NAVY YARD IS

Extensively Repaired.

Vallejo Cal, July 1S.-In compli-
ance with orders just received at the
Mare Island navy yard the work Of
overhaulng the cruiser Raleigh at a
cost of nearly 100000, will begin as
soon as the Pacific fleet sails in Au-
gust. Work on the Monitor Wyoming
is also to be rushed, as the navy de-
partment desires to use her for oil
burning tests. For over year work
on the warships out of commission at
Mare Island has been suspended the
navy being engaged in making Incl
dental repairs to ships Of the Atlantic
and Pacific fleets. The force of work
ment is the largest in the history of
the yard. The installation of fire con.
troll systems on the West Virginia,
Maryland, California and South Da.
kota is being hurried preparatory to
their sailing. The yard officials expect
to complete this work on the West
Virginia and Maryland soon, and to
finish that on the California and South
Dakota after their return from the pro-
posed trip to Samona.

over Three Thousand Participate in
Parade--Officers Of Fleet Royalty
Entertained.

Honolulu, July 1S.-Comprising the
greatest military pageant ever wit
messed in this city 1900 men of the
Atlantic battleship fleet paraded yes
terday arousing enthusiastic cheers
from the dense crowds, which lined
the way along which they passed, The
line of march was along the princi-
pal streets of the city, and every
available post of vantage was occu.
pied long before the parade began.
Before the march began the men
were drawn up in company front at
the starting point, and a committee OF
a hundred Hawaiian women passed
along the ranks, placing about the
neck of each white clad Jackie" lei
or chain of close packed blossoms
characteristic of the islands. 1t was
a pretty ceremony, picturesque in the
extreme and officers and men joined
in hearty appreciation of the action
of the ladies. After this the formal re-
cepton to the officers of the feet was
rendered by the commander of the
naval station, Captain and Mrs. Rees
Last night the officers of the fleet

London, July 18.-The Saturday af-

enthusiasm on the three finals when
the days sport in the Olympic games
opened. All three races were won by

although handicapped by sore foot,
put up good race and came in third.
The other finals won by Great Britain
were the 200 metre breast stroke
race and the 5000 metre cycle race.

TAFT WILL NOT So
OPPOSE FORAKER
Presidential Candidate to Keep Out oil
Senatorial Fight in Ohio Says
Manager Vorys.

Hot Springs, Va, July lS.-Arthur l.
Vorys, manager of the national cam
paign in Ohio, has issued a statement
in regard to the senatorial situation
in his state, which he declares ought
to be satisfactory to all persons con-
cerned. The purport of the statement
is that the managers of the national
campaign will not interfere with the
election of a United States senator to
succeed Senator Foraker.
Il have no candidate for the SEN
atorship,' said Mr.. Vorys. This is
and has continually been Secretary
Taft's attitude respecting the sena-
torship. He stands where he always
stood, determined not to promote any
ones candidacy Or to place obstacles
in the way of any one who wants to
be a candidate. The fight for the
national ticket in Ohio has been, and
will continue to be, divorced from
the senatorial fight which stands on
it's own merits. There is no concerted
effort on the part of the Taft men to
defeat Foraker. Senator Foraker in
statement made recently in Wash
ington, put it right when he said
that he should proceed to elect a
Republican legislature. After that
the question Of who ought to be sen
ator can be settled. Everybody ought
to be content to stand on that prop
osition and | endorse 1t.

'Ns L0CA ITO n IDEAL
Queen City of the Plains to
Prevail Upon Chairman
Hitchcock to Take Action.

Denver, July 1S.--It developed to-
day that Denver wants the Republican
national headquarters for the West To-
Gated in this city and the aid of every
national committeeman and state and
territorial chairman in the West is
being sought with that end in view
The matter will be broached at the
conference to, be held next week at
Colorado Springs, which has been
called by National Chairman Frank
Fl. Hitchcock.
The plan is to have the manager for
Taft's campaign in the West open
headquarters in this city and direct
the fight from here. 1t is believed
that the plan will be successful, as it
is understood large number of those
who will attend the Colorado Springs
meeting have already signified their
intention of helping Denver get the
headquarters.
The location of this city for such
Is ideal, both geographically and as

TAFT VICTORY
SEEMS CERTAIN
James Speyer I axis
Optimistically
as to Future
PROSPERITY IS RETURNING
Capitalist Predicts Condi.
ton Wills Be Greatly I'm
proved by Fall.

New York, July 1S.-James Speyer
who sailed today on the Adriatic on
his annual European trip, had this to
say about the business outlook:
Everybody knows that the financial
and business situation has improved
during the last few months, and
believe it will continue to improve as
confidence, which has been severely
shaken, through number of causes
continues to be restored more and
more.
Judging from the past the election
of Mr. Taft seems reasonable Ger
tainty. The political situation, there.
fore, ought not to be too much Of a
disturbing factor. the more so as the
ill-considered attacks on capital dc
not find the same favor with the peo.
pie as they did little while ago.
THE crop prospects also are fair
and the easier money and credit sit.
uation should have a favorable inhu.
ence on the rival business generally.
Some important matters, especially in
relation to railways remains to be ad-
justed, but look forward to a gradual

HILL OPPOSES A
WAGE REDUCTION
Railroad Magnate Favors Advance
Freight Rates as Means Of In
creasing Net Earnings.

New York, July 1S.-There are just
three ways in which the problem now
facing the railroads of this country
may be solved, namely increased
rates, decreased wages, or increased
business, in the opinion of j. i Hara
han, president of the Illinois Centra
who arrived here yesterday on the
steamer Mauretania after vacation
trip to Europe.
J. j. Hill, chairman of the Great
Northern, is of the opinion that the
solution of the financial problem that
confronts the railroads is an increase
in freight rates. Mr.. Hin Is strongly
opposed to cut in wages as means
of increasing the net earnings OF rail
roads.
