The FJccd of Mure BattlcoHips.

In his annual report Secretary Bonaparte of the navy department

points out that national safety depends upon the construe'- of more battleships. The United States occupies a unique position as far as safety from invasion is concerned. It is teparated by three thousand miles of

ocean on the east and by six thousand miles of ocean on the west from any possible enemy. Given one of the strongest navies in the world we are

absolutely safe from Invasion, and are not under the necessity of main

Ulning a tremendous army as the European countries are compelled to do. European countries have to keep not only large navies but also large armies all tho time, not so much fcr the purpose of waging war as tc

guarantee peace. The United Stat'.s not having any powerful neighbors

bordering it, is not undor the necessity of providing for a large army dur

ing times of peace. And la time of war no foreign nation would bo able

to land a force in our country in the face of a large navy. The greatest

need of this country, as Secretary Bonaparte says, is more battleships

If it were as easy to build a battleship as it is to recruit a regiment, we

wouldn't have to bother so much about the question of strengthening our

navy. Unifortunately, however, it akes from two to three years to build a first class battleship and if the time for building such a battleship is put off until war has been declared the war would have been fought and

settled long before the ship was completed. Just at the present time we her murmurings of trouble with Japan

Japan's naval strength is now the greatest it has ever been. She cap

tured battleships and armoured erasers from Russia during the late wai

which have been completely overhauled and put in first class condition. Besides this she ha3 added several new battleships built In England. On

ly recently the largest battleship ever built was launched la Japan for her

nary. Japan 13 in tip top condition for a war with us, and it looks decld edly as though she Is looking for one too. The San Francisco Bchool ques

tion Is only a trivial thing but the Japanese are magnifying it to propor

tions that will almost justify them In going to war with us.

If Japan can force a war on us during the next year or so, she will have tleallv as much at her mercy as she had Russia. Almost all

our sea power Is located on the Atlantic ocean, and Japan, witn her pres

ent strength on the Pacific could easily wipe out our small naval force

there. To assure our country peace. Congress shouldtake steps to

build enough battleships and armoured cruisers for service in the Pa

clflc to completely out-class Japan. We should In fact have at least

twenty battleships on the Pacific and a similar number on th.3 Atlantic. Upon the completion of the Panama canal the power of such a force would be about doubled, so easy would it be for the two fleets to combine. But for tho present wo have no Panama canal to render easy tho joining

of our Pacific and Atlantic fleets and won't have for many years. Therefore it Is up to Congress to provide enough warships to thoroughly pro tect our Pacific coast line from the consequences of any probable war with Japan just at present.

SOME CANNING STATISTICS

v Street Commissioner Ed Dye has a perplexing problem on hand just now with reference to clearing the alleys of the city of the vertiable mountains of ashes. Though the force now employed In this work is working its full time limit, there is apparently no relief In sight for the city as a whole until more men and teams are added. The condition now prevailing is a natural and direct result of the shift from natural gas to coal and wood. Six or eight years ago when the home that used coal or wood as a heating fuel was an exception, there was little difficulty In keeping alleys clear of ashes. From that time until tho present the change of fuel has been gradual and now the home that does not use coal or wood is an exception and a very rare one at that. In consequence alleys have been the 'dumping grounds of tons and tons of the residue of coal and wood fires and work as hard as it may, the force employed Is not adequate to the demands upon

it. There are some alleys in Richmond which have not been visited by the ash gatherers in .two weeks and hc iscwlves who pride themselves in having alleyways as neat as the streets in front of their homes naturally complain. The season Is here when the icemen's troubles are ended, but he has a worthy successor in woes in the ash man. Street Commissioner Dye said yesterday afternoon that ho realized fully what he was up against in the ash-gathering proposition and that he would be compelled to have an additional force.

Publishers Press.

Washington, Dec. 7. Indiana now ranks fourth among the States in the canning of fruits and vegetables. The

five leading states, ranked according

to the value of all products canned, are California, Maryland, New York,

Indiana and Illinois. The Census

Bureau today made public statistics on the canning industry, as disclosed by the census of manufactures taken

last year. Two thousand seven hun

dred and three establishments were

in operation when the census was

taken. Their total capital was $70,-

082,076, and they employed 53,862 persons, paid out $17,454,308 in wages

consumed materials costing $70,058,-

CS6, and manufactured products to

the value of $108,505,471. In all of these items except that of the number of persons employed, the industry

shows a marked increase since the census of 1900. The decrease in the number of persons employed was

slight, and was due to the increased

use of the contract system, under

which laborers are not reported as

employes.

A BAD WRECK IN MAINE

FOUR MEET THEIR DEATH

Arguments on Motion. Publishers Press.) nndiay, o., uec. 7. Virgil P. Kline and S. II. Tolles of Cleveland, and J. C. Troup of Bowling Green, attorneys Df the Standard Oil company of Ohio, argued the motion to dismiss the petition in error, because it Is claimed the common pleas court has no jurisdiction to review the proceedings of the probate court in criminal cases. The petition in error raised the question among others that the probate court has no jurisdiction to try cases under the Valentine anti-trust law. Other questions are alleged errors of the probate court. All of them are technical. The outcome of the arguments will determine whether John D. Rockefeller and the three indicted" Standard Oil directors, J. M. Robertson. M. G. Vilas and H. P. Mcintosh of Cleveland, will be brought h,ere to plead to the Indictments.

HAD ORIGIN IN BASEMENT

BUILDING WAS ONE OF SAND

STONE AND WAS HANDSOMELY

DECORATED BUILT BY MRS JENNIE FI8KE.

