day morning both parties in the case of

utes the juror came into court and eX-
planned his being late by saying he was
busy in his office and did not notice the
time slipping by. Judge Lane took oc-
casion to say that the juror had delayed
the proceedings of the whole court, and
as a reminder in the future he imposed
fine of s25. The selection of the jury
was then taken up.

Spread of Prohibition Makes CON

tive Order of the President TO Ef-
feet the Change Planned.

Washington. October 1l.-Commis-
sioner Capers. Of the internal revenue
revenue has under consideration the
rearrangement and consolidation for
revenue collection purposes, OF num-
her of southern and southwestern
states. The constitution OF Oklahoma
which was recently adopted absolutely
prohibits the sale of intoxicating liquor
as a beverage. within the states Dor
rfers. and on January l, 1908, complete
prohibition goes into effect in Georgia,
South Carolina, by recent action of the
state, is partly prohibition, and partly
under the dispensarw system. To meet
these changed conditions the comm. s.
sioner has in contemplation the Con
solidation of Oklahoma with Arkansas
as one revenue division; Georgia AMI
South Carolina as another; Mississippi
and Louisiana and possibly Alabama
as q third AS an alternative Alabama
may be consolidated with Florida.
To carry into effect these changes
would necessitate an executive order by
the president, but the action OF this
character is an administrative neces-
sity It is not likely, however, that
definite action will be taken for some
weeks

RUSHING WORK ON FLEET
Other Work at Navy Yards is Order
ed PostpOned-Ships Must Start
on December 10

Washington, OctOer 10.-Secretary
Metcalf today notified cOmmand2nt5
Of the navy yards at Portsmouth, \
H., New York League island and Nor-
folk that all work which may in any
way interfere with getting the Atlantic
fleet ready by December i be suspend
ed. Work on the fleet IS to be given q
clear field
This is another decisive step toward
guarding against any possible delay.
The problem of getting the feet in
readiness is twofold. All work must
be completed by December l and the
battleships must start for the Pacific
in prime condition as if they were
steaming to meet an enemy. Under
no conditions is the date Of departure
December 15) to be changed. Tie
ships after leaving the navy yards
must take on provisions and coal, and
the time between December l and De
cemer Is, is so short that in order to
sail on the latter date all repairs mus
be completed by December l.
Since the return of Secretary Met
that there might be some difficulty in
getting the fleet started, as some CT

pairs before starting on the long cruise

extend the time allotted for repairs to
so days, with the stipulation that moth

of ships, following orders of the navy
department then egan sending in re-
quests that repairs be authorized. It
was found that practically every ship
needed some work or steam engineer
ing repairs, enough to keep the men at
the navy yards busy for weeks.
Minor epairs made necessary by tar
get practice off Cape Cod have been
comirg in thick and fast to the de-
rartment since the ships have returned
from the practice grounds. For this
reason, probably, the navy department.
today ruled that every available means
be used to get the work through ard
that the commandments of navy yards
be notified to suspend work which
may in any way retard progress To
day the Missouri, New Jersey, Rhode
Island and Georgia, returning from
Cape Cod, have had additional repairs
authorized.

the shaking up of the battlesh.ps caus-
ed by firing heavy charges was Cx-
pected. This also is the statement re-
