On the Watch for Him

Less to-day received a communication
from Portland, Ore. stating that Charles
Doyle, alias Augustus Howard the Aus
tralian plunger. who is wanted by the
police in this city on three charges of en-
hezzlement was on the Oregon express
which left Oakland last night. The chiefs

citic have been notified by cable to watch
the ports at which he would land The
police of Seattle and Portland are also

Chicago, Aug. ia special to the
Times-Herald from Clinton. Ind, says:
The old wagon bridge which has spanned
the Wabash river at this point for half a
century has been wrecked by electricity.
The county had bought the piers from
DR.. Bogart, the principal owner. he agree
ing to remove the superstructure to make
way for a new bridge. Efforts were made
to burn the bridge but it was found that
this would injure the pier, so the sils were
wired and electricity applied. The cur
rent was turned on at O'Clock this
morning and at o'clock in the after
noon the pile of timbers toppled into the
river, leaving the foundations unhurt
The electricity had the effect of cutting
all the sils simultaneously, as with so
many saws. This was the only toll
bridge remaining in Indiana, and 1000
persons sent up a mighty cheer as the
splintered spans went tumbing into the
water.

CARLETON STANDS PAT
Maintains Bis Position Relative
to the American Boy"
VERY UNWlSE MOVEMENT
superintendent OF Public Instruction
Does Not Believe the Plan to Build
Warship by School Children's
Subscriptions Good One.
Special Dispatch to the Standard.


Helena, Aug. Estate Superintend-
ent of Public Instruction E. A. Carrie
ton does not propose to recede from his
position relative to the plan for build
ing battleship to be named THE
American Boy" from contributions of
school children. He recently declined
to officially approve the project, and
to- day replied to letter from Richard
James Vincent, it's boy promoter who
sought to persuade him that his posi-
ton was wrong. In the course of his
reply, Superintendent Carleton to-day
said:
Il think it very unWise movement,
fostered by false ideas of patriotism
and false notions of the function of the
public school. You ask me, What
could teach patriotism more constantly
or more thoroughly than a floating
monument to the nations dead, built
by those who will some day compose
the nation?'
Every battleship af1oat and every
one in building, has been built and Is
being built, by those who compose the
nation of which, the implication of
your letter to the contrary, notwith-
standing the 16,0OO,OO0 of school children
compose a very important part. If,
therefore. warships are the best means
of teaching patriotism, we are not
lacking in this regard.
The plan to build a ship is based upon
a false assumption that it will be built
by the school children. Will it? Ger
tainly not. AS well might you say that
the Oregon or the Olympia was built
by the school children, as to say that
this proposed American Boy is to be
built by them. If the American Boy
is ever built as it is proposed, it will
be built by the parents of the school
children contributing the money

years imprisonment AS he has already

Trial SeDtember 10

Newport, r. l., Aug. 19.-Captain
Woodbury. Kane said last night that it
was practically settled that the first
trial race will take place off Newport
on Sept. 10. He said the Newport
course had been selected because of it's
proximity to Bristol. to which yachts
would have to go in case of an acci-
dent. The towing to New York and
out to Sandy Hook course he said,
would consume a great deal of time
unnecessarily. The Columbia will, go to
Bristol to-day to have her steel mast
stepped.
