NAVY
C0CHLAN' S ADVICE
Retiring Commandant Says Perpetual
Peace Is Not Probable and Nation
Should Be Prepared for
Any Emergency
By Associated Press.

By Associated Press.
NEW YORK, June Rear Admiral
Joseph Bullock Coghlan, U. S. N, who
retired today from active service from
the post of commandant of the New
York navy yard, declares that if he
had his life to do over again he would
re-enter the United States navy; that
it is the finest organization of it's kind
in the world and that it holds out
greater inducements to the young men
of this country than does the navy of
any other nation. Admiral Coghlan
thinks that our navy should be made
bigger and stronger. In an interview
he said:
Peace in perpetuity, about which
so much is being said just now, may
be possible, but it is not reasonably
probable. Be prepared to whip or be
willing to get whipped is the position
in which every great nation stands
today. Let us keep peace while we
have it. The only way to do this is
to keep building battleships and adding
to the numerical strength of the navy"
Admiral Coghlan thinks that the
United States ought to have the most
powerful navy afloat. He was warm
in his praise of the United States naval
academy and also of the men who are
now enlisting in the navy. The blue
Jackets come largely from the farms,
he said, and they are selected with
extreme care as to their physical fit
ness. Moreover, their mental fitness
is on a much higher plane.
Admiral Coghlans retirement re-
moves from the service one of the most
picturesque figures in the navy. He
commanded the Raleigh in the battle
of Manila bay, and his subsequent re-
citation at a banquet of satirical
"Hoch der Kaiser" became an inter-
national episode.
Admiral Coghlan is succeeded as
commandant at the navy yard by
Rear Admiral Caspar F. Goodrich.

cript of the testimony taken before

dicted for bribery, credits Abraham
Ruef with having testified in part as
follows:
at received from Drum $4,000 as an
attorneys fee about the time that the
gas rates were being fixed. OF that
money 1 gave to Gallagher for the
board of supervisors about $4,000. Mr..
Drum spoke to me about employing
me in the service of the company a
month or two before, 1 believe, and
engaged me as attorney to represent
the interests, as I understood it from
him. which he represented in the COM
pany, at $1,000 a month l received it,,
l believe, for two or three months"
OF the 10000 Ruef said he gave
Schmitz $4,000. Drum in his testimony
said he never talked with Ruef and
Schmitz in reference to gas rates and
denied paying Ruef a fee of $4,000
and salary of $1,000 per month.

Extensive Alterations Made in Engi-

Says Commission
BY Associated Press.

WASHINGTON, June LIN ex-
PLANTATION of the cabled report from
Panama of extensive revision in en-
gineering estimates for the Gatum dam
and lake, upon the sufficiency of which
the success of the entire project de-
pends, the following statement was to-
day issued by the isthmian canal COM
mission:
Detailed surveys which have beer
completed on the isthmus show that
the area of the great Gatum lake will
be 225 square miles, or double the es-
innate made in the minority, or lock
canal report of the board of consulting
engineers, which is 110 square miles.
In the opinion of those engineers of
the commission who have given most
study to the question this large area
is a great advantage to the lock type
canal in both wet and dry seasons. 1t
will make it possible to impound all
water, even in extreme floods like that
of last December. and to handle it
with less fluctuation in the canal level.
1.-THE larger lake. it is estimated,
will give sufficient water for fifty-siX
lockages day instead of twenty-siX,
as heretofore calculated"
