NAVY IN BAD CONDITION
Admiral Mason says More Money IL
Needed or ships VIII
suffer.

WASHINGTON, May 1s.-"Should war
break out within the next few years the
condition Of the navy will be such as to
lead to disaster"
Such is the statement made b. Rear Ad-
miral Mason, chief OF the bureau Of ord
nance OF the Navy department, in state
ment to the secretary Of the navy calling
attention to the reduction i'm the estimates
Of the bureau OF ordnance made by the
department and the house committee on
naval affairs.
Admiral Mason shows that more than
n2OOO.OOO has been cut out Of the estimates
and he describes the condition of the bu-
reau as little short OF desperate" for the
coming year. He says there is not now and
will not be any reserve ammunition avail
able for any OF the important guns. 1t
will be necessary probably to discontinue
target practice and new ships must be sent
into commission without ammunition or
ordnance stores. There will be no reserve
guns, torpedoes or reserve mines on hand,
and range-finders and the money to buy
them is lacking. After pointing out that
congress provides for increases in the navy
without making provision for additional
ordnance and ordnance stores, Admiral
Mason says:
The evil effects Of this practice are ac-
cumulative and the resulting lack of eff
cheney has been increasing steadily for the
last few years until today the situation is
so serious that the bureau believes that Il
would be guilty of the gravest dereliction in
the performance Of its duty to the people,
to congress and to the department did it
not with. the utmost respect, but in plain
and unmistakable language, place itself on
record as having laid the actual facts as
they exist before all those who are in a
conditions which now exist.

CANNON DEFENDS THE CLERKS
Replies to Criticism of MIR. williams
Regarding the Recording
of Votes.

WASHINGTON May 1s.-speaker Cannon
said he had confidence in the reading clerks
OF the house yesterday. Mr.. williams
Miss.), during the filibuster against the
bill to pay Samuel Lee $4,000 for expenses
incurred during his contest for a seat in
the Forty-seventh congress, stated that he
had heard the name of a member called
and that the clerk had recorded him as
voting when as a matter Of fact the mem
Der was not in the city.
He said that he thought on several occa-
sions he had heard clerks respond for the
names OF members, but he could not be
certain of this, because his own hearing
was not good. On this occasion. however,
he had distinctly heard the clerk vote the
member and he thought there ought to be
a more careful calling of the roll.
Speaker Cannon replied that the eff
cheney and integrity of the clerks at the
speakers desk had never been questioned:
in fact their worth and honesty were
known to every member. He said that in
this great hall, and with the great mem
bership in the House, 1t was almost i'm
possible at times to hear members respond
and he thought that in a moment of
thoughtlessnees the clerk may have re-
corded response without consideration.
He believed that the taking of votes in
the house was on high plane of integrity.
Mr.. Williams replied by saying that no
did not desire to impugn the motives Of the
clerks; he only asked for a, proper record.

No party or government was entirely
united on this subject. He warned the
women against indiscreet action. which, he
said, probably will check the flowing tide
and advised them TO leave the matter con-

The premier concluded with saying that
he believed It would not be many years
before the desired change was brought
about. This reference TO years was met
with Kissing from the members Of the

No Pledges, Advising
Patience.

LONDON. May ls-Escorted by forty
members Of Parliament nearly 400 women
suffrasists, representing organizations from
all parts of the country, interviewed
Premier Campbell Zimmerman at the For
| eisn ONCE today and presented their claims
that women be allowed to vote. Only eight
members of the numerous deputation were
allowed 20 speak, and, in accordance with
a previous arrangement, each speaker was
limited to five minutes. But in the aRrre-
gate Of forty minutes the premier heard
about all there was to hear in favor of
female suffrage
The immediate grant of women's rights
was the unanimous demand of the sneak
ers. some of whom presented to the premier
their minimum demands" claiming that
Immediate legislation bestowing on women
the right to vote was necessary and de-
claring that promise 10 take the matter
up at the next session Of Parliament would
not satisfy them.
Scene IL Humorous.
One speaker menacingIy declared that the
women were prepared to sacrifice their
lives in behalf Of their demands
The premier smiled upon this strangely
assorted gathering of women. including
as II did women OF title side by side with
factory employees, and said he sympathized
with the object of the deputatiOn, but
asked his visitors to be patient until the
government became more united In favor
Of the extension Of the franchise to women.
The cause, he added, had made enormous
strides OF late years. Personally he be-
lieved that women were as well qualified
as men, and perhaps better, TO exercise
the right to vote and in his opinion the
deputation had made out a conclusive and
irrefutable case.
Speaking for others, however, as we'll as
himself. the premier pointed out that IL
was necessary to preach the virtue of
patience. Only harm would result IL, be-
cause of his own sympathies and convic-
tions, he gave a pledge regarding the time
and method Of achieving the object they
had in view

and financial help is most needed is
out in the country districts. The
rural schools will never give the best
return for the money expended, nor
bring to the boys and girls on the
farms what is their due until the
township system with it's central
graded school is established. Then
there should be in each county at
least one school of agriculture and
domestic science.
The farm is the basis of Minnesota s
wealth. Any money expended in in
creasing the volume of farm products
is we'll invested. In no way can this
end be reached more surely and eco.
nomically than by financial encour-
agement that will result in the con-
solidation of the rural schools and
the establishment of county agricul-
tural high schools, with courses in
agriculture and homemaking, that will
have started at the primary grades.

Misses Myrtle and Jessie Love Of

The program for the evenings en-
tertainment had been prepared with a
view of getting as much fun from the
proceedings as possible. From be-
ginning to end, with the exception OF
the piano selections by Miss Myrtle
Love, everything was enigmatical.
The bill of fare was an enigma, the
games indulged in were enigmatical
and Host Ludden proved himself to
be conundrum surpassed only by
his wife in insolvability. Enjoyment
reigned supreme throughout the even
ing.
Those present were Misses Myrtle

Devil Carts Obstinacy Brings Disaster.
Being of opinion that DR.. Armita ge
was not giving his automobile sufic-
lent exercise, VIM. Firth, o. B. More
house and Arnold Buck yesterday
took the machine out for that purpose.
After going around town several times
Billy Firth, who was Woodworking,
made an attempt to execute a figure
eight near VIM. Bigelow's place. The
result was that the machine refused to
cut any such capers but persisted in
going straight ahead through Bige-
lows fence, snorting and filing the
air with its bad breath. It struck an
oak tree and pulled it up by the roots,
but in so doing it's thingumbob ex-
ploded and it was compelled to stop.
Had it not been for this Mr.. Bigelow's
house would likely have been razed to
the ground. The damage to the ma
chine is said to be about $50. Doc.

GCSS and Swanson.

Both of the candidates for state
senator in the 10Th district, Mr.. John
Goss and Mr.. c.. j. Swanson are good
clean men, and there is no necessity
for mud-throwing by the friends of
either. The U n O n, largely for per-
sonal reasons, favors Mr.. Goss and
hopes to see him chosen to represent
the district in the state senate. For
more than 80 years we have known
Mr.. Goss and have always regarded
him as thoroughly upright and con-
scientious man. We have also
known Mr.. Swanson for long time,
although we never have had an inti-
mate acquaintance with him, and he
certainly is man of many sterling
quantities. Let the contest between
these two estimable gentlemen be a
good-natured one, and whichever is
chosen the district will be we'll and
faithfully represented in the higher
branch of the state legislature.