Publishers' Press. Ithaca. X. Y., Dec. 7. The Chi Psi fraternity house at Cornell university caught fire, and soon the structure was ablaze. Before firemen could arrive O. L. Schmuck of Hanover, Pa., Jumped from a third story window and was so severely injured he died. This makes the probable dead six, in

cluding three of Ithaca's volunteer firemen, who were killed while fighting the flames. Four students lie In the infirmary at the point of death.

The chapter house was built by

Mrs. Jennie McGraw Fiske on the

campus overlooking Cayuga Lake, but never occupied by her because of her premature death. The building was

a beautiful structure of sandstone. The Interior was handsomely decorated with marble and mahogany. The walls were of double rubble and collapsed under fiames and high wind.

The volunteer firemen killed were

A. S. Robinson, a lawyer and a grad

uate of Cornell; Esty JLandon and

John Rumsey. They were manipulating hose when a wall collapsed on them and they slowly roasted under the burning debris. When the firemen arrived screams of two men ap

pearing in the windows of the south

east tower over the main entrance

were heard. For some reason the men hesitated to jump. Before they could be reached the tower collapsed and they were buried under the ruins.

The fire started in the kitchen, in

the basement of the chapter house, and the flames gained considerable head way before students in the house

were awakened.

The chapter house burned rapidly

and the walls cracked apart in all directions. The fire was so hot the firemen were driven from one side of the

building. They put up a hard fight,

but the wails were so hot attempt at

rescue was impossible.

Although Schmuck got out of the

building, ho went back for his roommate, H. M. Nichols of Chicago, and in the attempt to rescue his comrade he was so seriously Injured he died. Nichols is missing and is believed to

be one of the victims.

Among those who were taken from

the ruins was J.' M. McCutcheon of

Pittsburg, the football fullback substi

tute. He was in a pitiable condition, bleeding from cuts caused by falling

timbers and bricks. He died of his injuries.

C. J. Pope, a freshman of the fra

ternity, is missing and is supposed to be under the ruins.

F. W. Greele of Orange, N.'J., a

freshman, is supposed to be dead.

W. W. Goets of Milwaukee, R. R.

Powers of Atlanta, and H. M. Curry,

Jr., of Pittsburg were Injured.

This is the most serious disaster

that ever occurred at Cornell, though at the Delta Chi chapter house fire some years ago several lives were lost

Two Freights in Head on Collision Said to Have Been Due to a Misunderstanding of Orders Eight Cars

Demolished.

Publishers' Press.

Lewiston. Me., Dec. 7. Four people were killed and three others seriously injured in a head-on collision between

a special and regular freight train on the Maine Central railroad near Annebesoako. The wreck was said to be

due to a misunderstanding of orders.

Both trains were going so fast when they met that eight of the 13 cars of the special were hurled over the engine, and demolished with the greater part of the contents. The track was blocked for hours. The dead are: Fireman Hodges of the special. Engineer Fletcher of the regular train. Engineer Harrlman of the special. Brakeman Itowe of Lewiston. Fireman Charles of the regular trains sustained a compound fracture of arm, which may have to be amputated at shoulder. Two brakeman were badly cut about the head and sustained f" c "!? and burns.

The work on the new Pennsylvania

lighting plant is progressing very rapidly and although the machinery

has not yet arrived it is expected in

the course of the next few days. The

poles which will be used have been

put in place and the wires will be connected so soon as the dynamos arrive.

Supt. Neff stated yesterday that

he could not say as to the exact time when the railroad company would

quit using, power from the city light

plant, but it would be within the six month's limit set by the railroad company and notice given to the Board

of Public Works.

The natural gas situation locally Is

not Improved so that any of the

housewives notice It. Persistency will accomplish many things and so it comes about that water may be

made to boil if time is given it. The time required varies in different parts of the city, but generally speaking the pressure of the gas Is so low that often doubt arises as to whether gas fires are really lighted. Ye; 3rday

cold weather increased the demands made upon the supply and the depleted pressure was perhaps more in evidence than ever before this winter. The gas company has been making a strenuous effort to get its "new stack" of Henry county fuel piped into the homes of its Richmond patrons and the company officers have said from the beginning of the work that there was every indication that this winter's supply would probably be as bountiful as last. There still is reason to believe that the situation will be relieved to a considerable extent within the next day or two, and in the meantime the users of natural

gas are living hope on partially cook ed food.

Publishers Press. Ban Fru ., tc. 7.- n an inteivlew bearing on the recommendations made in his message by President Roosevelt on Japanese naturalization and on ths segregation of their children in schools, K. Uyenpa, Japan's consul here, says: "Sentiment is

practically universal among the 10,000

Japanese In San Francisco that tl recommendations made by the president constitute the most rational solution of American-Japanese problems yet attempted. The Japanese are not only pleased with the message, but they regard it as one of the most noteworthy documents of international questions Issued from the White House. There is no question but the bonds between Japan and the United States would be considerably strengthened by conferring the privilege of franchise cn the Japanese in California. There are some ,50.000 Japanese in the state, and while I am not in a position to say how many of there would take advartae, of naturalization privileges, I do think that the number would be comparatively large. I think this would be especially so in the case of the" Japanese in San Francisco. Many Japanese have family and property interests here, and they would naturally regard San Francisco as their permanent home once they believed they had the same privileges as other aliens. Concerning the school segregation question a fit is being written and talked about It that is due to misconception of the facts In the case. I think the entire matter will

be solved satisfactorily, and that there is no occasion for believing otherwise. The Japanese are not striving for anything unreasonable, and are quite willing to let the facts in the dispute

Often Had Committed Thefts in Ohio But Had Never Suffered Punishment Goes to the Penitentiary From Here Today.
