TO SPLIT THE FLEET
Report Current That Mum
Der of BattlesIips Will
Stay in Pacific.

Washington. p. c.. Dec 22.-Several
of the battleships Of Admiral Evans
fleet are to remain in Pacific waters to
strengthen the squadron in the western
ocean, It is said in naval circles.
The program for the return of the
battleship fleet is a matter that has
been discussed among the officials Of
the navy department, but as vet no
decision has been reached. and will not
be for some time to come" said Sec
rotary of the Navy Metcalf today. The
secretary's remark was called out by
a wireless message from the flagship
Connecticut that Admiral Evans had
authorized the press to say it is his
personal belief that the navy DEPART
ments present intention is to have the
battleship fleet return by way of the
Suez canal next summer or fall.
AS the president, through Secretary
Loeb, previously had spoken to the
same effect, it seems clear that Admiral
Evans statement was not suggested
by any definite move so far determined
upon by those in supreme authority.
In naval circles the opinion prevails
that at most only a squadron composed
of such vessels as the voyage to the
Pacific shall have demonstrated to be
the pick of the fleet" will be sent
home through the Suez canal, while
others that are to come home will take
the shorter route around the horn.

MAY CLOSE SALOONS

Chicago, Dec. IA new and strik-
ing angle Of the Sunday closing fight
came yesterday when a number Of the
business agents Of the Associated
Building Trades met and called a Sec
ond meeting for the night Of Jan 81
for the purpose Of insisting upon the
closing OF all saloons theaters. and
places Of business on Sunday.
The meeting is to be held at 1870 La
Sale street, and the business agents
present at yesterdays meeting out
lined its purpose by declaring war
upon all Sunday work. The addition
10 the Sunday closing fight is not based
upon any moral pedestal 1t is purely
economic in its stand
we stand for the eight hour dav
and the forty-eight hour week" said
Thomas Kearney. business agent ~
the plumbers union, and why not for
the closed Sunday? If the laborers of
the city were permitted to rest On sun
day their worth to their employers
would be enhanced for the remainder
Of the week
Would Be Labor's Cain.
1t is not so much a question Of the
saloons as It Is a question Of refrain
ing from work on Sunday. As long as
saloons keep open other lines Of bust
ness will operate on Sunday. Labor
gains nothing by the work done. and
now that business in many lines Is
slack. it IS no more than right that
Sunday should be the day upon which
j work should cease"

INNOCENT !
James Kelley. the Alleged Stage
Robber, Declared not Guilty
Preliminary Trial.

The preliminary examination of |
James Kelley before Judge Steel, up.
on the charge of being an accessory |
to the robbery of the Redrock stage !!
some weeks ago was held Monday |
afternoon. AS was anticipated by
those who had tried to inform them
selves as TO his guilt or innocence
there was not sufficient evidence OF
an discriminating nature to bind him
over to the district court. The in
formation upon which Kelley was
arrested was sworn to by Driver Col.
son. The accused has been in the
sheriff's charge for the past ten days
awaiting the return Of County At
torney Cowen, who has been TO
Blackfoot as referee In water case.
Some half dozen witnesses were ex-
amined by the prosecution and de-
fense The county attorney prose-
cuted the case, and the defendant
acted as his own lawyer. The first
witness called was Driver Colson,
who swore that Kelley and the man
who held up the stage came up the
gulch together, but his evidence was
not substantiated by Mrs. Johanna
Sharkey, who was the only eye wit
ness outside OF ColSon and Kelley
Outside OF this one point the evil
dene generally agreed. Without any
other witnesses Mrs. Sharkey's evil
dence was sufficiently conclusive to
have justified the discharge of the
prisoner. Only in one particular did
her evidence disagree with that OF
the accused when he was placed on
the stand, and that was as TO the
color Of the coat which he wore al
the time. She thought he had on q
black coat, while he testified that h'
had on the coat that he wore TIN
day of the tIial-a Kakhi. This Is ;
mistake which could easily occur, a
Kelley was at least $50 wards distan
when the holdup occurred.
