PLUM FOR SAN DIEGO.
Plan to Make 1t Naval Station Has
Been Inaugurated.

Washington, July 30.-It is prob
able that another naval station will be
erected on the Pacific coast as a re-
suit of the forthcoming visit there of
Admiral Capps, chief naval construc-
tor of the navy, and Admiral Cowles,
chief of the equipment bureau The
former left Washington today for
New York, where he will be Joined by
Admiral Cowles and the two will
journey together to the Pacific coast
under special orders from the navy
department and make a thorough in
spection of the yards and stations on
that coast, and report upon the
future needs of the navy in that quar-
ter.
Admiral Hollyday. chief of the bu-
reau of yards and docks, will follow
these two officers to Fan Francisco, on
d similar errand. This will involve
very careful examination of the Mare
Island navy yard and that at Bremen
ton on Puget Sound. The resources
of the two navy yards. which are the
only ones on two thousand mile
stretch of shore land, are scarcely suf-
f1cient to make even the temporary re-
pairs and bookings that will be re-
Quired by Admiral Evans battleship
feet If it makes only a temporary visit
to the coast. Hence the inspection Of
these yards will probably result in
recommendations to congress at its
approaching session for a considerable
enlargement of the plants at both
places. The difficulty of procuring
skilled labor in these yards especially
a Bremerton, will also be considered
with view to making the conditions
more attractive to such labor. If by no
other means than by assuring the men
of continuous employment at good
wages.
But from naval point of view
probably of more interest is the pro-
position to establish a naval station at
San Diego. California, which will be
examined from all points Of view. by
the visiting admirals. The harbor at
this point possesses superior advant-
ages as a naval anchorage; there are
good railroad connections. insuring an
abundant supply of coal overland if
water communication is cut off in war
time, and the harbor can easily be
made impregnable. The distance of
San Diego, southwark from San Fran
cisco. and on the same line with the
projected Panama canal would also
make it an advantageous coa.ling
point. OF course, the consent of con-
gress would be necessary to render eff
fective its selection.

HARTMAN AFTER MEXICO.
Making Arrangements to Control All
| Traffic Going Trere

Monterey, Mexico. July 3O.-A high
official of the national lines of Mexico
is authority for the statement that the
rumor that Hartman was about to
complete arrangements with the big
Mexican merger to control the Mexican
passenger and freight traffic, was we'll
founded. He said that, while he could
not speak officially, he would not be
surprised to hear a any time that some
such contract had been made, by which
only such connections would be made
that the Hartman lines would control
the only through connections into the
republic.
Ell Paso, the gateway to the western
portion of the republic, Is already con-
trolled in that way, and the only way
the control of the rest of the traffic
could be effected is through Eagle Pass.
The soliciting agents of the various
lines throughout Mexico are hustling
for all the business they can secure,
but ALL as a rule, refuse to confirm the
rumor, although no one denies that
such negotiations are being made.

FOR AMERICAN MIDLAND.
Oklahoma Judge Says Money Has
Already Been Provided.

Guthrie, Ok, July 30.-That the
money is in sight for the construction
of the American Midland railroad,
which was chartered during the past
week with $50, 100000 capital stock,
is the statement made by Judge A. G.
c. Bierer, former associate justice
of the Oklahoma supreme court, who
Is the local attorney for the company.
The line, as routed. will be 400 miles
long, from Langdon, S. D., to Calves
ton, Tex, and the incorporators have
the necessary funds with which to
build it, according to Judge Bierer.
The road was originally chartered
by Kansas and Oklahoma parties, but
the route outlined seemed feasible,
and the promoters interested a New
York syndicate, consisting of Henry
Oppenheimer, Meyer Oppenheimer,
Charles Sendowsky and others, in
construction. Later things did not
progress to the satisfaction of the
New Workers, and they took over the
company's plans and secured new
charter, during the past week, for the
American Midland. The incorporates
are Henry Oppenheimer Meyer OPP
penheimer, Charles Sendowsky, Ere
mont Jerome Hoyle and Lamar Lyn-
don, all of New York. Under the Ok
lahoma law there must be three resi-
u. C. Guss, president of the Guthrie
National bank; Carl R. Havighorst.
cashier of the bank, and Benjamin F.
Hegler, jr.. a local attorney.
Said Judge Bierer yesterday: 1.-THE
route is as the crow flies from Lam
gon to Galveston, and when complet-
ed it will become the greatest carrier
of grain in the west. AS attorney for
the New Workers when they were fin
ancing the plans of the first company
chartered to build this line, I know
that the money was ready even then
to push the construction"
In addition to the main line, two
branches are provided for, one from
Winnsboro, Tex. to Shreveport, La.
and the other from Coalgate, I. T., to
Poteau. l. T.. penetrating the Indian
Territory coal and coke regions. The
road is routed southeast through Ok
lahoma and Indian Territory, via
Guthrie and Coalgate, to Galveston.

FELTON, DENIES 1T.
Says He Has No Intention of Resign
ing the Alton Presidency

Kansas City, Mo-, July 30.-"It is too
absurd to discuss. There is absolutely
no truth in it."
This was the statement of s. M. Eel

day, when questioned regarding his re-
ported resignation from the presidency
of the Chicago & Alton railroad.
"I have never had the remotest in
tention of resigning,'' said Mr.. FELTON,.
And, so far as 1 know now, never will
have. Any rumors to the contrary are
positively without foundation, and have
been repeatedly denied by me at every
opportunity. How the report that I
was to leave the Alton started 1 do not
know; all 1 can say is that it is with
out a grain of truth"
Mr.. FELTON, has just completed an in

a close, but also in the sense of bring
ing it to triumph for Righteousness.
The situation turned the series rather
into a campaign Of patriotism. 1t has
been brought home to many mlfds that
open disregard Of the laws of our state
is not thing to be looked upon with
complacency; that it does not cornport
with proper citizenship to make or toll
crate understandings with those who
will profit by law breaking, 80 that
while interest has been good through
out all the meetings of the day, 1t was
the mention of this one theme, Law
and Order" that called forth bursts OF
enthusiasm. The meeting In the after
noon for completing the organization
Of the League" was a climax. Some
things were done in the election Of off,
ers that might sound tame In q report,

pledges totaling nearly one thousand
dollars for the purpose OF law enforce

evangelist flung out the question,
How shall one determine whether we

proven by love for the family of God or

Gods affair shows relationship to Him
