for the navy, as only two instead or
four battleships are provided for.
Only the Beginning.
when you. build up navy, he
declared, you onl ybegin to spend
money. You commit the country to

View of the General Staff.
Mr.. Hale declared that anyone who
talks with the general staff of the
army, as senators have done within
few days, will be told that the
army has got to be doubled.
That" he said, ''is the opinion OF
the chief of the general staff, who IS
the head of the operating part OF the
army with authority during the pro-
longed. frequent and necessary alb
sences of the secretary of war.
IF this programme is carried out
we will have an army costing $2OO,-
600, 900, and nothing short of that
will satisfy the army. l hope who
ever the secretary of war shall be we
shall not be called upon to make TINS
enormous expenditure. l still have
on my mind a residum of hope that
the alleged programme for army en-
largement is not to be carried out,
and that the secretary OF war mas
not a programme for such expendl-
lures Of funds drawn from the peo-
pie. l wish to call attention to this
distinctive feature of the enormous
increases of the military establish
ments of the government to the pref
udice and hurt of appropriations that
are peaceful and which deal not with
soldiers and sailors, armies and ma
vies, ranks and grades, epaulets and
paraphernalia."

islands as "pestilence" which had

MOST VALUABLE POTATO FARM.
To Grow Tubers ON Land Worth
Million Dollars an Acre.

To Grow Tubers on Land Worth
Million Dollars an Acre.
The most valuable potato farm in
the world is to be seeded and Guilt
waited this season. Its site will be in
Central park, New York city. The
soil in the park has become so i'm
.poverished that it will not grow grass.
The park commission sometime ago
appealed to the agricultural depart
ment at Washington to know what to
do about it. The department advised
the planting of few crops of pota-
toes or corn, so potatoes are to be put
in. The land on which the tubers will
be planted is estimated to be worth
about 100000 an acre. The city,
therefore, cannot hope to sell it's crop
at a figure that would pay a fair in
terest on the vlaue of the land and
the cost of cultivation, since in that
event the price of each potato would
have to be almost as much as that
of beefsteak or a lobster.

SENATOR'S OF BOTH POLITICAL
FAITHS JOIN IN CRITiCISlNG
THE SECRETARY OF WAR.

For His Elaborate and Expensive
Army Programme. No Need EX-
lists for Great Army and Navy.
A warning against increasing ex-
penditures for the military establish
ment of the United States was sound
ed in the United States senate by
Senator Hale of the committee on
naval affairs, and his alarm was TAX
en- up and repeated by other senators.
The discussion was based on a
signed article in the Washington
Post saying in effect that Secretary
Taft favored a reorganization and an
enlargement of the army that would
bring it up to 1926, 900 men. The i'm
mediate occasion for Senator Hales
speech was the passage of the army
appropriation bill, carrying nearly
500, 100000, and he used it as show
ing the tendency of the times.
Moving to reconsider the vote by
which the army bill was passed Mr..
Hale said senators did not realize
that seventy per cent of the revenues
of the governmnt were today ex-
pended for what has been termed the
needs of the past, present and future
wars.
Enormous Increase of Expense.
What is going on" continued Mr..
Hale, without senators or the coun-
try being aware of it is the enormous
increases of the military establish
ment to the prejudice of all other
appropriations and claims. We can
not get consideration of other bills
because, as everybody knows, the rev.
enues are waning, and we are likely
TO be confronted with deficit and in
not many months ahead we shall be
found spending more money than
comes into the treasury from the ex-
listing and ordinary sources. We
cannot pass the omnibus appropria-
ton bill which has thousands of
items that ought to be paid as much
as a note at hand; we are to have
no river and harbor bill because it
is a peace bill; we can have no pub
lie building bill because the military
expenses are mounting so rapidly
that we cannot afford these items
that are for peace.
Mr.. Hale recapitulated appropria-
tions for army purposes, and said ev-
cry item represented greater appro-
priations for the future. There had,
he said, been an increase of $40 ,0OO,-
600 in the appropriations for the
army and about the same increase
for the navy. This, he said, did not

WILL CANVASS IN A BALLOON
This Wisconsin Politician Has Hit on
Something Really New.


To say that politician will take
the stump in balloon may sound
little mixed. yet that is just what
Sherbie Becker, the "boy mayor" of
Milwaukee, proposes to do. Sherbie
wants to be governor of Wisconsin,
and has hit upon the balloon idea of
making himself famous, like Milwau-
kee. Other candidates may affect au-
tomobiles, but he proposes to be orig
inal and progressive. He argues that
people will journey miles to see and
hear candidate making a speech
from a balloon basket, whereas they
wouldn't go a half mile to see and
hear q" candidate in an automobile.
Sherbie may also take his airship to
some of the county fairs and give
ascensions for the pleasure of pros
pective constituents. If he doesn't
break his neck but does break into
the governorship he will have blazed
a new path for spell-binders.

ELEPHANTS RAN OFF AGAIN
nc BRUTEs OF VAN ANiBERG
euow TERRORIZED COUNTRY.
Tbav Were Fired Upon Many Times
and Stick of Dynamite Was
EvnIOded Under Them.

and a Stick OF Dynamite "o'0
Exploded Under Them.
The Tampa Tribune gives the fol-
lowing account of the second esca-
made of the two Van Amberg ele-
phants since the show left Georgia
and went into Florida:
Two elephants, badly wounded as
a result of efforts to capture them al
ter their escape from the menagerie
of the Great Van Amberg Shows
were brought here last night and
lodged at the fair grounds, where
they will be treated for the next few
days
The elephants wre brought here
from Seffner, where they created a
reign of terror even greater than that
of the animals which escaped from
circus train at Live Oak two weeks
ago. They made their escape when
two cars of the Van Amberg show
train were derailed and partially
wrecked near Seffner Feeling their
freedom the beasts started to the
woods, and while attempting no real
damage kept the natives in a state
of terror which finally resulted in one
of the elephants being badly wounded
by dynamite which was set off under
him when all attempts to kill him
with a rifle had failed.
The accident which set the beasts
at liberty occurred one mile this side
of Seffner the morning after the show
left Tampa. Since that time the
beasts have been wandering in the
woods and fields in that vicinity
spreading terror among those who
had never before seen an elephant.
The reports brought here by the
men in charge Of the animals are lu-
dicrous in the extreme. They assert
that several Of the thinly populated
districts have been deserted entirely
as the result of the appearance of
such monstrous looking beasts as the
elephants.
The hides of the elephants are ex-
amples of the efforts that have been
made to STAY them. At an early hour
this morning a Tribune representa-
tive visited the fair grounds and saw
the animals. The larger of the two
had his front leg almost torn from
his body as a result of the discharge
of a heavy charge of dynamite.
1t is claimed by those in attend
ance that after a number of heavy
calibre rifle shots were fired at the
beast without seeming to affect him
stick of dynamite was placed
where it was expected the animal
would appear When he appeared
there the charge was set off by means
or an electric wire.
On the rough hides of each OF the
animals can be seen the fiattened
bullets from many rife shots. The
thick hides of these animals acted al
most as would armor plate, and not
a single one of the shots fired pene-
trated the skin.
The animals were brought to Tam
pa because it was thought better med
ical attention could be secured here.
Elephants are such expensive ami
mails. and so necessary to every show,
that no expense will be spared in saw
ing the life Of the one so badly
wounded.
