WASHINGTON, d. c., May T.
The navy department has come to
the conclusion that something must
be done without delay to protect a
large quantity of valuable ma

mandant of the yard has sent a
special report to Washington, COM
planning that he has not the facili-
ties to properly protect this ma
terial from thieves.
Recently a marine officer was ac-

the material, and some time ago
one of the sentries killed a man
who was caught carrying off valu-
able spiping.

Stage Graft Brings
War With Actors.

The crusade against graft has spread
to the Davis Theater and the entire
Rice & Cady Company will be rele-
gated from the boards if the mood in
which the proprietor was found last
night should continue
When the crusade started a week or
more ago the members of the company
could not resist making capital of il,
and jokes were forced that Sam Davis
began to consider too pointed. His
position on the Board of Supervisors
made these jokes indelicate, 10 say the
least. and he finally issued instructions
that the word graft" or .'any reference
to the thing itselfsin San Francisco
should not be used
The rule was partially observed, but
the interdicted word would occasionally
sorship was virtually ignored. Davis
finally lost patience when a pair of
comedians got off the following;
What would you do if you needed a
million dollars?"
I'D loot bank and then appoint
myself District Attorney
That was too much, he considered
and he had an interview with the
comedians at which there were big
things doing. The rest of the company
took sides with the comedians and feel
ing has been high since. But the Jokes
continued, and it looked last night as
If the Supervisor would have to get
an entire new company If he persisted
in having his actormen keep off the
municipal grassplot and refrain from
injuring administrative susceptibilities.

!" MIKE" SULLIVAN
WOULD FIGHT
JOE THOMAS.

SEATTLE, Oct. 2s.-Jack Twin
Sullivan started for San Francisco to-
day to hurl challenge into the teeth
of those fighting marvels, Jack O'Brien
and Tommy Burns, on his own account,
and to stack up $1,000 in gold in front
of Joe Thomas and see whether the
dazzling sight will tempt the man
whom Joe Cans tagged with the well
terweight championship in fight
with Brother Mike 1t is the Joe
Thomas game that Jack is really seek
ing. Joe Cans tossed Thomas the
weiterweight championship. and Jack
is going to offer guarantee of $1,000
that Mike will do 142 ringside any
old time that Thomas wants the ex-
perience. If Mike can get down to
133 for Cans he would have no trouble
in doing the ringside limit for Thomas.
Jack has it all doped out that Mike is
the logical candidate for Thomas.
On his own account Jack, who fights
at 156. is willing to meet the winner
of the OBrien- n-Burns fight at catch

Only Ruef Men May
Approach Graham.

Superior Judge Graham is constantly
visited at his home. 2342 Broadway, by
the friends of Abe Ruef. who has at his
disposal the San Francisco Police De-
partment a guard is established and
its purpose is to prevent the Judges
house from being approached by any
one who might represent Francis J.
Heney or his assistant, Agent Burns.
and at the same time to permit of easy
access to the place of the numerous en-
bassies which Ruef sends to Graham
Ruef,s campaign is both defensive
and offensive. He seeks to capture
Graham's ruling and at the same time
to prevent any one but his own men
from reaching the ear of the Judge
who is today to rule on the respective
rights of Ruef and Langdon to appear
in court as District Attorney. Yester-
day. while Ruefs adherents in mass
meeting were condemning newspaper
for advising citizens to gather and give
their moral support Ito the court. the
Ruef police force was preventing any
one not wearing the boss's collar from
approaching Judge Graham's house
If you were not fright" 1t was "get
out" the police said.
Agent Burns has stationed his men
in the vicinity of the place to note the
activity of the police. They have seen
Ruef men of every grade enter the place
to plead with the court to recognize
Ruef as District Attorney. And while
the Ruef men pass freely in and out the
entrance is barred by the boss police
to any person who might be suspected
of being interested in the cause of re-
form

Ruef Will Organize
the Job Holders.

