SCOTT CALLS ATTENTION
TO BAD NAVAL BLUNDER

Seattle, Aug. IA That new fort
will have to be built at the entrance of
Puget sound because of the alleged
mistakes of United States engineers in
locating Fort Casey. is the conclusio
reached by United States Senator Ma
than B. Scott, of West Virginia, who
is in Seattle after a week 8 inspection
of the Sound forts.
Senator Scott last night expressed
himself in no uncertain terms on the
results of maneuvers at Forts Worden,
Flagler and Casey last Saturday night,
which, to his mind, proved that an
other fort must be built on the West
side of WILDLY island or an attacking
navy will be able to gain entrance past
the useless guns of the Notifications.
Senator Scott, second ON the senate
committee on military affairs, talked
freely on the subject. There's bad
mistake" he said, and then went on
to tell what he had seen.
"Your Puget Sound people think
these forts could keep out a navy,
don't they" he said. LET me tell
you something.
Tender Runs Gauntlet
might before last they were having
maneuvers at the forts. They have a
station tender, the Thomas, and she
was put in charge of a lieutenant. who
was directed to run the gauntlet of
the forts if he could. He told the
captain, evidently, what to do. They
ran that boat close to Fort Casey,
and when she was in front of that fort
she could pass right down the sound,
for neither Worden nor Flagler could
use their guns without Smelling Casey,
and Fort Casey could not get her guns
depressed enough to train them on the
boat.
"As you know. l am member of
the committee on military affairs, and
when saw this was amazed to think
of the big mistake that our engineers
have made in locating Fort Casey.
The thing to do now is to build an
other fort on the west side of the
island higher up. In fact, they are
locating an emplacement there now.
If something is not done this city and
the sound are not safe from an enc
my's fleet. The water where the
Thomas steamed was deep enough for
any cruiser or battleship."

 ''The most conspicuous and fit repre- sentative of this great and beneficent work in this State is Charles F.. Hughes.

 The immediate and necessary ef- feet of MT.

MT. Root spoke in the Majecstic theatre. The doors of the playhouse were closed shortly after o'clock so great was the crowd within that the streets were thronged therafter with persons seking admittance. A second meeting MT. Hughes also spoke there. Secre- tary Root came here direct from Washington.
 MT. Root was warmly welcomed and some one in the galleries called out, Who'll be the next President?
 There was a response of Root.
 Twice during the delivery of the speech the secretary was interrupted by persons In the audience and the great crowd in the theatre was in an uproar. One of these interruptions came when Secretary Root declared Hearst had been elected to Congress to serve the American voters and had failed to do so.

 "McKinley is dead. Why should you bring him into this?" cried a man. Again the tumult and several men started to eject the man. Secretary Root asked that he br left alone whereupon the man voluntarily left the place.

Chorus Girls Homeless.

There is no doubt that many of ths chorus girls in the company which played Tt Happened in Nordland" here last night were glad to leave Selma this morning. Upon their ar rival. in Montgomery this morning more than likely they sought a bed immediately and spent the rest of the day in it and rested up after a day here with the crowd which attended the Fair.
 Many of the company yesterday could not find room here. They hunted about the city as soon as they reached here from Birmingham but were not successful in getting loca- ted. The more fortunate members of the company who did secure rooms have doubtless better opinion of the city.
