RUMORS
OF WAR
SOME PEOPLE BOUND
TO THINK so.
SENDING ATLANTIC FLEET TIC
PACIFIC WATERS TO SHOW
SPEED.

Oyster Bay N. Y, July 1.-THE sig
nificance of Rear Admiral Brownson's
addition to the somewhat meager in.
formation which has come from Presi-
dent Roosevelt regarding the contem-
plated two ocean maneuvers of the
Atlantic battleships, is regarded here
as having been overlooked in the COM
ment, expert and otherwise, which has
since been INDUCED in on both con-
tinents. Admiral Brownson came" to
Oyster Bay Friday to take lunch with
the president, processing entire ignOr-
ance of the maneuver plans. When he
left Sycamore Hill to take the train
for Washington, the admiral had one
thought which he wished emphasized
that it was desirable and important
to demonstrate to the world how
quickly the American navy could
transfer its fighting strength from one
ocean to the other.
This was distinctly an addition to
the presidents previous statement is.
sued through Secretary Loeb, wherein
the object Of the maneuver was said
to be an exercise movement for the
benefit of the navy, to perfect it's
training in fleet exercise on an ex-
tended scale, the purpose and effect
of the plan being for the benefit of
the navy alone.
What came from President Roose-
welt through Admiral Brownson is de-
cidedly different and much broader
design President Roosevelt has heen
consistent in advocating a larger navy
as the guarantee of peace between the
United States and all foreign powers.
Heretofore, a large navy has been
reckoned solely from the point of view
of the number of ships, their tonnage,
armor, guns and fighting capacity.
With this idea the American navy has
grown steadily, ship by ship.
A Peaceful Demonstration.
To the somewhat uninteresting ar
ray of ships and tonnage, President
Roosevelt now proposes to give the
world somewhat startling demon
stration of what the American navy is
capable fdoing to protect either or
both of the extended shores of the
United States. AS Admiral Brownson
said: There is no time like the pres
ent for such a demonstrations time
when the United States is at peace
with all nations"

A Peaceful Demonstration.
SHE BETRAYED TELLER RUNYAN
Mrs. Laura Carter Was Also Arrested
at Same Time in N, Y,

Mrs. Laura Carter Was Also Arrested
at Same Time In N. Y.
Chester B. Runyan, the teller of the
Windsor Trust company, who is al
legged to have stolen $96,317 from that
company, and Mrs. Laura Carter, the
woman who betrayed his hiding place
to the police after he had given her
a part of the stolen funds were ar
raigned in police court Saturday.
Where ls $4,000?
What had become of $4,000 of the
total company's stolen funds was still
a mystery. Runyan had in his pos
session when arrested $14,410. OF
the balance he said he had lost $4,000
in speculation in stocks before he dis
appeared from the office of the Wind
sor Trust company, that he had given
$4,000 to Mrs. Carter and that he be-
lieved she had taken $4,000 more
without his knowledge.
Mrs. Carter said she had deposited
all the money that Runyan gave her
in bank and that it would stay there
if she could keep it there. She de.
clared that she could have obtained
possession of all the money Runyan
had if she had tried hard enough.
Concerning her betrayal of Run.
vans hiding place she said that she
had felt sorry for Mrs. Runyan and
debated with herself whether to mott.
fly Mrs. Runyan Of her husbands
whereabouts or to give him up to the
police. She did the latter. she de-
clared, because she learned that Mrs
Runyan was i'll. Although she said
she had no hope Of securing the re
ward for Bunyan, she remarked that
she could make use of the $1,000 Of
fered. AS she, like Runyan, was un
der the charge of grand larceny and
the police have yet to recover about
$4,000 which Runyan declares she
has hidden, there is little chance Of
her securing the reward.
