PLAN ECONOMY IN NAVY.
Vessels to Be Placed in Reserve Until
Need for Their Services
Arises.

Wasaingt0n.-Th naval general staff
proposes TIC put naval csEels in reserve
Ter the purpose Of ecoI omy. 1t has been
discovered that the est of keeping a
3attleship in commission amounts to
lore than $l,000,000 a year. and it is
realized that some provision must be
made for maintaining two classes OF
hips in reserve
During the next session of congress
AZ appropriation will probably be re-
quested for maintaining ships in or
binary under system of serviceability
that will permit use Of the vessels with
out much delay.
One class will be kept at the navy
yards under such conditions of readi-
ness for duty at sea as will permit their
departure from port within "a hours.
This can be accomplished by having the
ships in the care of few officers and men,
the engines turned over frequently and
the equipment stored in accessible
places alongside, when not actually on
board
Another class will be in less readiness
for service. probably far enough re-
moved from the condition of duty to
require a week or more to send the ves-
sci away from the yard.

 he was under the influence of liquor. It was apparent from the position of the body that after entering the shop he sat down upon a work bench and fell from there to the ground, dying in- stantly. It was known that at times he was troubled with his heart and i- was decided by a cOToner's jury that heart failure was the cause of his death, as there were TO marks of vio- fence on his person, besides he was a kindly old man whom no one would harm.

The of fcers were finally dragged into the controversy and the cartoonist was taken into custody. He paid a liberal fine yesterday. There was an even dozen of other defendants before the court.

BENNINGTON BLoWUP.
Men Injured Assert Her Boilers Have
Been Defective Six Months.

San Diego. Cal, July 24.-An exam
ination of the Bennington above deck
Saturday did not disclose any great
damage as the result of Fridays ex-
plosion. The vessel is covered with a
coating the color of ashes Escaping
steam carried gray colored mud, which
smeared everything. even the sides of
the vessel. There are broken gangways
and displaced machinery of a minor
character, but no serious damage to
the main deck is visible. 1t is explain
ed by those on board that the wreckage
is all below. but just how serious this
is will be fully determined only after
thorough examination.
Commander Young declined to make
any statement for publication. He said.
however. to a reporter that he believe /.
the disaster was caused by the explo-
sion of boiler ID. on the port side. and
that boiler y. while not exploding. had
not been damaged at all owing TO es-
Gaping steam. Commander Young ex-
pressed the opinion that there was a
weak spot in one of the boilers. but
said there was no visible defects so
far as he knew. Men who are injured
including Ensign Perry. tell a differen;
story. They say It had been the talk
OF the 81 ip for at least six months that
the boilers were defective. Many OF
them feared for n long time that Just
such an accident would happen. one
man said that year ago last Feb
ruary. while the ship was at Magda-
lena Bay. the engineer of the cruiser
New York was sent for TO inspect the
boilers. He reported that they were
In good condition. While the vessel
was at San Francisco last year talk Of
defective boilers again arose. but nc
steps were taken TO remedy them.
