HIGH OFFICIAL TALKS
SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL

WASHINGTON, June 19.-The report
that the navy general board had recon-
mended the transfer of the entire bat
tleship fleet to Pacific waters and that
Secretary Metcalf had asked the presi-
dent for authority for such an order
was useful today in loosening the
tongues of navy authorities. They de-
MED the report and explained why it
could not be true At the same time
they admitted that the Pacific was the
proper place for the battleships under
existing conditions.
1T is not true that we have ordered
the battleship fleet or any battleships
at all to the Pacific coast" said high
naval authority today. TT would be
folly to send the entire fleet, for there
are no facilities on the coast for main :.
tanning it. The squadron we havethere
now is short Of coal, and we are send
ing lot of coal in British ships from
Lamberts point. There are only two
navy yards on the Pacific coast, and
they are pretty well crowded with work
even now. They would be incapable of
caring for another fleet. We are forced
TO send the hattleships of the Atlantic
fleet to all the navy yards along this
coast. and even then they have to walt
too long for overhauling and repairs.
I'VE need another navy yard and dry
dock on the Pacific coast, say at San
Diego, so that when there is Pacific
feet 1t can be cared for. Sooner or
later feet of battleships will have to
be maintained on each coast. but there
is no move on now to dispatch the only
fleet we have to the Pacific
Secretary. Metcalf viii leave on june
% for California on his annual vaca-
tion. He will inspect Mare island and
Bremerton navy yards while on the
coast. He said today that this inspec-
tion was planned merely because he
would be on the. coast any way. He is
not outlining new recommendations
concerning either yard.

SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALI


CHICAGO. June 1s.-"Ground."
Say when"
Now"
When these three phrases and an
other word not known to outsiders
fash over the wires of the Western
Union and Postal Telegraph companies,
10000 union operators will close their
KEYS and walk out. 1t is the inten-
ton of the union officials to call the
strike in some city OF the second class,
most likely Pittsburg, and from that
point spread out as fast as the union
telegraphers come into contact with
the union men employed in the strike
city.
officials at strike headquarters to-
day were positive in denying the loca-
tion of the first clash until Pittsburg
was mentioned. Then they hesitated
and automatically evaded the ques-
ton. The appearance of Vice Presi-
dent Konenkamp in New York and the
dropping from sight of President
Samuel J. Small were taken to mean
that the two leaders had exchanged
places and that President Small was
in Pittsburg preparing to strike the
first blow.
Buffalo is the logical city to follow
Pittsburg. East and west trunk lines
of both companies are connected
through Buffalo and Pittsburg by re-
peaters. and with these two offices tied
up communication between east and
west virtually would be at an end. 1t
was intimated that the telegraphers, in
the event the strike were called, would
ask for government interference under
an old law which gives the war de-
partment the right to operate the tele-
graph system of the country when
such operation is deemed essential to
public safety and the peace of the ma
ton
NEW YORK, June 19.-The general
executive board of the commercial
teiegraphers' union Of America has
approved a strike against either or
both the Western Union and Postal
telegraph companies. This announce
ment was made today by Deputy Presi-
dent S. j. Konenkamp of the union.
The date for the beginning of the
strike is left to President Small. but
the first move is expected to take place
in the next week or 10 days.
Notwithstanding the strike an
nouncement. Commissioner of Labor
Neill is continuing his Investigations
with view to an adjustment of the
controversy. He was in consultation
today with officers of the civic fedora

There are persistent rumors that
James 7. McCleary will again be a
candidate for the Republican nomi-
nation for congress in the second
district. The Journals Washington
correspondent says that should the
national convention declare for tar
iff revision, "Mr. McCleary will
accept that declaration and abide by
it for he is a Republican. Any priv
ate views he may have on this
question will be made secondary to
the position taken by the party as a
whole" Which sounds decidedly
funny. The little schoolmaster on a

McCleary to try and catch up with
party sentiment in his district in
that way, in our opinion.

Autoaraphs and Holoaranhs.

"An autograph" said an antlquary.
''is worth nothing, while a holograph
may be worth $1,000 OF more. An au-
tograph Of a man is his simple sigma
ture. His holograph IS one Of his
signed letters. and its value depends
on its interest. Some men are such
fools that they think autographs valu-
able and holographs worthless. I know
a man who found in his grandfather's
chest a lot Of important letters OF
Franklin, Washington. Aaron Burr
Hamilton. Andre and jefferson. H(
read these letters; then he burned
them, first cutting out the signatures.
FOR the signatures he got so cents
apiece or therenbouts. For the letters
in their entirety he would have got
from 800 to $500 apiece By this
loss of about $4,000 the man learned
the difference between an autograph
and holograph." New Orleans Times
