nine YEAR OLD
ASSYRIAN YOUTH
Boy Lost Three Months Ago
Enroute to Wichita.
AT MARSEILLES FRANCE
He VIII Arrive Here About
October Fifth.
IT MARSEILLES FRANCE

Advice was received here yesterday af-
ternoon by the Santa Fe passenger de-
partment, saying that johanna Jarzba, a
s-year-old Assyrian youth who was lost
from his mother while en- route to Wich
ita at Bouiogne-Sur-Mer, France. aboS
three months ago, has been found at
Marselles, France. The lad has started
on his second trip TO Wichita and will
probably arrive in the city about Octo-
Der s.
The good news was quickly conveyed
TO the boys mother, who has been nearly
wild since the disappearance Of her son
three months ago. The lad was in good
health when found, but in destitute cir
cumstances, and has suffered considera-
bly, for want Of food many times since
he was lost from his mother
johanna Jaraba was one OF a party OF
seventeen Syrisns who left their native
country bound FOR wichita, about June
l. Upon the arrival Of the party at Bou-
logne-Sur-Mer France. which is the port
Of the Holland-Anerican Steamship COM
pany. and from which place the Syrians
were 10 take steamship for America on
their way 10 Wichita. the party found

port for the arrival OF the ship.
At The time Of its arrival, after the
party of syrians hal boarded the boat.
a small purchase. He became lost while
II
landing too late TO get aboard The gang
plank was being hauled in when johanna
was within sight Of the ship.
An attempt was made by the boys
friends and mother 20 get the captain Of
the boat 70 put in shore for the lad. but
he refused to DO so. At that time the
boys mother was half crazed over the
affair. and il was only with difficulty that
her friends prevented her from jumping
overheard TO her son. She continued her
journey 10 Wichita and is living at 507
West Douglas avenue.
After johanna found himself penniless
and without friends on the shore Of
France, he drifted TO many cities in
Europe. Al one time he was taken in
by a crowd of fellow Assyrians who were
~ ms Al mt So---N4 ;, anu Aa4cu very
well. Later. however, he set out for him
self and secured odd jobs at times by
which he was able 10 earn enough money
TO buy food. He had been out Of work
for some time when the steamship au-
thorities finally located him and made
preparations to star the lad on the way
20 Wichita.
Some difficulty is being experienced by
the authorities IN getting johanna into
this country alone. Each child coming to
this country from foreign land must
be accompanied by full fare ticket. AS
the lads friends here, with ". F. Ra-
zook at the head. only sent money
enough for half-rate ticket when he was
found. that is causing some difficulty in
getting the lad here.

eUNLEss wARsHIPs.

4 SIGNIFICANT FACT is brought
4 out in a recent dispatch from
Washington to the Philadelphia North
American. TT was disclosed today
says the message, that the govern
ment is building warships which, under
the present system of manufacturing
guns. cannot be supplied with the nee
essary weapons until from one to eight
years after they are completed" The
statement was contained in a report
submitted to Secretary Moody by a
board Of navy officers appointed to in
QUire into the capacity OF the Wash
ington navy yard gun shop.
There is food for thought in this for
those who have been so strongly ad-
vOcating a greater navy. The Herald
believes in a great navy, it believes
the United States should have squad
rons and fleets of fighting ships as
great or greater than those of any
other nation but we fail to see how
gunless warships can give US any pos
sible advantage. The last thing we
need is a fighting ship that cannot do
any fighting. The prestige of the Amer
lean navy was not built up after that
fashion.
The report from which we have quot
ed proposes that congress be asked az
the coming session 60 appropriate near
ly S5.5OO,OOO for the enlargement of our
gun shops If prompt action is taken
it is said that the additional equip
ment for turning out guns can be
supplied during 1906 and that the ex-
ira guns can be had by 1908. How
ever, in order to bring this about. the
greatest possible speed must be. made.
As the word speed" is hardly known
on government work. il would be safe
to say that not before 1910 would the
first guns begin coming from the new
shops.
IF the rosiest dreams Of the navy
officers come true 1t viii be q year aft
CT the completion OF some Of the ships
before they can be furnished with guns.
In case the usual delays are expert
enced it viii be from two to five years
after the ships are finished before they
viii have weapons of offense and de-
Tense. Under the circumstances
wouldn't it be a good idea to stop
building new varships until we know
they viii be warships in fact as we'll
as in name?

THE RAILROAD FRANCHISES.

