u. S. Unable to
keep Big Fleet on
Pacific Coast
NAVAL BASES INADEQUATE
Think That Large Squadron
in Western Waters Would
Be Easy Prey.

Toxic, July 5.--The report from
Washington attributing the proposed
sending of sixteen battleshps to the
Pacific coast to Admiral Dewey's pri-
vate plan. is generally disbelieved
here by those whose knowledge and
experience entities their opinion to
some attention.
The United States is not known to
possess naval bases in the Pacific
ocean adequate for such purposes and
the impression prevails that the send
ing Of large squadron where suff1.
cient rendezvous does not exist would
simply mean that the vessels would
be easy prey to torpedo boats and des-
troyers.
Should sixteen battleshps be 50 en-
ployed as to disprove this record
breaking naval feat will have to be ac-
complished.
Uncle Sam to Send Fleet Anyway.
Washington, July 5.-Details Of the
vast movement of the Atlantic feet
to Pacific waters have been theoreti.
cally worked out weeks in advance
by the naval general board. But these
details are necessarily subject to con-
slant change resulting from the with
drawal of several battleships from ac-
tive commission on account of having
been declared antiquated or in need of
repair and the substitution Of other
ships going into commission and fresh
from the builders hands.
There is in the navy department to-
day scarcely any one authorized to
afford any information as to the con
templated fleet movement. The opin-
ion of the officers on duty today Is that
the route most favorable for the big
ships Is by way of the straits of Ma
gellan. The route across the Atlantic
and through the Mediterranean and
the Suez canal is open to the objection
that it would bring the ships 1t needs
most into Japanese waters and its
movements might be seriously regard
ed as menace, which Secretary
Metcalf has stated has never been con-
templated. The Suez route, too, is
the longest by thousand miles than
the Magellan route.

sent to the secretary of the executive
Office by Ex-Governor Hagerman with
the explanation that it was inadvert-

in the former governors valise. This
explanation is very nice as far as it
goes, but the statement that the docu-

among other papers in the valise and

little fishy. The fake refcrmers will

The expenditures for the sup

sage to the last Legislative Assembly
laid much stress upon the reported
economy Of the management of the
Territorial penitentiary at that time,
advertised generally the existence OF a
balance of about $4,000; and the vel
low sheets of the Territorial press
which are prominent particularly for
the amount of misinformation which
they disseminate, are continually re-
iterating the statement that the Trel'
ford management has made a record
for economy, put the prison on a pay
ing basis and saved thousands Of dol
lars to the Territory
Investigation shows that $3,996, OF
this balance stood to the credit OF the
road fund, and of course was not avail.
able for maintenance in any shape
There were practically no balances in
any of the other funds.
Boasted Economy Not Borne Out BY
Facts.
Many claims have been made by
the fake reform Ex-Governor, by the
yellow sheets and otherwise, as tC
the unusually economical manage
ment of this institution under the SUI
perintendency Of the Kansas importa
ton Treford but investigation OF the
records of the prison shows that these
claims are not borne out by any facts
or figures.
If these statements are true the
cost of running the institution shoult
show great reduction over the record
of former years or there should be
large balances on hand since the ap
preparations for the past two years
were larger than ever before, and
the income from convicts' earnings
has been increasing each year since
1904, at the rate of about $4,000 pei
annum. But what are the facts as tC
to these hypothetical balances?
On July /, 1907, when Sheriff Mari
on Littrell assumed charge OF the
penitentiary there was a balance on
hand in the maintenance fund OF about
$500 with which to pay bills aggre
eating nearly $1,000 while on the same
day there was a balance on hand in
the convicts' earnings fund of about
$2,75S.
Mismanagement as Well as Brutality
Trelford's report claimed credit
for $71 900 earned by convicts in 1905
and 1906, although he knew that
$4,000 of that amount had been a
direct appropriation by the Legislature
