Ia1t and including in its membership the
omcers or the army and the navy in charge
or the great defense bureaus of both sery-
Ices, this reference is made to Hawaii:
since 1856 our territorial limits have
been enlarged by the addition of the insu-
lar possessions. They are distant from the
great centers and sources of supply. and
cannot be held unless their principal ports
are fortified before the outbreak of war
1t Is clear that the defense should be pro-
vided with as little delay as possible Naval
bases and coaling stations must be pro-
tected by Notifications, and, in addition,
Manila, Honolulu and San Juan are of suf-
iicient military Importance to deserve ade-
quate defense"

FORTS FOR HAW All
SECRETARY TAFT WRITES URG-
EMILY TO MR.. ALLISON.

There is every reason why the fortifica-
tons at Hawaii should be made ready"
Secretary Taft thus expresses himself
today in an urgent letter to Senator ALI
son, chairman Of the committee on appro-
priations, renewing his request for an ad-
ditional appropriation of $35OOO0 for the
purpose of terrifying Pearl harbor, Ha-
wall. Late yesterday the Senate passed an
appropriation bill for Notifications, which
contained allowance Of but $1OO, 1000,
which is $25O,O0O less than the Secretary
asked for. There is now $260,0O0 available
under last years appropriation, and 1t is
the Secretary's desire to expend at least
100000 for Notifications in Hawaii. But
the Secretary expressly refrained from
stating in his letter any one reason why he
deemed 1t necessary to Immediately fortify
the Hawaiian Islands, apparently prefer
ring to leave that to inference.
The text Of Secretary Taft's letter is as
follows:
my Dear Senator: I write to urge upon
you that the appropriation for Pearl harbor
be made $3.50, 900 instead Of 100000 We
can certainly expend this In the next year,
and there is every reason why the forti-
fications of Hawaii should be made ready.
Will you not bring this to the attention of
your committee and the Senate? The in
closed statement from the national coast
defense board, recently appointed, shows
the fact. 1 send it to you at the suggestion
Of Senator Perkins"
Report Of Coast Defense Board.
The report Of the national coast defense
board, referred to by the Secretary, was
made to the President and by him trans
mitted to Congress year ago. In sending
it the President himself strongly Endorsed
the boards recommendations, which in
cluded a sweeping revision of the plans of
the old Endicott board designed to COM
pletely modernize the coast defense plans.
In his message the President said: "In the
insular possessions the great naval bases
bor and the coaling stations at Guam and
San Juan require protection, and, in ad-
dition, defenses are recommended for
Manila bay and Honolulu, because of the
strategic Importance Of these localities"

MONTH OF PROGRESS.
Rebuilding of San Francisco Rapidly
Going Forward.

SAN FRANCISCO. January 30.-In its
monthly bulletin of progress issued today
the California promotion committee says
The first month of the new year has
been one of progress in California and re-
committee show that all parts of the state
are feeling the influence of improved con-
ditions
There is continued shortage of laborers in
many lines all over the state, this being es-
pecially noticeable in ordinary laborers In
the lumber industry, and in female help, as
operatives in mills and factories. Store
help, telephone operators and oomestics are
in enormous demand. Office men, clerks
and bookkeepers are called for in all parts
of the state.
Conditions in San Francisco, so far as
building operations and commerce are con-
cerned. are eminently satisfactory. More
than $39.OOO000 expenditure is called for by
the 7,134 building permits which have been
issued since the fire. 1t has been estimated
by architects and contractors that fully
S1O0,O0,0OO will be expended in buildings
during the coming year. One hundred and
fifty buildings, between five and twenty
two stories in height, are now in course OF
erection or have been completed and occu
pied since the fire and the total number OF
permanent buildings that have been erected
are in course of erection is more than
1000.
"California's hop and raisin crops have
been exhausted at the highest prices had in
many years. and 1t is estimated that the
which bring top prices in eastern mar

Copley told the police that he and his wife
had had their first quarrel last evening.
WAS the quarrel of a serious nature?
he was asked.
The husband admitted that it was of a
more serious nature than he had desired,
but he refused to divulse the nature of it.
Later he tated the reason for the dis
agreement that he remained up late
at night. writing or reading. but during an
examination conducted by Inspector Board
man later today he admitted that his wife
quarreed with him because she had seen
him walking with young woman clerk in

the house shortly after 10 O'Clock and

perfection of the protective idea might be

said, in part:
"These anniversary exercises strongly
appeal to me, for 1 always regard it as a

his fine loyalty In all the sacred relations
OF home; his long years Of public service,
with their ever-increasng growth in the re-
spect and affection of the people, Such
life and such a service would have been
notable even had he not reached the high
Office with which his name will be forever
associated. In the great responsibilities of
the presidency they found their full frui-
ton. From the day that he became Presf-

complished, nor do We yet appreciate with
what prophetic vision he saw for his be-

Before the father got ready to retire he
moved the boy to a crib in the room. This,
it Is stated. has been his custom ever since
the birth of Ruth. When such had been
done, 1t is said. the husband proceeded to
the lower floor and wrote letter to q
relative in the west. returning to the sec
ond floor about IL 80 o'clock. His wife and
children were in the rear room and the
husband went to the front room to retire.
Statement by Mr.. Copley.
II was in the act of putting clean slip
on a pillow" he stated, when 1 heard a
noise. At first thought explosive had
been placed on the car track in front OF
the house, but when l heard the second shot
realized that the shooting was in the
back ROOM.
Mr.. Copley then went to the room and
called his wife, but he received no re-
Spouse. Seeing she had been shot, he says
he hurried to the home of Dr. Dorsey about
one square away. The physician was
awakened by the furious ringing of his
door-bell, and responding to the call ne
found his ne.ghbor only about half clad,
standing at the door. He was somewhat
excited. but he managed to tell the doctor
where his services were needed. Then Cop
ley returned in the direction of his house,
waiting the outside for the physician.
1t required only a glance for DR.. Dorsey to
realize that life was extinct.
Surviving Child With Neighbors.
Before Mrs. Owens and her husband
reached the house, however, it was ascer-
tanned that the child was dead. Then Mrs.
Owens took Raymond to her house. The
child was too young to realize what had
occurred, but this morning when he
awakened he called for his mother. Mrs.
Owens and other members of the house

who reside only a short distance from the
home of the Copley family, were on friendly

Mr.. Copley,'' Mr.. Owens said, was more
than a model husband, and his wife was
the best housekeeper 1 ever knew. l know
that that man never killed his wife and
child. He thought the world of them, and
he always did everything he could to help
his wife.

Owens added "and in the kitchen you will

was greatly in evidence.
