THE LED.
She Was Made the Target for the
Searchlights.


Newport, r. l., Sept. 5.-The ships
waited three hours after dark before
again attempting an engagement with
the defenses of Narragansett bay.
Three rockets in rapid succession
were sent up from Point Judith, but
Newport until the leading vessel, the
cruiser Brooklyn, was discovered in
side the line between Beaver Tail
light and Brenton's reef lightship. She
was Immediately made the target of
three powerful searchlights, but she
was well up in the mouth of the har-
Dor before the first gun on shore was
fired.
Two 10-inch disappearing rifles on
Fort Wetherill were the first to
speak. The Brooklyn made no reply,
except to turn on her s~earchlight,
which she sent full in the eyes of
the gunners on Fort Wetherill. The
cruiser was a magnificent sight as
she came up the harbor full in the
light of the four or five searchlights,
with her battle flags flying from her
two masts.
Fighting Was Mt Close Quarters.
By the time the Brooklyn vas
abreast of Fort Wetherill the gum
ners on that fertilization had for
saken the big guns and taken up the
secondary battery. It was then that
the Brooklyn's guns began to speak.
This was at ten o'clock, and for half
an hour afterward there was one con-
tinuous roar both from ships and
shore. The fighting was at close
quarters, so that nothing but rapid
fire guns could be used. Every ship
was enveloped in sheets of flame,
while all along the shore of Fort
Wetherill on the left, and Fort Adams
on the right, there was a continuous
cannonade. The Brooklyn reached
the head of the harbor at 1920 and
all the battleships were well inside a
few minutes later.
The battle was one of the most
spectacular affairs ever seen in this
vicinity, and the roar shook Newport
to it's foundations.
The attacking ships kept up the
harbor until they were almost under
the walls of Fort Adams and nearly
abreast of the torpedo station. There
they appeared to anchor, and every
one thought that the fight was at an
end. Within half an hour the five
vessels suddenly steamed out of the
harbor in the same formation as that
in which they came.
The battle tonight is considered by
unofficial observers here to be a de-
cided victory for the navy.

The Columbia and Park theaters will

The haIftone process Of reproducing

This process makes it possible to repro
print by purely mechanical means. SO If
the photograph Is good, the newspaper
print Is good. t#
The picture to be reproduced is photo
praphed through plate glass screen. This
Is made by ruling two pieces Of plate glass
IN fine parallel black lines. These pieces
are then glued together with transparent
gum In such a way that the lines cross
at right angles. In this way the negative
obtained by photographing through the
screen Is made up of small dots of vary
ing backness, instead of being merely
dots can be reproduced in zinc by etch-
Ing away the white spaces between with
nitric acid. The finished cut Is produced
very rapidly by the newspaper process SO

Suit. 4

~ Trouble Is in store for the contractor
who put up the contagious ward at the
city hospital and for the city officials who
had hand: in incurrfng an expense tof
$4,000 without authority.
Awell-known attorney at the courthouse
this morning said that neither the con
tractor nor the architect can recover from
the city, and that their only, recourse is II,
an appeal to the members Of the board of
charities and corrections as private citi-
zens.< All interested persons should have
informed themselves as to the legality of
the contract and the availability of the
funds. This is an established rule of law
The fact that the building has been erect
ed and is in use by the hospital authorities
in no wise affects the case.
Under the laws of the state, the mem
bers of the county board are liable to an
Indictment and criminal prosecution ir
case they exceed the amount of an apprO.
priation fixed by the board of tax levy.
THE law should apply to city boards
and officials as we'll as to county officials, y
declared the attorney quoted. t.'rhe cases
are identically the same, and it is only be-
cause our laws are incomplete that the
members Of the board of charities and
corrections and the hospital authorities
are not liable to arrest and prosecution.

ruption that such arbitrary power has
been conferred on the board Of tax lew

Keep Things seething From
Now to the Finish.
Gov. Van SAINT, Page Morris and Sem
$ ator Fairbanks Speakers Of
Z the Near Future.

While there has been no let-up In Its
work on the part of the republican cam
mittee, its efforts will be redoubled, and
for the five weeks intervening between
now and the election, lively pace will
be set for the democrats. Chairman
Matchan has prepared final instructions
for the precinct committeeman and will
see them all in the course of the next
few days. Tomorrow night he will meet
with the first ward workers at G. O. II.
hall, Fourth street and Thirteenth avenue
northeast and on Friday next he will have
a conference with the seventh ward work
ers at the ward wigwam. The, principal
purpose Of the meetings will be. to ar
range for house and neighborhood meet
ings, to which more attention than ever
before will be paid. The committee cares
more to get down among the people and
do effective work than for a brass band
and hurrah campaign.
Since the big banner was swung across
Fourth street, the republican headquar-
ters have become the most prominent
thing in town. The banner, in bright
colors which catch the attention blocks
away, bears the portraits Of Governor Van
SAINT, Ray w. Jones, Loren Fletcher and
Fred M. Powers. The headquarters rooms
have been tastefully decorated with the
American colors, and there is about the
apartments an atmosphere Of hustle, good
management and confidence. -.
Governor Van SAINT will be in the city
again next Friday said Mr.. Matchan
this morning, "and will undoubtedly draw
big meetings. He will speak at the G.
A. r. hall, on Twentieth avenue N and
Washington avenue, and also in the sixth
ward. Congressman Page Morris will also
speak at both places and will discuss the
issues, of the day very fully.
"For Saturday we have arranged one OF
those big country rallies like the one we
held at Corcoran last Saturday. The meet7
ing will be held at Maple Plain. Among
the speakers will be Ray w. Jones, Loren

FOSTER PULLS OUT
This Leaves Buchanan the Undis-
puted Republican Nominee
in the Sixth.
Foster Decided To-day That Little
Was to Be Gained by
a Contest.

Clarence B. Bucknan Of Little Falls is
the undisputed nominee of the republican
party for congress in the sixth district.
He has not known since the primaries
whether he was running or not, but to-
day Albert F. Foster of Litchf1eld with
drew his objections, took the sidetrack.
and signaled to Buckman a clear track
ahead.
Mr.. Foster came within thirty votes of
nomination, by the official count. and on
evidence of Irregularities threatened a
contest. A brief review of the situation
convinced him that it would not only be
expensive, but a slow process, and with
only five weeks left for both contest and
campaign, a contest looked like giving the
office to the democratic candidate. The
district is close, and rather than demoral-
ize the party Mr. Foster concluded to
stand aside. - r.. = ~ :
sx...3.. Issues Statement. . = =.
|: Mr.. Foster issued the following states
ment, this afternoon; s..S,- "a. -
'"To the republicans of. the sixth con-
gressional district: AS you all know I
was agcandidate at the primary election
for the nomination as congressman
from this district. 1t appears upon the
face Of the returns that the opposing can
diadte, Mr.. !Buekman, received thirty ma
jority. a:35. r =
Thinking that mistakes had been made,
I filed notice Of contest, but the time be-
fore election is short and a contest would
consume most If not all Of it, during which
the republican party would have no candi-
date in the field, and could make no cam
paign.: This might endanger the success
of the party 1t the election. Believ-
ing, as I do, that the welfare
Of the people and the country demand the
success Of true republican principles, and
that therefore the success of the party is
vastly more important than the success
of any man in it, and that every true
republican should be ever ready to sacri-
flee his own interests for the good of the
party, however keen the disappointment
Or great. the sacrifice and not be-
ing willing that and act of mine
should ever In any; place, in the slightest
degree endanger the success Of the

whose rank have worked so long, I glad
