TROPHYFOR GUNNERS
NAVAL MEN TO COMPETE FOR s1,-
 500 CUP.
1t Has Been Offered To the Navy By Business Men of SpOkanc-Sec- retary MetcaIf Writes
 Letter.

Spokane, Washn., July 7.-Gunners ou battleships and armored cruisers in the Tinted States Atlantic fleet, will compete for a silver trophy. costing S1,- 500, to be known as the Spokane cup, in annual target practice to determine tho question of excellence In naval gun nery.
 The department of the navy has ac- cepted the offer of the people of Spo- kane to provide the trophy which will he presented in time for the next con- test. The cup is to remain the property ot the battleship or cruiser of either fleet which scores the highest final mark with all turret guns, until lost in competition.
 Victor NJ. Metcalf, secretary of the navy. has sent 6 letter to L. c. Mon roe, secretary of the chamber of com merce, accepting the offer of the trophy to be presented to the Atlantic fleet in annual target practice. He says among other things:
 This manifestation of the patriotic interest of the people of Spokane in the efficiency of the navy is very gratifying to me personally, and to the depart ment, for the question of excellence in naval gunnery Is deemed by the de- partment to be of the utmost impor- tance and worthy at all times of the departments most earnest attention.
 Several years ago the President i'm terested himself personally in this ques- ton of trophies for excellence in great gun craftsmanship and directed that the vessels of the navy be divided into four classes, namely. battleships, cruis- CTS, gunboats and torpedo craft, and that trophy be assigned to each. This was accordingly done. and these four trophies have been competed for with increasing keenness during the last four years.
 While appreciating the sentiments that prompted the members of the Chamber of Commerce to make this generous offer to the Department. per- init me to suggest that ihasmuch as four trophies already exist that cup, if presented by the Chamber of Com merce of Spokane. De awarded to the battleship or armored cruiser of either fleet that makes the highest final merit with all of her turret guns.
 "In conclusion, I have to request that you will convey through the Board of Trustees of .he Spokane Chamber of Commerce to the public-spirited citi- zens of Spokane the Departments full and sincere appreciation for their gen. erosity."
 F. F.. Cioodall. President of the Chamber of Commerce. announced to- day that while the trophy fund has been guaranteed. every man. woman and child fin the city will be permitted to contribute toward 1t in amounts not exceeding g cents,

AID THREE PERSONS
SALVATION ARMY DOING FINE
 WORK LOCALLY.
Woman nnd Children En Route 70 Montana Are Helped and Young Girl is Rescued From
 Streets.

The local work of the Salvation Army Is reaching many needy and un- fortunate people, during the hot season now on in Montgomery.
 Last night at the emergency home on the corner of Whitman and Bell Streets ten very pathetic cases were cared for. Among those who applied for aid was a woman and three small children who were penniless. homeless and friendless. The woman claimed to be from Macon, Ga. en route to the bedside of her sick husband In the State of Montana. The woman and her children were given shelter and food over night and then sent part of their way toward Montana.
 Another pathetic case Is that of an old woman 60 or 70 years old, who has. no relatives or friends who she knows of She came to Montgomery a few weeks ago and requested that the Sal vation Army find her place in some Montgomery family as housekeeper. This position was secured for her. However the next morning she came again to the Salvation Army head quarters and claimed that the work was much too hard for one of her years, and at the same time asking that a position be obtained for her with lighter work. This last position has not been obtained for her on &C., | count of the fact that the old woman's mind seemed somewhat affected. The case was submitted to Judge J. B. Gaston and arrangements have been | made for her reception to the State Asylum for the Insane at Tuscaloosa. The most pathetic case of the week, however Is that of young girl about 1 19 years old. The girl came to the city about a year ago from North Alabama expecting to get work. Unable to get work immediately she drifted until Mrs. Captain Odom found her. She will be taken today to the Salvation Army Rescue Home in Birmingham where she will be taught various kinds of work to make an honest living. More than 2,000 girls are thus rescued by the Salvation Army in this manner every year.
 The remainder of the cases were worthy cases of charity which were at- | tended to.

Admiral VIII Leave the Navy Today.
 Washington. July 7.-After being in active service since civil war days Rear Admiral Willard H. Brownson, at present In charge of the Bureau of Navigation at the Navy Department will reach the age for statutory re- tirement tomorrow.
 Admiral Brownson Is one of the most popular officers of the navy and in his long career he has been the central figure in a number of stirring adven- tures One of these occurred in 1898, when Admiral de Mello of Brazil, with a small fleet. consisting of one ironclad cruiser. two torpedo boats and seveTal merchant vessels. seized the harbor of Rio Janeiro. No vessels could pass in to or reach the piers in the harbor, and much distress was occasioned. A small fleet of American warships was fin the neighborhood among them the Detroit, in command of Admiral Brownson, then a commander. An American merchant man was also there with a cargo to dis charge, but was prevented from land ing by Mello's fleet. Her captain ap- pealed to the commodore in command

of the American warships, with the re- suit that the Detroit was detailed to net as an escort to the American ves- sel and see that her captain had an opportunity to discharge her cargo.
 Clearing decks for action and with every man at his post. Commander tst o>Vnson sent word to Admiral de Mello of what he intended to do. and chen gave the command that sent t2e Detroit and the smaller vessel on their perilous way. Through a lane formed by the Mello navy they sailed. Some gunner of the Brazilian fleet fired a shot at the merchantmen. and before the smoke had cleared away one of the big guns of the Detroit belched forth. Brownson shouted from the bridge to the Brazilian admiral that If another shot was fired he would deliver a broadside. This had the effect of alarming the Brazilians, and the vessel discharged her cargo in peace and re- tired in good order.
