PLANT MINES IN

EXPLOSIVES PUT IN "RACE'
AT 800 FEET
Wants Reorganization Of Ocean Front
Gunmen, SO as to Make 1t lnde-
pendent of Other Arms
Of Service

WASHINGTON, Dec. 9-After years
of endeavor submarine mines have been
planted in the deep waters of the
Race" at the eastern entrance to
Long Island sound, and New York city
is today better fortified against attack
by sea than ever before.
Announcement of the solution of this
difficult problem was made today by
Gen. Arthur Murray, chief of the coast
artillery, in his annual report to the
secretary of war.
Until recent experiments were made
it was believed by army and navy of
fcers that mines could not be planted
in water deeper than 100 or 125 feet.
It was found however, by officers
of the coast artillery that it was quite
as easy to plant the mines in deep
water as in shallow water, if heavy
enough anchors were obtained. So with
anchors weighing 1900 pounds mines
We're planted in the race" at depth
of 125, then 200 and finally 300 feet.
Gen. Murray recommended in his re-
port the permanent assignment of one
submarine as a part Of the essential
defense Of each of the following points:
Admiralty inlet, Washington; san
Francisco, the entrance to the Chesa-
peake bay and the entrance to Long
island sound from the east. These
would be used as an adjunct to the
harbor defenses already there.
He asks for a reorganization of the
coast artillery so as TO make it inde-
pendent of other arms Of the service.

DISMISS MAILING CLERK
FOR GIVING HIS VIEWS

SEATTLE, Wash, Dec. 9.-Charged
with insubordination. agitation, disor-
ganizatiOn and disrespect to superiors,
H. NJ. Wells has been dismissed as
mailing clerk in the local postoffice by
an order from Washington, d. c.
The alleged violations of the regula-
tions of the postoffice department were
committed through the publication in
the Bundy Recorder, the monthly pub
lication of the postoffice clerks union,
of which Wells is editor, of several
articles written by him in criticism Of
the postal rules.
These articles, it is charged, tended
to incite disrespect for the postal Of
ficials and discomfort among employees.
The order of President Roosevelt
which prohibits postal clerks from
becoming conspicuous by the ex-
preston CT their political and religious
opinions was also criticised by Wells.

SURVIVOR OF GREELY
EXPEDITION DECLARES
CHARGES UNRELIABLE

SAN JOSE, Dec 9.-That the state
ments reported to be contained in affi-
daVits sworn to by Dunkle and Loose
and published by the New York Times
cannot be given credence by people
who have lived In Arctic regions is
the belief of Maurice COnnell of this
city, survivor of the Greely expe-
dition.
Connell says:
1T is stated that this former navi-
gator Loose, sWears that having the
basis Of an observation of the star
Capella, he warned DR.. Cook that his
narrative must say the star rose at 4
O'Clock on the morning of January 49,
THE star Capella neither sets nor
rises during the Arctic night. It's
northern declination is about 46 de-
grees. Stars with a northern declina-
tiOn Of more than % degrees neither
rise nor set anywhere within the Arc
tic circle. They revolve around the
polar star just as circum-polar stars
to this latitude do.
Furthermore, why should DR.. Cook
make a star observation to determine
his position in January when he knew
lis position, being in the village at
AnnatOk?
"When he started out from that vii
lage on his northern journey. and up
to the time he lost sight Of land, he
had good Arctic charts to guide his
course and locate his position every
day."

Heirs
(On Sale Saturday,

VICTORIA, B. c., Dec. 9-With the
reply filed today in the case of Duns-
muir VS.. Dunsmuir, arrangements are
now being made for the trial which will
involve a fight between the heirs of the
late Mrs John Dunsmuir and the re-
firing lieutenant governor, James
Dunsmuir, for recovery Of an estate
valued at between $15,000,00O and
S18000,00O
The heirs are the members OF the
family of the late Mrs. Dunsmuir, who
are suing their brother, alleging that
he and his late brother, Alexander
Dunsmuir, obtained the Dunsmuir es-
tate from the mother by false repre-
sentatiOn, they having prevailed upon
her to sell them the estate, including
the Vancouver island coal mines, the
Esquimalt 6, Nanaimo railroad lands
steamers, etc, for 100000, when it was
worth over $15,00O,000.
When Alexander Dunsmuir died he
willed his interests to James Dunsmuir,
and a suit was brought by the actress,
Edna Wallace Hopper stepdaughter
Of Alexander Dunsmuir, to break the
WILL without result.

Convention at WatsonViIle Gets Down
to Business and Adopts Resolu-
tions Urging Cooperation in
Standardization in Boxes

WATSONVILLE, Cal, Dec. 9.-The
convention of the California Fruit
Growers association settled down to
work on resolutions today, adopting
recommendation that all growers of
deciduous fruits in the state cooperate
toward securing a standard form in
preparing interstate shipments. Uni
form standards in grading the fruit
and standard boxes for shipping are
recommended.
a resolution declaring that several
varieties of fruits and grapes, particu-
larry Tolays, are suffering because OF
oVerproduction, was adopted, and it is
suggested that the areas thus affected
be tried out by planting Bartlett pears,
Smyrna figs or almonds.
This resolution met with serious op-
position and was carried only after a
hot fight
The report of the transportation COM
mittee was adopted in amended form,
the convention going on record for the
extension to the central and northern
growers of the 81 rate enjoyed by the
citrus fruit growers of the south.
County supervisors were urged TO be-
gin a fight against noxious weeds. un-
der the state horticultural law, which
permits them to appoint horticultural
commissions for such purposes John
son grass was said to have destroyed
entire orchards and vineyards, and to
have led to the abandonment of many
ranches.
A resolution was passed condemning
the work of land boomers who adver-
tse poor land as good, and asking the
legislature to enact a law requiring
land agents to state in advertising
whether the land proposed to be good
had been examined by the United
States soil survey.
The convention favored the parcels
post and postal savings banks, and
ordered that senators and representa-
tives of the state be mailed copies of a
resolution to that effect.

MILLION DOLLAR ESTATE
PROVES TO BE MYTHICAL

OAKLAND, Cal. Dec. 9--The mil
lion-dollar estate of j. w. Zook, re-
duced at first to half a million, has
proved to be a myth altogether, ac-
cording to Public Administrator Mehr-
mann and his attorney Abe p. Leach.
They have failed to discover any
tangible assets belonging to Zook, and
the contest over his estate, which was
announced when he died>a few weeks
ago, is expected to cease.