THE REASONABLE attitude taken by
/ the Oregon Short Line and the Rio
Grande railroads in the matter Of the
depot and trackage franchises they are
asking from the council makes its
practically certain that both franchises
win be granted. The councils commit
tees on streets and municipal laws
passed favorably on the Short Lines
petition some time ago. Six Of the
eight members Of the committee agreed
Friday night TO a favorable report on
the Rio Grande application.
The Rio Grande petition had been
held up because Of vigorous and not
entirely unreasonable objections made
by the property owners most directly
interested in the matter. Although OBJ
jections are still made to the grant
ing of the Rio Grande franchise, the
greater part Of them have been over
come by. concessions made by the COM
pany. These concessions are certainly
fair and reasonable, and if they are
carried out to the letter it viii be
impossible for any one to be injured.
The road binds itself to erect a via
duct on Third South street and to ac-
cept a board of arbitration which viii
assess damages sustained by property
owners, and to pay the amounts 50
assessed without legal proceedings
The board is to have one representa-
tive of the company on it, one repre-
sentative of the property owners, and
a third party agreed on by the first
two. The board viii look carefully over
the property and hear arguments be-
fore arriving at decisions. In this way
the interests of all parties viii be
taken care Of.
Under these conditions the council
need not hesitate about granting the
Rio Grande's application. The i'm
provements proposed by the road, as
well as those proposed by the Oregon
Short Line. viii be Of immense benefit
to Salt Lake City. They involve the
expenditure Of not far from two mil
lion dollars. all Of which viii be turned
directly into Salt Lakes trade chan
nels. And the pay of the hundreds Of
men who bill be employed in the new
Short Line and Rio Grande shops viii
always be a considerable item in the
city's advancement and its prosperity.

HE SENSE OF HumOR.

IT PAINS THE HERALD to be
obliged to accuse anybody Of a lack
of the saving sense of humor, but that
seems to be a falling among some of
salt Lakes street car conductors and
motormen. Two Of them paid us a
cali yesterday. The spokesman had
fire i'm his eyes and spoke with every
indication Of peevishness. He didn't
like the set of humorous rules for
street railway employees published in
The Herald's Sparks on Friday This
is really too bad.
A wise old philosopher once said that
Il is never safe to joke about truth.
Of course there are no rules such as
The Herald published; that is, there
are no such written rules. But just
q few Of the suggestions are carried out
literally every day by one or more Of
the street car men and that is doubt
less the reason the young man who
called was so indignant. We are sor-
ny ne is peevish, but we insist that If
he had possessed the saving sense of
humor his serenity would not have
been ruh1ed.
While there is a great disposition on
the part of the public to criticise sharp
ly the street railway company and its
employees The Herald has never Joined
the procession. The truth is that very
few cities Of the size Of Salt Lake
have a system anything like as good
az ours. The men, as a rule, are cour-
teous and obliging. and the company
makes constant effort to please the
people. Crowds are handled here with
an expedition that astOnishes strang-
ers and accidents are remarkably few.
Last summer thousands upon thou
sands OF people were taken to and
from the salt Palace, Calder's Park,
Liberty park and the Saltair and La
COON depots. and the facilities were al
ways ample. During the summer a
good sized fortune has been spent by
the company IN the laying Of new
tracks, in the purchase Of new equip
ment and in general road betterments.
Some Of these Improvements have. in
the course Of their installation, caused
the travelling public more or less in
convenience, but the end OF that is in
sight
Finally, we beg leave to say to our
offended friends among the street rail-
way men that it is often well just to
look pleasant when things happen that
they do not like. 1T helps things along
a good deal to smile, and the first
thing you know you'u fan into the
habit Of smiling

Sixteen hundred yards is more than
1our-ffths OF mile. The target was
a frame Of white set upright on a buoy
and presenting a surface 16x21 feet
square with a black buWs-eye four
1eet in diameter. At ] 1900 yards the
pulFs-sye appears to be not more than
four inches in diameter.
Gunner Treanor hit the bulrs-eye
four times in succession in two minutes
and eighteen seconds. If he had been
firing at a hostile warship it would
surely have been sunk almost before it
could fire a shot in return. The eight
inch gun used by Treanor throws a
shell weighing about $50 pounds and
uses fifty pounds Of powder. The
rapidity with which the great weapon
was handled is as remarkable as the
accuracy of the shooting
Tn this day Of constantly increasing
range for weapons Of warfare a dis
lance of 1900 yards does not seem so
great. 1t must be remembered. though.
that the Krag- Jorgensen rifles. with
which the regular army is now
equipped. do not have an effective
range Of more than 1000 yards, and
they are the most powerful weapons
ever given to the nations soldiers. It
is wen, also. to bear in mind that rife
scores are made under the most favor
able circumstances.
Important tests are usually made on
perfectly still days. The rifle shot has
every opportunity to steady himself
and mis- weapon. He is given solid rests.
he stands absolutely motionless, and
his target is also motionless. There is
no loud report. no recon to discomfort
him, so it is not surprising that he
often makes good scores. The feat per-
formed by Treanor, though, was under
far greater difficulties. A bobbing tar
get and moving ship are not consid-
cred aids to good craftsmanship.
We are told that there are other
gunners in the navy as good as Urea
nor, and in view Of the manner in
which the Spanish ships were battered
into junk wherever the occasion offered
In 1898 it is easy to believe the report.
