HERO HoBSON.
He Will Instruct n Class in Naval
Architecture ut AnnapoIis


Naval Constructor Hobson will again
be in charge of the course of naval ar
chitecture at the Annapolis Naval Acad-
emy, where three cadets have been pur-
suing their studies preparatory to being
assigned at the end of three years to
the construction corps. This course,
which was the first established in this
country, is the result of the Navy De-
paItment's purpose to abandon the policy
of fifteen years, whereby the leading ca
det at Annapolis each year was sent
abroad and educated at the Royal School
at Greenwich, or some of the famous
technical institutions at Glasgow or
Paris, in the science of naval warship
building, and later appointed an assistant
naval constructor.
The advanced rank in their classes
taken by the Annapolis men aroused the
jealousies of foreign students and the
British government, concluding that the
American navy was securing advantages
from the course, refused to permit the
cadets to be entered at the Greenwich
school. While no official objection was
raised to their being sent to private in
stitutions of learning, it was evident
that the British naval authorities prefer
req the American CdQetS TO remain at
home
Last October the course was begun at
Annapolis with three cadets, and Con-
structor Hobson, who is regarded as
theoretically one of the most capable Of
ficers of his corps, became the first head
One of his pupils was Cadet Powell, who
ran the little steam launch close under
the bows of the Merrimac until the big
ship entered Santiago harbor on her dam
gerous mission. Powell is now an ensign,
but he is to continue the course begin
ming in October, and when he has fin
ished it will resign his commission in the
line and be appointed an assistant con-
Structor.
In addition to the class of three now
under orders to report at the academy
in September, will be three other cadets
who were assigned today by the Navy
Department for the full course. These
are Cadet John Halligan, jr., of Massa-
chusetts; Cadet Henry Williams, of Ma
ryland and Cadet William G. Watts, of
Pennsylvania. These young men are to
be required to take the full course COW
ering three years, and each is assured of
a commission as assistant constructor on
graduating finally. Naval Constructor
Hobson will probably have an assistant
to help him instruct the class. The last
cadets educated abroad returned home
prior to the war and are now construct
orS.

TO STOP GAMBLING.
Civic Federation of Chicago to Crush
1t Out of Existence.

Chicago, July 29.-George Henry
Wheeler and James Howard officials
of the Washington Park club who were
indicted for public gambling at the race
track of that organization, appeared in
Judge Bakers court yesterday and
gave ST. 900 bonds. President WheeIer's
brother. Charles w. Wheeler, and L.
Minzenhimer were sureties. They
scheduled $4,000 unincumbered prop
erty
It is said the defendants will make a
strong legal fight when the case comes
to trial and will contend that the club
had no official relation with the betting
booths at the track.
The grand jury sent for John Hill,
Jr., chairman of the committee on gam
bling for the Civic Federation, yester-
day and asked him a number of ques-
tons in regard to gambling in Chicago.
1t is said Chief Ripley and Sheriff Pease
may be called upon to explain why the
police and deputy sheriffs do not sup
press gambling at the race tracks and
elsewhere in the city.
As Mr.. Hill came out of the grand
jury room he smiled and said: 7 hope
to live long enough to see the day
when some grand jury viii indict a
chief of police who allows gambling to
go on right under his nose and makes
no effort to stop it. In the fall I intend
TO continue my work to suppress gam
bling and don't care who the man is
politically or socially, the offender will
pay the penalty for violation of the law.
I shall ask the grand jury to indict
owners of buildings who rent their
property to men who run bucl6et-shOps
or gaming houses I'll show the people
of Chicago what a palpable omission of
duty some police officials are guilty Of
and they may have to explain before

Out in Review.

Chickamauga Park,Jul 29.-The first
South Carolina regiment broke camp at
an early hour this morning and march
ed five miles to Rossville, where South
ern railway trains for Jacksonville were
taken. The officers and men of this reg
fment have been anxious to get away
for some time and their departure was
an especially enthusiastic One. No 9TH
er commands have yet received moving
orders, but it is believed that the first
brigade, second division, first corps, will
go out early next week. The local rail-
road officials have received invitations
from the war department to bid on the
transportation of the Sixth United
States volunteer infantry and Fourth
Tennessee infantry at Knoxville and
the Fifth United States volunteer in
fantry at Columbus to Chickamauga
Park.
At 2 o'clock this afternoon the wagon

very picturesque one. The wagon train
was three lines deep as follows:
First South Carolina, Eighth Massa-
chusetts First New Hampshire, Twelfth
Minnesota Twelfth New York, Second
Missouri. Fifth Pennsylvania, Twenty
first Kansas, Ninth Pennsylvania. They
were in brigade formation, the First

right Each regiment has 81 wagons,
making 487 in all. To each wagon was
attached four mules, this bringing the
number above a thousand.

