TWO NAVlES MAY
BE new PROGRAM
Ono For Each Ocean Bound
airy.

WASHINGTON, d. c., October Is
-(SpeciaD-It is now said to be
the purpose of the administration to
urge the addition of battleships and
cruisers until there will be two nav
les, one in the Atlantic and the other
in the Pacific, powerful enough to
meet any emergency in those waters.
This two ocean navy scheme meets
with strong support and it is prob
able that the influence of President
Roosevelt will be exerted this win
ter to have Congress adopt it.
There has been some talk that
in order to further impress the coun-
try and Congress with the need of
two navies, there might be a demon
stration, entirely friendly of course,
by Germany sending a fleet to the
Atlantic Coast this Winter.

MAMMOTH PIER
FOR FAMED RESOR I

ATLANTIC CITY, N. j. Oct. Is.
(SpeciaD "A million and half dol
lar pier and convention and exhibit
ton hall are being planned for this
resort. The plan, as outlined, is to
rebuild the pier, and extend it beyond
the sound of the breakers, where a
great hall, on concrete foundations
will be erected In order to derive
some income from the enterprise, the
projectors will rent space for perma-
nent exhibits to car builders and
commercial firms.
The pier will be managed by a
corporation, and the city is not to
have anything to do with it. 1t is
the only pier which can have the
right under existing laws to operate
a business enterprise seaward of the
boardwalk. The proposed pier will
be 5000 feet long

LUMBERMEN HAVE
KICK" ON RAILROADS
In Mississippi Cry Is For
More Cars.

JACKSON, MISS, October 15.-
Especially Manufacturers are COM
planning that they are not getting a
square deal from the railroads; that
their requsitions for freight cars are
ignored while the common carriers
divert the rolling stock to points
where needed to haul the cotton crop
to market, chiefly because the cotton
traffic brings the roads larger vol
ume of revenue.
Nearly all intra-state lines have
orders outstanding for new rolling
stock, but deliveries have been de-
layed beyond the dates stipulated in
the contracts. The Queen and Cres-
cent road has orders outstanding for
several large engines, to be used in
passenger and freight traffic, two of
which for use on the A. & V, division
will probably be delivered during the
early part of next month.
The lumbermen claim that the
stocks are accommodating beyond yard
capacity on account of the car short
age, and this necessarily involves
heavy financial loss.

CLARK & co.'s COTTON LETTER.

NEW YORK, October 15.-Liver-
pool made a game response to the
frost reports in the belt and at one
time ruled 10 points above the prev
ious close. For some as yet I'M
explained reason our market failed
to recognize the advance in the for
eign market and traders were forced
to accept SO as the opening on Jan
uary before a sale could be effected.
Rumors Of all descriptions filled the
air and many causes were given for
the disastrous break which followed
the opening, but the best reason adj
vanced was renewed selling by the
Price crowd who are now supposed
to be acting in the interests of the
Standard Oil Company.
Boiled down reduced to the last
analysis and shorn of all theories
which at best are but shadows, the
general weakness of the market is
directly attributable to the failure of
the South to support the market
when its very existence hangs in the
balance. AS soon as the drastic laws
are modified and speculative support
placed in touch with the great ex-
changes we shall witness a change.
Spots continue in splendid demand,
and the holding movement Is being
felt by buyers who have commitments
as yet untitled and no general weak
ness has developed in the spot di-
vision While temporarily smother
ed by an avalanche of bear orders,
cotton is still mighty monarch, and
not yet, but soon, will convince the
bears they have sold themselves into
hole that is deep and wide.

REMAINS OF ZEBER
BURIED IN TEXAS
Man Killed on SeabOard
Carried There.

Undertaken j. H. Beard returned
to Americas yesterday from San An
tonic, where he went ten days ago
to carry home the body of R. ]. Zeber
the white man killed, among others,
in a freight wreck on the Seaboard
Railway recently.
Mr.. Beard made the long journey
of 1900 miles all right and delivered
the body to relatives of the deceased,
who, while they did not examine it,
knew it was Zeber's.
This decision was reached after
Mr.. Beard had described marks upon
the body, and from letters found in
his pocket.
Zeber was buried from the under
takers parlors, Mr.. Beard being re-
quested to direct the funeral.
The deceased had an aunt, Mrs.
Williams, and sister living in San
Antonio. Zeber, Mr.. Beard was in
formed, had no settled occupation,
but made long trips whenever de-
sire to rove about seized him, and
this was quite often.
Zebers $4,000 accident policy may
not be paid at all.
Mr. Beard was informed while in
Texas, that, under terms and condi-
lions set forth in the policy, the hold
er thereof was barred from riding
upon freight trains, the company
holding itself free from liability I'M
der any such conditions.
Even had Zeber been a passenger
upon the freight train, paying his
fare, the company would not be liza
BILE, Mr. Beard was informed.
AS it was, Zeber was riding the
rods" of the wrecked train, contrary
to the laws of Georgia. Despite this
fact Mr.. Beard thinks Zeber's rela-
tives may sue for the amount of the
policy, likewise may sue the Seaboard
for his death.
The Seaboard Railway Co. defray-
ed all the expenses incident to Zeber's
death; paid for the casket and en-
balming, and sent the body to Texas
under escort.

