WILL NOTIFY THE NATIONS
State Department to Announce Com.
ing of Big Fleet.
Democratic Members of Congress
Expected to Cali on President
for Reason of the Cruise.

Acting Secretary OF the Navy Newberry
said yesterday that before the Atlantic
battle ship fleet started upon it's an
nounced voyage to the Pacific the Navy
Department will notify the State Depart
ment OF the intended movement This
will be done in order that the State De-
partment, through diplomatic channels.
may advise the South American countries
of the purpose Of the United States YES
sells to visit their ports It is contrary
TO international etiquette for one nation
to send war ships to the ports of friend
ly nation without previously giving notice
Of the call
Navy officers have been studying the
charts and have reached the conclusion
that the battle ships can all anchor ain
Puget Sound, and therefore It is not i'm
probable that all may go there with the
exception of those which may need some
slight repairs at the Mare Island yard
It IS said to be the intention Of Dem
ocratic members of Congress TO introduce
q resolution in the Senate or House as
soon as the sixtieth Congress is organ
lied. asking the Navy Department or the
President the reason for sending the
battle ship feet to the Pacific As it is
not probable that the fleet will sail from
Hampton Roads, as planned, before
December Is, ample time will be afforded
for q discussion Of such a resolution.
Republicans declare that IL the resolution
is passed the President may decline. to
assign any reason for his action. It is
more likely. however, that the explana-
tion viii be offered that the ships are
simply going upon a cruise to test their
endurance.

The cross-examination of Comptroller
Plant, of the Southern Railway. -5as con-
tinued by ex-Representative Woodward.
who asked series Of questions at yes
terdays hearing Of the North Carolina
rate case designed tc show that the oper-
aung ratio on intrastate business in
North Carolina was lower than had been
testified 10 by Mr.. Plant in his direct
testimony. and that consequently, net
earnings were higher.
Mr. Plant was questioned as TO the
gross and net earnings OF the Southern
Railway System since 1900 He showed
that while the gross earnings increased
from S526l1, 1861 in 1906, to $685., ,994-S9 in
1907. there had been a decrease in the
net earnings amounting 10 $780, 4S He
testified that this was largely due 10 in
creases in the cost of labor and material.
and said that part Of these Increases that
he had been able to determine with ap-
proximate accuracy. amounted to $780,
COO.
Mr.. Justice. of counsel for the State.
asked whether the Southern Railway was
not in need of increased facilities, and
when Mr Plant replied that the fact that
the company was now increasing It's facn-
ities was evidence Of their need, he asked
why those facilities were not provided
faster
improvements Cost Money.
Mr. Plant replied that It took money
to pay for them: that the Southern Rail
way did not have sufficient cash, and
must go into the markets 10 borrow the
money. and that Il could not find a mar
ket for its securities in the face of local
state legislation pulling down its earn
ingS.
Mr.. Justice asked how much money
had been taken out OF the treasury IN
April for the payment OF dividends when
money was needed for increased facilities.
Mr.. Plant replied that the April divi-
dend amounted TO Sl.500,000 Mr. Justice
was proceeding TO ask a further ques-
ton as TO the payment of this dividend
into which he interjected an argument
against the use Of earnings for the pay
ment of dividends when increased facili-
ties were needed.
Counsel Thom. Of the Southern. OBJ
jected to this argument, because the
amount Of the dividends paid 10 the
stockholders In the entire history of
the company would not begin to supply
the money that had actually been ex-
pended TO provide increased facilities.
Must Establish Credit.
He said that to obtain money it was
necessary to establish the credit Of the
company, and this credit could not be
established Z investors could not hope
for a return on their investment. He
said that under this condition the rail-
ways OF the country were to be deprived
OF their earnings. and with their credit
destroyed were TO be called upon 10 pro
vide greater facilities.
In reply to questions by Mr. Justice as
TO What method should be taken 20
bring about a proper adjustment OF rates
when existing rates were believed 10 be
too high, he said that he had nothing to
do with the adjustment OF rates, but
that, speaking generally, he believed
there should be a mutual understanding
between the railway and the public when
there was a disagreement on rates: that
the proper way was to get together and
talk IL out.

AFTER MOREBROKERS
Grand Jury May Vote Addi-
tiOnal Indictments.
HEARS FURTHER EVIDENCE
stock Traders Caught by Surprise
when True Bills Are Returned
Says Actions VIII Prevent Carry
ing Out Plan 10 Secure Injunction.

The grand jury will to-day resume con-
sideration of evidence against the alleged
bucket shops. and more indictments Of
brokers are expected The traders were
surprised yesterday by the action OF the
jury in returning three true bills to jus
tice Stafford, which indicted I'VE brokers
for alleged violation Of the gambling laws.
Those under indictment are Chesley K
Spence, Wade & Hedges. and Frank
Kane, each Of whom, it IS charged, kept
a place for gaming. and for such purpose
conducted a pretended brokerage busi-
ness.
The second count OF the indictments al
leges that the defendant set up gam
ing table at which money could be bet
or wagered. Upon conviction. the pen
atty prescribed by the code in case Of
conviction, is "a sentence of not more than
fye years IN the penitentiaEy
Mr. Given said yesterday that he has
received a number OF offers from brokers
under surveillance TO Immediately retire
from business. but has stated that no
immunity will be promised by the district
attorneys Office.
Have stopped operations.
He has received assurances. however,
from all concerned that they are engag-
ing in no new operations.
Detectives Helan and Grant and Secret
Service Operator Kllnke yesterday con-
tinued their observations Of the brokers
offices, but no arrests were made.
Following the action Of the grand jury,
William +. Ambrose. attorney for Ches-
ley & Spence and Frank Kane, held a
consultation with his clients. at which
was discussed a preliminary plan Of
defense Mr.. Ambrose declined to make
public his mode Of future procedure.
stating that the return of indictments
had come in the nature Of a surprise and
he was not as yet prepared to outline his
policy.
II is stated. however. that the return
Of the indictments precludes the p0ssi-
bility Of the issuance by the court Of an
injunction temporarily restraining she
district attorney from molesting the
brokers' II will probably be several
months before the cases will be called.
and In the meantime II Is the intention of
the district attorneys Office 10 keep the
alleged bucket shops" closed.
Hibbs Explains Testimony.
In an interview last evening, W. 3.
Hibbs, president Of the Washington stock
Exchange, said: THE statement in an
evening paper that I was a witness in
each case against the indicted men is
apt to be misleading. Several weeks ago
I was called before the grand jury as a
member of the New York Stock Exchange
to describe the purchase and sale of
stocks and bonds according to stock ex-
change rules. I did not know what cases
the jury was considering, and all ! have
known of the sO-called bucket shops
cases I have learned through the news
papers "
