Naval Militia May Shoot.

Washington, D. C.-Attorney Gen.
eral Bonaparte has rendered an
opinion to the acting secretary of war
holding, in effect, that the naval mill
tia of the United States is a part Of
the organized militia, which, if &C
cepted by the department, will give
an opportunity for teams from the ma
val militia to enter the rife contests
at Camp Perry, O., during this month.
Last year the war department held
that the naval boys were not entitled
to participate in the rifle contests, and
there is considerable complaint in
consequence.

BASE BALI.
Shreveport Breaks the Worlds Record
Shutouts the Programme.

Shreveport's base ball team was again
defeated yesterday by Montgomery, and
as usual were shut out, by a score OF
8 to Q. Since leaving home the Pirates
have lost ten and won two games, hav-
ing lost eight straight, and establishing
new worlds record in being shout out
by going fifty-eight inningswithout
score. They have proven bad road
team all season Out Of thirty games
played they have won six and lost twen-
ty-four, a miserable showing. Leaving
home in fourth place they are now COM
fortably resting in last place longing for
lower position. They no doubt will
be dubbed the Cellar Champions" a
title they seem anxious to acquire. Such
exhibitions as have been given of late
are a disgrace to the Southern League
and organized base ball. 1t is up to them
to wake up and play ball or retire to the
Bush League" as Shreveport has nc
use for lot of cutters.

CITY DEMOCRATIC EXECUTIVE
COMMITTEE IN SESSION.
A PRIMARY FOR JULY 26
A Compliance With the Law Necessary.
Nominations Will Close OH July IS.
Candidates Assessed to Pay the In
cidental Expenses.

The City Democratic Executive Com
mittee was convened yesterday after
noon at o'clock in the Office of Jules
Dreyfuss, in the Shreveport Building
Association
The committee was organized by the
election of Jules Dreyfuss as president
and Matthew Van Lear as secretary,
and w. c. Agurs as treasurer.
In view of the limited number of days
from the date of the meeting and the
election fixed by the Council, which is
July 3o it was suggested that nomina-
tions be closed on July 2o and that all
the names in nominations be printed on
the tickets, which are to be supplied by
the city for the July 80 election.
This proposition was not entertained,
as it was not in keeping with the provis-
ions of the primary law, which could
not be waived
After an interesting and somewhat ex-
tended review of the situation, it was
determined to hold the first primary on
Friday, July 2o, and the second on Sat
urday, the 27th, if it be necessary.
There was then levied an assessment
of $500 on each of the candidates for
councilmen-at-large and 5000 on the
candidates from Ward Seven. After
paying the expenses for which this
amount is levied, if there be left bal
ance on hand it will be refunded to the
candidates.
The commissioners and the clerks and
the polling places excepting Ward Sew
EN- for the primary will be as announced
for the July 80 election.
For this primary the booth in Ward
Seven will be in Henry Zwally's studio
on Common street instead of the black
smith shop.
After the adoption of a series of reso-
lutions and instructions, which are to
govern the primary, the committee was
adjourned subject to call.

There is no threat to Japan or to any
other country in the movement of the
battleship fleet. but there is, on the
other hand, an assurance of the peace of
this country. and that is what the gov
ernment should strive for. The feet
now under command of Admiral Evans
should not only be sent to the Pacific,
but it should be kept there and another
fleet should be provided for the Atlantic

the one that is to go around the Horn.
We are too wealthy nation, and our
interests are too important to be secured

THE JAPANESE SITUATION
Whatever the Motive That Propmted
the Move, the Move Itself Was Good,
and Even a Necessary One.

Editorial of the Times-Democrat July
70: A Washington dispatc says the gen
eral opinion in Japan is that the Atlantic
fleet is to be sent to the Pacific as
matter of domestic politics, and that the
movement has no international signih
cance Whatever was the motive that
prompted the move, the move itself was
good, and even necessary one. There
is no danger of war perhaps under any
circumstances, for those who have been
attempting to stir up trouble, either I'M
der the disguise of jingoes or Of peace
advocates, have done their worst, and
the acute stage of the>attack has passed.
But the sending of fleet to the Pacific
will make the assurance of peace doubly
sure, and once the battleship fleet dou
bles the Horn there will be no possibil
ity whatever of war Foreign chancel
lories have recognized that, and have
had no criticism to make of the plan.
The slur cast on the American navy by
distinguished Japanese sailor, though
one with disastrous record in war, has
been withdrawn, and altogether the at
mosphere is much clearer than it was
week ago.
The remarkable part of the incident is
that any one should essay to criticise
the American government for sending
its warships anywhere it pleases in home
or neutral waters Permission for
cruises of that sort is not necessary, and
there is no reason whatever why it
should be asked There are but two
views from which the cruise may be re-
garded: If there -is no danger of war
no criticism whatever of the cruise is
possible. If there be danger of war,
then the fleet should get to the Pacific
without delay Domestic politics has
nothing whatever to do with the matter.
The feet is either needed in the Pacific
or it is not. If it be needed why should
it not be sent, and if it be not needed
why should any one object to the cruise
any more than objection should have
been made short time ago to the man.
! ouvers of the British fleet in the West
Indies? Great Britain has indeed pos
sessions in the West Indies. as we have
possessions in the Pacific The cases
are analogous, but when the mighty
Dreadnought and heavy feet of bat

lection whatever was made by this
country or any othe1 country on this
continent, though is no yer,

| Britain and Venezuela.
The statement that the move is po-
iitical one may be dismissed with scan'
attention. This same talk is always in.

MR.. WOODWARD's STATEMENT

MIR. WOODWARD'S STATEMENT. i.
g. Caucasian representative called on
Mr. Woodward for his statement, and
as prefix Informed him that it was re-
ported that Garcenot was seriously in
jured and was at his home, where he
had the attention of two physicians.
Mr.. Woodward said he could not under
stand how Mr. Garcenot's injury had
developed so seriously and regretted to
hear it. He stated that he was drifting
slowly from Murphy street keeping to
the right and almost near the curbstone,
when he saw a man on a bike sixty feet
ahead of him. The man had a bun
die of bread under one arm and was
trying to steer his bike with his hand
unencumbered The man was riding
along the railroad track. On the right
of this man was a two-horse wagon
which had about crossed the track, with
several wagons in the streets on the
left-hand side of the street. He intend
ed to cut across the track but was
checked by the wagon. The bike was
wobbling and as he directed his course
slowly still keeping to the right side,
Garcenot wheeled toward him, when it
was struck by the left wheel of the auto.
He stopped his auto at once. / he man,
who he was told was Mr.. Garcenot, had
small bruise on his face and did not
appear to be hurt. He again expressed
regret over the accident, for which he
disclaimed all responsibility.
There has been no charge in this case,
and when queried there was no record
Of the accident at police headquarters.
