Idge, Of Indiana; Nelson, of Minne-
sofa; Dillingham;, Of Vermont; Bate,
Of Tennessee, and Heitfeld, Of Idaho,
will leave Chicago tonight for Okla
homa, New Mexico and Arizona to
investigate those territories claims
to statehood The five senator's are
the members Of the senatorial sub
committee on territories and 1t Is
likely that their report will have
much weight with the upper house
Of congress. Senator Beveridge Is
the chairman Of the committee and
until he arrives the other senators
will remain idle. All Of them were
expected this morning, however,
and the first meeting will be held
probably some time this afternoon.

cussed and route that will cover

81. Louis, Nov. 1.-THE grand jury
yesterday began the investigation OF
alleged frauds committed in the cleo
ton last Tuesday. The addresses OF
the witnesses summoned indicate
that the grand jury will investigate
election day occurrences at the poll
ing place Of the Ninth precinct OF
the Fourth ward, where Marshall, q
republican, alleged that Totten, q
democratic official, placed a revolver
in Marshall's pocket and then caused
his arrest for carrying concealed
weapons, and at the polling place
where W. D. Reynolds, a republican
candidate for congress in the Twelfth
district, was given only eight votes
in the return and where the total
number of votes counted is de-
clared to be largely in excess OF tho
number of registered votes.

NEEDS OF THE navy.
Admiral Taylor Says ofieers Arc
Wanted to Man Our Ships.
IlAY VESSELS HAVE GREEN CREWS.
The Shortage Of Both Men and Omcsn DE-
clared to Have Reached Point
Dangerous to the Enciency
Of the Fleets,

Washington, Nov. 1.-THE most
crying need Of the navy, according
to the annual report of Admiral H. c.
Taylor, chief Of the bureau of navi-
CATION, is more officers to man our
warships. He declares that the
preparations now going on for the
mobilization Of the feet for the win
ter maneuvers in the West Indies has
brought the department face to face
with the critical condition due to lack
of officers, which, he says, has
reached such point as to be danger
GUS to the efficiency of the fleet. He
says that the number of officers on
our ships is less than the number on
board the ships of other navies, al
though as matter Of fact our ships
require more officers than the ships
of other navies because we are COM
PEELED to man our vessels with green
crews, having little or no knowledge
of sea life. He submits table show
ing that the present needs Of the
naval service require 1900 officers,
while the number on the navy list,
Including midshipmen after gradua-
ton is only 1923, or SIT short. This
table is based upon the lowest possi-
BILE number Of officers needed on our
battleships, II, against an average
number Of officers for similar ships
in foreign navies Of SO in England,
20 in France and 20 in Germany.
He figures that the vessels now au-
thorized by congress, but not com.
pleted, will require 49S additional
officers, to which Is to be added rs
per cent. for officers sick or on
shore duty and 100 for casualties
during the next four years, or to-
tai for the vessels now building Of
1888. This number added to the pres
ent shortage, 577, will give 1850.
The graduates from the naval acad-
emy during the next four years will
be 355, leaving total deficit July l,
1906, Of 1905, not counting officers
for auxiliaries who would be re-
quired in the event Of hostilitles.
The proposed concentration OF the
naval forces, Admiral Taylor says,
makes it desirable to have an officer
of high rank in command of each of
the great heavy fleets and he rec
ommends for these two commands
that congress authorize the creation
of two vice admirals or, as an alter
native, that it sanction the appoint
ment Of two acting vice admirals.
Much space is devoted in the re-
port Of the necessity for gunnery
training. Prizes are recommended
for excellence in gunnery exercises
and target practice. Progressive
instructions and maneuvers similar
to those which are to take place this
winter in the Caribbean are to be
made feature of the work OF the
Asiatic squadron.

Fry's majority II.

Fry's majority II.
J.. G. Koenig, Socialist, got 80
votes.
R. H. Kane made protest against
counting the vote Of Hope precinct
because the judges failed to number
each ballot and then clip off the
number, they thinking that was not
necessary under the new law. There
was no charge of fraud, simply an
illegality on the part Of the judges Of
election. Attorneys agree that there
is no ground for q contest as the law
10 very clear on the subject, reading
thus:
"In all elections for the choice OF
any officer, unless It is otherwise ex-
pressly provided, the person having
the highest number Of votes for any
Office shall be deemed to have been
elected to that Office; and whenever 1t
shall satisfactorily appear that any
person has received the highest num-
Der OF votes for any office, such per.
son shall receive the certificate OF
election, Notwithstanding the pro-
visions Of law may not have been
fully complied with in noticing and
conducting the election, SO that the
real will Of the people may not be de-
feated by any informality Of any Of
6cer."
The csnvassing board promptly
over-ruled Kane's objection and can
vsssed the vote, giving the election
to Fry.

Topeka, Kan, Nov. 1l.--Members
Of the grievance committee OF the
brotherhood OF Io,n'lotive Firemen
for the Atchis> - IA d Santa re
railroad main an. ranch lines be-
tween Chicago and Albuquerque, N.
NJ, are holding their annual business
session in Topeka. Perhaps the most
important action will be the regular
readjustment Of the wage schedule
for that part of the territory which
these men represent. When this is
made up it will be presented to the
officials and it Is likely that they will
approve it, thus placing it in force
for another year. The session will
probably last for two weeks.

FRY GETS SIX YEARS.
Now Amendment Extends Gpmmis-
sioner's Term.

The -cUurty commissioners who
were elected in the 105 counties Of
Kansas were elected for six years in
stead Of 8 heretofore. B. D. Fry chosen
in the First district Of this county
was one Of these. This will probably
be news to good many Of the COM
missioners themselves, as well as
many other people, but it is a fact.
Very little was said about the bien-
nial election amendment which was
voted on Tuesday. 1t was explained
that its purpose was to make all elec-
tions, including township elections,
come only once in two years. One Of
the things provided for in the amend
ment is that commissioners shall hold
their offices for years, one being
elected every tw cars. The amend
ment undoubted. srried by an over
whelming vote. goes into effect
Immediately without any statutory
enactments, so that the newly elected d
commissioners, who will 60 into Of.
flee next January, will hold until
January, 1909, without reelection.

stitution carried, as it undoubtedly
