Haynes lost his Smith & Wesson re-
volver on the street on Thursday.
When he reported the loss he was ask

Moffett, who lives at 1913 Thirty-ffth

NEW YORK, July 29-Rear Admiral

of eight battIeships lying in the North
river, made the startling statement to-
day that our navy is not large enough
or powerful enough to meet any first
class power in the world, let alone
combination Of powers.
The navy is only begun" said Ad-
miral Evans We should. I believe,
have navy large enough TO meet any
possible combination of powers against
US. We need q navy so large that We

Our Havy at present IS not large
enough te meet one of the frst-class
powers. That IS my personal opinion.
"Of course. ii Is for the people of this

be. It is our business to fight with what
ever navy the people give US. We will
fight whether the navy is big or little,

Not Regarded as Favorable.
Conference With Shaw.

Secretary Shaw and Speaker Cannon
had a long and private talk yesterday.
Both men are known to be opposed to
any tariff tinkering. and 1t is under
stood that their conversation had to do
largely with the Treasury deficit, and
the best methods of decreasing it.
1t is said by those close to the two
men that they favor increasing the in
ternaI revenue tax. A slight tax on cof-
fee. and an increase on beer would be
sufficient in their minds. 1t is said. to
give the Treasury all the cash 1t needs.
Speaker Cannon declined TO discuss
for publication the report from Oyster
Bay that there viii be an extra session
of Congress in November. Il know
nothing more than I see in the papers, -
he replied TO an interrogatory. He said
he preferred not to speak OF the pro-
posed canal legislation, tariff. or any
other subjects that the President might
recommend in his forthcoming message.
