for Miss Walsh to go on the road, it
was decided to send her straight

Fort Smith July 5.-Prosecu- ting Attorney Mcdonald has filed more information against confectioners, cigars and news stands and those e supply ing soda fountain drinks on the Sabbath. MT. Mcdonald has lost about all the cases brought by him before justices of the peace, but he has announced that he will pay no attention to public sentiment, as expressed by the verdict of acquittal, and will file information each week until the end of his term. Mr. Mcdonald, during his campaign, stated that he would either enforce the laws or resign, and as a consequence he must bring informations to avoid the necessity of resignlng He announced some weeks ago that the social evil must be abol- ished. The opposition on thepart of the business clement was so great he finally agreed to relin quish all jurisdiction if the City Council would pass regulating ordinance, which was done.

LESSON
Jaunt of Our Warships to Pacific Held to Show How Quickly
 They Can Move.
LAPS AT VANILLA DISCHARGED
Everything in Our Eastern Possession S Being Placed on War Basis and
 no Chances are Being Taken.

Washington, July 5.-Viewed from the most conservative as pect, there is a general dispOSi- tiOn here now to conStrue the announcement of the sending of the battle ship fleet to the Pacific Ocean as intended as an object lesson for Japan The admins tration protests that this is not so. It is true that the movement was planned by the general board of the navy under the guidance of Admiral Dewey months ago. In spite of that fact the public of both this country and Japan will construe the demonstration as for the benefit of Japan. Despite official, persistent and authoritive announcement that such is not the intent, the general public in it's conclusions will be right.
 Not since Theodore Roosevelt became president has there been less of sincerity, and less offrank- ness in the handling of a matter of great public interest and mo. ment. The private secretary to the president, even in the final admission yesterday, was so evasive and secretive when his announcement was compared with that of Secretary of the Navy Metcalf, that it's "diplo- macy" was evident on it's face.
 From the first the officials of the administration have been persistent in their official denials of any naval movement in con ! temptation. There is now good ground for refusing to receive any further statement from ad- ministration sources as to its ob- ject, and the other plans in con nection with it with the credence which is usually accorded official announcements. The administra- tion seems as of it's own volition to have developed an Ananias club, with membership within the administration circle.
 LAPS DISCHARGED
 Manila, P l., July 5.-All of the Japanese working on the Notifications and around the Olongapo and Cavite naval sta tions have been discharged, in cluding experts who have been in the service for some years. It is asserted by officers stationed here that the orders for this ac- tion came direct loom Washing ton, and are peremptory.
 When interviewed, Rear Admi ral Hemphill and others naval officers denied that any extraor- dinary preparations were under way. Men who have watched the situation here, however, includ. ing those high in official life, be- lieve, however, that Gen. Wood and Rear Admiral Hemphill are carrying out plans to put the de lenses of Manila and the two inn portant nation stations in the Phillipine Islands on war ha- sis"
