NEGRO WOMAN GETS DAMAGES
Against City of jacksonville for
Death Of Husband by Contact
" it'll Loose Live Wire.
Times Union.

Hester Wilder, a colored woman,
was yesterday awarded damages in
the sum of $500 against the city Of
Jacksonville, the verdict marking the
conclusion of an unusually hard
fought suit. The woman is the wild
Ow of Benjamin Wilder, who was
killed on April IS, 1907, near the
corner of Stonewall and Wintea
streets, by coming in contact with a
live electric light wire, the current
in which was supplied from the city
plant. The case brought up again
memories of the record-breaking
hailstorm of April IS, when buildings
were badly damaged, boats overturn-
ed in the river, windows broken in
all sections of the city, and wires
beating down everywhere. 1t was on
the fact that the fallen wire was due
to no fault of the city that the de-
Tense made its hardest fight.
The plaintiff set up that on the
day in question, about 7 o'clock D
m, her husband was returning to
his home, when, near the corner
mentioned above, he came in contact
with the wire, receiving an electric
shock that resulted in practically in
slant death. The wire, il was charg-
ed, had broken from the pole, in part
and hung loosely over a fence aud
across the pavement on which the de-
ceased was walking when he came in
contact with it. She asked damages
in the sum of $4,000, claiming dam
ages on all grounds, allowed under
the law. The case went to the jury
about ) O'Clock, and within less than
an hour thereafter they returned q
verdict awarding the plaintiff damas-
eS in the sum of $500.

4 GETTYSBURG INCIDENT
How Southern Solder Cared for
Wounded Enemy in the Field.

Athens. Ga. Dec. lO.-The funeral
Of Mr.. Thomas P, Oliver was held
this afternoon. The palIbearerS were
six members OF Cobb Deloney Camp,
United Confederate Veterans. At the
grave the MaSonS fraternity oficiat-
ed.
The death Of Mr.. Oliver recalls one
Of the most beautiful stories of hero
ism connected with the great war be-
tween the states. He was among the
troops who engaged in the battle OF
Gettysburg. and as he swept forward
in one Of the charges against the fed
erals he passed a wounded Yankee,
who called to him and begged him 10
place him outside the line Of fire. The
man had been shot through the this l
and had received what seemed to be
a mortal wound.
Mr.. Oliver heard the cry OF dis
tress. stopped down and drew tn
wounded man upon his back and
craWled with him across the field that
was swept with shot and shell, until
he reached a place Of safety. Then
he prOpped the wounded Yankee
against a tree and gave bib a canteen
of water. The soldier gave ~
Oliver his gold watch and thanked
him for his kindness. Then they
parted. \ little later the federalS re-
took the position and the wound /
man fell into the hands of his own
men.
Years passed during which time
DR.. J. ]. Purman OF Washington
sought to find the name of the maa
who had saved his life on the bat;'
field of Gettysburg. Several years
since his patience was rewarded and
he often tried to get Mr.. Oliver to
visit him in Washington. Circum-
stances prevented several attempts to
bring the two together. but last Jui4
they met for the first and last tim
since the incident on the GettySbur"
field.
Mr. Oliver went to Richmond TO a.
tend the Confederate reunion AMI
then went over to Washington TO be

-Four New BattLeShipS
Are Needed This Year

my Judgment we should this year
provide for four battleships.
But il is idle to build battIeships
unless, In addition to providing the
men, and the means for thorough
training, we provide the adxiIiaries
for them, unless we provide decks,
cOaling stations, the GOLFERS, and
supply ships that they need. We are
extremely deficient in eOaIing STA
tiOns and docks on the Pacific, and
this deficiency should not longer he
permitted to exist. Plenty of for
pedO boats and destr0yers should he
built. Both on the Atlantic and Pa
cfic coasts, fOrtificatiOnS of the
best type should be provided for all
our greatest harbOrs.
We Ieed always to remember that T.,
time Of war the navy is not TO he
used to defend harbors and sea-coa ST
cities: we should perfect our system of
coast fortifcatiOnS. The only efficieDr ?
Lse for the navy is offense. The only
way in which IL can efficiently profect
our own coast against +he possible A.
tior of foreign navy IS by destroying
that foreign navy. For defense against
n hostile feet which actually alteclCs
them, the coast cities must depend uDon
their forts. mines, torpedoes, subna-
rines. and torpedo boats and destroyers
All of these together are efficient for
defensive purposes, but they in no wav

It was hoped The Hague confer
enee might deal with the question
of the limitation of armaments. But
even before it had assembled infOr-
NAL inquiries had developed that as
regards naval armamentS, the only
ones in which this cCIatry had any
interest, it was hopeless to try to de-
wise any plan for which there was the
slightest possibility of securing the
assent of the nations gathered at The
Hague. No plaa Tas even proposed
which would have had the assent of
more than one first class power out
side of the United States. The only
plan that seemed at all feasible, that
of limiting the size of battIeships,
met with no favor at all. 1t Is evil
dent, therefore, that ii is folly for
this nation to base any hope Of
securing peace on any international
agreement as TO the Limitation of
armaments. Such being the fact, It
would be most unWise for us TO stop
the upbuilding Of our navy. To
build one battleShip of the best and
most advanced type a year would
barely keep our fleet up to its pres
ent force. That is not enough. In

The Washington times., 1907-12-03


Your attention is invited to the fol-
lowing quotations from the report OF
the personnel board of 1895, of which
the Assistant Secretary Of the Navy
was president:
Congress has authorized a consider
able increase in the number OF midship-
men at the Naval Academy. and these
midshipmen upon graduation are pro
NOTED to ensign and lieutenant (junior
grade). But no provision has been
made for q corresponding increase in
the upper grades. the result being that
the lower grades will become so con-
gested that a midshipman now in one
OF the lowest classes at Annapolis may
possibly not be promoted to lieutenant
until no IS between fOrty-five and fifty
years of age. SO IL will continue under
the present law, congesung at the top
NAL development and training. The
country fails to get from the officers or
the service the best that is in them by
not providing opportunity for their nor
ma development and training. The
board believes that this works a serious
detriment 20 the efficiency OF the navy
and is a real menace to the public
safety"
AS stated In my special message to
the last Congress: 81 am firmly of the
opinion that unless the present Condi-
tions of the higher commissions per-
sonnel is rectified by judicious legfsla-
ton the future OF our navy will be
graveiy compromised. It is also ur-
gently necessary TO increase the effi-
cheney of the medical corps OF the navy.
Special legislation to this end has al
ready been proposed; and trust it may
be enacted without delay.
It must be remembered that every
thing done in the navy to fit II TO do
Ncll in time Of war must be done in
time Of peace. Modern wars are short: /:
they do not last the IanEth OF time re-
