ARMOR PLATE BOARD MEET
Manufacture of Armor Plate by the
Government to be Considered
in Earnest

Washington, Aug. ia special naval
board appointed by Acting Secretary
Roosevelt for the purpose of preparing
for the information of congress estf-
mates of the cost of establishing and
operating a government plant for the
manufacture of armor, is holding
meeting at the navy department. All
of the members were present, namely,
Commodore Howell, Captain McCor-
mick, Civil Engineer Endicott, Chief
Engineer Perry, Lieutenant Fletcher
and Lieutenant Chambers, recorder.
The plan is to make a most thorough
investigation of the question presented
in all of it's aspects, not only with
view to the ascertainment of the cost of
building a great government factory,
propositions will be invited for the sale
of a complete plant to the government.
While this last information was not
specifically directed to be furnished to
congress in the law, it is deemed de-
sirable to supply it, in order to permit
of consideration of the economic ad-
VantageS of each plan.
Inasmuch as the ship builders have
failed to respond favorably to the gov
ernments invitation to submit bids
within the $500 mark for supplying
armOr for the ships now building, Mr..
Roosevelt called the special attention
of the board to this subject and one of
practicable plan for the procurement of
this armor for the three battleShipS, IL
hnois, Alabama and Wisconsin, within
a reasonable period of time.
Acting Secretary Roosevelt has ac-
cepted the offer of the Cramps to furn-
ish the diagonal armor for the Alabama
and this insures that vessel against de-
lay in construction.

BAPTIST DEBT PAID.
The First Church is Now Entirely
Clear of Its Mortgage.

The First Baptist church is now free
of debt. The mortgage will be paid
off and the interest will be avoided. The
money has been raised by the congre-
CATION, the whole membership subscrib-
inc. something. The largest subscrip-
ton was $3.50. The mortgage was So
0SS Al
When the Baptist people sold their
proposed new church site, where the
high school now stands, one of the ar
guments made to induce voters to vote
for the Baptist site was that the
church would build a new structure
and thus the city would get two hand
some buildings instead of one. Whether
Baptist church members individually
were authorized to make such a state
ment is not known, but as yet no
handsome new church has appeared.

THEY GO no COURT
Over a Calf Trouble and Court Off,
Gals Will Get All Their Cash.

Michael McGinty owns three little
calves and Mrs. Evaline Spradley has
a little garden patch and the two got
mixed up, and now Mr.. McGinty and
Mrs. Sprad ley don't speak as they pass
by. McGinty's calves are of a rowing
disposition and, like all little calves,
they like to get out and wander around
in the neighbors' yards and in places
where they ought not to be- Some
times they can appreciate nice little
garden patch and delight in walking
up and down the corn rows and lying
in the shade of the large, growing
watermelons. This is the reason that Nc
Ginty got into trouble. His calves
wouldn't stay at home.
Mr.. McGinty and Mrs. Spradley live
in Highland Park. One night few
days ago McGinty's calves started out
for an evening stroll. They were go
ing nowhere in particular and no doubt
made up their minds to call on Mrs.
Spradley. They had just entered her
yard through the rear gate and were
on their way to the house when Mrs.
Spradley looked out of the back win
dow and saw them approaching. Prob
ably rnistaking their intentions, Mrs.
Spradley rushed out Of the house,
chased them into the barn and tied
| them up.
About 8 O'Clock McGinty came home,
| missed his calves and, with his son
| Micky, started out to find them. After
| looking for them for perhaps an hour
| they finally located the calves in Mrs.
| Spradley's barn. Now, McGinty' and
| his son were neither in a very jcvial
state of mind by the time they found
the calves and, as Mrs. Spradley says,
| they proceeded to let her know it ir
| very forcible language. Mrs. Spra dley' S
| feelings were touched, and as the
| calves had attempted to touch her gar
| den she charged Mr.. McGinty $1.50 for
| the trouble of tying up the calves.
| McGinty paid the bill but the same
| time, so says Mrs. Spradley, both he
and his son used terms which are not
| proper in polite society. She went tc
| Justice of the Peace Guy and had Mr.
| McGinty and his son arrested. TheiI
| trial came up yesterday and Mr.. Nc
| Ginty found that he had been fined s.
| and costs. The case was appealed
| There will be lot of costs more thar
40 calves or 40 gardens are worth,

BOOMING TOO FAST.
Russell Sage Thinss it Would Be Bet

New York. Aug. 11.-Russel1 Sage
said today that, while he continued to
hold to his expressed opinion that eve
rything pointed to an era of prosperity
for this country, so far as the stock
market was concerned he was fearful
that the boom was advancing too fast
1T would be BETTER said Mr.. Sage,
''that the stock market should advance
quietly and gradually, for such violent
advances as have occurred, engineered
for the most part by speculative cliques
are apt to result in violent reactions.
The market has been anticipating the
revival in business after the long period
of depression that we have experienced,
] fear, in too fast a fashion. 1t would
be better if the advance were more
gradual, so that it could be maintain

The administration of President Nc

has carried through a tariff bill in spite
of all opposition, and will no doubt sue

bill at no distant date. He had to en-
counter the results of four years of de-
