NAv|ES OF EUROPE TO SHED
$3O0,O00,00O WORTH OF JUNK.
Great Britain, Germany and France
Have 249 Obsolete Warshaps-
Fighting Material Soon Gets
Worthless.

LONDON, May 3.-Anybody who
wants a warship can have one
cheap by applying to the navy de-
partments in London, Paris and
Berlin. European experts have de-
diced that there are 249 war YES
sells on the active lists of England,
France and Germany that are use
less and would be a menace only to
their own countries in war time.
These obsolete vessels are to be
discarded gradually, and no longer
are they to be tatken into consid-
GRAFTON in reckoning effective sea
strength.
The warships cost $500, 100000 to
build and have eaten up another
hundred million in maintenance and
repairs. They are now worth only
what they would bring as junk.
Great Britain some time ago be.
gan to discard her useless war
ships, getting rid of $50 at one
swoop. She still has, however, 80
useless vessels; France has "a, and
Germany has SC.
All the battleships and armored
cruisers in the list have been ruled
out of future naval games, because
of their age and general condition
OF decrepitude. The coast defense
boats are obsolete, and the pro.
tected and unprotected cruisers are
useless because of light caliber
guns and thin armor.
The armored vessels leave little
regret behind, because they have
lived life OF usefulness. but the
unarmored cruisers are now seen
to have been an entirely worthless
investment. They correspond to
such vessels in the American navy
as Olympia, Minneapolis, Cleve-
land and Cincinnati. They are not
fast enough to run away from
modern protected cruiser, nor
strong enough to fight. There are
169 of these ships to go to the
morgue in the three European
countries, and no more of their

over the mysterious disappearance Of
pretty Geraldine Earns, the 2-year.
old baby of Mr.. and Mrs. II. A
Earns, living in a small house in that
part of the city.
The baby, a pronounced blonde
was last seen at her home shortly af-
ter 10 O'Clock yesterday morning, and
has not been heard of or seen since
The entire neighborhood joined with
the distracted mother and father in
the search for the missing child yes
terday and last night, but to a late
hour this morning, the search had
proved Intellectual. The woods south
east of the city were gone over care
fully, the parents thinking that per
haps the little one had wandered
into them and had lain down to sleep
after eXhausting herself by walking
A creek in the neighborhood was also
dragged for the distance of half a
mile. When several long hours of
searching had ended only in disap.
pointment. Mr.. and Mrs. Earns
agreed that the child must have been
kidnapped and apprised the police of

lookout and neigboring tewns will be
notified to keep watch for any travel
ers who may come through
The baby was dressed in a light
blue calico dresss, wore a dark sack
coat which was trimmed with red
ribbon. She has just began to walk
and talk, and it appears impossible
for her to have wandered any con-
siderable distance.

various kinds of work in the city.
He is a young man and has only
been married a few years, Geraldine

Tribes by the declaration that they
are unworthy and unequal to rank
with other men; that they occupy a
lower grade. The more intelligent
men are, the more keenly they feel
this, and the most intelligent men in
the Indian Territory will not humili-
ate themselves by asking permission
from the clerks of the interior depart
ment to exercise their rights as free
men and as citizens Of the United
States. The whole original purpose
Of congress was to develop the In
dian, but the interior department has
gradually induced legislation to nulli-
fy this benevolent object.
These restrictions retard the devel-
opment of the new state by prevent
ing hundreds of thousands of men
who are now tenant from becoming
home owners. They prevent the best
effort in the development Of the land
itself for no man as tenant will
plant an orchard or vineyard, or
give his time to the full improvement
Of the property as he would if it were
his own and to be lis permanent
home.
These vexatious rules and regula-
tions have repelled thousands Of men
who would have been glad to develop
oil and mineral throughout the sec
ton. eW know they have been driv.
en- away, and thereby the property
of the Indians decreased in value and
the development Of the state retard-
ed. Even those Indians who do not
wish to sell have been prevented by

FLAMES RAGE FOR FIVE HOURS
UNINTERRUPTEDLY
THOUSANDS OF DAMAGE
Immense Loss to Corn, Hay and Other
Crops-several Narrowly Avert
Destruction of Homes.

