What Our Navy Can Do
Is the Object.
SHIFT OF THE FLEET
From The Atlantic to the Pacific Will
Furnish an Object Lesson that
the World Will Not Forget.

Oyster Bay, N. Y.-The signifi-
cance of Rear Admiral Brownson's
addition to the somewhat meagre in
formation which has come from Pres
ident Roosevelt regarding the con-
templated two-ocean maneuvre of the
Atlantic battleship fleet is regarded
here as having been overlooked in
the comment which has since been in
dulged in on both continents. Admiral
Brownson came to Oyster Bay Friday
to take lunch with the president, pro-
Tossing entire ignorance of the ma
neuvre plans.
When he left Sycamore Hill for
Washington the admiral had one
thought which he wished emphasized
that it was important to demon
strate to the world how quickly the
American navy could transfer its
fighting strength from one ocean to
the other. This was distinctly an ad.

Loeb, wherein the object of the ma

to perfect its training in fleet exer-

What came from President Roose-
welt through Admiral Brownson is a
different and much broader design.
President Roosevelt has been con-
sistent in advocating a large navy as
the surest guarantee Of peace between
the United States and all foreign
powers. Heretofore a large navy has

Roosevelt now proposes to give the
world a somewhat startling demon

capable of doing to protect either or

fleet, wherever it may go, is to be
brought back to the Atlantic and the
return is to be as much demonstra.

AN UNSATISFACTORY WITNESS.
John D. Rockefeller Testifies Before
Federal Judge Lands.

Chicago, Ill.-John D. Rockefeller,
president of the Standard Oil
Company of New Jersey, occupied the
witness stand in the United States
district court Saturday while Judge
Landis piled him with questions re-
garding the financial strength and
business methods of the corporation
of which he is the head.
Mr.. Rockefeller was a very willing
and an equally unsatisfactory witness.
He was ready to tell all that he knew,
but he said that he knew practically
nothing. The net result of his ex-
animation was that he believed that
during the years 1908, 1904 and 1905,
the period covered by the indictments
on which the Standard Oil Company
of Indiana was recently convicted the
net profits of the Standard Oil Com
pany of New Jersey were approxi-
mately 40 per cent. of an outstanding
capitalization of s100,000,000.
The investigation held by Judge
Lands was instituted by him for the
expressed purpose of determining
whether or not the Standard Oil Com
pany Of Indiana, which was convicted
OF violation of the law, was really
owned by the Standard Oil Company
of New Jersey; whether the Union
Tank line, whose cars were used for
the shipments made in violation of
law, was similarly owned, and also to
obtain an idea of the financial re-
sources of the convicted corporation,
in order to inflict fine proportioned
to the offense and the assets of the
convicted company.
1t was stated by officers of the
Standard Oil Company of New Jersey
that 1t owned the greater part of the
stock of both the Union Tank line and
the Standard OIL Company of Indiana.

San Francisco, Cal.-Eugene e.
Schmitz, thrice elected mayor of San
Francisco, was on Monday sentenced
by Judge Dunno to five years in San
Quentin penitentiary for extorting
money from keepers OF French res
taurants. Before passing sentence
the Judge made Schmitz stand up be-
fore crowded court room, while the
judge scathingly denounced him as
rascal. The audience cheered the
condemnation of Schmitz and threw
hats and canes in the air.
The sentencing of the convicted
mayor was in one respect without
parallel in the criminal annals of San
Francisco. Half dozen times Judge
Dunno was interrupted by Schmitz.
who protested against the delivery of
a lecture" instead of the pronounce
ment of Judgment. He accused the
court of unnecessarily humiliatlng
him. Once, replying to the prisoner

Schmitz dictated the following state

Judge Dunno continued for one
week the four extortion cases on
which Schmitz has not yet been tried.

A NEW PLAN OF ATTACK.
II Will be Used by the Government in
Proceedings Against the Tobae-
co Trust.

