Attended. Floral Tributes Were
Suggestive of His Wide Popularity.

The funeral services of the late
Ward Hughes were held yesterday af-
ternoon at $3.50 o'clock in the paFfors
of Mohn and Driscoll and were very
largely attended and We're conducted
by Rev. Donald Brookman, rector Of
Trinity Episcopal church.
The casket was literally banked in
roses, most OF them American beauties.
The fact that these floral tributes came
from friends in almost every walk of
life, was significant of the esteem in
which the dead man was held by all
who knew him. One of the finest
pieces was sent by Chinese friend
who knew him well and in like manner
there We're offerings from among all
classes with whom the deceased had
come in contact during his career in
this city.
During the services two very appro-
pirate musical selections were sung:

and Come Unto Me-" The honorary

al Rifle association OF America. recently
held at Camp Perry, Ohio.
To Sergeant Berg the president wrote
as follows:
MY Dear Sergeant Berg: 1 congratu-
late you heartily upon winning the Presi-
dents match. / felt that in this cOun-
try. with our complex and rather over
luxurious civilization, it is above all
things important there should be no fall
ing off in the vital qualities which make
of the average man good soldier as
well as a good citizen. 1t is absolutely
essential that we should keep up first
class fighting navy, but in the event of Il
land war we should have TO rely chiefly
upon our volunteer forces, and when war
has come it is too late to teach q man
how to become a really formidable shot,
while good craftsmanship is one of the
three or four Yitally important qualities
in really efficient soldier. As an old
national guardsman myself l feel an ad-
ditional pride in your success.
Thanking you and cOngratulating you
heartily | am sincerely yours.
THEODORE ROOSEVELT"
The presidents letter to Mldshipman
Smith says;
NV Dear Mr.. Smith: / heartily con-
graduate you on your victory in the
Presidents match and the national indi-
vidual match. l am exceedingly pleased
that 1t should be a midshipman of the
United States navy who has achieved this
honor and [ congratulate the service as
well as yourself.

closing the discussion. Venezuela has no
concern regarding the disposition which
the American government makes of the
moneys already received and to be re-
ceiVed."

IMPOSSIBLE TO COMPETE
Iron Workers on Pacific Coast Can
not Attempt the Building
of BattleshipS.

New York, Sept N.-Henry T Scott,
who was president of the Union Iron
Works of San Francisco when that con-
Germ built the bSttleship Oregon, said in
an interview here, as to the approaching
cruise of the United States battleship fleet
to the Pacific coast, that the navy of the
future will have TO be almost entirely
the product Of eastern shipyards, as la
Dor conditions on the western coast make
economical construction of battleships I'M
possible.
Conditions are getting worse instead
of better in the labor market in the
west" said Mr.. Scott. with the added
cost of freight on the materials necessary
for battleship construction and the fact
that with shorter workday our me-
chanics receive . per cent higher pay
than in the east. it is impossible for west
ern ShipbuildeTs to compete with those of
the Atlantic coast
"All the battleships the United States
will ever have on the Pacific ocean will
have to be built on the Atlantic seabOard
and the people of the coast are glad that
the fleet is to be sent around there

CIGHER PRICES FOR BEEF
People of New York and the East
Also Pay Tribute to the
Great Monopoly.

New York. Sept. N.-Housekeepers
throughout this city are complaining over
an increase in the price of beef and beef
products. There has been an increase in
the cost to the retailer of 1 cent a pound.
1t is understood among the retail dealers
that the price will go up within the next
month p a cent, if not a cent more.
The wholesalers give many reasons for
the increase in prices. One of the princi-
pal ones is that the farmers have had to
fatten their cattle on grain, instead of
grass, as usual at this time of year. ow
ing to the long drought last summer. On
the other hand, it is cOntended in some
quarters that the price of beef has been
raised by the big western packers be-
cause of the renewed agitation of the
question of the governments prosecutions
of big corporations. The price for lamb,
veal and mutton are practically station
AIRY and are no higher than usual at this
season of the year
