Argument.

San Francisco, CAL, Nov. Coon
gresham Everis A. Hayes, Of the
fifth California district. Is preparing
bill which he will submit to the
next congress, providing for an ap-
preparation that will be sufficient to
finance the beginning Of the work
on a Pacific naval base of dimensions
large enough to adequately accom-
modate a fleet of warships.
He is also a strong advocate of a
Japanese exclusion law and his
speech on that subject on the floor
Of the house at the last session
made him a leading figure on the
Pacific coast.
In discussing the need Of a naval
base on the western coast, he said:
Why It Is Necessary.
considering a Pacific naval base
from the standpoint that we may be
plunged into war some day, 1t is i'm
perative that we should have it. Con-
sidering It from the standpoint that
we never want war, 1t is absolutely
necessary, in my mind, that Pa
cffic base come into existence at the
very earliest possible moment. / al
ways believed preparedness for war
to be the best method of discour-
aging the hospitality of other ma
tions.

ELEVATOR BURNS WITH
Loss EXCEEDING

Three Mills. Forty Homes. and
100000 Bushels of Grain
Are Destroyed.
BLAZE BURNED FOR
OVER TWELVE HOURS

Duluth, Mimi, Nov. 9.--F'ire which
started In the Great Northern eIeva-
tor at Superior, Wis, about o'clock
last night was still burning today af-
ter having destroyed the elevator.
three flour mills, forty homes seven
thousand bushels of grain. two
scows and two tugs. The loss is es-
timated at three million dollars. One
man Is believed to have perished
The origin OF the fire is unknown.
The fire was one of the most
spectacular ever seen in the state. 1t
had gained such headway before it
was discovered by a night watchman
at the elevator that the entire inter-
ior of the building was soon a mass
of flames. The blaze evidently start
ed at the rear of a hoisting shaft and
pushed up the flue like aperture to
the top of the structure. 1t was i'm
possible for the firemen to combat
the flames because OF the height of
the structure and the fierce heat
which they encountered.
Spread Over Large Area.
AS soon as the elevator was found
to be afire beyond control, the sur
rounding residents began to move
their goods and by this means a
large number of them saved much
of their household belongings and
valuables. There was a closely con-
gested district around the eleva-
tor and mills, occupied by workmen
and their families.
The blaze spread rapidly and If
teen minutes after the first alarm,
two of the big mills nearby were
afire and explosions of dust In
their bins carried the fire over the
structures. The third mill and the
residences burned before the fire
could be controlled.
A high wind aided the flames and
had il not been for a change in the
direction Of the breeze, the destruc-
ton would have been much great
er The fire Is still burning in the
grain pits and the ruins are too hot
to explore for the supposed missing
man, but the danger of conhagra-
ton Is over.

SHE IS RELATED TO
FORMER PRESIDENT
In Obtaining a Divorce at Naples.
She Tells Story Of Her Wrongs
and Also Learns That Her
Husband is an Ex-
Convict.

Naples, Italy Nov. 9.-The Coun-
tess di Castelmenardo, who was
Miss Edith Van Buren, of New
York. has obtained a legal separa-
ton from her supposedly titled hus-
band. The beautiful countess ap-
peared in the court of appeals here
and testified to her husbands cruel
ty and rapacity.
1t then became known publicly
for the first time that the counts
title was bogus when he married her
in Nice seven years ago. His Amer
lean wife, to prevent scandal, spent
$4,000 to gain the count certain
legal right to the name he had ap-
propriated. Such affairs can be ar
ranged here.
Learned He Was an ex-Convict.
But, bad as she knew him to be.
the countess received a frightful
shock when the chief of police of
Naples testified that the man with
whom she mated had undergone
penal servitude and is still subject
TO police surveillance.
THE mans name is Gennaro Yes
In emphasizing her demand for
separation the countess testified that
her husband represented himself to
be Count Vessichio George di Cas-
teimenardo. After their. bethrothal
she received from Naples-prob-
ably from a confederate of his
excellent testimonials respecting her
husbands family. She was assured
that his mother was the Duchess di
Belvidere Gludditta Georga di Cas-
telmenardo and that the count was
beyond reproach
Bride Paid Honeymoon Expenses.
The countess, who restrained her
emotion with dignity. went on tG
testify that her honeymoon had
scarcely begun when she realized
her true character. on one or an
other pretense he induced her to
pay all the expenses of their bridal
trip. Soon acknowledging himself
penniless he got money from her
and squandered it in gambling and
fast living,
Finally, at the urgent request OF
her brother the American consul al
Nice, she caused his arrest in Genoa
last year. He was convicted of un-
faithfulness and cruelty and was
sentenced to three months impris-
onment and TO pay the costs of the
action. The count, aware that the
chief of police was to testify. did
not defend the suit for separation

made and supplies of all kinds Sc
cured
"It is a ridiculous fact that at the
present time there are but two navy
yards on the entire Pacific coast,
and only one of these, the Puget
sound navy yard, has drydock
large enough to accommodate our
largest cruisers and warships Nor
Is 1t less amazing that neither of
these navy yards have railroad facil-
tiles. All supplies must be handled
and rehandled while being shipped
In on steamers. An illustration of
the uselessness OF the drydock at the
Mare island yard occurred only a
couple of weeks ago. The cruiser
California was at Mare island, but
the water at the entrance of the
drydock was so shallow the ship
could not enter. The California had

