MOODY WILL HURRY UP
WORK ON BATTLESHIPS

WASHINGTON. Oct. 4-Secretary Of
the Navy Moody is considering the advis-
ability OF taking drastic measures to COM
pei some Of the firms building warships to
hurry the work along so as TO complete
the ships on contract time.
Rear Admiral Bowles. Chief Construc-
tor of the Navy. has recommended to the
secretary that certain firms which are now
working out contracts should be admon-
ished that the ships they are building
should be finished on time. II they are not
ready with the ships or a reasonable ex-
cuse the plan IL to have the government
step In and finish the work In navy yards
There is a complaint In the navy that
constructors are IN the habit of letting
the government work drag along and to
rush work for private firms. This must be
stopped. it is asserted and at once. There
are so many innovations in warships now
that unless a ship Is delivered on time she
will get to be a back number before she is
accepted by the government. Then again
the innovations are in many cases expert
ments and II is necessary that the vessels
should be tried out and see II the improve
ments are worth OF being put in other
ships.

TROOPS ARE ORDERED OUT
IN GLEN FALLS, NEW YORK

GLENS FALLS. N. Y. Oct. 4.-The busi-
ness section of this city was completely
in the hands Of a mob tonight as an in
cident of the strike on the lines Of Hud-
son Valley Railway company. Cars have
been operated for the past few days by
non-union men without molestation by the
strikers, but tonight rally and mass
meeting Of the union was called and prior
to the gathering three thousand OF the
strikers paraded the streets.
When the strikers reached Warren street
they met a trolley car and at once cap
tured II, taking complete possession. the
next four cars met on the street were won
over in the same manner. The conductors
and motormen were pelted with stones and
several were so seriously hurt as to make
1t necessary to take them to the hospital.
Three of the conductors and motormen
who were not bodily harmed were spirited
away.
The police who were brought out on
hurry call succeeded in rescuing three Of
the motormen and placed them in Jail for
safety sake. At late hour tonight the
mob Is almost uncomfortable. The whole
police force of the city is out trying to
keep order but 1t Is greatly feared that the
cars and other property of the company
will be destroyed before the night is over
The police are practically powerless in the
face of the mobs of strikers. The name
of one of the non-union motormen who was
bodily injured is currier of Brooklyn, form
erly an emplyee of the Brooklyn Rapid
Transit company. His condition is criti-
cal.
Sheriff Dill has been summoned to Glens
Falls and said over the long distance tele-
phone that he would again have company
X, of the second regiment n. G. n. y.
called out The troops were dismissed last
Thursday when it was thought that the
situation had reached the point where the
militia was no longer necessary to main
tain order. Troops were later called out
and dispersed the mob.

YOUNG TELLSWHERE
GUARANTY BEATS
THE GERMAN
MIXTURE OF RACES IN AMERICA
GIVES SUPERIOR VIGoR
AND INTELLIGENCE
IN SOLDIERS.

LONDON, Oct. 4-Major General Sam
ueI B. Young. U. S. A., who has arrived
at the Carlton after witnessing the Ger
man army manoeuvres, believes that sew
eral features he noticed could be applied
with profit to the United States army.
He confirmed General Corbin's statement
with regard to the superiority of German
cavalry horses, the good effect of military
training upon the people at large and
their staff organization.
He said in addition:
You know. we have a school at Leaven-
worth for the training of sJaff officers,
but we hope much from the staff organi-
cation bill now before congress.
81 think good feature Of the German
regulations is that no officer shall marry
until he has attained the rank of captain
or shown that he has sufficient means,
besides his pay, to properly support
wife Nothing takes the spirit out of a
man so much as getting into debt. OF
course, our regulations insist that an Of
fcer shall pay his bills promptly, but a
lieutenant who has to support wife on
his pay has difficult lot.
Then, I think the longer training OF
German soldiers is an advantage. The
fact that they are trained at their drills
with their equipment on their backs seems
a good thing. Each man carries about 60
mile march / saw them going along at
what seemed to me a very fast pace.
II was with the emperor when he led
that cavalry charge on the last day and
the way those horses charged over plow-
ed ground. after going twenty miles or
more, was wonderful. Our horses have
not their staying power.
How do you think the German army
compares with ours?" was asked.
81 cannot answer that question official
ly," said the general, but as an Ameri-
can, don't think any army could match
ours. There is a vast difference between
the German officer and the German pri-
vate. The mixture of races in our coun-
try gives us men in our ranks with vigor
and intelligence that equalled in the ranks
of no other army in the world. Then. too,
our men have a ck2~ce, by studying, to
rise to commissions. which do not think
possible in Germany"

