TEST
PLEASES MANY
HIGH OFFICIALS

Washington, June 14.-Secretary of
the Navy Metcalf and Secretary of
War Taft arrived here today ON the
presidents yacht Mayhower, which
docked at the navy yard early this
morning. They were highly gratifed
with the success of the torpedo test
on the monitor in Hampton Roads
yesterday. The experiments demon
stated, Mr. Taft said, that the hull
Of modern war vessel is strong
enough to withstand the powerful ex-
plosive force of a service torpedo. The
other members of the party were
Brigadier General Clarence r. Ed
wards, chief of the bureau of insu-
lar affairs; Lieutenant Colonel
Charles l. McCawley, of the Marine
corps, and Lieutenant Commander
Clelland Davis of the navy.
Secretary Metcalf will leave Wash
ington tomorrow for California, where
he will spend about two months in
hunting and walking trips in the
mountains. He will go by way of
Chicago, but will not stop there for
the convention, remaining in Chicago
only long enough to change trains.
During his absence the navy depart
ment will be in charge of Assistant
Secretary Truman H. Newberry.

Besides, Congressman Kennedy once

Kennedy. Few outside of Haldeman
had the nerve to stand up against the
Speaker element, but Haldeman did.
Kennedy is not unappreciative and
would like to have him in office.
One Salemite who isn't afraid to
tall the situation tells some things.
IKE nedy would like to appoint Hal

having a fraternal feeling natural to
the newspaper profession, is for Brush
and wants to turn the honor over into
his care and let Atchison have the Of

meantime seeking to hold all in line.

expired and Tayler turned over the
matter to Ed King who had made
promises. There was a petition as long
as from here to kingdom come signed
for James Jessup, among numerous
other candidates, and it went in. DR..
Miles was appointed. A request was

to follow in the footsteps of Judge
Tayler and let his secretary make

think so.
Another thing. Kennedy has prob
ably heard by this time that the bus
mess men of Salem are planning to
give Brush some vigorous newspaper
opposition, both in a business and po-
litical way, and this is not altogether

Washington, June 14.-With the

peerless leader.
The Gray headquarters at Denver

The fact that pneumonia might be

manner which suggests very bad
cold. The patient has a chill and
fever and suffers from pains In the

During all of this period the blood Is

the exhaustion will grow more and
more marked, and the patient will die.

will be more regular, and the violent