Fearful of a break in the ranks of
the administration hirelings, Ruef has
ordered that the men who have been
given places by the administration must
be got together and every man who
wears the collar must stand by him
against the charges of graft.
George Keane,. has had an adver-
tisement inserted in the papers call
ing on every municipal efnploye to
meet at the Dreamland Skating Rink
to organize to fight the prosecution.
Each man is also asked to bring with
him list of five men who can be de-
pended upon to cooperate with them
in the fight. Ruef feels the need of
support and by corraling the faithful
he can note the absentees and the
lukewarm and watch for the dreaded
leak.
The advertisement does not state
whether the meeting will be open to
others outside those who are mentioned
in the call. but the fact that each man
is asked to sign the list of five names
he submits indicates that the new or
ganization will proceed with caution In
the attempt to create a following and
make the fight between the grafters
and the prosecution bitter one.
I'VE must stand together" is the
cry of the leaders, and they are ap-
pealing to every prejudice to create
sympathy and stiffen the weak and fall
tering followers.

ment, and Captain McFarlane who was

for his coat, as he was getting cold He
was gone but a few seconds, but the
Hornets saw the opening and, making
a grand rally, took the ball up the field
and on long shot by Constable scored.

tried to beat the ball out, but was not
fast enough.

ROSEBEN TO HAVE

NEXT YEAR.
SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL.

NEW YORK, Oct. 2S.-Roseben. the
greatest race horse of the season, is
destined TO become a cross-country
champion. Next season possibly will
be his last on the fat. After that
he will be in the ranks Of the chasers
between the flags.
weil-known wealthy owner of
steeplechase horses considers him the
most eligible horse now racing on the
main tracks for that branch of the
sport. Qualities of a great steeple-
chaser-speed and ability to carry
weight-are Roseben's. Racing be-
tween jumps merely consists Of sue
cessiOn Of short sprints' and any morse
that can carry weight and has speed
can earn his livelihood between the
flags. OF course he must be able to
jump but as horses that are nimble
on their feet usually jump well, Rose
ben should take TO that part of the
game easily and becoming an adept aft
er a little practice.
Ballaret could scarcely run NOR
than hve-eighths OF a mile on the fla
but through the field frequently wer

The latter has earned the distinctic
Of being the peerless sprinter Of Anne

questionabiy the fastest horse in I.
country.
The principal subject OF discussio
among turfmen is the probable actio
the Jockey Club stewards will TAX
against Jockey Rsdtke. 1t is the opin
ion Of the majority of owners ans
trainers that officials of the govern
ing turf organization wouldn't ruls
the boy of for his handling of Tommy
Waddell. but that they would punisl
him by suspension for at least month.
This probable action. turfmen said.
would be due not so much to Radtke's
bad horsemanship with Tommy Wad-
dell, but on account Of his poor con-
duct and bad temper.

The bridge was found closed properly
and locked. the signal showing clear
movement. The track was in good
condition, and until the cars can be
raised out Of the water 1t Is not pos
sible to find the cause of the accident
1t was necessary to procure divers be-
fore the train could be raised. and
these are now working on the wreck.
Divers not being available in Atlantic
City, they had to be procured from
Camden and Philadelphia. General
Manager .Atterbury with force or
men Is on the ground and every ef-
fort is being made to remove the cars
from the water and recover the bodies.
1t is hoped that with the removal of
the cars that a critical examination
of the equipment, can. be made in order
that the cause of the accident may be
determined.
"An effort is being made to learn
the names of the passengers on the
train The bodies recovered are being
placed in charge of undertakers to

been in service but a few weeks. and

The Very Rev. Henry H. wyman. c.
S. P. superior and rector OF St. Marys
Church (Paulist) preached the sermon
at the IL o'clock mass yesterday .-on
The Sum of Religious Truths. The
following Is an abstract of the ser
mon.
In the world of human thought there
is a constant change taking place an
alOgous to that which goes on inFthe
physical universe Yet there are GER
tain fixed laws according 20 which na-
ture always adjusts itself. So It Is
in the world Of ideas There are GER
tain primary and self evident truths TO
which all minds are forced 10 agree.
otherwise knowledge or fact would not
be attainable.
In general. truth is unchangable and
error variable.
When we come to apply those truths
to religion. we find that II has GER
tain interchangeable dogmas and laws
which cannot be questioned withS-k
subverting the foundation OF all =
ligious belief
The sum of religious belief Is con-
tained in the revelation OF which. God
Is the author. Human science cannot
add anything to il. nor subtract any
thing from IL. Invesfi gatian.-s even

The Catholic system. as Its very name
implies. is the expression -gofs the IN

taught 1t cannot be changed or mOdl-
fed in the least. no matter how men
may regard it,
