Boston Liner Helpless at Sea.
BOSUON. Jan. 5. For 14 hours, the Ley

She broke down on December 26, when
about SCO miles out from London. In a
heavy gale at 5 o'clock A. M., the air
pump to the main engine broke and the
ship was helpless. Until 7 o'clock in the

in the trough of the sea, repeatedly ship
ping vast quantities of water. At that

No Jor.c Bids Arc Made.
Yesterday was the day set for opening
bids -by Captain J. M. Baker, disbursing
Quartermaster, 'for 475 cavalry and 25
artillery horses, but no bids or bidders
were in evidence. Horse dealers explain
the lack of interest on their part by the
stringency of the Government's specu
lations. The horses would have to be
subject to inspection at a time and place
selected by the officials and the dealers
leclare there would be risk of loss of
time and money in waiting on their con
venience. French Bark to Sail In Ballast.

Court-Martial Begins Another
Hazing .Case.
HE TORTURED ROBERTS
Florida Midshipman Made Georgian
Bring Ills Breakfast Causey,
Leading Athlete, Will Be
Tried for Hazing. .
ANNAPOLIS, Jan. S. The trial of
Midshipman Petersen B. Marzonl, of
Pensacola, Fla., a member of the first
class, on the charge of hazing- Mid
shipman Chester S. Roberts, of Jollet,
IIU a member of the fourth class, be
gan this morning-, after the record of
yesterday's proceedings had been
read. .
The charge is supported by sis spec
ifications, each alleging- a separate in
stance of hazing, in which Roberts -was
the victim. Roberts was also the al
leged sufferer In the Incidents upon
which are based all four of the speci
fications In Foster's testimony, the
trial of which was completed yester
day. Marzonl is being defended by
Georgo IL Mann, an attorney of New
York City, who was a member of the
class of 1S9S.
The first specification alleges the
hazing of Chester S. RobcrtR by com
pelling him to perform "No. 16."
The second and third specifications
allege that Marzonl hazed fourth class
man Benjamin W. Tye, of Atlantn. Ga
by compelling him to bring the ac
cused breakfast on different occasions.
The last three charges are In connec
tion with the alleged hazing of Mid
shipman Albert C- Bryant, of Canton
Bond., Ala., a fourth classman. They
state that Marzonl compelled him to
bring him his breakfast, stand on his
head about 20 minutes and perform
"No. 16" about SO times.
Marzonl was brought before the court
and introduced George H. Mann, of New
York, as his counsel, who asked that the
trial of the case be delayed until the open
ing of the court tomorrow, and the request
whs granted. Mr. Mann Is a former mem
ber of the class of 1S8S, of the Naval
Academy.
Still another midshipman Involved
In the hazing Is Louie Dean Causey,
of the first clays. The charge of hazing
fourth-class man Bennett with the vari
ous specifications was served on Causey
this morning, and his case probably will
be taken up at the conclusion of Marzonl's
case. Young Causey, who Is a son of W.
J. Causey, of Berwick. Miss.. Is one ot
the prominent athletes of the academy.
He holds the rank of first petty officer,
tenth company, in the first 'battalion of
brigade of midshipmen at the academy.
No charge against any other mid
shipman has been filed as yet, but 'the
academy authorities state that the
court will be kept supplied with
charges at the termination of each
case for an Indefinite period.

PAGET BOOSTS DRY PARTY
Says Only Prohl Candidates Arc Pit
for Church Votes.
PORTLAND, Jan. 5. (To the Editor.)
I am anxious to help to solve a problem
that I dhrtrettlng some of my brethren In
the Methodist Church and that I liable to
Involve many 'more of. them and Increase in
difficulty as the campaign progreist.
Since The Oregonlan claims to be the
"leading religious publication on the Coast.''
It Is natural for me to seek this medium for
tho purpose.
On page 40(1 of the Discipline the attitude
of this church, as regards the liquor ques
tion. Is stated as follows: "Wo record our
deliberate Judgment that no political party
has a right to expect, nop ought to receive,
the support of Christian men so long as It
stands committed to the license policy or
refuses to put Itself on record, in an attitude
of open hostility to the saloon."
Inasmuch as my political affiliation and
action accords consistently with this posi
tion, I am not one of those who are con
cerned from a Republican party standpoint
on account of the active rumor (which ap
pears to be based upon fact) to the effect
that Walter l Too xe. candidate for a Con
gressional nomination in the first District.
Is renting his property for saloon purposes.
Neither do I recognize the logic of the
argument (based upon this rumor) which Is
being advanced by these brethren In behalf
of W. C. Hawley. a rival candidate for the
same office, who, they claim, is free from
this particular criticism. Like all others,
his platform; as published, falls to disclose
that he has any views pn tne question In
volved, either favorable or unfavorable, and
It Is reasonable to Inquire:
Do not both men represent tho same po
litical organization?
Do not both men stand for precisely the
same political principles?
Do net both men cast ballots identical In
every respect?
It consistency Is the test. Candidate
Too re a position is the least open to criti
cism, his position Is unequivocal, and If I
were in the unfortunate position of having
to choose between the two men thl feature
of the caso would certainly appeal to me.
My Methodist brethren, both ministers and
laymen, who are still In tho Republican
party, will save themselves much vexation
of spirit and troubling ot conscience by ally
ing themselves with the 'Prohibition party,
which Is the only political organization In
full accord with their church etsclpllne. and.
at the same time they will be abandoning an
untenable position which subjects them and
their church to well-deserved criticism and
ridicule, and- they will have no more trou
ble with candidates for office who are con
nected with the liquor business. Yours re
spectfully. B. LEE PAGET.

COLONY -VVIUj PLAY HOST.
Seattle Chinamen Plan to Entertain
Imperial Commission.
SEATTLE. TVash., Jan. 5. (Special.)
Seattle Chinese will hold a mass meeting
on Chinese New Year's, January 23, to
plan a reception to the members of tho
imperial commission, who will come to
this country on the steamship Dakota In
February. The commissioners coming
here form the delegation that will visit
European countries to study commercial
and political problems.
The Seattle Chinese will welcome the
party at the docks, bring them Into the
city In carriages, and tender a banquet at
a leading hotel. Whatever additional en
tertainment will be given will be outlined
at the mass meeting late this month.
There are only about 1000 Chinese in Se
attle, and Invitations will Tjq ent out to
Portland and other Northwestern cities
asking Chinese residents to Join in the
celebration.
An Interesting phase of tho reception
plan Is that very few of the commission
ers are from Canton Province, which fur
nished practically all the Chinese in the
Northwest. Most of tho Chinese party
speak mandarin Chinese, which Is a
tongue almost foreign to the local colony.

Alabama's Aged Senators.
Kansas City Journal.
A singular state of things has coma
about in Alabama. Senator Morgan's term
expires In 1907. He will be then (It liv
ing) S3 years old. Senator Pettus term
expires In 1000. He will then bo (if living)
nearly SS years old. Alabama Is on tho
quadrennial plan; after next year's Leg
islature there won't be another until
1910. Next year's Legislature, therefore,
can elect two United Status Senators. As
far as known General Morgan and Gen
eral Pettus desire and expect re-election.
Suppose they are re-elected. At the end
of their new terms (if they live that
long) General Morgan will be S3 and Gen
eral Pettus 9-1.