A prairie fire, which is thought to
have started from sparks Of pass
ing Katy engine, ragged yesterday af-
ternoon for five hours east of the
city. A track, approximately a mile
wide and four miles long, was swept
almost clean by the flames, and many
thousand dollars worth of damage
was done. A number of farmers mar
rowly averted total loss of their
crops, houses and barns. Scores OF
desperate men fought the fire valiant
ly during all the afternoon and about
5 O'Clock succeeded in subduing the
flames. The fire is the most disas-
trous that has occurred in this vicin-
ity for years.
IL. G. Ellingwood, Of this city, who
owns valuable property in the affected
district, was one of the party fighting
the flames. Mr.. Ellingwood tells the
following graphic story of the con-
nagration: "The fire started about
half mile east Of town, and was ap-
parently caused by sparks from a
Katy engine. first noticed it short
ly after dinner, and summoning my
men, made haste to combat 1t. The
track Of the fire was to the north and
east. 1t ran rapidly and almost un-
interrupted until it reached the viein-
ity of Coal creek, where the men who
were fighting il were rewarded by
success. The path of the flames was
about four miles long, and from a
half to mile in width. | cannot es-
innate the loss but expect il to ag-
gregate several thousand dollars. NY
men and went from the Daye ranch,
and were met by crowd Of men mid
way in the track Of the flames, who
were fighting them from the north.
There was a large crowd at the work,
probably hundred men all told A
great quantity Of corn, hay and other
crops, was destroyed. Robert Irwin
had a narrow escape from losing his
entire property by the connagration.
A farmer by the name Of Cunningham
was another who was lucky in escap-
ing ruinous loss. There were a
number of Others in the section whose
loss will prove great, but whose names
| do not know. We succeeded in get
ting control Of the fire about clock
in the evening""

Optimism is felt concerning the i'll
ness Of Bishop John j. Tigert, who
is seriously sick at his rooms in the
Brady hotel, although the famous
churchman is still in a critical condi-
ton, DR.. Clinton, the attending ply
sician, is in almost constant attend

op during the night At one time
during Thursday night, the health of
the bishop took a serious turn, but
after few trying moments, the cris-
is passed, and he has since shown a
marked change for the better.
Rev. Tigert is a very strong man,
mentally and physically, has never
been sick before in his lie, and these
facts will go a long way in assist
ing medical skill in his recovery.
The bishop is not unconscious and
retains a remarkable hold on fhis men,

grave danger he is in, and helps the

Panama, Nov. l6.-President Roose-
welt, who stopped at the Tivoli hotel
last night, started at 7 o'clock this
morning with Mrs. Roosevelt and
other mebers of his party to make an
examination of the Culebra cut. The
weather was overcast, threatening
rain. AT half past 8 O'Clock the
presidential train arrived at Pedro
Miguel, where some of the steam
shovels were at work. The president
had his train stopped for the pur-
pose of making a personal examina-
tion, At this point in the cut pecu-
liar soil conditions have resulted in
more or less frequent landslides, and
this fact was brought to the presi-
dents attention. Roosevelt de-
scended from his train and climbed
on one Of the steam shovels, taking
a seat along side of Engineer Gray,
whom he subjected to a searching

with the best class of tenants since
the best class Of tenants will not come
into a country where property is in
secure and where they have no OPP
portunity to acquire title.
These injurious laws lessen tax
able values and diminish the future
revenue for the support Of the state.
for the support Of schools, for the
support of roads, and those other
conveniences necessary to civilized
life.
If the country be not developed, if
the land be not made productive, it
is perfectly obvious that the state,
being deprived Of revenue that would
be possible, cannot reach so high a
degree Of excellence.
The restrictions have established
a bad method Of government.
This method encourages centraliza-
ton, it encourages secrecy, IL en-
courages graft and corruption. The
restrictions ought to be abolishmed
restrictions ought to be absolutely
abolished. The governmental records
should be thrown wide open, so that
any man who wishes to know may
know, and so that the clerks who are
in charge of those records should not
have convenient opportunity TO spec
ulate under secrecy Of administra-
ton. 1t is extremely difficult when
man is secret to detect the men who
profit by it. Opportunity for specula-
ton under such management is per-
fectly obvious and perfectly repre-
hensible as a mattre Of good govern
ment.
