GRANDEsT NAVAL DISPLAY
When Evans Fleet Reaches San

When Evans Fleet Reaches San
Francisco Bay.
WASHINGTON, D. c., March a.
When the battleship feet reaches San
Francisco, about the middle of April,
Secretary Metcalf promises to the
people of the Pacific coast 1.-The
grandest naval display in the history
of the country" Plans for the dis
play have been perfected in detail by
the navy department. Forty-five
American fighting ships will occupy
San Francisco bay. The secretary of
the navy, aboard the Yankton as his
flagship, will review the feet.
The ships. which include the 16
battleships of Admiral Evans feet,
besides the West Virginia and the
Nebraska, the heavy 14,5OO-ton
cruisers Tennessee, Washington,
South Dakota, California, Colorado
and Maryland; the cruisers Charles
ton, Milwaukee, st. Louis and AL
bany, and the complement of torpedo
boats and auxiliary ships will be an
chored in the bay from Mission
wharf to Hunters point. Their po-
sition is not on line with the ferries
between San Francisco and Oakland,
but in easy view of each city.
The Yankton, bearing the flag Of
Secretary Metcalf, will pass between
the columns of ships. The roar of
saluting guns, the music of naval
bands, the gala appearance of the
harbor craft and of the cities which
fringe the harbor will enhance the
spectacle.
The exact date of the review has
not been fixed, but it will be held
shortly after the middle of April,
when the fleet will have completed
its historic cruise, had a months tar

the gauntlet of receptions at San
Diego and Los Angeles and has had
time to allow the anchors to rest in
the hospitable sands of San Fran

The latest phase of the accommo-
dations is the enthusiasm which the
women's clubs of San Francisco have
displayed in program to provide
entertainment for the $1,000 enlisted
men who are making the cruise with
Admiral Evans. According to these
arrangements, the enlisted man is to
be the hero of the occasion.
Secretary Metcalf, a Californian,
is allowing his native enthusiasm to
dominate, and is taking personal in
terest in every detail of the plans be-
ing made.

Statistics Of COZ Columbia Students
Reveal Fact.

NEW YORK, March 2.-Dr. Geo.
L. Meylan, physical director of Co
lumbia university, has just complet-
ed statistics showing the effect of the
use of tobacco upon COZ students,
mostly freshmen, who have entered
Columbia in the last two years. DR..
Meylan found that the physical con-
dition of the mokers-that is, their
weight, height and lung capacity and
total strengths, on the average,
better than that of the non-smokers.
He admits, however, that tobacco
may affect the heart.

TOWN WITH BUSINESS MANAGER
Virginia Community Starts Novel
Experiment in Municipal
Government.

An instructive experiment in municipal
administration Is under way in Staunton,
Va. a city Of 1900 inhabitants, where the
local authorities have intrusted the job Of
running the town to a business manager.
The city retains the form of political or.
ganization required by law. and is gov
erncd from Ii legal standpoint by a mayor
and city council. These officers, however
have delegated the purely business func.
tons of local administration to the bust.
ress manager, elected by them for a
period OF one year and directly responsible
to them. He is given a free hand in buy.
ing city supplies and in making municipal
contracts. Every three months he submits
a report to the council, as to a board Of
directors. and his acts are passed upon
usually with approval. He suggests such
legislation as Is required to authorize his
projects. In brief. his position is practi.
cally the same as that OF the general man.
ager of a large business corporation.
Staunton's business manager has been in
office since last April. Since that time he
has evidently made good, for after having
given him a term OF one year, the council
has reelected him for another term. He
has saved money to the taxpayers, sc-
eording to his own statement, and given
them an economical and efficient service.
For one thing. he was able TO place con.
tracts for granolithic paving at n cents a
square yard instead of the 50 the council
was paying prior to his appointment. These
results are analogous to those accom-.
plished by the commission form OF gov
eminent in other cities. AS every one
Knows. the difficulty OF converting a NUM-
ciPal administration into a purely business
proposition is that local government is a
political as well as a business affair, and
the two things cannot be legally separ-
ated. The Virginia town seems to have
overcome this difficulty by the simple ex.
pedient Of employing an officer TO conduct
the purely business part of local admin.
istrstion. while the political functions are
retained in the city officials regularly
chosen by tho people In accordance with
the state constitution and laws. II lie a
system worth careful study by all munich

EYE TROUBLES
Caused by improper Food.

Most people would never think of con-
Meeting eye disease with the food they
eat. But when we remember that every
part of the body-every organs nour-
ished by the blood and the blood is made
OF the food we eat, IT seems reasonable
to trace even eye troubles to food.
A N. Y. man had an interesting ex-
perience at one of the great hospitals in
that city that may benefit persons who
chronic eye trouble. He writes:
-Four years ago / was stricken with an
eye trouble. After being unsuccessfully
treated by several physicians and ocou-
lists, went TO a noted New York hospital.
On examination they pronounced my

They had TO operate on my right eye,
keeping me in a dark room and on a
strict diet for several weeks. When leav-
ing, the doctor cautioned me in regard

must be temperate as to my diet and use
neither tea nor coffee.

siole for me to get and live on what they

JURY NET CATCHES MANY
Seventy-Five Indictments Returned,
Mostly Against Tobacco Dealers.
CITY EMPLoYE UNDER CHARGE
". T.. Peterson OF City Engineers
once Accused Of Soliciting Paving
SIEnRtures-Mrs. Brown IN
Gambling House Charge.

BY a return of severty-five indictments
shortly after 3 o'clock yesterday afternoon
the county grand jury practically COM
pleted the work OF hearing complaints for
law violations and will devote the. rest OF
the time to the compiling of its report to
the court, which. it is believed will, be
handed in Monday, or Tuesday.
OF the seventy-five returns made yester-
day more than sixty were against cigar
Gealers and gfocers for selling tobacco to
minors. Several more were ordinary police
cases.
The only city employeSn the list was Ed
ward T. Peterson. chief clerk in the city
Ell glneer's office. who is charged with mall
feassnce in office, The particular offense
charged against him is soliciting names for
paving petitions In behalf of certain paving
contractors. This is alleged to be a viola
tion of the statute prohibiting city employees
from accepting pay from contractors with
the city. 1t is understood there was no
evidence OF fraud brought out, but the
grand jurors considered it both a violation
of law and bad practice for employees to
receive pay from contractors even though
the work was done out Of office hours and
without affecting the work of the employee.
Several other city employees, 1t is under
stood, were investigated, but nothing dis
closed which would warrant an indictment.

the voters who stayed at home while
Munson, drawing fat salary from the

the county packing delegations which
go into the convention to do his dirty
work. And who does Munson repre-

tent Mr.. French is guilty of as dirty
politics as his political manager Mum
son, with all his gall and unadulterated
brazenness is capable of forcing down

good politics, but it is hardly probable

At Hatton, Wash, it is necessary to
depend on the city pumping plant for
water for the threshing outfits in that
vicinity. But owing to the Sunday

and as result many horses were last

thirst. It looks like it was carrying
things too far. Whoever is responsible
for such useless suffering on Sunday or
