WHAT WILL BE RECOMMENDED.
Result of Secretary Moody's Trip to
the West Indies.

Special Correspondence Of The Evening Star.
SAN JUAN, P. R., April IA, 1908.
From inside and authentic sources in
naval circles it is learned that the recon-
mendations of Secretary of the Navy
Moody, the result of his personal inspec-
ton of the proposed sites for the West In
dian naval station for the United States
will be:
First. That the principal naval base be
established at Guantanamo Cuba, suffi-
cient land being purchased for the purpose.
Second. That dry dock and large ma
chine shops and greatly improved coal
docks be established at San Juan. Porto
Rico, and that the harbor Of San Juan be
improved by dredging.
Third. That docking and coaling facili-
ties be improved at Culebra. at Great Har-
Dor, and that the island be further forti-
fled Twenty-one guns are now mounted
and the work of building magazines is pro-
crossing under direction of Capt. l.. NJ
Harding.
1t is also known that none of Secretary
Moody's party was favorably impressed
with Culebra a naval station site.
If the recommendations of the Secretary
of the Navy are approved San Juan will
receive the greatest benefit that has come
to the island since American occupation.
The foregoing facts. however. are known to
but few persons in the capital.

Mrs. Johnson was supposed to have died
Thursday last, and her lodge officers and
others were at once informed, the measure
was taken for her coffin, and preparations
made for her funeral Sunday afternoon
When the physician attending her called
he declined to certify to her death, finding
that it was case of suspended animation.
She was nevertheless regarded as dead. and
the larger portion of the colored people of
this vicinity prepared to give her, a
token of their respect, a large funeral Sun

In the meantime she lay in an appar-

MAKING UP RICE STRAW.
Hats and Mating to Be Manufactured
in Texas.

'"rhe rice straw of Texas is to be util-
lied for the manufacture Of hats and mat
ting. Truly, the lone star state will soon
become a manufacturing center" said T.
B. Bergen of Austin to a Star man at the
Shoreham. 1.-The best mattings in the
world are now made in Japan, and ar
rangements have been made by progressive
capitalists to take advantage of the growth
of the production of rice in this country,
and utilize the straw, and thus save both
freight and import duties. There are also
several kinds of grass growing along the
gulf coast that can be used for making
mating of good grade; in fact, it is said
to be identical with that used for the same
purpose in Japan. There appears to be no
doubt that a paying industry will be the
result of the operations that are to be be-
gun in this line. The rice lands of Louis
lana and Texas are much cheaper than
those of the same kind in Japan, and 1t Is
the idea of the capitalists having the mat
ter in hand to have number of Japanese
Interested in the industry, so that the ben
eft of experience can be had from the be-
ginning Japanese oil men have already
invaded our oil fields, and 1t is not thought
there will be any trouble in getting them
interested in the hat and mating project"

REPORTS DO NOT AGREE
Accountants Given More Time on
Revolving Fund Matter.

Whenever the accounting experts can
corral the permanent improvement re-
volving fund they will make a report. The
aldermen want something shipshape.
Controller Joshua Rogers has one state
ment regarding the revolving fund, but it
is said that the figures of Thad S. Dickey
and Francis N. Stacy, the accountants,
differ materially from the controllers and
also from each other.
When the council committees on ac-
counts of city officers and on ways and
means met this morning to hear the re-
ports on the revolving fund, neither of the
experts was prepared to make a final re-
port altho they were able to give much
valuable and interesting information. The
committee thereupon gave extension
until June II, when it will meet again.
1t has been ascertained that in 1887, the
first year that the revolving fund bonds
were sold, there was paid to the city. in
special improvement assessments about
$350,000 from taxes levied in 1885. II
any part Of the improvements made in
1886 were paid for out Of the taxes col
1ected In 1887, then there is an additional
shortage Of that amount against the re-
volving fund. Until it can be established
that such was the case, the experts will
not say that the shortage is greater than
what has previously been intimated.

CALL OUT WIRE MEN.
Labor Leaders Say That Phone
Strike Will Spread Unless
Arbitrated.
The T. G. Company Accuses Striking
Girls and sympathizers Of
Unseemly Conduct.

Secretary Phil Carlin, OF the Building
Trades council, said this morning that I'M
less the Twin City Telephone company
would arbitrate its differences with the
striking "hello' girls, sympathetic
strike of the Electrical Workers and
Wiremen's unions and allied trades might
be expected. He made this statement
after being informed that General Super
intendent Judson OF the Twin City COM
pany had declared that he could not argue
the matter with the general labor commit
tee authorized by the strikers to wait upon
the company officials. AS chairman of
the grievance committee, which will un-
dertake to adjust the differences, Mr.. Car
lin tried to communicate with Mr.. JUDI
son with the idea of arranging meeting.
but was unable to do so. Mr.. Carlin said
that he would call a meeting of the COM
mittee this afternoon and would deal
directly with the president and leading
stockholders, of the company.
ANY refusal OF the company to meet a
committee from the Trades and Labor
council" said Mr. Carlin, will be con-
strued as a declaration against organized
labor. The girls have organized an oper-
ators' union and as such they are entitled
to our hearty support. Their grievance
is our grievance and, If necessary, we will
call out the allied trades in their defense.
The manager of the company has been OPP
posed to organized labor ever since he was
defeated for mayor. The attempt Of the
company to prevent organization by dis
charging four girls was what caused the
strike. The girls have the public back OF
them and are bound to win
Strikers Out to Stay.
General Superintendent Judson said this
afternoon that in view of the demonstra-
ton at the north branch, Washington and
Twentieth avenues north, last evening, the
company had decided not to renstate the
strikers under any circumstances. The
girls deny that they took any part in the
disturbance. They say that the gathering
which hooted and jeered the ne wgirls as
they left the branch was made up en-
tirely of sympathizers, but that no at
tempt was made at violence. Patrolmer
were called to the scene, and Mr.. Judsor
says the officers had to club their way
thru the crowd to make way tor the new
girls. This is denied by the strikers.
I Mr.. Judson said that the places of al
the strikers had been filled and that HI
was busy turning away girls anxious tt
secure employment.

the batting averages Of nearly every man
on the team have taken. The team av-
