If yo i take one you will want to keep In touch with home. The best way to do this is to have the Journal mailed to you. Leave your order before starting. We will change the address as often as you desire. Judging from the amount of smoke that süss from the chimney of the Sistine lhapel, the College of Cardinals Is having rather warm time of it. 1 It seems fairly evident that the relations etween the new Reformatory management nd one of the big manufacturing initiations within the Reformatory walls are a lit strained. The new superintendent of the Indiana Leformatory has blocked out reforms noufh to keep him busy for some time, nd he tackles them as if he felt equal o their accomplishment. The public will agree with Mr. Whittaker bat the superintendent of the Reformatory ad no right to authorize the steward to ske hist living from the storeroom and over It up by requisitions made on "offlsrs kitchen." . Mr. Whittaker declares that no employe t the Indiana Reformatory shall be reloved for merely political reasons while a la superintendent of the institution. Ade re nee to this promise will silence a ceraln class pi critics. The new superintendent of the ReiormaDry recommends the abolition of several aeless offices now costing in salaries $4.472 , year. Mos' people will wonder what use jhe Reform.-lory had for a purchasing: Igent, a choirmaster and a florist. Accidents do not occur without cause, and ; behooves the managers of traction and iterurbea lines to make thorough investlatlon of those that have occurred reently. They are quite as much interested i the prevention of accidents as the pubc is. King Kdwr.rd made gdod use of his farepell to Ireland by issuing an address which Iras in excellent spirit and form.

THE 1DIANA REFORMATORY. There has been considerable discussion regarding the circumstances attending the change of management In the Indiana Reformatory, but there can be no diff r n M of opinion as to the showing made by the report of the new superintendent. It shows l yond question a culpable degree of looseness In the former management and the exIgeesses of practices that call for reform. Mr. Whittaker has been in charge of the Institution only a short time, but his aptitude for business and previous experience in prison affairs have enabled him to discover evidences of loose management and abuses that a less experW-m p. rson might have overlooked. His citations from the records show that for several years past the financial affairs of the Institution have been managed In an unbusinesslike way. He is right in saying that "the official records of all boards where the expenditure of public funds is passed upon should at each meeting of the board show In, dollars and cents the amount ordered paid to each individual and the total expenditures for the month." The records of the Reformatory do not make any such showing nor furnish a clear statement of the linancial condition of the institution at any given time. The transactions of the Indiana Manufacturing Company with the Reformatory seem to have been of a questionable character, and the present relations of former Superintendent Hert with the company and the prison are conflicting. The taking of supplies from the storeroom of the institution by the steward for his personal use was entirely unjustifiable, and the superintendent had no right to authorize it. It belongs to a class of petty peculations which institution officials are apt to think come under the head of perquisites, but which are wholly Indefensible. The supply department of the institution seems to have been pervaded by this spirit of petty peculation and personal advantage to an extent that reflects no credit upon an officer whose duty it was to look closely after the lute eats of the State. What Mr. Whittaker says concerning the Internal management and condition of the prison will cause surprise: This institution was made a reformatory In April, 1897. Since that time it has been a reformatory only in name and not in fact. In the first place, some of the same conditions as to handling the prisoners exist now that existed twenty-five years ago. and the very thing that is a nightmare to reformatory officials who are honest 4n their work, that Is, the lock-step, and use of the ball and chain for punishment. It Is true that these antiquated methods are not used In all calses of punishment, but they are used on some inmates every day in the year and the baneful effect Is felt upon officer and inmate alike. No attention is now or has been given in the last six years to the separating of the young boys from sixteen to twenty from the more experienced men in crime. Of all the statements in the report, and there are many others not here adverted to reflecting on the former management of the institution, there is none that will cause more surprise than this. It is so damaging that it is to be hoped it is not made hastily or without the means at hand of substantiating it. If true it discloses a condition that calls for immediate reform. The report as a whole shows that the Institution needed thorough overhauling. BEER AS A SOURCE OP REVEXIE. The Journal published a day or two ago some statistics furnished by the Internal Revenue Bureau at Washington regarding the production of whisky and beer In the United States during the fiscal year ended last June 30. They showed that during the year there were produced U4.420.471 gaUona of whisky and 46,660,730 barrels of beer, an Increase over the preceding year of 9,615,620 gallons of whisky and 2,171,898 barrels of beer. These figures will b regarded with