SAN DIEGO THE
FAVORED SPOT
Strong Probability of Another
Naval Station on the Pa
Cific Coast.

Washington, July 30.-It is probable
that another naval station Will be Gre
ated upon the Pacific coast as the re-
suit of the forthcoming visit there of
Admiral Capps, chief naval construct
or of the navy, and Admiral Cowles,
chief of the equipment bureau. The
former left Washington today for New
York, where he will be Joined by Ad-
miral COwles, and the two will go to-
gether to the Pacific coact to make a
thorough inspection of the yards and
stations on that coast and report upon
the future needs of the navy in that
quarter.
Present Stations Inadequate.
Admiral Holiday, chief of the bureau
CT yards and docks, will follow these
two officers to San Francisco on a sim
liar errand. This win involve a very
careful examination of the Mare Island
navy yard and that at Bremerton. The
resources of the two navy yards, which
are the only ones on a 2000-mile
stretch of shore land. are scarcely suf-
flcient to make even temporary repairs
and bookings that viii be required by
Admiral Evans batttleship fleet IL it
makes only a temporary visit to the
coast. Hence the inspection of these
yards will probably result in recon-
mendatiOns to congress at its approach
ing session for a considerable enlarge
ment of the plants at both places.
The difficulty of procuring skilled la
Dor in these yards, and especially at
Bremerton. will also be considered,
with a view to making the conditions
more attractive to such labor if by no
other means than by assuring the men
of continuous employment at good
wages.
San Diego Favored.
But from naval point of view prob
ably of more interest is the PROPOSE
tioE to establish a naval station at San
Diego, Cal, which will be examined
from all points of view by the visiting
admirals The harbor at this point
possesses superior advantages as d ma
val anchorage. There are good rail-
road connections. assuring abundant
supply Of coal overland if water COM
munication is cut off in wartime, and
the harbor can easily be made impreg-
nable.
The distance of San Diego southwark
from san Francisco and upon the same
line with the projected Panama canal,
would also make it an advantageous
coaling point. OF course, the consent
of congress would be necessary to rem
der effective its selection

New York, July 30.-Mrs. Evelyn Nes-
bit Thaw gave an authoritative state
ment to the Associated Press today
concerning her plans, declaring that
she has no intention of returning to
the stage. but will devote her energies
to the study of music.
This statement was called out by a
published report that Mrs. Thaw in
tended to take a leading role at q
Broadway theatre.
Mrs. Thaw visited her husband in the
fombs, after which she declared she
had no intention of returning to the
stage. Mrs. Thaw was dressed in a
dark brown cloth suit. and from a black
sailor straw hat fell a white veil, which
did not conceal the frequent smiles
which punctured her story.
Merely Taking Singing Lessons.

ton of going back to the stage" Mrs.
Thaw said. land 1 am quite sure that

singing lessons at the suggestion of my
physician. who says that I have some
slight affection of the vocal chords.
My health otherwise is perfect. No, I

the stage. Wnen j UTSI went upon Ine
boards / had the idea / was going to

his second trial for the murder of

The resignation of Chief of Police
George A. Sheets will be handed to
Mayor Ezra Thompson today. The de-
mand for the resignation of Chief
Sheets comes from a number of lead
ers of the American" party. The pres
sure has become so pronounced that
the original plan of Withholding the
chiefs resignation until some action is
taken in his case by the district court
had to be abandoned, and an imme-
diate resignation may be looked for.
| Attorney SOren X. Christensen. chief
counsel for Sheets returned yesterday
| from a three days trip to Beaver and
is now Investigating the source of the
request for the retirement Of his
client. He was in consultation with
| several of the leaders of the party, as
well as with the chief, last evening,
but declined to say what had been
agreed upon. It has been learned, how
ever, that a formal resignation will
/ likely be presented the mayor today
upon the confirmation of an appoint
ment of his successor, which would be
made at the council meeting next Mon
/ day night.

Bells Confession the Climax.

Since the confession of w. w. Bell
has been made public the American
party leaders have been urgent in their
demands that the chief resign. The one
obstacle. however, to this action is
Mayor Thompson. who has always dis
approved of Sheets resignation while
he is under fire. 1t is even said that
the mayor said that if Sheets resigna-
ton was necessary he, too, would re-
sign. The chief himself, ever since
the original charges were made last

.GLOR|F|ER WON
BIG HANDICAP
0kenite Ran Into Second Place,
With Roseben Third.

NEW YORK, May 1O.-J. H. McCormick's
Glorifier. the son OF Hastings-G Glory. won
the sixteenth running of the Metropolitan
handicap at Belmont Park yesterday. He
raced by the spent and firing pacemakers
rounding the stretch turn. and, quickly dis
posing Of Roseben when Strengthened out
for home. came away to win rather clever
~ from the fast closing Okenite, and earned
turf fame that will be lasting.
Glorifer was one Of the outsiders in the
betting, and went to the post at 20 I'd 1.
Racegoers had evidently forgotten his VIC
tory in the Carter handicap at Aqueduct
and his good second to DR.. Gardner in the
Excelsior handicap at Jamaica In a wild
desire to bet on Roseben. Gloriier was at
false price. as the sloppy track was
made to order for him. and. while one OF
the outsiders, his sterling victory could
hardly be called surprise. Garner, who
rode Grapple to victory in the same race a
year ago, handled the big chestnut with
consummate skill. He saved ground with
him most of the way and made his run at
exactly the right moment. The time lao As,
was fast, considering the condition Of the
track.
August Belmonts Okenite, an added
starter, shared the honors of the race with
Glorifier. He was far back In the early
part, and In such close quarters that he
looked hopelessly beaten turning for home.
Little Brusseli brought him up with a rush
in the stretch, however, and he was fairly
running over his horses at the end. The

bearing on the Washington club. Although
nothing definite has been decided upon as
yet as the governing board of the American
Association will have to sanction the sale. it

the bans are removed.

him from going to the Des Monies club

club from the bench. This purchase, which
was contaminated yesterday by Manager
Cantiilon. Will make him the property Of the

AS Manager Cantillon is really the owner of

and his salary with the different Gibbs he
has led into the championship has always
been up around the 1000 mark. These fig
ures kept him away from the major league,
as very few owners cared about going above
this high mark for a man who had never
played major league ball. In 19O34-5 his
fielding averages at first base were 1888,
.9s7 and 1855 respectively. while his batting
averages in the same seasons were 800, .29S
and .2S5.
Last season Kelly didn't play on account OF
his troubles with the governors of the Amer

Definite Action Expected Today IN
Brown-Dartmouth Case.

PROVIDENCE, r. l., May N.-Dehnte
action. 1t is thought, may be taken today
nv the Brown University Athletic Associa-
ton toward a resumption of athletic re'a-
lions with Dartmouth College. which were
broken off recently, following the With
drawal of the Dartmouth team from the
field on account of an unfayorable decision
of the umpire In base ball game here.
An adjourned meeting Of the athletic asso-
citation will be held this afternoon. at which
1t is expected something will be done to
bring about peace.
The whole question of the break from
Dartmouth was opened by the athletic assoc
citation yesterday at a meeting at which
several prominent alumni were present. The
discussion disclosed a general sentiment
that while Brown was justified in Directing
to the conduct on the part of Dartmouth,
which they regarded as unsportsnlanlike
the action OF the undergraduate athletic
board In severfng relations with Dartmouth
without giving the New Hampshire college
an opportunity to be heard was hasty and
al considered The meeting adjourned until
today and there is a feeling here that this
afternoon something definite will be accom-
plfshed In the direction Of adjusting the
dffncuity.
