Flnzer will make a report to the secretary of the navy in which he will place the blame for the unsatisfactory results of the recent cruise of the Oregon and Washington naval militia to the "In different attitude" taken by the execu tive officer of the cruiser Milwaukee and the fact that the regular crew on the ship was made up largely of men not qualified by experience to give In structions. General Finzer said he does not know what results his report will bring, but he said he wants the navy department to know that the militia does not wish to take another cruise unless a better equipped vessel is pro- viaea ana omcers sent along "who are in sympathy with the purpose to give tne militiamen needed training. Speaking of Lieutenant Commnrtr Ellis, who was the executive officer on the ship, Colonel White says: Mis attitude while aboard ahin was indifferent, if not hostile, and was highly discouraging and greatly damp ened the ardor of the naval militia of ficers, and was the proximate cause of so little being accomplished on the cruise." The report says there was a lack n intelligent and sympathetic instruction on the part of both the officers and tne men or the ship.

Drivers of Auto Should Give Way Bays District Judge Jones la Case Against Speeders.

The statement was made during hearings of three speeders who were each fined $15. They, were Philip & Kamm, Emil Wahl and G. B. Baxr, charged by Motorcycle Officer White with speeding on the Sandy road. A Pennsylvania decision recently quoted In The Journal sets forth the rights of the pedestrian in no uncer tain manner," he went on "and I thor oughly approve of it. Horns do not seem to have been made to warn peo ple of danger so much as to male pedestrians Jump and I have seen many drivers show glee la the Jumps they produce. I would like to see the horns removed from the machines and turned over to the pedestrians." Judge Jones suspended sentence in the case against E. Thorn, 21 years old, who speeded on his motorcycle on the Sandy road last night.