very different feelings by revenue officers and temperance people. The former will see in them mainly the largest single item of revenue, while the latter will see evidence of the increasing vice of intemperance. The two items named produced during the year a revenue of nearly 1300,000,000, a very large contribution, it must be admitted, to the annual revenues of the government. It does not certainly follow, however, that the Increased production of whisky and beer argues an increase of intemperance. Experts in statistics say it does not. They maintain that the increasing demand for whisky is mainly due to its use in arts and manufactures, which is very extensive and constantly Increasing, and that the substitution of beer as a beverage instead of whisky is really a gain for temperance. The advocates of total abstinence will scout this idea, but a majority of people are not total abstainers, and as between whisky and beer It cannot be denied that the latter is a much lighter drink and therefore its substitution for whisky as a national beverage Is in some sense a gain for temperance. But, Irrespective of theories, the brewing business in this country has grown to large proportions. The census of 1900 showed 143 malting establishments, with 239.288,102 capital, 1,990 wage earners, 214.816,741 for cost of materials and products valued at $19.373,600. These figures reiste to the manufacture of malt. Of breweries for the manufacture of beer there were 1.309 establishments with 2415.2S4.468 capital, employing 39,532 wte earners, using 151,674,928 worth of materials and turning out products valued at V237.269.713. The manufacture of beer in this country began about 1840. and in 1S50 there were 431 breweries as against 1,509 now. "Its use," says the census report, "extended with the general increase of population, the influx of German immigrants and the cultivation of the tastes of the people for milder beverages." The statistics show that the miscellaneous expenses of the business throughout the country increased from $48,276,290 in 1S90 to $109,329,231 In 1900. The principal Item of this Increase was the Internal revenue tax, which was 92ft cents per barrel In 1890 and $1.85 per barrel in 1900. This Increase wai duo to the Spanish SSM tax. The amount of revenue tax paid j by beer in 1900 exceeded that of 1S90 by fcasjt $47,000,Ou0. The report shows that in 1900 there were forty-two breweries in Indiana, of which ten were owned by incorporations. The amount of capital invested in the business in this State, including land, buildings, machinery, etc.. was $6,117.997, and the value of products $5.777.047. The trade in beer Is largely local, transportation of the finished product Involving greater expense than that of the materials used. Nearly every State manufactures beer for local consumption, even California, the greatest wine-growing State, having ninety-nine breweries with an invest-

ed capital of fo,l&3,266 and a production In 1900 of 15.086,462. The figures for the coun try at large leave no doubt that the brewlif business has come to stay, and whatever may be thought of It from k moral Ioint of view the Internal Revenue Bureau is justified In regarding it as a permauent source of large revenue. THE BEST WEAPONS. We occasionally smile at the fondness of the Englishman for a prize fight or anything In the way of fisticuffs, but the national trait has Its good joints after all, and there arise frequent occasions when we might wish the American would resort to this comparatively harmless method of defense instead of the ready appeal to deadly weapons or the still more dangerous aud cowardly demand for mob violence. An instance in point occurred ou Sunday night at the Union Station, when an overofheious negro with a watchman's badge came pushing through the crowd and knocked down a woman with her infant iu her arms. Demands that he be mobbed were nUasd in the crowd, and in reply the offender flourished a revolver. The timely arrival of the police put an end to a situation that was dangerous, to say the least. It was a proper occasion for the use of fists. Had some man in the crowd quickly come to the defense of the woman by knocking the negro down the chances are that the difficulty would have ended then and there and no further damage done. The ending of the incident as it did was, of course, better, but the police are not always on hand so promptly. An old-fashioned fist fight has become very rare In America. When men brawl, a9 men of a certain grade of intelligence will, it is invariably the revolver, the knife or some other weapon that comes into play, and the result Is a tragedy which means death or a period in the hospital for the one and a term in prison for the other. There is something cowardly about the use of weapons in an individual encounter that is repugnant to the Anglo-Saxon sense of manliness, but the cowardliness of the man that call3 on the crowd to assist him in violence Is even more contemptible. When the situation is such that officers of the law cannot be reached in time, and peace is impossible, the real man will, as a last resort, defend himself or others with the weapous nature has provided him, and will look to bystanders for nothing more than fair play. In Oklahoma they have a way,when disappointed in the expectation that a railroad will come their way, of loading the town up on wheels and moving it over tu the railroad. Just now four such boom towns are on their way to other locations. If they would vait a year or two doubtless they could have trolley lines for the asking. THE HUMORISTS.