Of War2 Certainly not.
Better EortificatiOns.
Besides, a central base such as /
have described, we need better for
tifcations all along the Pacific coast
and in our island possessions; more
drydocks and increased facilities at
Puget sound; naval shore station at
San Diego, In the Hawaiian Islads,
and At Olongapo or elsewhere in the
Philippines.
The visit Of the Atlantic squad
ron 10 Pacific waters is an excellent
thing, because It will demonstrate
our unpreparedness to care for a
fleet. Unpre reparedness to care for a
fleet Is unpredaredness for war, and
unpreparedness for war is weakness
as a nation.
81 cannot now give all the reasons
why we should have a Pacific naval
base and a big Pacific fleet. Our
commerce Is gradually shifting from
the east coast to the west. and we
need ships to protect and attract it.
The wealth and population of the
Pacific coast states have grown tre-
mendously in the last few years, and
these interests are entitled 70 pro-

Tragedy Which Ended

self Up.

New York, Nov. 9.-After pursu-
ing her with unwelcome attentions
for ten years, Joseph Schmilowitz, a
cabinet maker of Cleveland, Ohio,
today shot and killed Mrs. Dora
Stebel in the presence of her two
children in Brooklyn. Before her
marriage Mrs. Stebel is said to have
accepted Schmilowitz's attentions as
suitor. For ten years he has
been constantly writing her and had
so persisted in his anoyances that
the woman, with her husband. had
been compelled TO flee from Phila-
delphia to Boston and thence to
Brooklyn in hope of eluding him.
Schmilowitz submitted to arrest
saying:
ut is a life for a life with me.
/ don't care what happens to me
now"
Followed Her TO Brooklyn.
After being compelled by the un-
welcome attentions and threats of
Schmilowitz to leave Cleveland, the
Stebel family moved to Philadelphia
where for time they were not
bothered by his attentions, but he
finally traced them through letters
to mutual friends, and again took
up his correspondence with Mrs.
Stebel. She refused to answer his
letters and his attentions finally be-
came so violent that she besought
her husband to again fee, and with
out notifying anyone OF their In
tentions, they went 70 Boston.
In a few weeks after they arrived
| In that city, Schnitowitz found their
address, coming to Boston after he
discovered their flight from, Phila-
delphia. He learned their where

furnished to the station agent from
whom they bought their tickets, he

them on criminal charge.
They Flee Again.
When the wife learned of his pres
ence In the city, she besought her
husband again to leave and so inn
bued had he become with the idea
that Schmilowitz ment harm to his
wife, he Immediately consented to
the removal and they quietly went
to Brooklyn.
They had resided In Brooklyn for
some time, and had been safe from
Schmilowitz' Interruptions until to-
day, when he suddenly walked into
their home during the absence of
Stebel.
Mrs. stebel ordered him to leave
the place, but he sat down and told
her neither he nor she would leave
IL alive unless she consented to ac-
company him.
Shot Her Down.
Mrs. Stebel Indignantly refused his
advances, and was attempting to
leave the room with her two chill
dren when Schmilowitz, with a
| curse, drew a revolver and fired
shots into her body. The children
ran screaming into the street and
when neighbors, attracted by the
| sound of the shots. arrived with an
| officer, they found Schmilowitz
calmly sitting beside a table with his
revolver by his side, looking at his
victim with no concern whatever.
The Stebel family had become
popular during their residence here
and threats of lynching are freely
made. The slayer is being closely
guarded and mob would be un-
| able to reach him.

guilty to theivery In this city, must
go to the penitentiary, according TO
the declaration made today by States
Attorney Healy. Counsel for Mrs
Romadka announced today that
when the trial comes up next week
he would permit the plea of guilty
made by the woman when first ar
raigned TO stand.
'If she pleads guilty." said Healy.
'she will undoubtedly be sentenced

charged with the theft of a number
of articles, she made a confession to
the police, and before her husband
arrived with counsel for her, she
pleaded guilty In court. Later her at
torney asked that this plea be
changed and she was permitted to
plead not guilty.
With the showing that the police
are able to make, however, II is be-
lieved by the officials that this plea
will again be changed to guilty and
that her husband will endeavor 10
show that she Is insane.
Did Not Need to Steal.
There was no need for the woman
to steal as her husband gave her
unlimited spending money but she
left Milwaukee some days ago and
/ came 10 Chicago without informing
her husband, who did not know
where she was until her arrest took
place.
She committed several rather sur
prising stunts at hotels and restaur-
ants previous to her arrest. and there
are said TO have been others, prob
ably including men, In the case.
The woman is now nervous
