President Addresses Confer
enCe of Naval Officers.
BEST GUARANTEE OF PEACE
Expresses the Hope That This Coun-
try Will Never Have to Go to War,
but Should the Occasion Arise the
United States Navy Should Be Pre-
pared to Hammer Its Opponent Un-
I'll He Quits Fighting.

Newport, r. l., July 23.-President
Roosevelt, after an adventurous night
trip in the fog from Oyster Bay, dur
ing which his yacht, the Mayfower,
ran down and sank a lumber schooner,
arrived here at 9:45 a. m. and later in
the forenoon at the naval war college
addressed a conference of nearly one
hundred naval officers. representing
all branches of the service, to con-
slider plans for new American battle
ships. President Roosevelt made a
stirring appeal for a hard hitting
navy.
81 want a first class fighting navy
or no navy at all" said the president,
because a first class fighting navy is
the most effective guarantee of peace
this nation can have.
There are always a number of
amiable and we'll meaning people who
believe in having a navy merely for
coast defense. A purely defensive
navy would be almost worthless. To
advocate such a navy is like advocat-
ing a school of prize fighting in which
no one should do anything but parry.
Il hope this nation will never have
to hit. We should do everything that
honorably can be doue TO avoid trou-
BILE But when we do go to war that
war is only excusable if the navy is
Prepared to Hammer Its Opponent
until he quits fighting. And you can't
hammer your opponent If you wait
| for him to come to the coast and
hammer you first. For the protection
of our coasts we need Notifications so
that the navy may be left free to
stretch out and destroy the enemy.
| That is its function"
President Roosevelt declared that
even if the United States had no isl
and possessions the need for an ag-
gressiye naval policy would still be
present. The Monroe doctrine" he
declared, had almost fallen into dis
grace and contempt until the Amer
ican nation began to build up its
navy"
Discussing the question of emigra-
tion the president declared that the
American people have a right to say
who shall come and dwell among
| them.
1T is our duty" he declared, ito
exercise that right in a way calcu-
lated to provoke the least friction. II
we choose TO say who shall not come,
however, we must be in trim to up
hold that right in case anybody chal-
| lenges it,"
President Roosevelt declared that
the cruise of the battleship feet
| around South America was the most
| instructive object lesson ever offered
| of the reality of the Monroe doctrine.

Deaf Clients Not Popular.

A man in the Tombs for theft con- suited three different lawyers, each of whom seemed unwilling to undertake his defense. The fourth man inter viewed was also on the point of de clining the case.
 Look here! the accused broke out angrily. What's the matter with you fellows, anyhow? This isn't difficult case. You ought to be able to get me off easily, and I'm willing to pay"
 "The trouble Is this" said the fourth man frankly. You are very deaf. No lawyer likes to defend deaf man un- less he is hard pushed for clients or Is going to receive tremendously big fee. A deaf man Is so very likely to queer his own case. If he would only trust implicitly to the lawyer he would be all right, but that is something he sell dom does. He cannot hear what is go- ing on about him, so he flies into a panic and fancies his lawyer Is neglect ing his interests, and the first thing anybody knows he blurts out some thing that ruins the case. really can't blame those other men for turning you down. I shall do the same thing unless you will promise upon your honor not to speak only when I tell you to- New York Press.

 pr. Gayer, describing the treatment, said: 'Soon after her marriage the subject was put to sleep by hypnotic power. I said to her one day when she was in the cataleptic sleep, Anna, your child will be a boy There was resentment of this, for a boy was not the first wish of her dawning mother hood. But I had sounded the keynote. and 1 sounded 1t again and again until she, too, chimed in. After that in her subconsciousness the desire for a boy was as strong as her husbands. The subconscious self rules the physical phase of the human quantity as well as the spiritual. It was not long be- fore 1 obtained material evidence of this. Immediately preceding the first hypno-suggestion treatment of Mrs. Folgen blood was drawn from the sub ject. Under test 1t indicated 3,J00,000 red corpuscles.

Blood tests were made from time to time until by repeated hypnotic sug- gestion in line with the result an aver age of 5,0O00OO red corpuscles@ was reached, a condition maintained for several months preceding the birth of the boy

The market yesterday was again dull in the absence of any news of moment affecting the business interests of the country. There were gains in some of the railroad and industrial stocks, nota. bly the Hartman group and Atchison. Steel common was also well bought and closed full point above Monday s closing quotation. The dinner to be given today by Judge E. II. Carey to the steel magnates of the country, in cluding the heads of the independent csmbanies, is likely to have a favor able effect upon steel securities, as the concensus of opinion to be expressed at the dinner is expected to be encourag ing if not optimistic. The indisposition to sell stocks regarded as a most fav orablc sign, the president s message be- ing rather more conservative than was expected, q gradually hardening tend ency of the market may be looked for.

The 1908 volume of business on the stock exchange will probably exceed the turnover during 1907, notwithstand- ing the enormous trading during the "silent panic' of March and the un- named panic of October year ago. Stock sales since January l have reach ed 17S,000,000 shares, against 1S7 ,000,- 900 up till this time vast year. Turn ing to bonds, the comparison becomes a contrast, if the expression is allowed. Whereas during rhe eleven months of 1907 only $500,000,00O bonds were sold on the exchange, the aggregate for the current year is twice as large-$l, ,0l5,- 000,000 to be exact. This phenomenal bond business reflects absorption of in- vestments by thousands of people of moderate means from Maine to Califor- mia, as well as by influential Europeans, and the demand promises to continue on scale sufficient to permit of sound corporations floating the large amount of capital necessary to equip them to handle the business 1909 should bring.
