CHARGES AGAINST
 NAVY UNFOUNDED

London. August 13.-The imperial de- fense committees subcommittee, which was appointed to investigate the recent criticisms made by Admiral Lord Charles Beresford, of the state of the navy bo, issued It's report. which is signed bv Premier Asquith, the Earl of Crewe. sec- retary of the colonies: Viscount Morley secretary of India; Sir Edward Gray secretary of foreign affairs, and Richard Haldane, secretary of war
 The report practically exonerates the admiralty of Admiral Beresford's charges of havnig endangered the country by the unwise organization and distribution of the fleet, having too few cruisers and small craft, and inefficient war plans. but 1t finds that both the admiralty and Ad- miral Beresford are blamable for inhar- monious cooperation.
 The report is an extensive detailed document, covering several pages After stating that the board of admiralty failed to take Admiral Beresford sufficiently into their confidence, and that the ad- miral failed to appreciate the executive boards instructions, the report says that the committee has been impressed with the difference of opinion among the off, cers of high rank regarding important principles of naval strategy and tactics, and that they anticipate with much con fidence the further development of the naval war staff.

ORDER SIGNED.
Freedom From Matteawan Will Extend
 to August 18.

Mt Vernon, N. T., August 1S.-Harry K Thaw will go back to Matteawan Wednesday, August IS. Justice Isaac N. Mills today signed the formal order returning him to the asylum on that date. He said that he allowed Thaw to stay five days more at the White Plains jail on the plea of his mother. The justice s recommendations that Thaw be granted the privileges he enjoyed the first three months he was at the institution was made mandatory and part of the order.
 The order for Thaws recommitment brought to Justice Mills chambers here today by Deputy Attorney General Amos H. Stephens provided for sending Thaw back to Matteawan forthwith
 The state authorities had planned to take him there this afternoon. When the document was submitted to the jus tce Charles Morschauser, Thaw's attor- ney, asked that his clients transfer be delayed for few days.
 MT. Thaw's mother,' he said, "called me on the telephone this morning and asked that her son might be permitted to remain at White Plains until Tuesday. He said there were certain matters she wished to arrange with him. which could be attended to better at White Plains than at Matteawan."
 Mrs. Thaw wants time, among other things. to arrange for a residence at Matteawan, so that she can occupy 1t as soon as herh son returns,' said Mr. Nor schauser. VI

NEW COUNTY HEARING
 GIVEN MONDAY NIGHT

best friends admittedly are afraid of the committee. When 1t comes up in the sen ate Senator Hamburger will lead the fight for the bill. while Senator Miller will lead the opposition.
 While this would appear to be a fight between a prohibition leader and an antl- prohibition leader, the prohibition issue will not figure, as a number of those who voted against constitutional prohibition are in favor of keeping Jefferson county intact.
 The chances look toward the defeat of the new county, provided Jefferson keeps up hard fight, and sends down a big lobby Monday, keeping 1t here until the bill is disposed of.
 Representative urquhart gives no notice of calling up the commission bill. He Is very quiet and seems to have some thing up his sleeve in the way of a sur prise. The governor will hands off the fight and Is the house Is as inimical to the Jefferson delegation and as ugly tenn pered as it was today, the bill will lose in the house. There seems to be no chance of passing 1t through the senate.

Washington, August 13.-(Special9-The personality of the new chairman of the House committee on banking and cur rency. Edward Butterfield Vreeland of New York, is attracting much notice the country over. not alone because he sue ceeds one of the most prominent men in the house, MT. Fowler, but because of the important duties that will oevolve on him when the report of the monetary commission comes out. MT. Vreeland Is a. member of the monetary commission. and for the past year or so has been devoting his days and nights to the study of financial questions.
 He learned great deal when abroad with the commission last summer, and has been reading deeply since.

CECIL LYON IS AGAINST
 DIVIDING UP THE PIE

Washington, August 13-(Special) )-Col. Cecil A. Lyon, republican national com mitteeman from Texas. and now here. has views regarding the appointment of cen sus supervisors in the south which are probably identical with those of most of the republicans in that section if they were also to speak out. The Texan says:
 T have very decided views regarding the patronage in the southern states am a believer in the old doctrine of TO the victor belongs the spoils.
 Now. if it were proposed to give the democrats and republicans an equal di- vision of the patronage in ail of the states, I would not object, and might even consent to say that 1t was a good thing, but to pick out few states in the south and propose to give the democrats

half of the plums, that doesn't strike me a little bit. If 1t is the purpose to ap- point as many democratic supervisors of the census as republicans, l say make 'em all democrats. We don't want any of the offices under those conditions.
 Texas gave the republican ticket 7S000 votes in the last election, which was a gain of 10000 over the vote 1t gave Roose- welt four years ago. And these were most all white votes too. There are some 100000 negroes in Texas, but there are not 5000 qualified negro republicans in the state. It seems that they simply will not pay the s1 poll tax, which is neces- sary to qualify them as voters. They are indifferent in political matters.
 We cast more republican votes in Texas last fall than in all the other states bordering on the Gulf of Mexico com bined, yet I am not saying that Texas is the most reliable republican state in the union."

Taking a Last Irink of Whisky to Sustain Him He Called Wit
 nesses to Prove He Had :
 Not Been Drinking.

Atlanta, August 13-Passengers who were on the Southern train wrecked near Bristol, Va, last evening arrived here tonight bringing details of the bravery of Engineer Samuel Bush of Knoxville, Tenn. Bush was slowly and painfully working his way out of the wreck of his engine, scalded and frightfully bruised, when the few passengers who retained their senses dug into the mass of twisted and burning iron to meet him. He was lifted out upon the ground and a hurried call for physicians resulted in the discovery that there was not doctor on the train. As the passengers began d hunt for whisky to stimulate him and were breaking open suit cases in their search Bush asked for a last look at his old engine, as hopeless a wreck as was it's engineer. When they came to him with the liquor, he begged them to look after the comfort of the passengers. Told that no passengers had been injured. he said
 That's good. But before I take this whisky. want you men to smell my breath and testify, if need be- that I had not been drinking when this happened.
 Although suffering horrible agonies, the brave engineer would not touch the stim- ulant until four of the men had smelled his breath and promised to bear witness to his sobriety.
 "All an engineer has is his record,'' he said feebly, land he cannot afford to have anything against that.
 And Engineer Bush went out upon his last-run with his record spotless.

Senator Miller then moved that the bill be indefinitely postponed. Senator McWhorter honored the gentleman from Jefferson for having carried out his pledges, but urged the passage of the bill. and the assertion of a state pride. The motion to postpone was lost, 19 to B.
 Mr Miller then introduced an amend ment leaving out North Birmingham. and Senator Overton's motion to lay it on the table carried Is to 10. MT. Miller then sought to have an amendment adopted which divided Greater Birmingham into two territories, one the present city and the other the outside suburbs. and allowed both to vote on the annexation This was lost r to 10.

The legislature, with four-year waits. must elect in 1911, successor to Bank head, whose term ends 1913. But If there could be established two-year legislatures the present Governor would be out of office more than year in 1915 to which date election could be extended.
