BLUE JACKETS ARE
Refused ADMIT.
TANCE TO HALL
Secretary of the Navy Will Investi-
gate the Ejectment of Naval Of
ficerS from Dance Pavilion
Near Jamestown.

WASHINGTON, Map 29.-Discrim-
inatiOn against the bluejacket uni
form of the navy at the dancing pa
WILTON at Pine Beach amusement
park, resort adjacent to the James
town exposition, has led Secretary
Metcalf to vigorous action.
Complaint was made to the navy
department by Lieut. J. V. Babcock
commanding the United States steam
er TruxtOn, on May IL. The sub
stance of this report and position ta-
ken by Secretary Metcalf in the mat
ter is given by him in letter to Gov.
Swanson, of Virginia, dated May 22.
Secretary Metcalf says:
This department is in receipt of
an unofficial report from the COM
manding officer of the United States
steamship TruXton, dated Pine Beach,
Va, May 16, 1907, with regard to a
case of disrespect to the service uni
form, which occurred during the So
journ of the flotilla off Pine Beach.
The commanding officer of the
Truxton states that the dancing pa
vilion of Pine Beach refuses admis-
sion to men in bluejacket uniforms !;
at the same time granting unquali-
fed admittance to soldiers in uni
form. S. F. Lane, gunner's mate, 1st
class, was on the 18th instant refused
admission to the dancing pavilion the
manager stating that under no cir
cumstances would men in bluejacket
uniform be admitted; that the men
were not objected to but their uni
form was, and that if they wished to
go in and dance other clothes would
be furnished them. Request was
made to see the other clothes men
toned, and the petty officer was then
shown a dressing room where stock
of white clothes was kept, very much
similar to the regulation mess at
tendant uniform On being inform
ed that the matter would be report
ed to the proper authorities the man
ager stated that the action would do
no good and would be waste of
time.
"This park is advertised as being
under the management of the Column
bia Amusement company, w. F..
Crawl, president.
las the navy is doing everything
in its power to make the exposition a
success your attention is invited to
this instance of apparent diScrimina-
tion against the service uniform and
it is believed that some action should
be taken thereon by Withholding Ii
cense, or otherwise. If such practices
be permitted, the result will, this de-
partment feels assured, prove highly
prejudicial 10 the naval service by
causing the uniform of the navy to
be looked upon with disfavor."
A copy of the letter was sent to
President Tucker of the Jamestown
exposition by Secretary Metcalf.
Both Gov. Swanson and President
Tucker replied to Secretary Metcalf
under date of May "a. Gov. Swanson
said that he would at once do every
thing he possibly could do under the
law to have the discrimination stop
ped. President Tucker explained
that Pine Beach park was entirely out
of the grounds of the exposition and
that the exposition company had no
authority or control over its manage
ment. Mr.. Tucker expressed hearty
sympathy with the Secretary's posi-
ton.

ROUTE
into ELYISTO
BEABANDONED
SAN PEDRO HAS CHOSEN NEW
LINE INTO ELY TO CONNECT
AT TINTIC.
WILL TAP BLACKHORSE DISTRICT
Surveyors at Work Running Routes
to the South of Deep Creek ana
North of Mount Moriah.

Contrary to all tile predictions
heretofore made that the Clark road
would extend its line into Ely by way
of Phoebe and would go ahead with
that work as soon as the branch in
to that camp from Caliente had been
completed, 1t was ascertained by the
News late last evening that the COM
pany have other plans under con-
sideration and are working quietly
but swiftly on another route.
As soon as the line to Phoebe is
completed the contractors rorces
there will be withdrawn and placed
at work on a line to Ely that is now
being surveyed.
This line will make a more direct
line to Salt Lake from Ely than the
other and thereby the Clark interests
probably figure they will be able TO
corral a larger percentage of the ore
traffic from this camp.
Two parties of surveyors are now
at work between this camp and IA
small place on the main line of the
San Pedro route, called Tintic. IL
is not officially announced and propa-
bly, will not be for some weeks yet
that this Is the route that has peen
chosen by the Clark management for
their proposed line into Ely, but ae-
cording to the haste that is being
made and the thorougnness or the
work of the large engineering corps
that Is now In the field 1t can be pre-
sumed without any doubt that these
are the plans of the road
One party of surveyors are now in
the neighborhood of Antelope
Springs and another is at Henry
creek. Both are running line of
three distinct surveys and all are
headed for ely by the shortest and
most feasible route
The line will leave the main line
at Tintic and then bear directly west.
passing to the north of Mt. Morlah
and to the south end of Deep Greek.
taking in the thriving camps of
Black horse and Osceola and by the
new townsite of San Pedro.
This will mean line of about 290
miles from Salt Lake to Ely and by
the easy grades that will be made
heavy trains of ore will be enabled
to make the trip to the Salt Lake
smelters by the most economical
method.
1t Is expected that the plans OF
the company are to finish the sur
veys and have the cross-sectioning
and estimate work ali completed be-
fore winter sets in SO that the work
Of construction can be commenced
by the first of March of 1908. If
this is done in two years from now
at the latest the Clark route will be
hauling some of the vast tonnage of
this camp to the Salt Lake smelters
and Ely will have nearly direct
route to the city by the lake.
Not only will this route mean
much more to Ely than If the Phoebe
branch were extended but it will
open up the large rich ore
deposits with which the Black horse
and Osceola districts are reported TO
be possessed.

