Russians Discuss Return Of Vladivos-
tok Squadron to Baltic.

A cablegram from Moscow says: 1t is
learned that in st. Petersburg naval circles
the possibility of the Vladivost DIX squadron
having left the north Pacific for the Baltic
was discussed three days ago. The convic-
ton is expressed that the usefulness of the
squadron in the far east Is temp orarily
gene, and it is thought the ships can be of
greater service as an adjunct to the i'm
pressive Russian feet to be sent out later.
The question of coaling for the homeward
journey is felt to be undoubtedly difficult,
but not imDOSSible.

FOUR CORNERED FIGHT
WILLARD CANDIDATE FOR GU
BERNAToRIAL NOMINATION.
Others Are Representative Swanson, j..
Taylor Ellison and Judge
w. A. Mahon.

With the announcement of Lieutenant
Governor Joseph Willard that he is a can
didate for the democratic nomination for
governor of Virginia fight has ensued in
the democratic ranks of the old dominion
over the Office Of chief executive, which is
becoming one of the most interesting in the
history of the state.
With Mr.. Willard in the field the contest
is now a four-cornered affair, the other
candidates being Representative Claude
Swanson of the fifth congressional district
and one of the democratic leaders of the
lower branch of Congress; ]. Taylor Eli
son Of Richmond, chairman of the demo-
cratic state committee, and Judge William
H Mahon Of Farmville. During the last
campaign for the nomination Mr.. Swanson
was a candidate, but was defeated by Gov
ernor Montague. He now enters the fight
with renewed strength and with a well or
ganized following believes that his chances
for success exceed those of any Of the other
he's strong following. however. and the
fight will not be won without severe
struggle.
Backed by Regular Democracy.
Mr.. Swanson is backed by what is known
as the regular democracy of the state.
This element includes the old machine vote
Back Of this contingent is Senator Martin,
who is the old machine leader. Senator
Daniel. while interested in the contest, is
taking no part in the fight. He is friendly
to all the candidates, and holds aloof from
favoring any one in particular. In 1901 the
old machine element met with a signal de-
feat at the hands of Governor Montague
and his cohorts. The organization fought
Montague under difficulties of an excep-
tional nature Running with Montague was
Judge Henderson, candidate for Attorney
General. The combination was felicitous
one, and each man fought for the other
Both commanded great degree of strength
among the primary voters, and the result,
after a hard and unrelenting campaign, was
victory over the Swanson Martin organiza-
ton. Since that time, however, the organi-
zation has been Strengthening its weak
points, and Mr.. Swanson has already enter
ed upon an active canvass.
Since the 1901 primaries. on the other
hand, Gov. Montague has not remained idle.

influential machine of his own. Assisted in

that the Montague machine will work for

HEARD BY COMMITTEE
VIEWS OF OFFICIALS OF THE
BOARD OF TRADE.
Conference With Senators Over Import
ant Matters in the District
Appropriation Bill

President W. v. Cox, Secretary Geo. II.
Harries and Assistant Secretary VIM. M.
Shuster of the Board of Trade were before
the subcommittee of the Senate committee
on appropriations that is considering the
District bill yesterday afternoon.
The chief matters that were brought to
the attention of the subcommittee as de-
serving attention were the high-pressure
water service, need for Police Court build
Ing, separate hospital for the treatment
of tubercular diseases, a park for George
town Heights on the Montrose tract. addi-
tional provision for the fire department. ad-
ditional allowances for the public schools
and the improvement of eth street by sub
shutting asphalt for the present Belgian
block.
linger and Cockrell questioned Mr.. Cox in
regard to the attitude of the Board of Trade
on the park commissions plans.
Mr.. Cox, in reply to question, said that
the board "inaugurated the movement for
the centennial celebration in 1901, at which
the park commission plan was first de-
veloped.''
Mr.. Cox then added "snce that time the
board has not changed it's attitude in favor
of the project"
Buildings on Avenue, South Side.
He said he thought the location of pub
TIC DuiluillSS on the South sue OF feHISyl-
vania avenue should begin at once, but
he thought the purchase and building up of
the ground around Lafayette Park could
wait. He thought all the ground for use
for public buildings should be purchased at
once
Speaking of the use of a high-pressure
water service. he said, according to an esti-
mate, the available pressure could be made
equal to thirty-one engines at their highest
working power. Seven other cities he said,
have tried the system with marked success.
Mr.. Cox said the policy of the Board of
Trade is against having the Police Court in
the municipal building, and that generally
the plan to so locate the court is very I'M
popular.
General George NJ. Sternberg, chairman
of the committee on public health of the
Board of Trade, spoke in favor of building
a tuberculosis hospital on the ground pur-
chased for municipal hospital.
Separating District Expenditures.
Mr.. Cox, in reply to questions said the
board favored separating current and ex-
traordinary expenses of the District, allow
ing the latter to be paid for during series
of years. He said the board favored ad-
vances from the treasury rather than bonds
to meet these expenses.

HANDS BERGER
A WARM ROAST.
st. Louis Paper Comments
on the CalifOrnian's Plan
to Become a Professional
Special Dispatch to Tn. Call.

ST. LOUIS. Oct. 24.-The Chronicle
said to-day:
Sam Berger, the amateur heavy
weight champion, of San Francisco
who passed through st. Louis on his
way to the coast yesterday, is seriously
considering the advisability of becom-
ing professional. 1t is reported he
is arranging a match with Kid Mccoy
or philadelphia Jack O'Brien. He
says he has an offer to meet Mccoy
in San Francisco.
I'm that case, Berger better have
his measurements taken Immediately
for a coffin. Berger has as much IL
cense to join the professional heavy
weight class as Abe Attell has to meet
Jeffries. Berger is the poorest sample
of an amateur heavyweight champion
that ever entered the ring. If the
Californian decides to jump to the
pro camp and succeeds in getting on
with Mccoy or O'Brien, it would not
surprise followers of the game who
witnessed his exhibition in the recent
tournament if he also annexed the
running broad jump record about the
time the gong rang for the first
round"
