Secretary Metcalf Confirms RepOr'
That Large Part Of Navy VIII
Go to the Pacific.
NO SIGNIFICANCE ne SAYS
Eighteen or Twenty Of Largest Bat
tleshlps VIII Go Around the
Horn on Practice Cruise
Drop War Talk.

Oakland. July 5.-Secretary OF tn
Navy Victor H. Metcalf, In an intel
view Thursday confirmed the repor
that large part Of the United State
navy will be seen In Pacific water
next winter. Eighteen or twenty o
the largest battleShips will com,
around Cape Horn on practice
cruise and will be seen in San Fran
cisco harbor.
MANY false Impressions have
gained circulation about the proposed
movement Of this part Of the United
States navy" said Secretary Metcalf
Il have held all along that there was
practically no significance to this
movement from a military standpoint.
I might have stated before leaving
Washington exactly what am say,
ing now. l thought as the cases con
cerned the people OF the Pacific
coast, today would be an appropriate
time to announce the exact plans.
ut is the policy Of the navy depart.
ment at the present time to keep the
fleet In American waters as much as
possible. 1t is also our policy, as has
been stated, to keep as large a mum
Der of battleships together as pos
sible. We might as well spend the
money that is devoted to our navy In
American ports as abroad. In the
past We have sent squadrons to var.
ious European nations with. less ad
vantage than by keeping them home.
Il have planned this cruise around
Cape Horn for the practice of the
squadron. How long they win spend
In, these waters cannot say at pres.
emit can promise the people Of Oak
land and San Francisco that they will
see one of the finest naval spectacles
ever witnessed in Pacific waters.
II hope the talk Of Japanese trou.
bles and of international differences
may be dropped by all Of the news
papers Of the country. There is moth
ing to produce any feeling except this
talk Of the newspapers. 1t is without
The story that Ambassa-
dor Aoki rs in dlsfavor with his own |

vention, | know of no reason at the
present time why japan and the
United States should not be on the

MANY HOMELESS IN NEW YORK
Unemployed Flock to City ana Make
New Problems for Charity
ORGANIZATIONS.

NEW YORK, Dec. %. with every
charity bed in the city occupied, lodging
houses overcrowded, Bowery saloons
turned into barracks and an array of
wanderers on the streets, the charity or
ganizations in New York are today help
lessly facing a situation which will reach
its climax with the first cold wave It
became known yesterday that $4,000
strangers were homeless In this city and
that at least half that number spend nights
on benches and floors wherever shelter is
afforded.
While the tide of the unemployed who
are foclSing into the city has not been
stemmed, the charity organization MEM
bers are making vain attempts to care for
those already here and the authorities in
charge of the charity organization head
quarters are planning measures which will
make the life of the wanderer less tempt
ing in New York.
In an effort to decide on a plan which
will bring the charitable organizations
together another meeting will be called
next week. when it is expected that
definite system will be inaugurated for the
homeless.

NO MORE CABINET OFFICERS
President Writes Health Association
that Another Department is
InadvisRble.

NEW YORK, Dec. 29.-The committee Of
100 on national health announced yesterday
that at meeting of the members letter
had been read from President Roosevelt
in which he opposed a national department
of health, to be under the direction OF a
new cabinet officer. President Roosevelt,
in his letter to Prof. Fisher, chairman of
the committee, which was made public
today, said:
| believe that we could with advantage
have bureau of health, to be put under
one OF the existing departments, but we
need no additional cabinet officers. on the
contrary, they would be a disadvantage.
While we do most urgently need re-
arrangement of the bureaus and divisions
of the present cabinet, we need also to
have every executive officer of the gov
eminent put under some cabinet officer
am utterly against the creation of any in
dependent bureau not under cabinet Of
ficer.
President Eliot of Harvard stated at the
meeting of the committee;
The committee of 100 is confronted by
dilema. IL less than a federal department,
with representation in the cabinet lit lie
will be accomplished. To seek to create
new department with a secretary in the
cabinet Is to undertake the impossible.
The commission is now generally COM
mitted to the advocacy of a, system of
health bureaus within an existing de-
partment. rather than a new department.

MITCHELL, S. D., Dec. 29.-(Speeial.)-
The limited school facilities of Mitchell.
made so by the greatly increased popu-
lation in the last five years, has claimed
the attention OF the Board of Education to
the extent that at it's meeting a resolution
was adopted requesting the mayor to call
a special election Immediately to vote on
the issuance of $4,000 in bonds for the pur-
pose OF erecting a new high school build
ing. The election will very likely be held
early IN February. ana there does not seem
to be any question but that the people will
vote the bonds. Mitehells first high school
building was erected I'm 1894 and at the
same time a south side ward building was
constructed. The school board is just fin
ishing another school building I'm the Sec
ond ward. TO cost about $4,000, and II will
be ready for the grade departments about
the middle of February. At present there
are 800 pupils enrolled IN the high school
department when there Is room for but 100,
and the teachers find It a difficult matter
to handle them properly

Performances the Same Rs
Isu-I.

KANSAS CITY, Mo, Dec 29.-The clos
ing of the Grand Opera house. which Is
managed by A. Judah. who has been the
leading spirit in the opposition to the
Sunday closing policy of Judge william
II. Wallace of the criminal court was the
feature of the situation in this city to-
day. An other theaters. except the Willis
Wood and Majestic, which capitulated
two Sundays ago. were open today as
usual. making It apparent that the con-
test between Judge Wallace and the
theaters is to be continued indefinitely. II
was thought that the surrender of Man
ager Judah would mean the closing of all
theaters ON Sunday, but the other man
ayers held conference and decided to
continue the fight
The present grand jury, which favors
Judge wallace's position, will go out Of
existence next Saturday. It win return
indictments next week against persons
who worked in theaters and others who
violated the Sunday law today Judge
Wallace has announced that another grand
jury with the same convictions regarding
the Sunday law will be called and that
there will bc no cessation i'm the Sunday
closing campaign. Deputy marshals were
busy to-day gathering evidence to be sub
mitted to the grand jury.
In consideration for the promise OF Man
ager Judah and the pool hall managers
to remain closed on Sunday in the future
Judge wallace has agreed not to press
the prosecution of persons who have been
indicted for working on Sunday in the
Grand theater or in the various pool halls
of the city.

CANAL WORK is STUPENDoUS
Concrete In Dams Would Make Houses
Enough for a Large
City.

WASHINGTON. Dec. 29.-The engineers
on the Panama canal are dealing in vast
figures these days and the Canal Record
just received. conveys in a graphic manner
an idea of the magnitude of the work to be
done upon the locks of the canal. It is
stated. for instance, that the amount of
concrete to be used in building these locks
would suffice to construct eight room city
houses of the generous size OF thirty by
thirty feet with two stories and basement
and with concrete floors and with concrete
roof to the number OF 22,S42. Allowing each
of these houses a seventy-five foot lot
they would make a continuous street from
New York to Philadelphia, with enough
houses left over TO make a row on one side
Of the street from Philadelphia 10 Washing
ton. The houses would furnish suburban
homes for 10000 people. or according to city
standards. would house a population equal
to that of-the city OF Minneapolis.

the wife he married at Lidderdale. Ia, and

that he beat the father of bis Lidderdale