The Interview with District Chairman Walter Brown, of Elkhart, in yesterday 's Journal seems to have added fuel to the fire that has been smoldering in the Thirteenth, and the situation continues to grow in Interest. Mr. Brown took occasior to refer somewhat sarcastically to W. C. B. Harrison, the traveling deputy for Attorney General Miller, Indicating that MrHarrison's appointment by Mr. Miller had not proved a source of unalloyed satisfaction to the Republicans of Elkhart county. As a result Mr. Harrison was on the warpath last evening, and when he was seen at the English he had several things to say in answer to Mr. Brown, first, however, taking & shot at the defenseless newspaper fraternity. "You newspaper fellows must use the Thirteenth congressional district for padding." he said. "Wrw-n you are short on political news the Thirteenth can always be rettei upon to furnish copy, particularly when Colonel Brown can be reached. "The colonel, in my opinion, would make a much better soldier than he shows up as a politician. He is forever engaged in killing off his enemies, which is coenmendable in a soldier, and this policy will in time reduce the ranks until he is" the onlv 'n- left in the field. The trouble with Colonel Brown Is thut he fails to see any virtue in unything that does not have 'Brown blown in the bottle. He started out to 'Brownlse the Thirteenth district When he was elected chairman, and failing in this he immediately grasped his trusty elm club and began looking for heads to crack. After making an unsuccessful swipe at t harley Miller he began flailing Senator Dausman. Now Dausman is one of those optimistic political creatures who never knows when he is done for, and as a result he is Mill in politics and will be returned to the Senate from Elkhart county next year. "Colonel Brown, being an active member of Governor Durbin's staff," continued Mr.

Harrison, "was In Indianapolis yesterday to review the troops at the fair grounds. The soldiers seem to have aroused In him a sanguinary spirit, and he starts out now to annihilate every unfortunate in his home county who holds an official position. I neem to be one victim of his belligerency and in my heipless tat e 1 am held up to ridicule because I inherited more Initials in front of my father's name than the proprieties, according to the colonel, seem to justify. This is a grievous fsult and grievously do I suffer for it. And. indeed, this is not all. I am charged wth having written something for the newspaiers In years ngone. In an unguarded moment, as Bill Nye once said, one can commit an set which it will take years of sorrow and stlfdenlal to overcome. I seem to have done this dark, damnable deed once when I criticised the political tactics of Colonel Brown. l now lays on the bludgeon with an unsparing hand, and all I can do it to writhe, squirm and groan. "I wish you would sny for me, If you say anything, that I do not care what Colonel Bnrwe thinks or says of me se long as it does not interfere with my salary. Attorney General Miller has a way of doing things in Elkhart county which is most pleasing to the Republicans, and when the Brown Issue Is reached, if It should ever attain the importance of au Issue, it will no doubt be met and settled in u manner satisfactory to the Republican party.'' s a All of which contributes materially to the gayety of politics and gives promise that there will be "something doing" even during dog days. However, this Is not quite all, for according

to a report yesterday there is t be a new development in the Thirteenth that may further complicate the situation there and even have an important bearing on State politics. It is stated, upon what may be considered reliuble authority, that Attorney General Miller is laying his plans to be a candidate for the United States Senate to succeed Senator Fairbanks six years hence. In furtherance of this plan It Is understood that Mr. Miller has allied himself with the Beverfdge forces in an effort to gain and retain control of the party organization, State and district. Mr. Miller first expects t' be renominated and re-elected attorn y general, and at the close of his second term be will have a little over a year in which to make his final campaign for the Senate. It has been suggested frequently that Mr. Miller might make the race for Governor in 1908. and several of his friends have boomed him iu a mild way as a gubernatorial possibility, but according to tin report now gaining circulation the attorney general's eyes are not on the chief executive 'a chair, but upon the senatorial toga now worn by Mr. Fairbanks. That he is really looking forward to this may explain in a measure the apparent lining up of the Miller and Brown forces in Elkhart county. Mr. Brown's friends claim that the attorney gl aeral is taking a bend in the district chairmanship fight and that he is one of the strongest influences behind the candidacy of Frank W, Boss, of Marshall county, who is regarded as a Beveridgc- man. XXX S. E. Nicholson, formerly of Kokomo. who came Into prominence as the author of the temperance law on the Indiana statutes that bears his name, was here yesterday on his way to his former home. He la now superintendent of the Maryland Anti-saUon League and general secretary of the National Anti-saloon League, with headquarters In Washington. He predicts that the Nicholson law will never be repealed unless It be to give way to a stronger temperance law. XXX Former State Senator Joseph H. Shea, of Seymour, who is counted upon as one of the contenders for the Democratic