FROM COTTRELL

The resignation OF Mayor Cottrell as
member Of the school committee OF
Newport was rendered the city council

mended a Joint session of the common

was familiar win city business or II he
had taken the trouble 20 examine the
records OF tho city council he would have
no reason to ask your honorable body
by what authority was the balance trans

propriated were added 10 the general fund

DRILL FOR NAVAL OFFICERS
North Atlantic Fleet TO Move I'm the
Coming Maneuvers With
out signals.

WASHINGTON, July 5.-Plans for ex-
tensive maneuvers of the North Atlantic
fleet are being matured by the general
naval board, in conjunction with Read Ad-
miral Evans, commanding the fleet. Ad-
mirsl Dewey, president OF the board. has
sent to Admiral Evans a copy of the pro-
gram of the mRneuyers OF the French
fleet in the Mediterranean. The sea ma
neuvers are under the direction OF Vice
Admiral Fournier, who not long ago Wis
tied the United States and was a guest of
some OF our naval officers. Rear Admiral
Evans will have a fleet Of sixteen battle
ships, which will be the largest fleet of eff
fective lighting vessels ever assembled at
one time by the United States.
A new feature is 10 be introduced in the
maneuvers this summer and the ships are
10 practive evolutions without signals, in
order to meet emergencies in battle when.
owing to smoke OF when signal apparatus
has been shot away, signals can no longer
be seen. As IL is regarded as somewhat
hazardous 10 mRneuver the big bRttleships
without signals, Il is thought necessary to
have the officers familiar with this duty
in case they are engaged in actual war at
some time in the future and a situation
should arise necsssitating the abandon

FRISCO SALOONS REOPEN
Lid Lifted for the First Time
since the Earthquake
April Is.

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal. July 5-For the
first time since April IS the saloons were
permitted 10 reopen today. Licenses have
been granted TO about 800 drinking places
and all are d )ing business. To a large
number OF persons the resumption of busi-
ness at the saloons appeared to be quite
novelty and many were on hand when
the bar room doors swung open. Nearly
all the resorts were crowded, but up to
noon no serious trouble had been reported
Extra policemen were detailed for duty
in all the blocks containing saloons. II Is
planned to place all men arrested for in
toxcation at work cleaning away debris
from sidewalks and streets.
The relief committee adopted its budget
for July and will submit It TO the finance
committee for review. The estimated eX-
penditures for the month total in round
numbers $4,000. This expense will be for
administrative work and will not include
the money to be used for the purchase Of
food and clothing. The budget is below
the figures suggested a week ago.
Approximately $1,000 women and children
are now drawing upon the relief stores for
either food or clothing, the great majority
OF them for all their living necessities.
DR.. Devine stated today that a large con-
signment Of relief supplies had arrived
from Chicago and would 30 distributed as
fast as possible.
