merely moved, but
guliled, ventilated, heated and fought,
and an ofTluer in charge-of any division
of a warship must now be an expert In
engineering.. It was therefore contemplated
by this act to make every line officer an
engineer, and also every engineer officer
a line officer, and experience with lis work
ing has not Indicated, iiy Insuperable diffi
culty In attaining these ends, provided the
law is administered with fixity of purpose
and a total disregard of prejudice.
The real difficulty, aa noted by tho en
gineer In chief, arises In connection with
the engineering service on shore. The altu
atlon. In this resoect. is already embarras
sing, and will become a source of weaknesa
and danger to our navy unless It shall be
promptly remedied, tn dealing witn it,
think It must be borne In mind that the
ncctinntlnita nf hullrilitir and reDalrillK mar
ine engines and of operating theru on board
ship are separate . and distinct. I agree
with the englneer-ln-chlef that It- U an
advantage for those enaas-ed ha one or
these occupations to have some knowledge
ot the other, but this does not aeem to ma
a' dedal vo consideration.
To speedily attain the' end desired, we
must, relinquish some tneoreticai aavau
taves. and I therefore submit for your
consideration and that ot tha congress the
advisability of Promptly organising a ser
vice of marine engineers for shore
duty only, corresponding to the civil en
gineers now emn oved at our naval ata
tlons. I feel confident that a corps of this
character could bn readily recruited iroin
graduates from the nest schools oi engiu
eerlng In the country, and that after a
comparatively hrelf apprenticeship at our
several naval yarns, under tne instruction
of officers belonging to the former corps
of engineers, they would be fully qualified
to replace these officers, upon the retire
ment of the latter. In all forma of shore
duty. It wil Ibe noted that by this sua
gestlon the alarming scarcity of wmpetent
officers for such posts would be remedied
within a very short time, whereas the
system suggested in the report of the
englneer-ln-chlef. to which I -hav re
ferred, could bear fruit only after a period
of many 'years.
Tha . Naval Acadesay. .
Avery painful Incident has recently at
tracted public attention to ' the Naval
academy and caused grave concern to the
department. One of the midshipmen there
died, early In the month of November,
as the result of Injuries received In a flet
fight with another midshipman. - The de
partment felt bound to order the trial of
the latter by court-martial, and -In view
tif this fact I refrain from any further
comment on this particular occurrence; but
it may be well to make perfectly clear the
attitude of the department with respect
to similar prearranged encounters between
mldHhlpmen. since this attitude has been
apparently misconstrued and therefore un
justly criticised In certain quarters. .
There may be something to be fairly
said In favor of permitting such conflicts.
Just as there may have been sointhtng to

of course this wall alter the attitude of

To avoid any possible misconstruction, how

of thus adjusting personal controversies

according to tho peculiar clroumatances.

Tha Estimates.
The estimates suhmittsd for tha nnamu
of the department and tha aervlce for
the fiscal year ending June SO, 1907, ex
ceed by aome eleven and a half millions
the amount appropriated for the same pur
pose for the cut-rent fiscal year. While
this additional expense is. of course, to
be regretted In Itself. It can hardly be
dflemed . unreasonable. In view of the
steady growth of the navy. In fact, these
estimates have been reduced- by more than
$1S,000,COO from the aggregate of those sub
mitted ny ui several chiefs of bureaus.
and, I think, any further reduction will
be made at the risk ot diminishing the
efficiency of. the navy.
) Jt will be observed on examining them
that there Is a large reduction, in the
amount asked for tha Increase of the
navy,' the aggregate of the sums re
quested for this purpose being aome 1&,000,
000 less than 'what was given for the
present flsual ' year. On tha other hand,
there -is a vet-r haavv Inertias In ha
estimates of the bureau of Ordnance and

