At yesterdays session of the county
court the proposal for the construc-

brought up. The matter was refer
red to District Attorney Allen for the
purpose of determining whether or not
the building of joint city and county
headquarters would be legal, This ac-
tlon on the part of the county court
does not necessarily mean that the
building will lie erected, but the mem
bcrs wish to be sure of their position
before taking any action. The pro-
posal for the construction of this build
ing caused much discussion some weeks
ago and the court will be guided In its
future action by the wish of the major
ity of the taxpayers of the county Mr.,
Aliens report on the legality of the
matter will probably not be received
by the court until next term. The
impression prevails that the joint
building can legally be constructed.

ton will be allowed to become part CT
the present fourth class, which began

LIEUT.. A. CT OWEN

No Court Martial Has Yet Been Or

Officer

Junior Lieut.. Alfred Crosby Owen, OF
the navy, who recently became involved
in difficulties with the naval authorities
over alleged irregular financial transac-
tions and overstaying his leave, was yes
terday ordered detached from the bat
tleship Massachusetts and assigned to
the receiving ship Columbia at the
Brooklyn Navy Yard.
The Judge Advocate General of the
Navy is engaged in preparing charges
and specifications against Lieutenant
Owen, but a court-marital has not yet
been ordered. The Navy Department de-
clines to furnish any information as to
the status of the case. Several persons
wrote to the department. accusing Lieu
tenant Owen of having passed or of at
tempting to pass worthless bank checks.
and of not having paid his debts. Can
tain Manney, of the Massachusetts. was
directed TO make an investigation. and
1t is said that the Navy Department does
not regard as satisfactory the explana-
tion submitted to him by the accused
officer.

Tennessee Senate Contest.

Walter Cain, formerly polltlcai VIII

Tennessee for governor. SAID MT. GAIN
last evening, but 1t is not exciting as
much interest as the campaign OF 1885,
The people are too busy enjoying the
general prosperity of the country TO pay
attention to politics.
I'VE are going to elect Frazier gov
ernor by the largest Democratic major
ity given candidate in years. Tennes-
see, you know, is reliable Democratic
State, and therefore we never get worked
up over politics, except at primary
election"
Speaking of the Senatorial fight, Mr..
Cain said: There Is hardly doubt
about Senator Bate being his own sue
cessor. Governor McMillin has an
nounced himself candidate, but he will
not. in my opinion, make 1t.
The governor has given the State a
most excellent administration, and he
stands we'll before the people. His rec
ord is of the best, and if ex-Gov. Bob
Taylor would keep hands off he might
win. But Taylor will use his influence
for Senator Bate. The ex-governor
wants to come to the Senate. but not
just now. When he gets ready the Leg
islature will elect him.

PORTO R|CAN FORCES
TO BE REDUCED
May Be Attached Later to
Regular Army.

1t is probable that Secretary Root will
recommen.. to Congress that the Porto
Rican provisional regiment of infantry
be made part OF the Regular Army of the
United States.
general order is now being prepared
at the War Department providing that
the strength Of the Porto Rican regi-
ment be reduced simultaneously with
the reduction of the regular forces. The
order will direct that the organization
consist of eight companies OF sixty-five
men each.
Under existing law the Porto Rican
regiment is not an actual part of the
Regular Army, although it is command
ed by a commissioned officer If the
Regular Army. The other officers,
some Of whom are native Porto Ricans.
hold provisional commissions.
1t Is believed that a recommendation
will be made to Congress making the
regiment a part of the permanent regu-
lar forces and giving the officers perma-
nent commissions.

once fooled by tariff commission and
they won't be fooled the second time.
Congress never paid the slightest atten-

Today the Californian directs your
attention to the fact that while the At
lantic. Gulf. and interior ports had an
export loss of s13O,613,4s1 in 1909, the
Pacific ports had an export gain of ST.
9S1 ,301.
The Californian also refers to the
bank clearance gain in San Francisco
in 1901. gain of $40. .966, ,545.3O over
1900. He grows eloquent when he talks
