THE AMERICAN NAVY.
Secretary Long Talks to a Reporter
 About Its Personnel

Secretary Long Talks to a Reporter
 About Its Personnel.
 Washington, October 14.-The en- listeds men are very much inn proved. Drinking habits are not toll erated. and liquors are no longer al- lowed on the ships. I issued an order to that effect some two or three years ago, and have found that the results are good. The old sailor has in one sense passed away. There are no longer sails for him to manage and man.
 Our navy to-day is as good as any m the world. Not only that, but it is rapidly increasing, both in size and in strength. It is better to-day than any other as far as it goes. Say this while admitting that the British and French navies are larger.
 Our relations with foreign officers are very cordial, and the very strength of our navy will insure us a long period of peace. While I have great pride in our navy, am confident that the in- terests of the world in the future lie in the direction of peace. Not only does Christian civilization shudder at war, but as financial question it is becoming impracticable. The cost of preparation to-day is more than any nationFcan bear. When to this you add the still greater cost resulting from loss of business, destruction of com. merce, and the general upsetting of all industries, the total reaches an in- calculable figure. It will be a disgrace
 
 Ingenuity and judgment if after solv-. ing all other great problems it cannot solve the problem of international dis putes in some way less clumsy, brutal and costly way than by killing and bloodshed and the destruction of life and property.

Mr.. Thompson also referred to the
attack on Chester Doyle and Sheriff
Brown, defending them from the as
pensions of Mr.. Fitch, and saying that
they had done their duty as is re-
quired of them. He said in closing
that only one other question was to
be considered. whether Mr.. Love was
tricked into applying for a spendthrift
trust. This was no defense, and Love
was presumed to know the law, wheth-
er he did or not. Continuing:
TT does not necessarily follow that
because Mr.. Magoon is discharged, that
the spendthrift trust is terminated, il
Mr.. Magoon has done anything open to
censure he should be discharged, but
some one should be appointed in his
place, to take care of the property of
this poor old man. There is more than
the property of Mr.. Love at stake;
there is his person, also, and if this
hydra headed monster, this Shylock
guardian is eliminated, some one should
be appointed in his place."
Mr.. Thompson also quoted the law
extensively in his argument, holding
that under the spendthrift law, the
trust could not be terminated unless it

was shown that Mr.. Love had abstain
ed entirely from the use of liquor for
!, a stated period.
Mr.. Fitch, in replying, attacked Mr..
Thompson for his action in calling into
question the motives Of Mrs. Roe, say
ing that counsel should be careful not
to attack any one who was unable to
reply, and especially a woman. He
said:
"In this journey of Mr.. Love from
the Jerusalem of Mrs. Roe to Mrs.
Hart, he fell among Magoon. I don't
know who the good Samaritan is In
this case, unless 1 may claim the hon
or. There is no law to hold this man
under guardianship. 1t has been
shown that he is not spending his in
come, and this man should be allowed
to spend the remainder of his life with
some degree of comfort. This trust
should be terminated, even If Mr.. Ma
COON does not want it,
The court, in his remarks upon the
case, plainly intimated his feeling in
the matter, and there is no question In
the minds of those who heard the pro-
ceedings, as to the ending of the case.
Decision was reserved
The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1885-1921, 1901-08-21

ment for plaintiff had been intensely
inconsistent. He said that Mr.. and
Mrs. Hart had been made the scape-
goats of Loves errors and been sub
jected to a bitter attack on that &C
count. But even if this were true, he
said, this made no difference in the
fact that Love had squandered his in
come He said there were five stages
of NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. verbose, belli-
cose, lachrymose and comatose-and
perhaps Mrs. Roe and the remainder
of the witnesses for the plaintiff took
into consideration only the last stage
when they were giving their testimony
He referred also to the interest and
expectations of Mrs. Roe from the es-
tate of Love.
1.-THE probable reason Mr. Roe never
saw Mr. Love when he was drunk, y
argued Mr.. Thompson, was because
Mr.. Roe got into those stone blind
DRINKS. and couldn't see. i am willing
to put this charitable construction up
on his testimony. / would hardly want
to put Mrs. Roe in the same category;
she has never seen Love drunk, prob
ably for the reason that she has been
blinded by the property always before
her eyes.
Il want to make no defense for the
allowance of 81 a week made to Love,
court"
What about the other four dolIars?"
asked Judge Gear.
That was for pin money"
ooh, yes; he could spend that In
riotous living"
Certainly 81 a week wouldn't keep
a man of Mr. Loves physical and men,
tai condition in a state of drunkenness.
1 question if 81 spent in light wine,
taken at one gulp, would make Mr..
Love drunk But it seems that he
did not need to spend his own money
for liquor; this was kindly furnished
by the good Samaritan, Mrs Roe.
Wine and liquor were furnished at the
unlicensed home of Mrs. Roe, as testi-
fed to by the members of this family
compact. AS to the son-in-law, Lyle,
who called on the daughter of Mrs,
Roe every night, he could not. be ex-
pected to see that Mr.. Love was
drunk, if the old saying, Love Is blind,
is true
Continuing at 4 o'clock In the after
noon, Mr.. Thompson further paid his
respects to the Roe family, and said
that one reason Mrs. Roe said she had
never seen Love drunk, was that she
had never known him any other way
He then continued:
Colonel Fitch compared Mr.. Ma
COON action to HE'LL. tillilK THAT MI >
Roe's house could well be compared &c
Oantes Inferno peopled with damned
souls, from which shrieks and cries
always issue. He wants to take Love
away from Shylock Magoon and turn
him over to Mrs. Roe. He wants Love
,nfolded in this emporium of drunken
,ess of Mrs. Roe. I don't think she
has even the tenacious virtues of a
yrizzly bear to which he compares Mr.
lagoon, and yet be wants to take this
nan away from Magoon's tender mer-
lies to be EMBODIED in the open arms
of Mrs. Roe"

