conclusions reached by the naval board

Tor fuel. In some regions where oil is
plentiful as in California and Texas,
the change has been made to adVan-
tage, but as yet the position Of coal as
a generally used steam producer is not
threatened. 1t is because of the para
mount and growing Importance of the
fuel question that the problem of uti-
lzing crude petroleum for naval pur-
poses is now uppermOst in the minds of
naval strategsts and administrators.
AS the Texas and Louisiana oil fields
are contiguous to the strategic w/ters
of the Gulf of Mexico, the Pennsylvania

and Baltimore and the California pro-
duction in pipe connection with San
Francisco, the oil production of the
United States gives promise of being
utilized to a greater military advantage
than can be the product of any other
nation in time of war.
The liquid fuel question means more
to the United States than to any other
country. Because more oil is produced
than by any other sea power and be-
cause this oil is found nearer the great
maritime distrib1 ting ports, it's cheap
err development for all purposes can be
utilized best in America. The keynote
of American military strength on the
UPacific may be due to the fact that an
Immense reserve of California oil may
be stored in the Hawaiian nd Aleutian
Islands, as we'll as in the Philippines.

FULL INQUIRY ORDERED.
Until the Report on the Knight Com
mander is in, No Action Will be
Taken.
lBx the Associated Press.A

London, July 25.-7:1O p. m.-The
Foreign Office has received news of
the sinking of the British steamer
Knight Commander and has instructed
the British consul at Yokohoma to
make a full investigation of the case
and report at once to Downing Street.
Until this report is received no action
will be taken. The Foreign Office re-
grets the incident as coming at an
unfortunate time in connection with
the public opinion here, but the Off
cials refrain from all comment pend
ing receipt of details.
There is practically no excitement
here over the sinking of the Knight
Commander, the Russian action hav-
ing been taken by regular warship
and within the zone of hostilities The
bitter criticism evoked over the action
of the vessels of the Russian Volun-
teer fleet and the passage of the Dar-
danelleS is more or less diSarmed
The Foreign Office for the moment
takes it as merely another strong ar
gument in favor of an international
conference relative to contraband.

Justice Barbee yesterday held that

attempting to criminally assault the

Drake, there was not sufficient cause
to hold him for trial.

jurisdiction, and announced that as a
jury trial was asked jury would be
drawn, the trial to take place on
Wednesday evening at o'clock.
The charge against Hill, as told un-
der oath and not denied by the de-
fendant, is that in the absence of the
girls mother he went to her home,

son, the girl repelling him. The find

Avellan, chief of the admiralty de-
partment, and other high naval Off
GERS attended.
The result of the conference re-
noes all doubts concerning the pres
ent attitude of Russia with regard to
the volunteer fleet. The validity of
the view expressed in the British note
regarding the irregularity of the po-
sition of the vessels was so far ad-
mitted that the council agreed to
waive the right of search.
After a long discussion in which
Count Lamsdorff took a leading part
it was decided that the present status
of the volunteer fleet was not suffl-
ciently we'll defined according to in
ternational law to render further
searches and seizures advisable, and
that therefore Russia. in the interests
of friendly relations with the Powers,
should withdraw the authority given
the volunteer fleet in this respect.
Orders were sent to the volunteer
fleet steamers st. Petersburg and
Smolensk to refrain from interference
with foreign shipping.
1t is expected these steamers
eventually will join the Baltic fleet
and be replaced with ordinary ships.

$4,000 from the First National Bank
of Asheville, while its president was
turned over to District Attorney Hol-
ton for cross-examination today at
noon. Mr.. Holton subjected the de-
fendant to a rigorous examination.
When asked concerning several of the
transactions concerning his indebted

that he did not remember.

enclosing notes to the amount of 81
$685., in which it was stated the
makers were good, the witness said
the statement was true at the time.
Other transactions were also taken
up in detail and explained.
During his connection with the
bank, the witness said the total
amount of his income was $4,000. 1t
was understood and agreed that mon
ey he deposited in the bank should
be subject to check. At this juncture,
Judre Keller remarked. "You mean
to say that you had an agreement
with your board of directors whereby
no money you deposited was to 80 to
reducing your Indebtedness"
"No, not exactly that far" replied
the witness, "but we had to live"
The district attorney attempted to
draw from the witness an admission
that the bank was insolvent by reason
of the fact that the combined over
draft of the president and cashier
were in excess of the capital stock,
but Breese contended that the bank
was solvent and perfectly able to meet
all obligations.
When Mr.. Holton asked why certain
notes We're good the witness replied
Because I was behind them"
Didn't you testify that the failure
of the bank left you without q dol
lar?" asked the district attorney.
ST did, replied the witness.
"Then you were no better than Mr..
Kemp or any of the others who signed
these notes?' (Kemp was the colored
carriage driver whose signature was
attached to several notes).
The district attorney had hardly
concluded his remark before the five
attorneys for Breese were on their
feet protesting against the manner of
the cross-examination of the district
attorney. The court stated that such
questions were out of order.
