Norfolk, Va, Aug. 26.-The Allan
tic fleet, almost in its entirety, is at
anchor in Hampton Roads, between
Old Point Comfort and the James
town exposition grounds. Fifteen
heavy battleships, and several small
cruiZers and auXilliaries are there.
1t Is the strongest fleet which has
assembled here since the dissolution
Of the international fleet which as
sembled in honor of the jamestown
ter-centennial.
1t may be accepted that the fleet
will sail from Hampton Roads for the
Pacific en- December 15. That is the
date set for the sailing by Rear Ad-
miraa Robley D. Evans, who is now
in command CT the fleet and it is
more than likely that he will have
his way
Accompanying the fleet to the Pa
clhc will be twenty-eight GOLFERS,
carrying upward of 10000 tons CT
coal. The ships will make two stops
on, the way, that the crews may be
gwen liberty, one at Rio Janeiro
and another at Callao
Naval authorities here are of the
opinion that the cruise of the feet
to the Pacific is the greatest expedi-
ton ever undertaken by any navy and
that its progress will be watched by
all nations.

SMITH FOR
PRESIDENT
An Iowa Politician Looks on
Georgia Governor as
the Right Man.
SrecAaI to The Journal.

Sioux City, Ia, Aug 26.-For {
Democratic presidential candidate,
Hoke Smith, of Georgia. looks good to
j. Herbert Quick, of Sioux City. The
author of Aladdin and Company
and Double Trouble" takes a great
interest in politics. He has been one
of the few Democratic mayors OF
Sioux City and is prominent IN the
councils Of his party in the state.
Ever since Mr.. Quick interviewed
Mr. Smith for a magazine he has had
a decidedly good opinion of him, and
thinks that if the Democratic party
should name a Southerner it would
not go far wrong in selecting Mr.
Smith.
Mr. Quick found Mr.. Smith to be
man of large frame, larger voice
and large ideas.
-Hoke Smith is a man utterly de-
void of fear" said Mr.. Quick. He
sets his mind on doing some great
work, and then goes ahead and does
it. I talked with him before he was
elected governor. He told me that
if he went into the governors office
he would simply forget all about his
law practice and devote his entire at
tention to his duties as a public SER
want. The law practice netted him
$4,000 a year, and most men would
have probably hard time forgetting
it But that is the kind of man Hoke
Smith is"

Gilmore, for whom D. l. B. Atkinson
of Florala, Ala, offered reward of
$50 was arrested here Saturday. He
is about 81 years old, and skipped
out recently from FlOrala, taking, it
it alleged, a wife, a horse and a
buggy, none of which belonged to
him.
The credit for some clever detec-
tive and tracing work falls to
Deputy Sheriff S. A Hutchinson.
Young Gilmore claims to have in his
possession a note for $40, showing
the sale of the horse by him year
ago, and vet, as further collection
seemed slow, he hired the rig os-
tensibly to go to see his mother in
Paxton, Fla. but soon sold the out
fit to D. S. Hall at AtmiOre, Ala, Mr..
Hall in part payment gave a check
for $25. payable September 10, 1907.
The effort to cash this paper tracked
Gilmore through banks in Mobile,

To USE HEAT
FROM THE SUN
Frank Shurnan VIII Engi-

Use at Small Cost.
By Associated Press.

Philadelphia, Pa, Aug 26.-By
using the principle of the common
hotbed by which farmers grow fresh
vegetables in the dead of winter,
Frank Shuman, an engineer and
chemist, thinks he has solved the old
nroblem of converting the heat OF the
suns power at such low cost that IT'S
commercial use is near at hand
He is now running an engine that
gets its power from the sun, and il
is so simple that a child can operate
it. Shuman says his machine will
revolutionize the motive power OF the
world.
On the Shuman property, near here,
there is a big wooden box, sunk into
the ground and covered with a double
box of ordinary hot house glass The
box is filed with cOiled iron pipes
painted black These pipes, filed with
ether, connect with a small upright
engine. The circuit is known as a

the pipes is converted 10 vapor in tie

back again into the hot box.
No fuel is used, the heat Of the sun
being relied upon to convert the liquid
into yapor In the tropics, water
would take the place of vapor, Shuman
says.
Shuman frankly admits that his
machine would not run in cloudy
weather. He believes that by using
his solar engine TO make liquid air,

UNDER WATER
Eighteen Men Caught in a
Tunnel Lock Under 80
Feet of Water.
Special 70 The Journal.

New York. Aug. 26.-Weak and ex.
hausted, eighteen men who had been
prisoners under thirty feet of water
in the tunnel lock of the McAdoo tun-
nell at Fulton and Greenwich streets
for almost eight hours, were released
of the men spent the entire time in
prayer A few took to the imprison-
ment stoically, and waited for the
relief they believed was sure to
come. Overhead, Master Mechanic
John Combs and O. Beckheimer di,
rected the work of rescue. A dozen
siphons were rugged and shortly af-
ter 1 o'clock pumping out the water
began.
Master Mechanic Combs also set
another section of the 38-inch pipe,
OF which the lock chamber is made,
to get the men out through. Long
before the level of the water had
been reduced to a point below the
lock, the new section was in place
for the work of rescue. When the
door was finally opened and the men
were notified they could come out
then eighteen fought to get through
at once Master Mechanic Combs
beat them back and ordered them
up one at time. They were so eX
hausted they could scarcely crawl
through the tube, and when they haC
been finally rescued, they staggered
about in the open air like drunken
men. 1t was fully half hour before
thew were able to start for their
homes.
