Gen. Greedy Makes His Report Upon
His Corps Work.
washington, Nov. 1S.-Gen. A. w.
Greedy. chief signal officer of the
United States army, in his annual re-
port gives an interesting account Of
the work performed by his corps in
establishing an all-American tele-
graphic system In Alaska, saying the
undertaking is unique in the annals
OF telegraphic engineering. The cables
used in the Alaskan system would
reach from Newfoundland to Ireland
and the land lines from Washington
TO Texas. there being 2.o7s miles Of
cable and l.4S9 miles. OF land lines and
lo7 miles Of wireless ..aes.

Gen. Greedy says that after thorough
consideration he decided to install ma
teriai of American manufacture to be
operated by American soldiers and to
be laid by American ships, except
some cable instruments and machin-
cry. A selected force of men has been
so trained that to-day the signal corps
of the army is competent to operate
in war emergencies a submarine cable
of any length,
Repairs in Alaska are maintained"
the report says. "by parties stationed
at log cabins about forty miles apart.
one signal corps repairInan with two
assistants from the line of the army
and a dog team being at each cabin.
The men meet the terrible condition of
hardship and privation accomplishing
ly and with fortitude worthy of the
American soldier"
The report says the Nome wireless
station has daily and uninterruptedly
transmitted the entire telegFanhic bust
ness of the seaward peninsula, 5000
words being exchanged in one after
noon between Safety harbor and st.
Michael. The signal corps of the army
Gen. Greedy says Is now regularly
operating the longest wireless section
of any commercial telegraph system
in the world.
Speaking of the Philippines, he says
the sixteen most important islands of
the archipelago are now connected by
cable, which lines, are recognized as
Indispensable both by the military and
civil authorities. During the year
there was collected and deposited in
the insular treasury of the Philippines
telegraph line receipts to the amount of
$oS,6f5, there having been sent includ-
ing government business all told, more
than 100000 messages, the net ex-
pense being 1925, 901.
1t is strongly urged in the report that
steps be taken by the United States
to adhere to the international tele-
graph union and that International
regulations to govern wireless tele-
graphy in time of war be adopted.

FORT SCREVEN TEAM WAS
DEFEATED BY THE JAYS
IL to 0 Was the Score That Was Made Upon the
Jacksonville Gridiron.

Jacksonville. Fla, Nov. 1s.-Fort
Screven failed to score against Jack
sonville this afternoon in one of the
hardest fought contests seen here on
the gridiron this season.
The artillerists were strong, but they
appeared to lack a knowledge of the
fine points Of the game. They were
good in their center rushes and worked
wen n a scrinmage, but were not fast
and their defensive work, with the ex-
eeptlon OF their center, was defective.

OFFICERS ARE NEEDED
FOR ORDNANCE DUTY.
Naval Gun Factory at Washington
Is Overtaxed.

Naval Gun Factory at Washington
Is Overtaxed.
Washington, Nov. l3.--Laek Of Of
ficers for ordnance duty and the over
taxing of the naval gun factory at
Washington continue to be the most
serious problems facing the Bureau of
Ordnance, according to the annual re-
port of Rear Admiral Newton p. Ma
son, chief of ordnance, just approved
by Secretary Morton. The report says
a plan for reorganization of the work
of the bureau will be submitted later
with a view to Increasing the supply
of ordnance experts, OF the rush OF
work at the naval gun factory Admiral
Mason says:
"The naval gun factory has been
running night and day at full capacity
and although good progress has been
made, the congested condition of all
work there gives assurance that its
capacity is being overtaxed and must,
unless this capacity is materially in
creased, eventually result in failure to
supply the ordnance outfits of ships in
time to meet the demands of the con-
tractors"
A vast amount of work has also
been done by the gun factory in alte-
rations and repairs to ordnance mate
rial Estimates for the Improvement
of the gun factory and increase of the
plant are renewed.
Smokeless powder has received con-
siderable attention by the bureau in
the last year. The report says the
normal output of private powder fac
tories and Of the government factories
at Indian Head and Newport is not
greater than is required to meet the
demands of the service target practice
and fill the outfits of the newly come
missioned ships.
The delivery of armor during the
year and the manufacture of arInor
has progressed in a satisfactory man
ner. There have been recently some
delays to ship contractors caused by
the nen-delivery of armor, but the
opinion is expressed that this was due
not to helated arnor delivery, but to
unusually rapid ship construction. TO
obviate the recurrence of this, a re-
assignment of armor contracts has
been made by the bureau During the
year l,S4S.S0 tons Of armor have been
delivered.
Projectiles have recently caused
the bureau difficulty, some of them
failing to meet the severe ballistio
tests required,
Experiments recently have been
made to develop a special design of
telephone for use I'm communicating
throughout the ship while in action.

the wagon. Driver Waller was badly
hurt, though not seriously. The horse
escaped with but slight injury.
This is the third accident that has
happened to the fire department with
in the past few weeks, The first oc-
Cured when the horses broke loose
from their chains one night at the
tap of the fire bell and made their
escape, not being found until next
morning. The second occurred few
days ago. Driver William
Malphus was exercising the
horse used by company No.
e. when the animal suddenly leaped
out Of the road, causing Malphus TO
Jump from the wagon. Being unable
to free himself from the lines as cas-
lily as he had gotten from the seat,
the horse dragged him on, throwing
him against the pavement and bruis-
ing him up considerably. When pick
ed up he was unconscious, but at the
present time he is getting along as well
as could be expected.
The fire at the sanltarium this MORN
ing was extinguished with but little
difficulty, and the damage was slight.

For the next four years the Demo-
cratic creed must remain what the
st. Louis convention of 1904 made Il,
and the machinery of the party must
remain In the hands of the men who

the eloquepce with which Mr.. Bryan

convention, spoke Of him as the Moses

as his own ideals and proclaimed the

vention as when he made his whlrlwind
trip through Indiana. II the action
at the convention bound him then, II
binds him now. The election did not
release him. He can only be releas-
ed by another national convention and
that national convention will not meet
till 1908. Therefore, when Mr.. Bryan
cuts loose from a platform which he

In behalf OF Judge Parker, he takes a
position which Is that Of Bryan. the