congressional nomination in the Fourth district next year, was here yesterday, but he said he has not been giving the question of becoming a candidate any consideration. "Dogdays are at hand," said Mr. Shea, "and during that period a man should not be expected to think of political affairs. If he can give his business matters a little thought he will be fJoing well." KMX Senator Fairbanks yesterday received an invitation to be present and deliver r.n address at the annual reunion of the Eightythird Indiana Volunteers, Aug. 13 and 14, at Batesvllle, Ind., but he will be unable to accept, owing to previous engagements for that time. xxx Former Lieutenant Governor William S. Haggard, of Lafayette, was here yesterday and took lunch with Secretary of State Storms at the Columbia Club. XXX A party of well-known politicians returned yesterday from two weeks' business and pleasure trip through northern Idaho. In the party were Senator Walter L. Ball and Alonzo Petty, of Muncie; Charles A. Meeker and Capt. J. F. Marks, of Lafayette, and Deputy Oil Inspector T. H. Johnson, of Indianapolis. The trip was made primarily to inspect some mining property owned by a company in which these men are Interested and they report that they have "struck pay dirt" to an extent that bids fair to put them in the class of plutocrats within a few years. Incidentally they viewed some magnificent scenery, did a little hunting, had some excellent trout fishing and spent practically all their time in the invigorating mountain air, with decidedly healthful results. "The mining property in which we are Interested." said Mr. Meeker last evening at the Columbia Club, "lies in a valley, 6.000 feet above the sea level. It is a placer mine, although the company owns some quartz mines that will be operated in the near future. From the reports of the experts we are led to believe that the placer mine will average $1 to the cubic yard and I hesitate to say how many million cubic yards WC have in sight." Mr. Meeker exhibits a small phial containing the gold which was washed from three yards of the dirt. It is worth Jll.M). Dirt can be worked at a profit If it averages 7 cents to the yard. XXX Jerry Mathews, secretary to Senator Fairbanks, who is spending his vacation In the East, writes his associates in the senator's office to expect him home the latter part of this week. He has been in Washington for several days. xxx Perry J. Freeman, former postmaster of Richmond, who has recently left politics for the more lucrative field of promoting and buildiug electric interurban lines, was at the Columbia Club yesterday. Mr. Freeman is at present interested in the traction line under construction from Evansville to Princeton, and expects to move his family to Evansville within a few weeks. He has purchased a country home four miles from the city along his new line, and has what he considers an ideal place, with an abundance of garden truck, fruit, chickens, el cetera ad infinitum. The new interurbau line will b? in operation by September, he says. It is twenty-eight miles long, and may eventually become a link in au electric line from Indianapolis to Evansville. "I have forgotten all about politics," he said, in response to a question on that line. "I see by the papers that Charles R. Unthank is a candidate for district chairman in the Sixth, but I have been in Richmond so little that I know nothing about the situation. 1 see prominent Republicans of Evansville frequently, but we meet for business and do not discuss politics." XXX Mayor Frank Knotts, of Hammond, who has just been through a fight with the saloon interests in his city, was here yesterday to meet some Indianapolis men who contemplate establishing a factory at Hammond. Mayor Knotts had a lively tussle with the saloon people, but he came out tin top of the heap, with his colors Hying. The City Council some months as) passed an ordinance increasing the saloon license from $100 to $200. Then the saloon men got busy, to the end that more recently the ; Council passed another ordinance repealing the lirst. Mayor KaotttS promptly vetoted the repealing ordinance, and it was pnpo (i to pass It over his veto. The night j this was to be done the se loe1 men attended I the Council meeting, ami before the question I came un tne mayor made a little speed in ! which be informed the saloon men that if the ordinauce was passed over his veto he would si'v that every single provision of the Nicholson law was rigidly enforced, that the saloous would be required to close every night promptly at 11 o'clock, keen closed on Sundays and holidays, remove all tables and chairs from their places of business, etc. This was a bluff which the saloon men were not prepared to call, or rather It was a proposition they did not care to chance, and as a consequence the repealing ordinance was not passed over the tna vol's veto. "I am not a prohibition crank." said Mr. Knott last evening, "but I do believe in high license. I think the saloon license i should he fixed ut $500, or even $1,000, by

legislative enactment. That would do more to minimixe the evil thau all the prohibitory laws that could be passed." Mayor Knotts is understood to he shaping his plans to make the race for the Republican congressional jiomination in the Tenth district one of Wiese day-, and he does not aany the soft Impeachment. However, he says he will not be in the running against Representative Crtimpacker next year. He Is not yet ready to enter the field, but it is generally understood that he will become a candidate three years hence. ATTACKED BY A THIEF.

