GENERAL STAFF ..
Fl. FOR ! /. THE 1 navy
Secretary .Newbef|ry's Plan
for the Reorganization Of
Naval Management Is In.
dorsed by Board Con-
sideflnq Il -. :.

Washington, D. c., Jan. 15.-ln-
dorsement was given today by board,
made TIP of persons who are believed
to have been prominently identified
with the naval establishment, to Sec
rotary Newberry's plan for,~the reor-
ganization of that branch of the naval
service. The appointment of this
board was the outcome of confer
ence between the president and MIR.
Newberry during which the whole sub
ject of naval reorganization was thresh-
ed out and at .Newberry's suggestion
its members were invited to come to
Washington to talk it over.
= A prolonged session at the navy de-
partment, part Of the time of which
Newberry was present until called to
the cabinet meeting, was followed by
luncheon to members of the board at
the White House when the question.
was again thoroughly considered. At
its conclusion the following statement
was given out at the White House:
1.-The particular thing for which the
conference was called has been achiev-
ed, as they approved of what had been
done thus far and made certain sug-
gestions as to which the president is
not yet prepared to speak"
Secretary Newberry declined to add
anything to the statement given out at
the White House. Such reorganiza-
ton measures as he had in view, part
of which have been put into effect, have
included the increase of the member
ship of the general board of the navy
and of the board of construction and
repair, making them more thoroughly
representative of the naval service than
is now the case, and to secure more
complete coordination than was posi-
BILE under the old system.

One of the subjects sin political adj

San Francisco, Vallejo and Fresno had
adopted the initiative previously and the
system was enlarged later.
Portland, Oregon, adopted the in
itiative and the referendum in it's mu-
nicipal charter. In 1906, Oregon, b.
popular initiative, voted 47,678 to

establish local direct legislation. 80

DOCTOR IN PAJAMAS
CHASES A BURGLAR
BECOMES PEEVIsH WHEN Rous.
ED FROM SLEEP AND GETS
~ HIS SHOTGUN.

Sioux Falls, S. D., Sept. Awaken
ing to find a burglar in his room, and
promptly giving chase IN his night
clothing and pursuing the intruder
through half the town, was the ex-
perience Of DIR. Arner, a prominent
physician OF Scotland.
The moving about OF the burglar in
the room awakened the physician, who
in the semi darlsness was able to dis
tinguish the form Of the INTRUDER as
he was searching for plunder.
Discovering that the doctor was
awake the burglar fled from the room
and house, and DIR. Arner, in his night
clothing, started in pursuit as soon as
he had procured a shotgun.
The fugitive was chased to the rear
of one of the big business blocks,
where the physician shot at him twice.
The night was dark, but DIR. Arner
believes he saw the man stagger as
though one OF the charges had taken
effect.
Losing sight of the burglar, DR.. Ar
ner returned to his apartments to
dress, when he made the discovery that
the burglar had stolen his trousers
containing pocketbook IN which there
was about 800 in money. The trous-
ers and empty pocketbook were after
| wards found on a sidewalk.
