DUMA WILL DEMAND
REFORM IN MARINE
MINISTER Is SEVERELY CEN
SURED IN RESOLUTIONS
Main roint of Indictment Will Be Pur-
chase of Ten Torpedo Boats from
New York Firm Unsuited
for Fighting

BY Associated Press
ST. PETERSBURG, June "a series
of interpretations with regard to the
disorganization and alleged negligence
and incapacity of the ministry of ma
rine have been approved by the COM
mittee of national defense and are to be
discussed in the duma tomorrow. All
parties are In favor of resolutions Sc
Verely censuring the ministry and de-
manding immediate reform.
One of the main points of the lndict-
ment is the purchase of ten gasoline
torpedo boats from Lewis Nixon OF
New York, which are now declared TO
be utterly unsuited for lighting. The
defense of the ministry on this charge
is that 1t concluded its purchase from
Mr.. Nixon in order to prevent the Jap
anese from securing the boats in ques-
ton.
Other attacks are based on the con-
struction of the new cruiser Rurik,
whose speed is inferior to that of yes
sells of the same type constructed
abroad, and alleged devia tions from the
specifications by the English builders
in the construction of three new war
ships of the Bayan type, although TINS
type was proven during the Russo
Japanese war to have been Of little
value.

CattIeman

Detective Sergeant William H. kel-
ley received telegram from Lewis
town. Mont. last night announcing the
sudden death yesterday afternoon of
his father, o. W. Kelley
Q. w. Kelley was one of the pioneer
cattlemen and ranchers of Montana,
and one of a hardy few who carved
a home out of the wilderness for mod
ern civilization.
AS a representative of law and order
in the days when 1t required man
of more than ordinary courage to stand
for the right, he was foremost and his
name is written large In that list of
pioneers who took Montana when 1t
was wild and woolly outpost and
made it the great and sovereign state
it is today.
One of the saddest features in con-
nection with the death of the old pio-
neer Is the fact that his son, Detective
Kelley, who had not seen him for four
teen years, had planned to go to Mon
tana this summer on visit to ms
father, expecting to leave for Lewis
town wher his vacation begins in July.

long as granite shall last" During the
presentation ceremonies dozens of ami

and refreshed.
Standing at the junction of two ar
teries of vehicle traffic it's usefulness
and need were evident.
Before the formal presentation Dr.
f. l.. Conger of Pasadena, through
whom that city got the first fountain
and who next gained the one for Los
Angeles in advance of It's turn, spoke
of the giver and the gift. He told how
Mr.. Enrign, rich New Yorker, gave
his entire fortune to the work of pro-
viding relief and refreshment for the
dumb animals that could not speak for
themselves. He also explained that
Francis f. Browne, editor of the Chi
cago Dial, q winter visitor at Pasa-
dent, had aided in getting the monu-
ment.

by w. H. Chamberlain, president of the
Los Angeles S. p. c. A. In presenting
1t he thanked DIR. Conger for his i'm
portant work. The acceptance was by
Mayor Harper, who, incidentally, said
Los Angeles needed a man of DR.. Con-
gers enterprise and tenacity to or
ganize the giving that would enable
Los Angeles to utilize Central park as
a public library site.
The monument cost about $1,000 be-
fore erection. 1t has two bronze plates
identifying the gift and the giver, thus:

name Alliance. Hermon Lee Ensign,

geles Society for the Prevention Of
Cruelty to Animals"
Above the capstone is an electric
light In a round iridescent globe. In
the future this will be a beacon light
to thousands Of tired and thirsty ami
mails as they journey toward home.
Even the least animals will learn to
know the light for the basins at the
foot are situated so that even the
smallest may slake their thirst.
And there are tin cups for the use Of
man.
