FOR TRAINING SHIP
MAYFLoWER MAY GO TO .sr,
 LOUIS FOR USE OF MARINES.
City on the Mississippi to Be Given the Facilities for Practical Train Ing of the Men Of the
 State Organization.

If the navy department were asked which city of the country supplied the greater number of recruits for the navy. 1t would reply without hesita- tion, that that distinction belonged to St. Louis And this fact has led the department to decide to send train ing ship to that city and the choice, 1t Is said, lies between the Gloucester and the Mayfower, with the chances in favor of the latter boat.
 Aboard the training ship which will visit St. Louis. life in the navy. as 1t really exists. will be demonstrated. with the hope of inducing young men of the city to choose the navy as a career and to encourage the Missouri and Illinois naval reserves in their. work on the banks of the Mississippi. Competent officers will be always aboard to show visitors about the yacht and explain the many phases of marine life, so vaguely compre- hended by the people of the interior.
 In the days of yore, when bowling 'boarders" swarmed upon the frigates with dirks and muskets-in the day, of John Paul Jones. men who would fight aboard an American battleship, needed brawn, arm muscle and daring. To-day brains count in the navy, as well as personal strength, and the men who aim the guns and direct the order of battle are as scientific and learned as in any branch of the government service.
 Each man must be somewhat of . specialist. The collier in the bowels of the ship is trained. the cook is trained, the common seaman is trained and the artisans-men are placed in the brooches which best fit them and each may become proficient in his work and look forward to ad. vancement.
 The marine reserves of Missouri, whose quarters are on the north levee of the city, while an important and commendable feature of the state, are handicapped because of limited quar- ters and means. It was partly in the interest of the reserves, that citizens advocated the sending of training ship to St. Louis.
 The reserves occupy dummy ship. which was on display at the worlds fair and. although 1t is visited by great many people. the young men of the city. who are eligible to enlist In the navy. would rather see the man, euvers aboard regular watercraft.

EX-DETECTIVE BAKER SEEKS
REINSTATEMENT
Civil Service Commissioners Take the
Case Under Amusement After
Hearing of Applicants
Past Good Work

Former Detective James M. Bakers
application for reinstatement engrossed
the time of the civil service commission
at yesterdays session, and the case was
taken under advisement.
Baker was a valued member of the
force, but resigned when threatened
with deratement as a result of a con-
troversy in the department few years
ago.
Baker on several occasions, it is
charged, telephoned headquarters, fall
ing to correctly state from what point
he called UP. For this he was charged
with making false reports. His friends
claimed that he had pressing business
to attend to and that the subterfuge
was justified by circumstances.
AS Baker had been out Of the depart
ment several years, his friends argued
before the commission yesterday that
his punishment had been severe enough.
Baker had been in the employ Of the
postal department since. He once cap
tured a thief while on duty once in a
postoff1ce division. He also went to
Mexico for time.
AS he Is past 40 he cannot re-enter
the department as patrolman.
Police officials are quoted as saying
that they will interpose no objections
IL the commission sees fit to order re-
instatement in the civil service.
Only one Of the police commissioners
voted against reinstatement at last
weeks meeting of their board.

JUSTICES SALARY
VOUCHERS HELD.

There are two men working several
hours day in support of the consti-
tuition of the state of California, but
receiving not a single cent in return
for their services.
These two remarkable men are JUS
tices of the Peace e. e. Selph and Jack
Summerfield, whose vouchers for their
monthly salaries were yesterday held
up by mandamus proceedings.
AS result of the expected trouble
in the justices offices, Attorney Appel
yesterday served notice on the county
recorder stating that as citizen he
commanded the auditor not to honor
the requests of the two recently ap-
pointed justices.
Those justices, whose offices were
created by the last legislature, have
been working for the past month. At
the end of the month, since it was
their first month in office, their fees
had not amounted to any great sum,
while the two other justices, who had
been regularly elected at the last cleo
ton. had taken in heavy fees and were
not content to accept the salary plan.
Refuse to Give Up Fees
Justice Pierce took in fees to- the
amount of $500 last month End JUS
tice Stephens was not t.sr behind.
while in comparison, the first months
work of the other justices did not
appear favorably. Justices Pierce and
Stephens did not turn in their fees,
neither did they turn in a request for
their voucher for salary. Under the old
system the fees would have been theirs.
Under the new system they are or
dered to turn their fees over to the
county and receive salary instead.
The other two justices turned over
their fees and also their warrants for
their salaries.
But those salaries cannot now be
paid until the superior courts have
taken up the mandamus proceedings
and found out whether or not the act
of the legislature in cutting off the
fees systens was legal or not.
In the meantime, Justices Pierce and
Stephens are keeping their fees await
ing the outcome, while Justices Selph
and Summerfeld are attending to their
daily work with hopes of getting their
salaries at some time.

the most sanguine booster in the min

which has been discovered three miles
east Of Lee-California continues to i'm

The presence of machinery and a
pipe line alone Is required to put the
water at the service of the inhabitants
of the district, for at present some of
the wagons that have been hauling
from Rose wells have begun to get
their supplies from the Lee we'll, and
the water not only is drinkable but is
decided improvement over the sup
ply which has been carted across the
desert or packed over the mountains
from Furnace creek.
In the mines work has been pushed
rapidly. The gallows frame of the
Hayseed Is up and the men are wait
