"FIRST CLASS OR
NO NAVY AT ALL"
ROOSEVELT WOULD PREPARE
FOR WAR
PRESIDENT SAYS WE NEED MORE
SHIPS
Advances Argument That If Trouble
Arises Opponent Should Be Ham
mered Until He Is Through
Fighting

BY Associated Press.
NEWPORT, r. l., July 22.-President
Roosevelt, after an adventurous night
trip in the fog from Oyster Bay, during
which his yacht, the Mayfiower, ran
down and sank a lumber schooner, res
cuing the crew of six men on board,
arrived here at 9:45 a. IN. today and
later at the naval war college addressed
a conference of nearly a hundred ma
val officers, representing all branches
of the service, to consider plans for new
American battleships. President Roose-
welt made a stirring appeal for hard
hitting navy.
"I want a first-class fighting navy,
or no navy at ALL" said the president,
because first-class fighting navy is
the most effective guarantee of peace
the nation can have.
"There are always a number of ami
able and well meaning people," contin-
ued President Roosevelt, who believe
in having a navy merely for coast de-
fense. A purely defensive navy would
be almost worthless. To advocate such
a navy is like advocating a school of
prize lighting in which no one should
do anything but parry.
"I hope the institution will never have
to be hit. We should do everything
that honorably can be done to avoid
trouble. But when we do go to war
that war is only excusable If the navy
is prepared to hammer its opponent
until he is through fighting. And you
can't hammer your opponent If you
wait for him to come to the coast and
hammer you first. For the protection
of our coasts we need fortifications so
that the navy may be left free to
stretch out and destroy the enemy
That is its function"
President Roosevelt declared that
even if the United States had no island
possessions the need for an aggressive
naval policy would still be present
1.-THE Monroe doctrine he declared,
"had almost fallen into disgrace and
contempt until the American nation be-
gan to build up it's navy"
Discussing the question of immigra-
tion. the president declared that the
American people have right to say
who shall come and dwell among them.
1T Is our duty" he declared, ito ex-
ercise that right In a way calculated to
provoke the least friction. If we choose
to say who shall come, however, we
must be in trim to uphold that right in
case anybody challenges II"

FREIBERG, Saxony, July 22.-Grete
Beier, the 1S-year-old daughter of the
mayor of Freiberg, was beheaded last
night some time between dark and
dawn in punishment for the murder of
the man to whom she was engaged to
be married.
The executioner reached the city last
night. He carried box containing
the ak with which he did his work and
brought with him also a suit of even
ing clothes. The wearing of this garb
is an official requirement of the somber
occasion.
The preparations for the execution at
the prison had been completed and the
man did his work quietly and privately
and departed as quietly as he came.
The king of Saxony had refused a
pardon.
The personality of this young girl
and her thoughtfully arranged muir
der of her flance, a civil engineer
named Prefher, attracted international
attention. The social position of her
family was very high and she became
engaged to Preffler, a rich young pro-
fessional man. At her trial she admit .
ted that she visited her fiance's house
one evening, gave him cyanide of po-
tassium in a drink she mixed for him,
and then, to make sure of his death,
she shot him in the mouth with his
own revolver.
She then dropped the weapon at the
dead mans side, placed forged will
in her own favor on his desk, together
with a note of good by, also forged,
saying that he feared to lose her love
through the revelations of dishonor-
able liaison.
In addition to these papers the girl
t.al,t. ao1ye, 80 e..
letters purporting to come from
woman in Italy, accusing Preffler of
deserting her and threatening to tell
Crete everything.

SANTA BARBARA, July 22-Four
thousand tons of barley in the hold of
the steamer Anubis, which ran on a
sunken reef off San Miguel island Mon
day in dense fog, are conspiring with
the rocks to demolish the ship.
The vessel lies teetering on sharp
ledge, with bow and stern in deep wa
ter, her under hull amidships pune
tured. The barley, tightly packed in
the lower hold, is swelling, and the
steel hull is groaning under the burst
ing pressure of the enlarging grain.
Already cracks an inch wide have ap-
peared in the deck, and there is every
prospect of the vessels breaking in
twain at any moment. Captain Won
Salzen alone sleeps aboard, compelling
eighty-six of his crew and passengers
to remain on Flea island in camp.
They have little fresh water, their sup
ply having been stored in the hold, now
containing sixteen feet of water

ter, listed to port

they say.

Sheldrick, that his compass went
wrong during a dense fog and he got
off his course. The ship ran through
half mile of heavy kelp before strik-

"She now is surrounded by kelp.
There is no way for a relief steamer to
approach the wreck because of this
ocean growth and sunken lodges. The
ship lies a quarter of a mile northwest
of San Miguel island and same dis