Followed nnnntnn Men from the Gemraer Plant for Four Squares, but Offered No Ylolence. SETTLEMENT HOPED FOR L. P. MTORMICK EXPECTS AN ICABLE AGREEMENT. AM Meeting of the Central Trades Council to Me Held To-Mght, When the Strike Will Be Discussed. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. MARION, Ind., Aug. 3. The labor situation in Marion is still muddled. A crowd of two hundred unionists, headed by a band, this evening followed the nonunion workmen who have taken places in the Gemmer engine works from the factory to the street-car line four blocks away, but there was no violence. Two of the nonunion machinists who worked last week did not report this morning and the locked out men claim this as a point in their favor. The men who quit say they could not stand the humiliation of being called "scabs" and marched home each evening by a jeering crowd. It was reported to-day that sixteen nonunion machinists of Chicago will be imported to work in the Gemmer factory and that they will arrive to-morrov. . The lockout men have pickets stationed about the factory who stop men applying for positions and talk with them, explaining the existing conditions. In about every case the men turn back and refuse to go to work. It is expected that several hundred unionists will be in attendance at the meeting of the Central Trades Council Tuesday night, when it is expected that some plan of settlement will be devised. Edgar A. Perkins, president of the Indianu State Federation of Iabor, is expected to be present at this session. i.. P. MeCormack, state labor commissioner, arrived in the city this evening from Indianapolis and will endeavor to bring about a settlement of the labor difficulties in this city. Mr. MeCormack is not yet much acquainted with the situation, but he hopes to bring about an amicable agreement. He will hold a conference to-morrow with the stockholders of the Gemmer Engine Company and review the situation with them. It is said that some of the stockholders do not understand the difficulty as it exists, and it is believed that after a conference of both sides an understanding may be reached. Mr. MeCormack will be in attendance at the meeting of the Central Trades Council to-morrow evening and address the men. An invitation has been extended to every union in the city to be present at this session. A referendum vote has ben taken during the past ten days to put a ban on the goods of the Gemmer engine works and the National sweeper factory. The rain this evening had a tendency to keep down the crowd which took part in the usual demonstration about the factory. FIRES WILL XOT START. Window Glass Factory at Elwood Advertised for Sale. ärecial to the Indianapolis Journal. ELWOOD. Ind., Aug. 3. A delegation of Elwood iron mold glass blowers went to Marion to-day to go to work in that department at the Macbeth-Evaus factory, which resumes operations to-morrow. The company's local plant will hardly be in condition to start before the last of the month, although it is probable that some of the mold shops will start earlier. The McCloy chimney works here and the Central bottle factory will resume promptly on the first of September. The window giass factory here, which Is owned by the American Window Glass Company, but has been idle for more than a year, is not to be started at all. it is said, the factory buildings being advertised for sale, but held at what local people consider an exorbitant price. Tin Plate Men Want an Outing. FpOSjal to the Indianapolis Journal. ELWOOD, Ind.. Aug. 3. The workmen in the tin plate mills are making an effort to secure a two weeks' vacation during August, on account of the excesslnve hot weather. This is the first summer for a number of years that the factory here has run steadily without a shut down, and most of the employes want a short outing.

