ATTACKS DANIELS
Also Asasils Assistant Secretary
Roosevelt. Letter to Chairman aile
of Senate ComminkitteO Published in
Army and Navy Rtegister.
Washington, June 26.-Attacks on
.Seorotary Daniels and Assistant See
rotary Roosevelt are made by Rear
Admiral 'Benton C. Decker, cdmmander
of the Seventh naval district, Florida,
in letters to Chairman Halo, of the
senate fiaval investigating committee,
which were published today in the
Army and Navy Register, a service
Journal.
Tie ofllcer charges that the naval
secretary in his- recent testimony be
fore the committee "intentionally and
deliberately" misrepresented certain
acts of Ilar Admiral Sims, Fullam and
Fiske, and that ile had determined to
"b.reak" these officers because "they
would not follow him to the limit of
demoralizing and degrading the navy."
Admiral Decker asserts that in this
effort, NIr. Daniels had used "all the
power of his high office, the power of
ridicule, sarcasm and 'half-truths, the
strength of publicity secured through
his newspaper connections-all the
weapons which Prussianism used to
stroy its enemies and autocracy has
used through the ages to maintain its
power."
The admiral declared that to him, as
to other high officers of the navy, "it
has come that if we would how down
and do the wishes of Mr. Daniels, w
would receive the rewards therefor
intimations that come by circuitous
routes and underhanded, sneaking
ways, so that no one can take hold of
them." , .
in any reorganization of the navy,
the admiral continued, the best inter
ests of the country denmanded that
there would be placed in the depart
ament an officer "big enough and broad
enough and of sufficient ability td
maintain tihe standards of the navy
against the encroachments of the ci
vilian secretaries, who seek to make
of the navy a political organization."
Admiral Decker assailed Assistant
S'eretary Roosevelt for his reference
in a recent communication to a mem
ber of congress to "a holier-than
thou" group 6f officers at the Navy
War 'College at Newport. He declared
that this was a group of officers who
had stood out against the introduction
of politics into the navy and to whom
the assistant secretary had scornfully
referred to as "gold flaced gentlemen"
when Ie "sought to ingratiate himaif
with the -workingmen." Ho added that
Mir. Roosevelt did not scorn these of
ficers when he met them in "rich clubs
in New York and Washington."
iBoth Secretary Daniels and Assist
ant Secretary Roosevelt are at San
Francisco to attend tihe Democratic na
tional convention. Senator Halo is in
New York, and at his office, it was said
that there was no record of Admiral
.Decker's letters, which were dated
June 17. Attaches of the office recalled
that Senator Halo received a letter
from Admiral D~ecker ear'ly in the sen
ate investigation of the award of naval
decorations.
At this investlgation it was dlevelop
ed that Admiral (Decker had been rec
movced as naval attache at Aladrid fol
lowing reprei'sentationis to the state de
pam'tment bmy Ambassador Willard that
the admiral in his work theire wvas en

EDUCATION OF GIRLS
WILL STOP POLYGAMY
Retiring Governor of Department of
3Mindlanno and4 Sulni Tells of Phiy.,
pine Campaign.
Manila, P. 1., M1ay 26.-Practice of
polygamy in the Philippine ialands is
bueing reduced through educatilon of
girls of the leading families of the
outlying provinces, according to Frank
W. Carpenter, retiring governor of time
department of 'Mindanao and Sului.
Mir. Carpentei' is here to turn oveir
administration of his oflle to (lie see
retary of the inter'ior' who wvill act
through mime bureau of non-Christian
tribes in accordance with a new tei'
ritorial law. This law leaves in effect
a lmeaty under' which the sultan of
.Sulu renmouncedl all pretensions to tem
poral sovereignty but gainedi recogni
tion as ecclesiastical head of the Mlo
hammedan chur'c'h in the Sulu archmi
p~eligo. 'rho treaty guarantees to the
sultan and his people "the same re
ligious freedom had hby all adhier'ents
of all other' religious creeds, the prac
tice of wvhicih is not in violation of the
basic principles of theO laws of the
United States."
"It is imiportant to note," said (1ar-:
penter' in ond of his messages written
as gover'nor, "that this includes a lim
itation as to religious Jpractie .which
necessar'ily includes the abandonment
of polygamy. There can be0 no ques
tion that it wili disappear as the rel
ative numb~er of persons of the two
sexes reach an apprIoximate naturmai
equality.
"An effort to impose upon time ,peo
1)1e of the sultan at this time the in
validation of polygamouts marriages
heretofore contranted. the np-ohibiinn
at this time of polygakmy or the discon
tinuance of divorce, must unavoidably
result in tlle active resistance of a
Pi)ople imbued with fanatic deternina
tion to die rather than submit to a pri
vation of their -religious liberty in mat
ters they believe to be fundamental
and sanctioned by divine authority."
Mr. Carpenter said that girls of
Prominent families in Mindanao and
Suiu are being sent to Manila public
schools where they associate with
Christian girls and graoually become
imbued with the monogramous ideas
held by the Christians. The girls are
advised to adhere strictly to their own
Mohammedan religion as their influ
ence, It is said, would .be destroyed if
they abandoned it. When they return
to their own people, their influence
tends to eliminate plural marriages,
according to Carpenter, who predicted
that the practied will be vfrt'ually
wiped out in the course of a fow years.
