JOSEPH LETTER TO WE'D
NOTED SOUTHERN BEAUTY
By Associated Press.

By Associated Press.
WASHINGTON, April 23.-The en-
ea cement of Joseph Letter of Wash
ingtCn and Chicago and Miss Juliette
Williams of this city, daughter of Col.
and Mrs. j. r. Williams, is announced
today.
The date of the wedding has not yet
been decided upon, but it is expected
to take place in Washington within a
few weeks. Mr. Letter is the son OF
the late L. q. Letter. Born In Chicago
in 1858 he was graduated from Har-
ward in 1891 In the autumn OF 1897
on the Chicago board of trade he was
the hero of perhaps the largest ana
most daring deal in wheat this coun-
try has even known.
In every fashionable assemblage
during the past winter there has been
no more striking figure than Miss VIII
liams. who is scarcely more than 20.
Miss Williams was educated at
Georgetown convent in this city, aft
erward spending four years in Europe.
She made her debut last winter at one
of the largest teas of the season.
Los Angeles herald., 1908-04-24

steps should be taken to protect the
interests on the Pacific. These inter-
ests increase daily and commerce is
being extended to new ports along the
Pacific coast and our trade with the
orient is growing rapidly, making 1t
absolutely necessary for strong fleet
in these waters.
"I certainly believe 1t would be
agreeable to have the big fleet remain
in these waters" said United States
District Attorney Oscar Lawler
yesterday, when asked for his opinion
on The Herald's editorial concerning q
Pacific squadron. "I favor having this
fleet or another of equal size, whose
personnel would be equally agreeable"
In Favor of Fleet
Motley II. Flint. postmaster and
chairman of the fleet subcommittee for
entertainment of enlisted men, said:
'I am most strongly in favor of hav-
ing a Pacific fleet just the same as an
Atlantic fleet. 1 was talking with the
commander of a battleship only some
time ago, and he thought that the fleet
certainly ought to be here. I don't
see why the United States doesn't
wake up to the fact that there is
Pacific as well as an Atlantic ocean,"
General Frank c. Prescott, register
of the Los Angeles branch of the
United States land office, said:
1.-THE question of this fleet remaining
in these waters or another fleet just
as strong is for the government to de-
eide, of course. AS for the question of
having some such fleet on this coast
there can be but one answer from the
people of the west whose trade is to be
protected. That there is great
necessity for such a power is assured
ly appreciated by American citizens
who wish to pursue their friendly and
peaceable trading on the ocean with
out any menace from another power
One of the officers of the visiting
fleet said:
Get after your congressman. You
should have sixteen other battleships-
all of them to be stationed permanent
ly on this coast. But I appreciate that
it was not the western but rather the
eastern congressman who prevented
the passing of measures which would
have made it possible to have other
battleships built. However, get after
your congressman to make their influ-
ence felt at Washington to counteract
that other set of congressman opposing
such measures-that is the only way"
