coming of the great battleship fleet
promises to exceed the notable depar-
ture of the same vessels.
Already Washington officials and
others who intend to go to Old Point or
Washington's birthday to see the ships
come in are finding difficulty In Sc
curing accommodations. One result OF
this has been a great increase in the
number of passenger steamers to be
chartered for this special occasion.
Today the Navy League succeeded
in reserving one of the Old Dominion
Line steamers with a capacity of 3oC
persons, which will afford ample accom-
modation for the members and friends
of the league and expected additions
between now and February ~.
orty-eight men have died on the
fleet since it left Hampton roads in
December, 1907, up to the time the
ships sailed from Gibraltar. according
to the Navy Departments figures
Some of the bodies have been sent
home. in cases where the relatives have
asked that it be done. The remainder
have found a last resting place in for
eign climes.
The ratio Of deaths to the 1900 men
composing the crews and officers Of the
Ileet Is pTODaOly IoWer tndn In the OTOl-
nary walks of life.
Wireless telegraphy is playing a part ir
making pleasant for officers and men the
final stage Of the trip by conveying to the
ships the news OF the day at home ano
abroad Also 1t Is the means by which
orders may at any time be conveyed to
Admiral Sperry by the Navy Department
This can be accomplished through the
government or other wireless stations Or
shore and by relay through various easI
and west bound transatlantic liners.
The sensitive instruments can pick uI
the budget of press news sent broadcast
over the ocean by wireless from Cape
Cod. Mass. and from Poldhu, England
for transatlantic liners. and is printed
aboard these ships in newspapers.
Then, again. wireless will come into
play when the battleships OF the third
squadron, under Rear Admiral Arnold
and the scout cruisers attached to it &c
forth to meet the homecoming fleet.

engine poked her nose out of the tunnel,
lurching from side to side, and quickly

there More than one hundred of these
challenged voters are Democrats. and
seventy-ive per cent. of them voted for
prohibition or the dry ticket. A num-
Der of them live on the Tennessee side
OF Bristol, but have been doing business
and have been voting on the Virginia
side of the city. The Anti-Saloon
League people contend that they are
not residents and have no right to claim
residence and citizenship in Virginia.
This practice Of having persons who
hive on the Tennessee side register and
vote in Virginia was begun in the Con-
gressional election of 1898, when w. F.
Rhea robbed General Walker of seat
in Congress. 1t was such illegal regis
trstion and importation from Tennessee
that made the vote so large in Bristol at
the election in 1898. Even a number of
the students of King College. on the
Tennessee side, were registered by
Rhea's man, Stone, and voted for Rhea.
If the Anti-Saloon League wins in
this contest they will cut out from vot-
ing in Bristol more than hundred Dem
ocrats, and most of them prohibition
lists. If such voters were legal voters
in 1898, when they voted for Rhea, they
certainly are legal voters now.
The drys also charge in their petition
that considerable number of the So
called illegal voters did not pay their
poll taxes with their own money, but
that others paid these taxes for them.
The treasurer of Bristol, Mr.. Gordon C.
Fuqua, has since the filing of the petit
ton certified that all the voters named
did pay their poll taxes in persons.