FIRE in COTTON AT
DEPOT IN COBB
Several Bales Are Singed
There Yesterday.

Fire was discovered at an early
hour yesterday morning among a
lot of cotton bales stored on the
depot platform, at Cobb station, near
Americus. Citizens there came to the
rescue and fought the flames so we'll
that only three bales were burned to
any considerable extent, though
other bales were singed over. 1t is
not known how the fire originated,
whether by a spark from a passing
engine or match applied by an in
cendiary. The three bales burned to
an extent belonged to Mr.. A. j. Rob
erts, it is said, and were placed there
for shipment to Americas.

MORE PUNISHMENT
FOR CATTLE THIEVES

PAWNEE, OKLA, October Is
iSpeciaD Stringent laws providing
for a more severe punishment of
horse and cattle thieves will be de-
manded by the Oklahoma-Indian Ter
ritory Anti-Horse Thief association,
which will hold its annual conYen-
ton here tomorrow. Under the pres
ent territorial law, many professional
horse thieves who have been cap
tured by members of the association
have been sentenced to only year
in prison. Such penalties, the mem
bers of the association believe, are
not sufficient to act as a deterrent to
thievery. The body now includes in
its membership considerable pro-
portion of the leading farmers and
stockmen of the new state, fifty new
lodges having ben organized in the
last year. The national convention
of the association was held recently
in Enid, Oklahoma.

FLYING MACHINE
NEARLY COMPLETED
Prof. Bell Working on Mot
or Driven Graft.

paddock, B. c., Oct. Is. Regarding
aerial navigation experiments being
conducted here. Prof. Alexander Ora
ham Bell today made the following
statement:
eve are nearly ready to put a
large machine into the air, and it is
possible that within the next week
or SO we may fly the machine as a
kite, with sand bag of the weight
of man. If the experiment is sue
cessful we shall place man in the
machine without motor, and allow
him to glide down to the water from
an elevation.
Il don't think it would be safe to
start at once to put a man into the
air in a motor-driven machine, but
think it wiser to begin by raising
him into the air in the machine, blown
as kite and toWed by motor"
Prof Bells experiments are now
being conducted under the auspices
of the recently established Aerial
Experiment association.

SHARP LOSSES IN
COTTON VALUES
Local Spot Prices Reduced
is of Gent.

1t was a case of marching down
hill again in the cotton markets yes
terday, after the squirt of Monday
Not only were all of the gains of the
previous session dissipated, but a
lower level was reached. The scare
which the reports of frost brought
had worn away over night and the
markets opened at declines general
ly, some positions being hit with con-
siderable severity Liverpool spots
sold points higher while the futures
market was for time higher than
the previous close, though the final
was at losses. The American markets
gradually weakened under the weight
of liberal selling, credited as usual
to the Price crowd. The close was
steady, New York's net losses for the
active months being 20 to % points
New Orleans at the last was 20 to 30
points below the closing for Monday.
The following are the estimates for
today: Houston $500 to $500; New
Orleans $500 to 1000; Galveston
5000 to 5000 Savannah's receipts
were again very large in proportion
to other ports, tho figures being 49,
255. Spots in that market were
marked off is of cent.
The Americas spot market ruled
rather quiet. Early in the day sales
were made on the basis of IL is cents
for good middling but little later
sales were made on a basis of Is
cent lower. The demand at the de-
cline was however sufficient to alb
sorb all offerings.
The receipts by wagon for the day
were 329 bales.

Japan's Ship Yards Busy.

Just now particular attention is
being paid to Japan and what she is
doing in the way of naval construc-
ton. She has three big shipyards
that are being operated night and
day, where construction is being
rushed. 1t is reported by our naval
observers that Japan is rivaling the
great English naval yards, where high
class armored cruisers can be turn
ed out in little over years time.
The Japanese are about to build
a big steel plant for the manufac-
ture of armor plate and guns. She
will be altogether independent in the
matter Of constructing ships and all
sorts of war material. These facts
will be pressed upon the attention
of Congress to show that the United
States cannot afford to be behind
other great Powers in naval matters

An Object Lesson

This might serve, it is said, to
show how the United States would be
dependent upon some European pow
er for help in case some other
power should take notion to pick a
quarrel with us while our battle
ships were in the Pacific.
President Roosevelt is expected to
revise his naval program of last year.
He is expected to recommend to Con-
gress a big increase in the navy and
to go beyond his declaration in his
annual message that it be kept at its
present strength by replacing obso-
lete ships with new ones.