Washington, D. C.-The department
of justice has adopted new
and highly important plan in connec.
ton with its proceedings against the
so-called tobacco trust.
After asking the court to issue sub
penas to defendants requiring them to
appear and answer the allegations
contained in the bill and asking that
the monopoly complained of be declar
ed Illegal and in violation of the Sher.
man anti-trust act, the department in
fits petition, which probably will be
filed in New York within few days,
will ask the court, If in its judgment
the interests and the facts as disclos-
ed demand such action, that receivers
be appointed to take charge of the
business and administer it in harmony
with law.
Such course, 1t is said, IL adopted
would require the receiver taking
charge of corporation to administer
its business with a view to gradual
disintegration of such monopoly, that
is to say, such receiver in administer
ing such business would from time to
time be expected to sell and dispose
of the different property units compos-
ing such monopoly in such a way as
to preserve all the essential rights of
the stockholders and at the same time
ultimately give to the geneDNl public
the benefit of competition between
separate and independent corpora
tions or businesses.
This plan has never before been
adopted in the prosecution of trusts.

CONDITIONS
IN FLORIDA
Industrial and Financial
/! Situation Now Most Sat
/ isfaCtory Everywhere.

The TamTa Times in the following
, interesting and very truthful manRor,
thus reviews the Industrial and finan-
cial condition of Florida at the pres
; ent time:
The industrial and financial situa-
tiOn in Florida IS following very close
ly the lines laid down by the Times,
when the prediction of a panic began
ITO be designedly circulated many
weeks ago. There is a slight falling
off in the volume Of exchanged bust
mess, but none worth mentioning or
tAseriously considering IN production.
There is a small decrease in the rapid
ity Of exchanges, a squaring up of
accounts and 4 general adjustment of
Ffbusiness with a view 10 present safe
'ty and future security.
1.-The same number Of peOrle are
siGt work as IN perfectly normal times
sDreceding the effort to demoral:ze
Cuisines, they are receiving the same
s1wages in cash with the same regular
atty, and the fundamental basis of busi-
Esness is as firm and steady as ever
kSome few contemplated enterprises
aare being delayed, rs is always the
scase at this season of the yeac-cir-
lscums tanceS that would not attract the
P4east attention at any other period
sand are unworthy Of it now.
There IS no decrease in the value
Etof property anywhere, no falling off
IN the revenue from investments,
land, in fact, not the slightest indica-
Stion of any general or permanent
sshrinkage. The railroads are doing
their usual summer business The
mines and naval stores camps are
handling their usual output, the
orange crop is being contracted ear
1ier than ever before and At higher
prices. Cattle are asaia beginning 10
move freely. and the only soft spot
in the entire surface is the peculiar
and not generally accepted declara-
ton that lumber and timber arc iiras-
Eging for want of a sufficient market
THAT, however. bears SUch a small
.relation to the entire sum OF business
saS to be of small mportauce-eveH
IF the worst were true And it is
more than cOunterbalanced by the en-
tering of larger quantities of artificial
stone and brick into building opera
lions.
Scanned carefully from one end to
the other, there is not a feature N
the entire trcmOr of uneasiness. The
present acknowledged slight dullness
on the surface of things is due to the
silence of people who have hereto
fore done more blowing ~han actual
work, who are an accompaniment. If
business rather than a par- of it.
Florida is all right, and You may de-
pend on it.

advanced to about "a per cent. and so
on until when the vessel was ready for
launching, she was a magnet of con-
siderable power, having about 81 per
cent of the horizontal magnetic power
of the earth Then, when launched,
the vessel was swung into a position
very nearly Numerically opposite to
that in which it was built The Re
suit was that the magnetic power de-
creased from day to day-consfderab-
ly quicker. it may be mentioned, than
it had grown-unhl after 20 days it
was only 15 per cent of the earth s
power. AS consequence or this the
standard compass on the flying bridge
went to sea without compromising
magnet, and the steering compass,
which was also on the flying bridge,
only needed one compromising mag
net. 1t is interesting TO compare these
results wit hthose obtained with a sis
ter vessel When launched the mag
netic conditions OF the second vessel
were found to be practically the same
a sthose of the first The vessel, how
ever. was not swung. and her head
during completion pointed sf exactly
the same direction as during building.
The magnetic power continually in
creased and finally reached a value of
IS per cent. of the earth's power. Con-
sequently no less than seven compen-
sating magnets were required in the
compass, this, of course, impairing its
efficiency.
