A. GREEN, MARSHA WILMINGTON LACK OF RELIGION Secretary Daniels Declares Neg lect Is Reproach To The Public. THERE IS NEED OF CHAPLAINS Will Ask That Congress Substan tially Increase Their Number. Newport News, Va., Nov. 10. Neg lect of religion by the United States in its Navy is a reproach to the public, Secretary Daniels declared here today in an address before the United Broth erhood of Men's Bible Classes. The Secretary announced that he would ask Congress immediately to provide chaplains and welfare secretaries pro portionate to the Navy's personnel. "Twenty-four chaplains," he said "are all the Government now pro vides to look after the religious wel fare of the Navy's 67,000 men, the number of chaplains not having been increased since 1842, when the per sonnel of the Navy numbered only 12,000 men. The Secretary added that more than 75 important ships in the Navy have no religious leader at tached, while the Marine Corps with an enlistment of 10,226 men, has not a single chaplain to look after the spiritual development of its personnel. "I do not expect Congress to author ize the appointment of enough chap lains to assign one to every ship," Mr. Daniels said, "but I do believe the number will be substantially increased, And I shall urge that besides tho ad ditional chaplains, that Congress ap propriate a sufficient sum to enable the Secretary to engage enough capably young religious leaders so that upon every ship there will be either a chaplain or a welfare secre tary." It is proposed to have the welfare secretaries on the ships perform duties similar to those of secretaries of the Young Men's Christian Association They would lead in religious, educa tional and athletic work among the enlisted men.

WILL NOT BE A CANDIDATE Does Not Want To Fill The Governorship Chair Next Year. New York, Nov. 12. If. Mr. Hen- nessy or any other citizen of the State has any proof of wrong-doing it is his duty to produce it before the proper authorities in order that the guilty persons may be punished. As Gov ernor, I will do all in my power t' compel the enforcement of the law. "But I do not propose to prosecute any man unless there is actual proof of his- guilt or for political purposes. Nor do I propose that any man shall be protected simply because of political influence. I shall not aid any move to stigmatize any man unless there is proof of his wrongdoing. Conversation and gossip will not suffice." This was the statement by Gov. Glynn at the Hotel Vanderbilt last night when asked about his plans for prosecuting the frauds alleged by John A. Hennessy and Assemblyman-Elect William Sulzer, to have been perpre trated in the State service. Gov. Glynn said that he had an appointment with Mr. Hennessy at Albany on Mon day next, at which Mr. Hennessy will submit proof to support his charges. Gov. Glynn announced that he would cause an inquiry to be made in all de partments where irregularities are shown to exist. But he made it very plain that he does not intend to be in fluenced by the unsupported charges and claims of warring politicians. He repeated the statement made by him in an interview in the World on Oct. 19 that he will not be influenced by any personal ambition looking for a renomination. "It is my purpose," he supplemented "to conduct the office of Governor with out regard for any effect my acts may have upon my own policit.il future or those of any other man. I hope to suc ceed withhe help of the whole people, and not because of the favor of any faction of my own or any other party. "I shall not be influenced by the in dividual opinions of persons, though I shall always have the welfare of the whole people at heart. It is my purpose to do the best I can in administering the affairs of the State for the good of the State. "I am not u candidate for a nomina tion for Governor or any other office. My sole ambition is to succeed in giving a satisfactory administration for the next fourteen months. There are no strings on me either within or from without. I propose to be a free agent. I shall try to find out the biggest ai)d most eapable men to correct any evils that exist for the good of the service and not with a view of exploiting their own political fortunes by making sen sational charges that they cannot sus tain with proof.
