INVESTIGATION OF COLLISION TO

Naval Officers believe New Vessel Is

and Have Begun to
Dread 1t
ASSOCIATED Pressl

WASHINGTON Dec. IL Unless
Rear Admiral Schroeder, commander
in-chief of the Atlantic fleet, appoints
a court of inquiry into the collision
Thursday of the batteships Georgia
and Nebraska off the Virginia capes
the navy department will do so as soon
as tho full reports of the accident ar
rive in Washington.
For weeks the Nebraska has been
known as the unhappest ship in the
navy. Some officers have come to
dread her as they did the Texas.
Her latest trouble was linked with
the name Of Lieut.. u. S. Macy, for
some time ordnance officer of that ves-
sci. Unable to overcome the unkindly
fates that seem to hover over her, the
Nebraska made a miserable showing In
target practice as compared with some
of the other battleships.
The Nebraska was called upon to ex-
plain. Other ships were complimented.
Lieut.. Macy was in immediate charge
of this feature of the ships work. In
order TO justify himself, he wrote n
letter to the navy department explain
ing that the low score was not his fault
but was due to a practical state OF
mutiny aboard the ship, and other
things that were not very compliment
tary TO the commander of the vessel.
This letter got no further than Rear
Admiral Schroeder. He ordered a court
martial of Lieut.. Macy, who was ac-
quilted.
He was transferred to the other hoo
doc of the navy, the Texas, but was
finally rescued from that ship and sent
by Assistant Secretary Winthrop to
Minneapolis as recruiting officer.

CITY BOWLING CLUBS
MAKE RECORD SCORES
Big Total of 1868 for Three Games Is
Exceeded by Winners of the
Contest by 62
Points

Several unexpected things turned up
last weeh on the Spring street alleys
in the City Bowling league. First the
Morleys took three straight from the
National Hardware company team,
breaking the high team game record of
922 by rolling $685. and then broke the
record of 1868 for three games by roll
ing a total of 2725
These two records undoubtedly will
stand for some time. Then on Wednes-
day evening the Giambastiani Fuel
and Feed company's quintet made the
Baker & Hamilton five take water by
beating them three games. In these
contests Cunning of the Coal Heavers
tied his teammate, Jeffries; high indi-
vidual score, 236.
Although the Baker & Hamiltons are
in the lead on percentage the Morleys
lead in total pins, being at the head of
the percentage column with a grand
total of 1920 pins for eighteen games.
The standing Of the teams is as fol-
lows:

SANTA ANA OPPOSED TO
COUNTY LIBRARY PLAN

SANTA ANA. Dec 11.-Santa Ana seems
to be opposed to the forming of a county
library here under the act of the last
legislature authorizing such action. The
announcement that Miss Harriet Eddy
county library organizer, would be here
within a day or two for the purpose of in
yestgating conditions, brought the matter
before the people who are interested along
that line, with the result that more or
less determ ined stand will be taken against
the proposition. The trustees of the Santa
Ana public library have had meetings at
which the subject discussed, and the
opinion was expressed that the law throws
the library into politics.

The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1909-07-09

From the beginning of time white
has been a color much revered by hui
mainly. Nowadays we talk about a
white man" when we wish to desig-
nate good fellow, and in days gone
by beasts and birds which were of lily
hue were even deemed sacred That
idea still obtains to-day, at least to the
extent that white animals of all sorts
are highly priced by fanciers, and that
the most noted of the present-day
fancy farms are those which make a
specially of white stock.
Now that the taste for amateur
farming is becoming so universal, sew
eral Of these white farms are spring
ing up. but by far the oldest and best
known is that of Lady Abingdon. at
Crichel, England, which has been in
existence over IS years. says the Los
Angeles Herald Sunday Magazine
They saw probably the finest collec-
ton Of white stock that has ever been
assembled. The farm teams there are
white, or rather. pale gray, for there
is no breed of English horse extant
which IS pure white. The Shires come
the nearest to it, an these are easily
the finest of the kind in existence. as
Mr.. Armour, who went to British horse
shows with his prize pair of American
grays, and was in every instance beat.
en- by the Shires, can testify. Priced
even more by the Alingtons than their
splendid horses. however. is a rare
white mule, presented to Lord Ar
lington by the sultan of Turkey. This
unusual animal, aside from his unique
coloring, differs from most mere beasts

LOOKS OVER UPPER RIVER.
Federal Engineer Investigates Navi.
gabIity of Mississippi.

Brainerd.-E. J. Dugan, United
States engineer in charge of the gov
eminent water reservoir system in the
upper Mississippi valley, has COM
pleted an examination of the river
from Grand Rapids to Little Falls.
He says he found the river from
Grand Rapids to Aitkin in fairly good
shape. From Brainerd to Aitkin it is
in fairly good shape and navigable ex-
cept for the Deerwood bridge, which is
too low to let the large boats used on
the upper river pass under, except at
the very lowest stage Of water.
From Deerwood to Little Falls the
river is succession of wide, shoal
stretches with gravel bars. The only
thing which makes navigation pos
sible is that the logs have formed bars
and restricted the water to a narrower
channel with minimum depth of
eighteen inches.
1t is very probable, he says, that
the war department will, when money
is appropriated by congress for the
purpose, clear the river of snags and
the banks of trees.