Plans in Hand for an Eight Lap Board,
Saucer Track-W ork to Begin in a
Few Days-opening Day June
l5-We.l Known Bicy-
lists Will Be Here

Butte is to have a bicycle track-a
hrst-class. up to- date board saucer track
that will be as fine as anything ever
erected for the promotion of the fas-
cinating. honest and manly sport of BIZ
cycle racing. For weeks the idea has
been nothing more than an iucipient
project, but now it has taken definite
shape, and before thirty days elapse
Butte enthusiasts will see enough of the
scheme in evidence to insure it's ultimate
naturalization.
The announcement that the bicycle
track is now an assured thing was made
last night at the McDermott hotel by
John b. King, manager of the Butte
Athletic association, a new organization
about to be incorporated for the foster
ing of all athletic and gymnasium
sports.
Mr.. King is the authorized representa-
tive of considerable Butte and Salt Lake
capital. He has been an assiduous work
er in the interest of the new project.
and now states that his efforts have met
with t1attering success. All deals for
the promoting of the enterprise are now
complete he says, and all that remains
is to decide upon a site for the track
and begin work upon it.
Plans for the track are now complete
and in the hands of Mr.. King. They
are for a regulation eisht-lap saucer
track, banked on the ends to an angle
of nearly As degrees. with good. fast
stretches on the back and front. 1t
will be thoroughly equipped, with dress
ing rooms, training quarters and all the
essentials of first-class track. 1t will
be an open air affair. constructed much
after the fashion of the old Roman am
phitheaters, and will have seating
capacity of over 5000. The track will be
eliptical in shape and the seats will be
arranged all around it so that every
spectator will have an unobstructed
view of the riders at all times.
The races will be held at night. Twen-
ty full power arc electric lights will be
put in position around the track and in
Its center, so that the light thus afforded
will be as near equal to daylight as
possible. The events include novice, lap.
heat, pursuit. handicap. team and con-
ISOLATION races, and, in addition, several

BICYCLE RACING IN BUTTE IS
NOW AN ABSOLUTE CERTAINTY.

of the soul-stirrins and hairraisns
motor cycle races.
Many of the best riders both at dis
tances and spurts have sisnitied their
intention of appearing in the various
events. They are enthusiastic over the
proposed track and say they could wish
for nothing better than long season in
such climate as Butte affords.
The racing will he strictly under the
rules of the National Cycling association.
The officials will all be Thoroughly COM
petent and everything will be as or
dained by the association. In tact the
racing could not possibly be in more
competent hands in any particular.
Manager King is a thorough sportsman.
having managed such affairs and others
with great success. He is an old news
paper man. and sporting editor at that.
and what he does not know about sports
in general is not worth knowing.
The site for the new track has not
been definitely decided upon. Mr.. King
has an option on several places. all of
which are desirable. In fact so able
are they that it will be difficult matter
to choose among them. All are admir-
ably situated. are easy of access and
convenient to rapid transit. Manager
Wharton of the Butte street railway has
been approached about the matter and
has signified his intention of furnishing
efficient service to and from the track
1t is intended to have the track ready
for racing by June Is. Indications are
that it can not only be completed by
that time. but will be ready in every
detail to promote the sport The racing
will continue for a least sixty days.
Everything depends on how the sport
will be received. There need be no APP
prehenSion or doubt on that score. how
ever. as anyone who has ever seen a
first class bicycle race is as a matter of
course an enthusiast.
To once see a squad of men of Drawn
and muscle fighting every inch of a mile
for track supremacy is to be a lover of
bicycle racing forever after. Particu-
larly is that so in the case of {: board
saucer track, where not only does the
speed and graceful riding of the contes-
tants appeal to the onlooker but the
skill of the men to ride practically on
a perpendicular wall appeals to all.
Butte will soon be educated to the
sport. and when that time comes the
peope will surely have the ubiquitous
and ever contagious bicycle racing
| craze
