The providing of place entirely above

The bringing into circulation of vast

while there are many communities

ated as to banking facilities. statistics

out the United States. the combined
holdings OF thirty-fve states are but S
per cent. OF the total. There are. there

are practically without banking facili
ties. Indeed. It is found that In the
South the average distance from the
postofiice to the nearest savings bank
Is thirty.thrce miles: In the states west
OF the Rockies. fifty-ive miles.
There can be no question as to the
advisability of encouraging the foreign.
ers within our borders to make such
disposition OF their savings that some
benefit may accrue TO the communities
In which the;. are employed. Most of
tnese people come from countries III
which postal savings banks have long
been established. and they have little
confidence in any depository for saw

PRESIDENT IS ANXIOUS
We Need Battleships, He Says,
For Diplomatic Reasons.
C0NFERS WITH CONGRESSMAN

Talk With Watson, the Republican
whip Follows Sending Of Special
Message on Want Of Four New
Fighting Vessels.
Washington. April 15.-An important
conference was held at the White
House between President Roosevelt
and Representative Watson Of Indiana,
Republican whip" relative to the leg
islatiye programme in the house and
the movement looking to an early ad-
journment Of congress. The confer
ence lasted for more than two hours,
and afterward Mr.. Watson called on
Speaker Cannon to report what had
taken place at the White House.
Among the laws President Roosevelt
is anxious to have enacted at this SEES
sion are the four battleship proposition,
on which special message was sent
to congress; child labor bill for the
District Of Columbia and a bill to al
low employees of the government to
sue when injured in the line Of duty.
He realized, however, that everything
he favored CO. not go through. The
president, Mr.. Watson said, is particu-
larry anxious for the four battleships
and gave number of reasons in sup
Waterbury evening Democrat. [volume] (Waterbury [Connecticut]) 1903-1917, 1908-04-15


port of his contention. They were dip
lomatic secrets. but Mr.. Watson could
not divulge them. From what Mr..
Watson said, however. the inference
was drawn that congress was not like
ly to authorize more than two battle
ships.
The message concerning the battle
ships aroused great interest in con-
gress.
No Disarmament In Sight.
The message was a brief but vigor-
Gus contention for the rapid develop
ment of the navy. China was held up
as an example of the peace at any
price" doctrine and Great Britain as
having the naval policy TO be EMU
lated. II was contended that the result
of the last Hague conference made it
plain that the nations would not for
some time II ever agree on a plan Of
Limitation of naval armament. Dis
claiming any intention on the part of
the United States ever TO engage in a
war Of conquest, the president made IL
plain that this country could i'll afford
to relax into a position where insult
would have TO be borne in silence.
The message was in part as follows:
"As chief executive OF the nation and
as commander in chief of the navy
there is imposed upon me the solemn
responsibility Of advising the congress
of the measures vitality necessary to
secure the peace and welfare of the
republic in the event of international
complications which are even remotely
possible.
II advocate that the United States
build navy commensurate with its
powers and Its needs. because l feel
that such navy will be the surest
guarantee and safeguard of peace. We
are not a military nation.
Army Only a Skeleton.
"0ur army is so small rs TO present
an almost absurd contrast TO our size.
II is properly treated as little more
than a nucleus for organization in case
Of serious war. Yet we are a rich ma
ton. and undefended wealth invites
aggression. The very liberty Of indi-
vidual speech and action. which We so
prize and guard. renders IL possible
that at times unexpected causes OF
friction with foreign powers may sud
denly develop.
The United States can hope for
permanent career of peace on only one
condition. and that Is on condition Of
building and maintaining a first class
navy, aud the step TO be taken toward
this end at this time is to provide for
the building Of four additional battle
ships.
II earnestly wish dhat the congress
would pass the measures for which
have asked for strengthening and rem
dering more efficient the army a. well
az the navy. All Of these measures
as affecting every branch and detail
Of both services are surely needed. and
81 would BE- the part Of farsIghted wis
dom TO enact them all into laws. but
the most vital and immediate need Is
that Of the four battleships."

Subpoenas for Appearance In Denver
Case Set Aside by Court.

DENVER, July 1S.-Through a decision
handed down yesterday by District Judge
Allen in the case Of the Thompson Marble
Company against President Gompers and
the officers Of the American Federation OF
Labor and fifty officers and members OF
the Denver Building Trades Council. the
trades unionists gain first blood In the
battle being waged to attempt to secure
damages from the union men IN the
amount of $4,000 and to jail some of
them for alleged. boycotting.
Also the plans Of George c. Manley. at
torney for the marble company. to nave
Gompers and the officers OF the American
of court for failure to appear before q
notary public yesterday suffered defeat.
Papers in the suit in tort were served
on Gompers, John Mitchell. John B. Len
non and James Duncan of the American
Federation of Labor last week. when
they came to Denver to attend the meet
ing of the executive council and appear
before the resolutions committee OF the
democratic national convention.
AS soon as the summonses were served
Manley subpoenaed the labor leaders to
appear before a notary public to make
DISPOSITIONS as to their knowledge OF the
case. On advice of counsel they decided
to ignore the subpoenas and left the city.
Judge Allen upheld the contention OF
the attorneys for the labor leaders. and
they were not compelled to make deposit
tions in civil case on the ground that
their testimony might tend to incriminate
them in prosecutions pending.
