Wanted His STTaSh.
(By ". T. Meier.)

Old Mother Hubbard
She went out and rubbered
And found a Hubbard Squash.
Old Father Hubbard
He went to the cupboard
And ct it all up, b'gosh,
Then old Mother Hubbard
She sat down and blubbered,
And cried till she was hoarse.
Then old Father Hubbard
Said he'd have his grub or he'd
Go and get divorce.

SIGNALS
ON TEN WARSHIPS
United States Takes Lead in
Adoption Of Safety
Device.

The United States is about to take
the lead in the adoption OF underwater
fog signals as a part OF the equipment
OF its ships.
Acting Secretary Of the Navy New
berry and admiral Cowles, chief Of the
Bureau of Equipment, have arranged
to install submarine signal-receiving
apparatus on the battleships Connecti-
cut, Virginia, Ohio, Alabama, and
Maine; also on the destroyers Hopkins,
Whipple, Worden, Hull. n Stewart,
and on the GOLFERS Lawrence, Aba
renda, Ajax, Brutus, Caesar. Hannibal,
L~eonidas. Lebanon. Marceuus. Nero.
n Sterling. The May1ower AMI Dol
phin were equipped recently and the
Alabama and Maine have a temporary
equipment for experimental purposes.
The Var Department has already equip
ped the transports Sumner and Kilpat-
rick with the apparatus
This action Of the Navy Department
in installing the signals on ten warships,
nve Of them of the largest class, and on
eleven navy Golfers, following close
upon the equipment Of all lightships
with the submarine bells. easily puts
the United States ahead in the adoption
Of this safety device. The Lighthouse
Board is practically the parent of the
invention.
After exhaustive tests last November.
the British admiralty reported that. by
means Of submarine signals. vessels can
navigate in fog with almost as great
certainty as IN clear weather, and that
the range of signals approximates that
OF a liShtship in half clear weather.
while direction can be obtained within
half a point. The British admiralty has
equipped the Kings yacht, the Victoria
and Albert: the German government has
equipped the H~ohenzoIlern. Emperor
Williams yacht. n several war YES
sells Of each nation have been provided
with the apparatus. The United States
navy is, however the first 10 adont tbs
system generally.

Scandal Viii
Not Disgrace Service,
Comments One.

People who live IN glass houses
Should not throw stones" was the gen
eral comment made this morning by ofi-
Gals Of the War Department relative
&c the report that Colonel Ayres, re-
Gently declared unfit for further active
duty. intended 10 unearth an army scan
daI involving officers stationed in the
Philippines.
Not n Of the War Department off,
Gals seemed the least bit alarmed when
told OF the threatened scandal Let il
come was the general comment. Il
reckon the bitter will be hurt worse than
the bitten"
Not an officer IN the State, War and
Navy Building would allow his name 10
be used when asked about the Ayres
case. Twc reasons for this stand were
advanced First. the precedent estab-
lished Of never discussing a trial. and.
secondly. and what seems the more i'm
portant, their reluctance 10 engage in a
controversy with Colonel Ayres.
Colonel Ayres has the reputation OF
being a fighter, and the records show. fl
Is said. that he was r~eprlrnanded for
challenging a feIIow-ofhcer to a duel a
number Of years ago.

OF West Point. 10 whom the cause for
the present trouble is laid, Colonel
Ayres apparently has few friends among
the officers here Said one officer today
Colonel Ayres should remember that
people who live in glass houses should
not throw stones I doubt If the charges
he could bring against any feIOw-ofhcer
would bring everlasting disgrace 20 the
army. What II one or two. or even five
officers, as It IS alleged he says. have
done wrong does that mean the rest
are disgraced2 His own record. even
though he has been complimented for
bravery. IS none too clean. and I believe
he viii think long and hard before he
carries out his reported plans 10 stir VI

With the exception of one option lot
Of Washington Gas this recently IA
vored speciality was let severely alone.
The bidding was OF a decidedly per
functory character. and the excitement
which has attended the trading here
tofore was n~otceably lacking.
Nor was Capital Traction specially
favored in the bidding. One quotation

lions at 135 filled up the measure Of the