PRESBYTERIANS DISCUSS
ANTI-SALOON LEAGUE

DENVER. May 29.-The temper
ance question was the all-absorbing
topic today before the general assem-
bly, of the United Presbyterian
church. The question of endorsing
the anti-saloon league grew out of
the recommendation of the commit

discussion followed. The friends of
the anti-saloon league were success
full in having action on inter-church
temperance council held over for
another year. so that the support of
the United Presbyterian church
might not be divided and the resolu-
tions endorsing the anti-saloon
league of America were passed over
whelmingly.

DESPITE MONROE DOCTRINE
U. 8. MAY FORM TREATY

PARIS, May 29.-The accord on
the Japanese-Franco convention is at
present complete. The Japanese min
lister, M. Kurino, and Foreign Minis
ter Pinchot, will exchange signatures
before the week ends.
In order to prevent the possibility
of Misunderstanding France has for
mally communicated the terms of the
agreement to Washington with as
surances that it is in no way direct
ed against the United States.
The American government, after
an examination of the terms, replied
that 1t had absolutely no objection to
the convention.
The conviction prevails in dipio-
matte circles here that despite the
Monroe doctrine the United States
contemplates negotiating treaty
with Japan along lines similar to
those of the Franco-Japanese agree
ment.

Nuisance Cases Dismissed.

A motion for new trial in the
case of the state against George New
comb, convicted by jury of having
maintained nuisance by keeping a
cesspool at the rear of his place OF
business, was granted by Justicn
Cartwright yesterday afternoon.
A motion to dismiss the case was
then made and granted, on the
ground that the evidence presented
had not been sufficient to warrant the
issuance of the complaint. The mo-
ton was granted and the case was
dismissed. The case of the state
against Newcomb and against Ed.
Austin of the Mocha restaurant, at
tracted considerable attention at the
time the arrests were made, as the
Commercial club had at that time be-
gun a crusade to compel property
holders to keep their premises in a
sanitary condition.

DANCERS OBJECT
TO SAILORS

NORFOLK, Va, May 20
Replying to the official cogni-
ance taken by the navy Ge-
partment of the exclsion OF en-
listed men in uniform from the
dancing pavilion at the Pine
Beach resort, adjoining the
jamestown exposition GROUNDS,
the management of the pavil
ion today said that In exclud-
ing enlisted men in uniform it
had no idea of discriminating
against the service uniform,
but that owing to the public
prejudice against close assocIa-
tion with the uniform the pa
irons of the dancing pavilion
had declared they would with
draw if sailors were permitted
on the floor. Only for the pre-
seryation of the profit and life
of the dancing concessions,
they added, had the United
States seamen been excluded.

 mendafions Made.

The State Pension Board yesterday adjourned after adding 2415 new pen sioners to the States list of needy Confederates. their widows and off- springs
 The Board is composed of E. 8. Starr of Selma. pr. R. D. Jackson, of Birm- ingham. and R. J. Reynolds, of Aooe- vile.
 Applications for 2791 were examined. and 2415 were added to the present list of pensioners, leaving 27e applica- tions denied.
 The pensions were turned over to the Auditor and warrants will be mailed by October 1, carrying the money for the first quarter of the new year.
 The pensions are of four characters, the beneficiaries receiving s100, $50. s64 and $50 respectively. The first quarter payments will be s25, $2o. SIS and sl2.5O.
 Last year the old soldiers received s6O. $50, $40. and $30.
 The following recommendations were made to the Auditor.
 That all those be erased from the county rolls who have died: who have removed from the State: widows who have married or intend to marry; all who have gone to the soldiers home: all reported as deserters; all who have acquired too much property; All pen sions unclaimed; and transfer any on the roll from one county to another on request
 Also require probate judges to re- turn all unpaid pension warrants with In the time prescribed by the law and reinstate and return to the probate judges such unclaimed warrants as may be. asked for by them where sat- isfactory evidence is shown to you that the pensioner Is entitled to the same. When a pensioner dies before the pro- bate judge issues the warrant to him, and the probate judge is authorized to pay the funeral expenses, let him fur nish a certificate of such expense to you and return the unexpended balance to your office, to be, by you. returned to the State treasury for the credit of the general pension fund.
 Advance to the first class all Con federate soldiers, sailors and their wid- ows who are now drawing pensions. and who are over the age of eighty years; and in reference to all these rec concentrations this shall be your au- thority for so doing"
