BATILESHIPS
70 BRENERTON
SECRETARY METCALF SAYS PU-
GET SOUND is THE PLACE TO
REPAIR THEM.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 13.-Secretary
of the Navy Metcalf returned to Wash
ington today after ten weeks vacation
He is pleased with the navy yard, Pug
get sound, and says many more men
are needed there, but the department
is unable to get them, owing to the
scarcity Of labor on the coast and
throughout the West. The secretary
said
yes, there is water enough about
Bremerton to accommodate not only
all our battleships, but all the battle
ships in the world. There is sufficient
anchorage and the fleet will have no
difficulty in that respect. the part of
the fleet selected to go there may be
all battleships. That is a matter yet
to be decided. Bremerton is the only
dock in a government yard where any
one of the big battleships can be
handled. There is sufficient water at
Mare island, but the dock there is not
large enough to accommodate a battle
ship"
Secretary Metcalf has practically de-
cided to submit to the attorney gem
eral for an opinion the question as to
whether the department can go on and
begin work at Bremerton with the ap-
preparation now available and provi-
sion of law as it now stands. The
attorney general will decide whether
a contract can be let for the work with
out a pumping apparatus and capstan,
which are essential for a complete
dock, and then go on and ask for an
additional appropriation to finish the
dock.
The secretary says he is not aware
Of just what disposition Acting Secre-
tary Newberry made of the dock mat
ter during his absence, but he will in
vetigate and probably refer the ques-
ton to the department of justice.
1t is practically certain lat none of
the battleships will stop at Portland.
P esident Roosevelt has decided to
leave the matter to the discretion of
Rear Admiral Evans commander-in-
chief OF the fleet when he reaches the
coast.
Admiral Evans is understood to OPP
pose any attempt to go to Portland.

prosecuted. 1 want him to run on
the Democratic ticket the next time.
He would be elected. You see the
pedestal is nearly completed; it sym
bolizes Mr.. Rockefeller's natural
strength, breadth and depth. 1 have
ordered the statue itself from a bronze
casting firm in New York City. No, I
will not tell you which firm, because,
like Mr.. Rockefeller, shun punblicity.
am spending 5000 on the statue and
pedestal. expect Mr.. Rockefeller and
his kin to be here for the unwilling
which may be next November, and If
not then in the early spring He has
assured me that nothing except bust
ness can keep him away. So 1 am
very hopeful he will be here, for he
testified the other day, you will re-
member, that he has not been attend
ing to business for some years. Any
how, whether or not he is here, the
monument will be unveiled"
Despite the difficulty in wording
epitaphs in past or present, Mr.. Lee
has quite a large collection from which
he expects to make a selection.
In letters Of bronze there may be
on one face of the pedestal:
"He never cared for money for
moneys sake"
On another face the following:
Christopher Columbus discovered
the country.
George Washington liberated the
country.
Abraham Lincoln united the coun-
try.
John D. Rockefeller illumined the
country"
And on a third face:
Millions burn oil; he burned money
for the sake Of charity and learning. &"

mass is one hundred feet.
