as by those who have contributed.
Mrs. Judges liberal gift to the asso-
citation was in the form Of a check. Il
vas received yesterday b. Secretary
Oscar l. Cox. The committees who

ofter Of $4,000 are more than pleased
with the generosity of Mrs. Judge and
all others who have contributed to the

long IS now assured. This gift adds an
other TO the large list Of Institutions

Among the other contributors who

any definite nOtiica ton of the fact, he
has been given TO understand that

these property owners to offer the asso-
citation bonus to erect the building on
that street. II this bonus is large
enough TO make il worth while it might
be accepted If such a movement is on

SECRETARY MOODY WAS JOKING
WHEN HE TALKED IN SALT LAKE

Secretary Moody declines TO say
whether he would recommend the con-
struction OF five battieships by the next
session of congress, an inference deduced
in some quarters as a result of his speech
at Salt Lake. when he told the governor
that if the next congress treated the
navy as well as the la.,J ne would name
one of the batueships in honor of the
state of Utah nor was he prepared TO
say whether the administration had in
contemplation a general naval pro-
gramme with view to the construction
of five such ships wear
While his remarks at Salt Lake were
made in facetious way. vet there is no
doubt the secretary heartily favors the
gradual addition of ships TO the navy 50
that it may be adequate to what IN his
opinion are the needs of the nation with
in a few years. The secretary said to-
night that recruiting in the navy would
be resumed tomorrow