given for those of equipment and steam

laorease of the fta-vy.
Within tho past .two years very tm mis
sive, lessons as ,. to naval problems of the
highest importance hava been afforded bv
the bloody war In eastern AsU. now happily
concluded. .As to some conclusions to be
drawn from this .expertenoe. we may falrlv
say mat everyone is agreaa. Bucn are of
paramount Importance to bHIigeront of
thorough preparation, drill, discipline, tar
get practice and proximity to a well-supplied
base at- the moment of .leclsavo con
flict. .. . . . .
On other points professional opinion, at
least: Is practically unanimous. It Is universally-
recognized by thoso qualified to
speak that, morale and uunncry being
equal, victory 'wilt usually fall to the heav
ier battery; that, torpedo craft and mines
have a real. . although somewhat re
stricted, field of usefulness In naval war
fare, and, that superior speed is of value in
.feet. not. merely pecausn it enables the
coin;nander to fore or avoid battle, but be
cause It. is a- source of strength in actual
conflict.
On ,yet other questions, howve, w can
not aay that any auch unanimity exists.
The recent war has taught us little. If any-
tning. about in uunty or submarine, it
has caused, or at least left, much differeiic
of opinion as to, the value of a-mord cruis
ers, and It haa created a -at ill more serious
divergence of views respect'ng the bast
limit of size for the future battleship. As
a matter of fact, no battleship of as much
as 16.0U) tons displacement was used by
either belligerent, and while, on th one
hand, at least on great faiwer haa deter
mined upon the construction of an H.OuO-
ton battleship, ana otners are reported to
have In contemplation vessels of from id, 000
to 12,000 tons, on the other, ssui author)
tie think these leviathans will prove less
formidable and more vulnerable than bat
tleahlps of IS, 000 tons, auch aa our contem
plated South Carolina and Michigan.
The department haa been caused serious
conoern by the conflicting advlc on th
last-mntloned question, tendered it bv its
authorised expert advisers. Tha general
board recommended aome time sine that
the last-mentioned vessels be Increased in
displacement from l.0u to 18,000 ions. The
board on construction aissents trom this
recommendation. Th general board haa
further recommended the authorisation ot
three - battleships, to cost approximately
W, 250,000 each., and to b of such tonnage
aa will- suffice to secure an armament of
at least ten -l!-lnch guns. The board on
construction dlsaenta from this rcom
mendatlon likewise, and advises Instead
three battleships at an estimated cost of
r7.50u.OOu each, with an anticipated arma
ment' of eight IZ-lncn guus and substan
tially the sain tonnage as Is contemplated
lor tne ttoutn t aronna ana Micnigan.
After very carefully weighing these di
ver-sent views I feel that it la not aa yet
sufficiently clear. that the larger and mor
coMtly battleships would hav such In.
creased efficiency in battl as to Justify th
views of -the general board. Unless, there
fore, you or the congress shall direct other
wise. I shall order the construction of tha