ROME 1$ INPATIENT WKARY (MP THE DELAY IX ELECTING POPE LEO'S SICCESSOH. Puff of Smoke That Ascended from the Sistine Chapel Last Night Greeted vcith Derisive Shouts. BIG CROWD IN THE SQUARE CUSTOMARY SIGNAL WATCHED BY FIFTEEN THOUSAND PERSONS. Two More Ballots Taken, but No Inklingof the Stnndlna of Candidates Permitted to Leak Out. ROME. Aug. 3. After three full days of deliberation, during which six ballots have been taken, the members of the conclave still remain shut up In the Vatican without having selected a successor to Leo XIII. The futility of both the ballots taken today was evidenced by the smoke which arose from the Sistine Chapel. This mute signal this evening was watched by another large crowd, which partly filled the square of San Pietro and numbered about 15,000 persons. Qreat disappointment was manifested, and when the little puff of smoke appeared there were loud. cries, not only of disappointment, but even of derision. Rome is becoming extremely impatient over the delay in the selection of the new Pope, concerning which there appears to be no definite explanation, owing to the rigid secrecy with which the proceedings within the conclave are guarded. To-day practically the only news which came from the Sistine Chapel was that of the extremely grave illness of Cardinal Herrero. It is presumed, however, that the other aged cardinals are also suffering from their prolonged incarceration and the intense heat. Among ambassadors and ecclesiastics there exists a general opinion that if only for the sake of relieving the aged cardinals, much may be sacrificed with the conclave to arrive at a speedy conclusion. In the hope that over night some agreement might have been arranged the foreign ministers, many other personages and 2,000 or 3,000 of the general public went to St. Peter s this morning to await the developments. They were doomed to another disappointment, for at 11:16 a. m., like the broken-out pennant of a ship, the smoke announcing that the fifth ballot had been fruitless rose from the chimney of the Sistine Chapel and was borne away by a light breeze. It was a homeward-bound pennant for the crowd, which immediately left the piazza. Many expressed regret at the failure of the ballot. A correspondent visited the Inside of the Vatican this morning and found that all around the precincts of the conclave the guard had been doubled, and wherever there is the slightest possibility of communication with the conclave the Swiss Guards, gendarmes and Palatine Guards watched together. The antagonism existing between these bodies Is the best guarantee that nothing underhanded will be allowed. Ht sides the captains of the conclave, in their cocked hats and uniforms embroidered with gold lace, assisted with the valets of Prince Chlgi, the marshal of the conclave, in gorgeous liveries, are constantly on the alert. The only thing known of the inside is that the cardinals rose early and individually celebrated mass in the Pauline Chapel. They took breakfast at o'clock, going shortly after to the Sistine Chapel, where they remained untii about 11:30 a. m. The piazza of St. Peter's this morning bore the usual appearance of these past days. Italian soldiers occupied two colonnades and stood about in groups vainly trying o keep in the shade, the sun being scorching this morning. A new note to the scene was given by a caravan of peasants from the surrounding province composed of men, women and children in costume, who have evidently come to Rome for the Pope's blessing. The women wore Lright red skirts, white bodices with colored corsets outside, spotless white handkerchiefs on their heads and sandals laced with leather thongs to the knee. The men were lose gorgeous in velvet knee breeches with gold buttons. The group camped in the shadow of the obelisk, eating watermelon, and making so brilliant a picture that au on the piazza, especially the foreigners, feasted their eyes on the characteristic scene. The sixth ballot was taken this afternoon and proved fruitless. The smoke announcing that fact was seen rising from the Sistine Chapel at 6:25 p. m.. According to an unverified report, Cardinal Herrero Espinosa grew worse to-day to such a point that the last sacraments were administered to him. The news, said to have leaked out by those ouside hearing through the wicket a procession and the recital of prayers, as the communion was being taken to the sick cardinal. It Is stated that on the request of Cardinal Herrero himself, the vicar general of his archdiocese of Valencia, Spain, who accompanied thecardtnai to Rome, was allowed to enter the conclave and visit him. The Cardinal Is aftected with heart disease. It is reported that artificial respiration is being resorted to. Cardinal Herrero is being treated by Dr. Lappnni and nursed in turn by his fellow-cardinals, besides his conclavist. King Alfonso, of Spain, has telegraphed to his ambassador, inquiring as to the condition of the cardinal. CABINET IS ENTERTAINED. Admiral Cotton Host to Portuguese Oftlcluls on Board the Brooklyn.
