SECRETARY MEYER ' IS REORGANIZING THE NAVAL FORCE Is Putting Sea Fighting Force , on Business Basis, but Is Not Impairing Military ; Effectiveness. ADVISERS APPOINTED TO HELP SECRETARY

Old Red Tape in Navy Department Being Thrown Away and the Operations Are Now Quite Simple. , BY JONATHAN WINFIELD. Washington. Nov. 6. Secretary of the Navy Meyer, has been inspecting the Western and Southern navy yards and the naval station at Guantanamo, Cuba, with a view to studying the workings of his reorganization plan and learning what measures, if any, may be necessary to perfect ' his scheme for ' securing the greatest efficiency of the ' huge Navy machine; together with the : greatest possible economy in effective operation. ' Secretary Meyer's business training has given him special qualifications for putting the affairs of the Navy in order, but he has realized at the same time, it is said that the Navy is by no means a business concern. It exists for military efficiency, and the whole plan of the so-called "Meyer reorganization" keeps ' this ' end ' steadily in view. -; The ' cardinal points of Secretary Meyer's plan are these: The Cardinal Points. First,' The appointment of four responsible ' advisers,' who are to keep the Secretary fully Informed upon the operations of the fleet, material, personnel . and inspection; each of the aids' making a specialty of one division. , Second. The grouping of the. bureau into two divisions, those of per aonnel and material. Third. The establishment of a per manent Inspection system, reporting direct to the Secretary. Fourth, The creation of a uniform a ystem of cost-accounting, separated entirely from the manufacturing and repair departments. Fifth, The division of Navy yard work into two distinct classes; hull and machinery. Take for example, the building of a ship under this system. First the division of operations which includes the general board, originates the military features, the primary object for which the vessel Is to exist. These are then referred to the technical bureaus for .sketches, plans, etc. - The subject then goes before the general board, which, in turn, summons officers who are experts in engineering, ordnance and other branches, to give their advice. Finally, after , the plans have been approved by the Secretary, they are handed over to the Bureau of Construction and repair, which is to carry out the actual building. In this way the officers who will have to navigate and fight the ships are given as nearly as possible the sort of a vessel which their experience has taught them will be most effective in. war, a valuable fighting unit.

Burns got Manning at. Newark, Ohio, where he had been working in one of the big stove foundaries at that place. . fle made his escape from- the Michigan city immediately after the trouble. The assault of Berry was. a sensational one. There were over 40 moulders in a Kalamazoo saloon. There was an argument which almost resulted n a fight, when Berry in the role of a peace maker asked all of them up to have a drink, saying they "should not fuss." " The trouble seemed to be over and Berry walked to the rear of the saloon. With, a cry of rage the big moulder leaped on Berry with his knife and cut him down.' . The moulders in the front of the saloon parted and let the criminal escape. He was first arrested In Newark . for carrying concealed weapons. .. . HOOKWORM SUFFERER. ) Richmond, Va., Nov. 5.

REASONS FOR KEEPING BEVERIOOE . OFFER USE OF RIGS Many of the republican voters of ' this city have volunteered to lend their rigs and automobiles to get' out the vote 4Tuesday. These offers have been gladly accepted by the republican central committee and it is expected that before Tuesday there will be a number of other offers of rigs .- and ' automobiles. Those who have so far offered to assist in getting out the vote have informed the committee that they do not expect pay for their services.' .'. . . ; TO DUMh MISSISSIPPI Water Power Structure Costing $15,000,000 to Be : Built-at Keoicuk. SEVEN EIGHTHS MILE LONG Kansas City, Nov. 6. A dam is being built across the Mississippi river and no longer will the entire energy of that stream be expended in washing its own channel or in creating new ones. The water is to be held in a big lake near Keokuk, la., and It will not be allowed to continue in its course until it rushes against the paddles of water wheels and gives part of its energy to creating electricity, which in turn will help to do the work of the world. Work on the dam has been startetd. It will be finished in two and a half years and it . Is estimated that the force of the water passing over the dam will generatte 100.000 horse power for use day and night. . -t Near Keokuk the water; dashes over ive miles of rapids. Beneath the water there is a solid layer of nature's masonry. The dam . Is being built at the lowest part of the rapids. A high bank adjoins the rapids on. the west side. " On the east ; side - the land . is low, but the hills are not far off. The dam will have to be extended to the hills. . .. .. .. . . .; . ' . :' Dimensions of the Dam. ' The dam will be seven-eighths of a mile long. It will be thirty-seven feet high from the bed of the river and forty-three' feet wide at its base. On top of: the spill. way, will be placed 116 steel floodgates, which will be supported by concrete piers, eight ' feet wide and eleven feet high. A bridge will be built on top of the piers. From the bridge the gates can be closed or opened by electric . machines. The gates will be thirty feet widel and eleven feet. high. By manipulating the gates the level of the water above the dam can be kept at the same height' In drought or flood. One-half million cubic yards of masonry, , one-half mil lion barrels . of ' cement ' and seven thousand 'tone of steel will be used in the construction of the dam. It will be made of concrete,- locked firmly in the rock bed of the river. Fifteen hun dred men will be employed In1 building it. ' , ; The electric power bouse where the energy of the water will be turned into electricity is to be 1,400 feet long, 123 feet high and 133 feet wide. In this power bouse there will be thirty generating units, each 'capable' of developing 3,333 1-3 horse power. . The lake above the dam will be forty miles long. The rocks underlying the rapids will be burled in the bottom of this lake. These rapids always have been a menace to navigation. Locks lead the course around them. There always is much delay to river boats In passing through the locks. One lock will now replace the many, so the building of the dam will be an aid to navigation.

TO DRILL 2,000 FEET DEEP Liberal, Kas., Nov. 5. The question whether or not the country, around Liberal is underlaid with artesian water,, oil or gas, is to undergo the test. For the purpose of drilling a prospect hole from two thousand to three thou sand feet deep, a number of local business, men . will' organise a stock cpmpany and push the proposition to some conclusion during the next sixty days. Negotiations - are now pending" whereby it is expected that T. A. Stancliff, an expert wellman of Lake Arthur, New Mexico, will contract for the well, Mr. , Stancliff has . but. recently demonstrated that artesian water can be had in Mourn county in commercial proportions and. ia. of the opinion that the' same conditions - apply to Seward county.- This-belief has existed for a number of .years, and experts ; have suggested from time to time that a prospect well would reveal the presence of oil and gas in commercial quantities ' under ' a large portion of this section of southwest Kansas. It is believed, however, that oil and gas, if" found.' will be at a greater depth than the water bearing Dakota sandstone, .which gives up the artesian water.