KANSAS CITY. Dec. . Judg John F.
Philips, In the Vnlted States district court
tor th western district of Missouri, today
delivered an opinion holding that his court
wa without Jurisdiction In the cases
brought her by the federal government
charging the Missouri Pacific, the Atchison,
Topeka Santa Fe and Other railways
with giving rebates on shipments of salt
In Kansas and on coal In Colorado and
other products In violation of the Elklna
act. Th motion 'of tha railway to quash
the proceedlnga wa granted.
On March 26. 1902, at th Instigation ot
the attorney general's office at Washington,
Judge Philips granted a temporary order
restraining the Missouri Pacific the Santa
Fe, the Chicago & Alton, the Burlington
and the' Rock Island railroad companies
from giving alleged rebate on various
products. Last summer M. D. Purdy, as
sistant attorney general, brought additional
proceedings, citing the officials ot th rail
ways for contempt, on the allegation that
they had violated . the court'e order In
continuing to give rebates. Th contempt
proceedings were argued In Judge Philip's
court on November 18, when the attorney
for the railways moved that the proceed
ings be quashed, claiming that tha court
was without Jurisdiction. Judge Philips
today in delivering' his opinion, which sus
talned tha motion of tho railway, was very
lengthy and went into detail In covering
th points Involved. Tha grounds of th
decision predicated In the opinion ar sub
stantially aa follows: .
Basis of Decision.
The original bill of complaint on which
tha restraining order was granted March
25, 1902, was filed at the Instance ot tho
attorney general of the United States predi
cated of alleged violations of tha Inter
state -commerece law In granting rebates
on shipments of grain and packing house
product from Kansas City .. to eastern
points. This suit la baaed on the concep
tion of the attorney general that the
United States had a right to resort to the
United States clroult court In equity to
carry out the policy of the Interstate com
merce law and ot enjoin railroads generally
from violating IU But after the temporary
restraining order was made, and after tha
demurrer to the original bill was argued
and submitted, the supreme court nf the
United States in the case of the Missouri
Pacific Railway company against th
United States, isath United States reports.
decided that the United States circuit
court had no Jurisdiction to grant auch
relief; ao when the restraining order was
issued by the United States circuit court
of th western district ot Missouri, tha
court was without Jurisdiction, and, there
fore, th defendant could not be held In
contempt . of the court for violating an
order which It was:. without Jurisdiction to
make. . . "- ':
Elktas' Iaw to Late.
Second, 'while what Is- known the
Elklns' act, pasted tiy congress In Febru
ary, 1901, authorized such a proceeding by
tha United States Hltriet attorney ot tho
Jurisdiction where -the offense was com
mitted, this act being passed nearly a year
after the restraining order of March IS,
1902, had 'no retroactive operation so as to
validate that ordeK And while the original
suit might,' after ,b the . passage bf the
Elklna' act, have- been continued In force
by the amendment thereof . pn the part of
the state's attorney alleging that the rail
road company waa then continuing to grant
rebates of the character, mentioned In th
original bill; yet. no auch action waa taken
by the district attorney and If It had been
the Injunction to be granted would have
been predicated of , acts done by th rail
road company at th time of the amended
proceeding under the Elklna' act, but It
would not hava a reactive effect ao as to
validate the original Injunction order. And
furthermore, the offense charged in the In
formation for contempt I the alleged
granting ot rebates by the defendant rail
road company on the commodity of aalt
shipped from Hutchinson, Kan., a year or
nor after the granting of the temporary
restraining order, and of subject matter of
commerce entirely different from that cov
ered by th restraining order an offenae
committed In the Jurisdiction of th United
State circuit court, of Kansas, and which
should hava been' proceeded . In by th
Uultad But district attorney of that
tat. '
tata Btaoald Act.
Th court commented upon th fact that
th Hutchinson (Kapsas) Salt company was
using a short Una railroad connecting with
Its plant and also connecting with the de
fendant railway company, th Information
charging that tha stockholders ot aaid
short railroad war the same aa the stock
holders ot th Hutchinson (Kansas) Salt
company; and that the defendant railway
had entered Into a Joint traffic arrange
ment with that road in . the shipment of
aalt. making an unreasonable division of
th Joint rat with th short line road.
The court In Its opinion animadverts upon
bringing such a question before th United
States court for determination In a collateral
contempt proceeding, rather than proceed
ing where th short line railroad waa la
corporated and where all ot it business
i conducted. It Is for th stat authori
ties. It says, to determine whether tha
state corporation la violating th law ot
Its creation in charging excessive . rates;
that congress has never undertaken to de
termine which is the reasonable or tha
equitable division Of Joint rates between
two railroad companies.
Santa Fe Victim.
Th lnterestute commerce act only re
quires that the Joint rate which Is a matter
of private contract between tha companlea.
when made, shall be filed with the Inter
state Commerce commission at Washington
and that It shall not be departed from; that,
If tha per cent of the rate charged Is un
duly apportioned to the local state roods.
the alt company used It for th purpose
of "holding up" the Atchison. Topeka
Bunta Fe Railway company by refusing to
dn business with It unless It would submit
to the exorbitant action; Hint the
greatest offender In such transactions is
tho shipper, and Inatead of going directly
after tho shipper under the law th govern
ment seeks alone, by a contempt proceed
ing, to punish the rallrond company which
haa been held up hy the shipper; and the
government will never strike at the root
of th rat evil utHll It goes after the
shipper a well aa the railroads: that it Is
not fair play and "a square deal" that the
railroad should "be held" by the shipper
and then punished by tho government for
being "held up" while the shipper gets
the "rake-off." The court suggested In
th opinion that the railroads could best
assist In relieving themselves from such an
attitude by opening, rather than closing
th mouth of those under their control.
Clear Illpley and Morton.
The second Information against the Santa
Fe railway company grows out of rebates
alleged to have been granted by the rail
road to th Colorado Fuel and Iron com
pany on shipments of coal from Colorado
and New Mexico to Atisona, El Paso, Tex.,
and th republic of Mexico. The court al
luded to the fact that thia matter hnd at
tracted public attention because of the sen
sational association ot th name of Presi
dent Ripley and the then vice president.
Paul Morton, with tho transaction. But tho
record In the case and the evidence taken
by th Interstate Commerce commission
failed to furnish any foundation for im
puting to those gentlemen any personal re
sponsibility for the alleged violation of tho
Interstate commerce law. Such matters,
however, tha court said. Is extraneous, and
for the reason assigned In the foregoing
discussions the court held that It wa with
out power to proceed to sentence for eon
tempt. The concluding part of the court's
opinion Is as follows:
However reprehenslve the condm-t cf ti e
defendant railroad company (if It bn as al
leged In these transactions) mav have
been, or -however much disposed this court
may be to compel obedience to Its lawful
mandate. It la persuaded that It Is without
authority In this proceeding to draw to It
the Involved, rightfully belonging to the
Jurisdiction of the United States circuit
courts for the districts of Kansas and Colo
rado. "Thus salth the law" is a perpetunl
Injunction upon the Judg when called
upon to exercise Judicial power which he
may not disregard without standing In con
tempt of his own conscience.
