FOR THE WILLING
FREE EMPLOYMENT BUREAU
WILL AID ANY ONE WHO IS OUT
OF A JOB. ~,

The state free employment bureau
will be opened in the old municipal
courtroom in the city hall Thursday
morning. Labor Commissioner w. H..
Williams. who fathered the idea in
Minnesota, and secured the passage
thru the Legislature of the creative bill,
will follow the experiment closely, as
he is deeply interested in its success.
Deputy Commissioner Louis Levy will
be in charge. ~
The free employment bureau has been
successfully established and main
tanned in other states, and Commission
er Williams has not startetd the sys-
TEN here without studying the opera
tion of the plan in other states. The
bureau will aim to secure employment
ability. Not only " viii iaborers be
cared for, but more expert help will be
assisted whenever possible. The bu-
reau will be conducted by the state
and there will be no expense to the
applicants.
It is hoped that much good will re-
suit and that the number of unem-
ployed will be greatly lessened. 1t is
asserted that many able men are often
idle because they do not know how
to 90 to work. to secure employment
Good help is scarce and employers are
constantly looking for good men.
Whenever an opportunity presents it
self for bringing good man and an
employer together it will be done.
The public affairs committee of the
Commercial club is interested in the
matter and has already given consid-
cradle assistance to the commission.
1t will also assist in interesting large
employers Of labor Of every sort.

LOVING CUP FOR TOGO
Japs in New York Will Send Gift to

New York, May 3o.--A gift, prob

cided on at meeting Of the admiral s
countrymen, held in connection with
the plan for a big celebration of the
sea victory, to take place some night
this week. Carnegie hall probably will
be chosen for the meeting.
A minor celebration will be held
Thursday evening at the Japanese club
house in Eighty-ffth street, when a re-
ception will be rendered to Baron Ka-
neko and X. Takahashi. The latter,
who foated the recent government loan,
will leave soon for Japan. =,
Business among the Japanese com;
mercial houses is almost suspended
while the victory Of Togo is celebrated.

Takahashi, cit is likely another large
loan will be foated to take up the pres
ent loans at cheaper rate of interest
The first loans were made on a 6 per
cent basis, the second loan at AZ pei
cent, and I believe a cheaper rate of
interest can be had

In the first division, headed by its
fine military band, marched the TWEEN
ty-eighth infantry, U. S. A., from Fort
Smelling. With precision in accou-
trement and movement that comes only
from constant drilling, the regulars
swung down Nicollet avenue amid the
applause Of the crowd. They looked

In the fourth: division were grouped
the Modern Weodmen camps, the veter.

london, May alphabetically all
that now remains of Russia s once pow
erful navy is the. Black sea fleet, and
that is "bottled sup' by virtue Of the
treaty prohibiting the passage of war
ships thru the straits Of the Dardenelles.
Only by defying all the powers. includ-
ing probably the Turkish empire, can
Russia use the Black sea fleet in an at
tempt to continue the naval conflict
with Japan.
It is within the possibilities, tho not
at all probable, that by cajoling or.
otherwise influencing the Turk, the
Russian emperor's Black sea fleet may
effect or force the passage of the Oar
denelles, but a move Of that sort would
inevitably bring the emerging Musco-
wife warships into a clash with the pow
erful and vigilant Mediterranean squad
ron Of England, and probably kindle the
spark that would start world war;
The list of the fighting ships in the
Black sea fleet, which is practically all
that remains Of Russia IS naval strength,

leave Vladivostok and arrive near the

YERKES AS PROBABLE
SUCCESSOR OF MORTON
New York Sun Special Service.

New York Sun Special Service.
Washington, May 30.-John W.
Yerkes, commissioner Of internal reve-
nue., is being mentioned as the possible
successor to Secretary Morton of the
navy. His prominence in politics and
also the fact that he is from Kentucky
are reasons given why he would be like
ly to meet the requirements for entering
the presidents official family.
The welcome accorded the president
in the south and southwest during his
recent trip was most cordial Espe
cially was this welcome spirit shown in
Kentucky. 1t is therefore believed
that the president will give the south
recognition and Mr.. Yerkes is picked
as the most likely man to be chosen.
Mr.. Morton's retirement is expected

would have favored Japanese night
attack by torpedo boats would also
have favored the Russians, and it is
to believe, they say, that
the little Russian boats would not in
fict some damage at least while their
own big ships were being blown up by
Japanese torpedoes.
Battleship's Prestige.
Secretary Morton is convinced that
the prestige Of the battleship has not
suffered. In that belief, which is ex-
pressed in his statement, he voices the
opinion Of the president and some of the
ablest strategists in the navy. Unless
the full reports cause a decided change
in the present understanding OF the
manner in which the battle was fought,
there will be<no change in the policy of
building up an American navy COM

Dewey on the Battle.
Admiral Dewey expressed the belief
that Admiral Togo has struck a power,
ful blow for peace, which he declared
SIT is the beginning Of the end, /" he
said, "and | can see no other outcome
than that Russia will sue for peace.
the Japanese achieved their victory by
hurting torpedoboats against the Rus
slams. 1t is not to be supposed, how
ever, that the Russian battleships would
surrender to the torpedoboats alone.
Admiral Togo's training, and the
preparedness turnout his feet. | am
convinced, is responsible for his stu
pendous victory. IF some Of the Rus
sian ships escaped, we still have the
record, for our victories at Manila and
Santiago were complete in that all the
ships of the enemy were either de-
stroyed or taken.
1T takes a long time to build a
fleet, and I cannot see how Russia is
now in a position to continue her cam
paign by sea. Japan, with the addi-
tional battleships captured by her, and
with the Russian ships sunk at Port
Arthur, which she will doubtless be
able to restore to usefulness, now ap-
pears to have the preponderating sea
power. -
