DRAFTED 1 BILL
ETJE1
Moody Does" Not Favor Staff
Like That of Army.
HEARING GRANTED HIM
DY HOUSE COMMITTEE ON NAVAL
AFFAIRS BOARD SHOULD
BE IN THE HOLLOW OF
HIS HAND.
By Associated Press.
Washington, April U. Secretary
Moody does not favor a general staff
in the navy modeled after the general
staff of the arm?. This fact he coin
munlented to the house committee on
naval affairs today in the hearing
granted him on a bit ot Ids own draft
ing "to increase the efficiency of the
navy."
The bill authorises the secretary to
constitute a general itoard in his dis
cretion, by detailing seven officers on
the active list of the navy ami marine
mips, not below rank of cap'Jiin for
such duties as the secretary may from
lime to time direct.
Tlie secretary explained thai this
hill did not really enlarge his present
authority in matter of an advisory
board. He now has eight to create
ich board of any number of officers
and continue (hum on the board for
tiny length of lime.
Such board, the secretary explains
was absolutely "in the hollow of Hie
hand of the secretary of the navy."
lie could create at will and discon
tinue it at will. Its functions would
he purely advisory. No board, be
said, should he created which could
usurp the power of the secretary. The
board provided for in his bureau, he
said, would have executive power nor
jurisdiction over bureaus of the navy.
The committee took no action on
the bill. Which as yet has not been in
troduced in congress.

POLICY GOES
AT ST. PAUL
The "Washerwoman's Gig" Wins and
Slipc are Being S-rirnbled
For.
Special to The Pitllei in
St. Paul, April II. The magic
figures "iinti" put John Deegan,
a Minnesota street negro, on "easy"
street yesterday, and now St. Paul's
colored population has gone policy
mad.
How paAny policy tickets the agent:;
of the syndicate put in circulation
after John's lucky strike, is not exact
ly known, but every negro in the town
la. t nigh! had a piece of pnsteboerd
wilh mystic figures on it in hi:; pock
et. Policy promises to be the bane of
St. Paul, and already the Minister's
association and reformers have be
gun their attacks on the game, in the
business districts the agents of the
syndicate controlling the game have
lie u doing a land office business.
Mayor Smith said yesterday that
if policy was being played in St. Paul
tn any exteni he was not aware of it.
"It used to be played here ra'her
heavy," be said, "bill the DOild got
after the people behind ti and I
thought they were all driven out of
town."
The game can be played lor us
small sum of Ti cents, and for Ibis
reason it funis many d votees whose
spending money Is limited. Depart
ment store girls, it is said, play the
game regularly and those who peddle
the tickets have even Invaded the
high schools.
No secrecy Is maintained regarding
the location of Hie headquarters
where the drawings are dally held,
and Ih agents of the syndicate are
conspicuous in tlie boldness with which
they peddle Hie policy tickets.