IF COAL FAMINE EXISTS
Rl0TING is PREDICTED

NEW YORK. Oct 4-Ofcials of the
city who are familiar with the conditions
in the crowded districts and students of
these sections predict that Y something
IS not done and the price OF coal reduced
before the biting cold OF winter sets in
that New York viii witness rioting this
winter such as has not been known since
the disturbances OF the civil war period.
When coal is five dollars a ton to the
ordinary housekeeper who is able TO buy
by the ton. the jewellers I'm the densely
packed sections where coal is sold by
the pail pay about ten dollars. Now that
coal is in the neighborhood OF SOS a ton
Il means that $50 a ton must be paid
by those who purchase In small quantity.
II does not take a very wise person to
figure out that person not earning over
six dollars a week and a family to sup
port viii suffer from lack Of fuel That
this will lead TO rioting is almost GER
tain-for suffering and disease will make
their condition almost intolerable.

The Incarceration OF the convicted man
seemed TO be imminent when two OF his
attorneys. Judge Henry S. Priest and
Morton Joruan, signed his appeal bond
for $4,000. securing his release until the
term OF court commencing Monday. Ear
ly in this term Snyder will be sentenced
and motions for appeal and a new trial

SETTLERS ARE ANXIOUS
ABOUT APACHE INDIANS

PHOENIX. ARK. Oct. 4-For some time
past settlers on the abandoned Fort Nc
Dowen military reservation have been IN
easy regarding the conduct OF the Apache
Indians. who have left the Indian reserva-
ton a few at a time. for months and have
been rendezvousing in that vicinity.
The Indians are peaceful and claim they
were formerly promised the military res

or other visible means OF support save
basket weaving. They are short OF pro-
visions and forage on farms OF settlers and
when taken to task are abusive and
threatening.
Settlers fear that some one In anger on
one side or the other may commit an overt
act, ending in an uprising and they are
arrning themselves and have arranged
sIgnls for assembling at once in case OF
emergency. The matter has been brought

BRITISH SOCIETY.
IS RUINED BY
GAMBLING
BRIDGE WHIST is YET A CRAZE IN
ENGLAND AND HOUSE PAR
TIES ARE ARRANG-
ED FOR IT.

LONDON. Oct. Notwithstanding all
the talk about the bridge whist craze
being on the wane. and that II would not
last through another season, ma II Is
played as much as ever. also hear many
complaints of the manner in which II Is
spoiling country house parties, making
quite dull many parties which used to be
gay and full Of variety, for, OF course. II
is not everybody who cares for the game
or for gambling.
1 have just been told the story Of rath-
er curious incident at a very big party
this week. It is about young man-not
a very rich one as wealth goes in the
social world but q young man belonging
to one of the first .aristicratic families OF
England He was invited this week to
very great house indeed, where thou
sand dollars or two is often lost ana
won at a weeks bridge playing.
This young man couldn't afford to play
for such high stakes as the rest OF the
party were playing for, and, much TO MS
chagrin. found himself absolutely ignored
by his hostess during the remainder OF
his visit She did not even trouble her
self to say good morning to him and
took no further notice Of him at all after
his refusing to play bridge. 1t IS very
we'll known that certain people are asked
to various houses only because they are
known to be bridge players with plenty OF
money to lose. They are never supposed
to win. When they do they are not al
ways paid
At the conference OF the church Of Ire
land. the other day, the Dean OF Hereford.
who read paper on gambling, had some
hard words to say on the bridge craze.
Twenty thousand pounds (S1000O0) he said
had been known TO change hands in bets
on the football field; betting among boys
was increasing; spectators in the city OF
London playing cards for ruinous stakes.
He also condemned lotteries severely. But
the latest craze, bridge. had been respon-
sible for more ruination, he thought. than
anything else during the short time Il
had been fashionable. He didn't mean
altogether financial. but also physical
ruin. the game OF bridge being apparently
so fascinating that ladies were playing IL
nearly all day and through the night and
we'll into the morning
Even Sunday gambling was now quite
common.

Two Americans were wounded.
Tuesday the Moros retired to their larg-
est and strongest fort on the lake shore.

During the forenoon the sultan OF Cabu-
galan led a sortie at the head of band
of fanatics. They crept through the grass.
and sprang up and attacked the Amert-
cans.
The sultan was wounded six times and
boloed an American before he died. His
followers were killed.
In the darkness Wednesday night Cap

feat of the Moros viii be great. General
