ENGLAND INDORSES THE MOVE.
Wonders II Was Not Made Bcfore-Necd az
Canal and sfOre ships.
Special Cable Despatch 20 THE Sun.

Special Cable Despatch 20 THE SrS.
LONDON. july 6.-Tbe transfer of the
American battleship fleet to the Pacific.
which is attracting considerable attention
here. leads the Morning Post to remark
editorially that the move is natural and in
telligible. The only wonder il that il was
not made a year ago.
That the whole feet will be sent seems TO
indicate a great deal of strategioal insight
on the part Of the Navy Department. II
the fleet had been divided between the At
lantic inc Pacific the American navy would
for a long time have been reduced TO inn
potence in both oceans.
The Posi predicts that when the feet
reaches the Pacific. the inhabitants of the
Eastern section Of The United States will
begin to realize that il is very far on, and
will become very anxious to see the Panama
Canal completed. The West also will la
ment the distance Of the yea voyage separat-
ing it from the East and will he eager TO
shorten it by opening the Isthmus, the
paper says.
The vovag Of the feet may therefore
be the determining incident in a very inn
portant matter OF American national policy.
Both the Eastern and Western populations
will wish to have the battleships on their
own coast. Each will admit that the other
has a claim upon the ships. Accordingly
the East and West alike will be willing to
vote the money for the construction Of
another eighteen battleships. as well as for
the Isthmian canal.
Thus the decision TO move the battle
ships In a very clever move in American
domestic politics, v though il may have
no international Significance whatever.
Admitting that the prospect OF difficulties
with Japan may have possibly indirectly
influenced the decision, the Post sees no
indications and does not believe that either
America or japan seeks a violent solution
of the question Of admitting or excluding
Orientals from the United States. 1t says:
That will probably be the most me-
mentous question to be answered this CEN
fury by the statesmen of the East and West.
The whole world il alive to its bearings on
the future. II il il to beoome a matter of
quarrel, 1t will be a quarrel in which prac-
tically all the world will be engaged. The
question cannotb be lightly passed over here.
for it will have to be answered in much the
same contest by the British Empire. II IL a
deep question arising from a harder dilemma
than the people of England easily realize"

ROCHESTER,. n. Y. July 5.-The New Yort
Central Railroad. which was recently con-
victed in the Federal Court OF not filing a
schedule OF it's rates with the Interstate
Commerce Commission. was ined SIS 600
today by Judge Hazel. Sentence was
passed after a long argument for a new
trial had been made by William B. Hoyt.
counsel for the road. and had been denied.
In imposing sentence Judge Hazel aid
that in his opinion the jury had come TO an
eminently proper conclusion and that the
evidence had ehown beyond a reasonable
doubt that the New y ork Central Railroad
had entered INTO an arrangement with
other carriers for a through shipment Of
the oil and that everything had indicated
the purpose and intent of the company
10 conceal the schedule and give the Stand
ard Oil Company a favored rate. He said
the essential element OF the crime was a
common arrangement for a through ship
ment, and as this had been proved there
we're no ~eXtenuating circumstances.
Attorney Hoyt gave notice OF an appeal
and will file a writ Of error. He was allowed
sixty DAYS in which to perfect the appeal.
which will be argued in the I ,deral Court
in October.
The indictment OF the railroad resulted
from a shipment Of oil made by the Vacuum
Oil Company. a subsidiary Of he Standard

WASHINGTON. July S.-The War Depart

of Georgia against the annual trip Of the
graduating class of the Infantry and cavalry
school at Fort Leavenworth over the route
OF Shermnn's march TO the sea. TIT same
exercises we're carried out over the same

test or criticism. The only protest ever
raised from the South over a trip Of the kind
was when IL WAS proposed by the Rev,
Father Sherman, son of Gen. w. T. Sherman.
TO go over the route with n military escort.
The Southern people resented the spectacle
OF n military pageant that would revive
bitter memories Of the civil war and arou se

Clay voiced their displcaslre TO the Presi-
dent and Secretary OF War.

Members OF the Automobile Club Of
America have been trying to work out
some plan which would permit them TO be

Identification cards giving their names
and addresses Inc that in case OF arrest
these cards should be accepted by the

would obey an order to appear in court.
In order to pervent any illegal traffic
in such cards IL IL suggested that the police

duce his card on demand.
Gen. Bingham before acting on these
suggestions asked the advice Of Corpora
ton Counsel Ellison and yesterday Mr..
Ellison sem an opinion to the Police Com

posed by the club would be illegal.
Mr.. Ellison advised the Police Commits

ing sarkisian.

Ing sarkisian.
A cablegrsm was sent to United States
Consul Skinner at Msrseilles, France,
yesterday by Inspector MoCafferty Of the
Detective Bureau asking that Paul Sar-
kisian, who is under arrest there in connec-
ton with the murder of Father Caspar
vsrtsrisn, the Armenian priest, be sweated.
McCaferty sent the following msessage;
Tell Sarkisian he stopped at li Antoine
street, Montreal, with the others. Make
him tell all about the murder. Tell him it
will be best for him. We know more than
he thinks"
Inspector McCafferty is positive, he said
yesterday, that Sarkisian fed from New
York with Mooradian and Ermoyan. and he
feels that the suspect under arrest in France
is lying to saw himself. Central Office
detectives discovered that the three Arme-
mans, after numbering Father vartarian at
S37 West Thirty-seventh street. fed to
Montreal and put up at a house there. 1t
is believed that they separated In Canada.
McCaiferty scouts the theory that Sar-
kisian fed through fear Of having the crime
put up to him, and the detective chief says
there is little doubt hat the prisoner had as
much to do with the killing OF the priest as
the two others.