TO GIVE WHOLE PARK.
All of James Park to Be Devoted to
the Grocers' Barbecue.

The Grocers' association meets tonight
at Trades Assembly hall at o'clock to
perfect the arrangements for the second
annual picnic.
1t is the intention to hold this on Labor
day, September 5, at Garfield park
AS yet no arrangements have been made
for the barbecue, but local packers and
representa- tiveS of Kansas City packers
have Signified their willingness to contrib
ute bOuntifully toward the barbecue. The
only fault with last years barbecue was
that the supply of meat and the room at
the tables was not enough to half accom-
modate the crowd. This fault will be
remedied this year and if James park is
secured the entire enclosure will be given
over to the barbecue.
For entertainment it has been suggested
that some company be engaged to give
a performance in the afternoon and even
ing, the entertainment to be given in the
Casino, as that building will be done by
the middle of August. A small admis-
sion would be charged for the entertain
ment and the money cleared would also
go toward the Auditorium.
Secretary Wilcox of the Trades and La
Dor assembly is anxious to bring speaker
here of wide reputation. Prof E. Benja-
min Andrews of Brown university ex-
Governor Altgeld of Illinois and the great
labor leader, Samuel Gompers, have been
suggested.
In the field south of the park a base ball
game, bicycle races and other sports will
be held. There is to be a continual band
concert and dancing in the evening.

CIGARETTES HIT HARD.
A Judge Says Smokers Are as Bad
as Burglars

Liberty, Mo.,July 29.-Martin Doggett
and Earl LarimOre were arraigned be-
fore Judge BrOaddus at Kingston,
charged with burglarizing a drug store.
When asked by the judge both of the
16-year-old boys confessed that they
smoked cigarettes. Judge Broaddus
gave the boys a good lecture, in which
he said:
Il sentence you each to five years in
the reform school and parole you on the
four following conditions: First, that
you shall not smoke cigarettes; second,
that you shall not drink any intOxicat-
ing liquors; third, that you shall at
tend school regularly; fourth, that you
shall not violate any law. If I learn
of your violating any of these condi-
lions shall order you taken to the re-
form school forthwith to serve out your
sentence.
Il have observed that all the boys
that come before me charged with
crimes are smokers of cigarettes. I do
not know of an exception in all cases
that have come under my observation.
1 consider cigarette smoking almost as
bad as burglary"

ENDED FRUITLESSLY.
The Effort to Prevent Scott Kelsey
From Being Declared the
Nominee

The attempt to beat Scott Kelsey out
of the nomination as county commits
siOner has ended in thin VapOr.
The vote was canvassed at o'clock
Thursday afternoon and Kelsey was
declared the nominee over Mr.. Dave
Mulvane's earnest protest. Mr.. Kelsey
refused to vote to make the Capital the
official county paper and his friends
claim that is the source Of the opposi-
ton.
Mr.. Kelsey carried the primary by So
votes, but Mr.. Mulvane and Mr. Quin-
ton, who acted as attorneys for G.. A.
Anderson, the other candidate, wanted
the vote of Oakland precinct thrown
out because the polls were not closed
promptly at the time fixed by the CEN
trail committee. The central committee
refused to open the ballots and make a
recount and Mr.. Kelsey was declared
the nominee. His attorney was T. F.
Doran.
The canvass of the vote made no ma
teriaI change in the result though the
ma jorities were changed somewhat.
The majOrities were as follows:
Dolman, 929; JetmOre, SIG; Callahan,
4O5; Anderson, 920; Kelsey, SO; Stephen
son, 1893; Stout Ono OppOsition), 1924;
McKeever Ono opposition) Ill; Brooks,
Ono oppositiOn), S45.
The nomination papers have been
filed with the county clerk.
