REAR ADMIRAL EVANS
GIVEN WRONG SALUTE
FIFTEEN GUNS INSTEAD OF
THIRTEEN FIRED
Manager of Demonstration at chutes
Park Places Sea Fighter in Rank
with Dewey by Cannon's
Roar

Rear Admiral Robley D. Evans was
made a vice admiral Sunday afternoon
by the booming Of guns at Chutes
park, when the vice admiraPs salute
of fifteen guns was fired instead Oh
thirteen guns, which is the salute to
rear admiral Few people counted the
guns fired and probably Rear Admiral
Evans was the first to detect the err
ror.
When he heard the thirteenth gun he
thought the booming was at end. The
fourteenth Numbered. He touched j.
Harry Smith on the shoulder, indicat-
ing that he wanted to ask a question.
The fifteenth gun doomed.
"What are you doing to me-" asked
Admiral Evans.
making a vice admiral of you in
spite of congress-" said Smith with
smile, and the sea fighter knew then
that Smith had prearranged the firing
Of the salute. The rear admiral smiled
grimly. 1t was Smiths way of making
him vice admiral "by salute j. A.
Cruikshank, manager for Rear Ad-
miral Evans on his lecture tour, be-
fore leaving Los Angeles, wrote the
following letter, which bears out the
statement that a vice admirals salute
greeted Fighting Bob" at Chutes
park: -
"Mr. j. Harry Smltn, LOS Ahseles'
Cal.
"My Dear Mr.. Smith: Before leaving
Los Angeles 1 want to express to you
my appreciation of the manner in which
you handled the business connected
with the visit of Admiral Evans to
Chutes park on Saturday and Sunday
afternoons.
81 realized that you had little time
for getting the things in shape and
producing results, but l want to say
that | have never seen better work
done under rapid fire conditions.
"You got the crowds there, that is
certain, and in a manner which thor
oughly pleased both the admiral and
me. / may say for the admiral that
your entire management of the incl
dent of his visits was done in a man
ner to satisfy him, and that some of
the work, such as the vice admiral
salute, struck him as being unusually
interesting. OF course he had no right
to the salute, but you did what every
patriotic American wants to do, you
told him he ought to have had it long
ago.
with pleasant remembrances of our
visit to your place and best wishes
for your future success, which your
ability certainly deserved, 1 remain,
Every truly yours,

SEE BOOM In
SHIPPING TRADE

While reasons differ as to its cause.
shipping men agree that there Is not only
marked activity in maritime interests.
but that the prospects are better than
they have been for years. That the de-
mand for freights is not OF an ephemorai
character is demonstrated, they declare.
by the fact that since May / Of this year
contracts for more than S9.0OO.OO0 Ia new
steamships have been placed with ship
building concerns on the Atlantic sea-
board.
I'm addition TO these, Il IS said that con-
tracts for two or three steamships. each
20 cost about S7O0,O00 for the Alaska
.Sleamship. cQupary, q Seattle. win be
given to Eastern yards before the end oi
the present year.
Ten vessels arc now IN course OF con-
struction az Newport News. Va. three
IN Baltimore. two at the New York Ship
building Yards in Camden and two IN
Wilmington.
Not foi years have so many vessels been
under construction In American ship
ya-ds and shipping men say that the in
diratons IN maritime business are more
assuring than have been known for a
long period.

GIRLS
PICKED BERRIES

Charged with being runaways, Rose
Cannon, Annie Leary and Helen Carr,
all aged 16. Of Chester Pa, were ar
rested here yesterday afternoon. The
girls said they had been employed in
plant in Chester, but that strike
ensued, and, as they could not get fac
tory employment elsewhere. they went
to Bridgevine and worked as berry
pickers.
In the meantime their parents were
almost distracted over their disappear
ance and they have had the police Of
many cities searching for them. The
girls were away about eight days, when
they grew tired of the joys of berry
diet and were on their way home when
arrested at the Pennsylvania depot.
They returned home today.

Word For Mr.. Kennedy.

Editor THE EVENING JOURNAL
Being a taxpayer and citizen OF
the city of Wilmington. / wish TO state
that I think it is every voters duty
in the Tenth ward TO vote for John J.
Kennedy for member of the Board Of
Public Education. simply because Mr
Kennedy is a technical and practical
architect and business man. something
that the Board Of Education should
have in their body, the same as all
other large cities have They are build
ing new schools year after year and
thousands OF dollars Of the taxpayers
money is being spent yearly for this
purpose. And on the other hand the
Board of Education should have man
of this kind to look after all the schools
and see that there are no fire traps
and to see to the safety of the tax
ravers' children. not holding mer there
because they have monopolized the
ofice for years and for what little good
they have done.

IN HOTEL SAFES.
valuabIes Kept There by Guests for
 Years at Time.

A woman walked up to the counter of a fashionable hotel and asked for package of valuables which was in the safe.
 If I had not wanted one particular thing 1 suppose l should have left the package where it was for another three years" she said to the clerk.
 Yes" said the clerk in answer to d question after the woman left, that packet had really been in our safe for three years. Why. we have all sorts of valuable papers. jewelry and even money that are entrusted to our keep ing for years at time. People seem to prefer a hotel safe to a safety de- posit vault. One reason, perhaps, is that it costs nothing. Another is that the standard of hotel clerks has i'm proved.
 Tt is astonishing the amount of jewelry that people keep in hotel safes. Of course the owners have originally stopped in the hotel. but they go away. leaving their valuable. and I have known such persons to be gone as much as two years and never make an inquiry about their property in that time
 ITO show you how much confidence people have in hotels and their em- ployes | might mention that the oth- CT day man came in here and put four $1,000 bills in an envelope. wrote his name on the latter and asked me to put it in the safe. Not long ago another man actually did the same thing with seven s10,00O bills"
 The clerks of several other hotels talk in similar strain without any out side suggestion.
 I'll bet I have handled more than a million dollars worth of jewelry to- day" said one. Look here" and he opened the safe and piled six or eight big jewery cases on, the counter, but hurriedly put them back Tn one of those 1 know there is oyer s200,000 worth, and what I showed you was only a few of what the safe contains"
 Up at big hotel near the park the employees are greatly concerned about the freedom with which a wealthy for eign woman who is stopping there dis plays her jewels. Every evening she wears a rope of pearls that goes once around her neck and then falls to her knees. to which is attached a lorg- nette.
 Everybody who has seen the jewels has exclaimed at their size and perfect matching. and wealthy patrons of the house who have sold as well as bought jewels say. the necklace is worth not a cent less than s2O0.OO0. The owner went the other day into one of the big jewellery houses and business was immediately suspended while every body crowded about to admire the necklace.

CLUSTER OF ORANGES
 GROWN AT GLENDALE
Ina Sec for Zine Fer Oranges So Far
 as Demonstrated.

S O. Furrey. of Glendale. was in Phoenix yesterday exhibiting a very attractive citrus novelty, a cluster of thirteen oranges, sticking as close to- gether as grapes in d bunch. Oranges do not as a general thing grow in clus- ters, but these did, and made good job of it The name of the variety was not learned any more than that they are not navels.
 MT Furrey's orchard is just half a mile north of the Glendale postoffice, vertised as an orange section there are a few good orchards thereabouts. and a number of young ones coming on. Mir. Furrey has twenty bearing trees and says that none of his fruit was injured in the recent cold snap and no harm was done except to nip some of the young and tender shoots on the trees. And it is seldom the orange grower. will get harder test than the one of the past week or so.
 MT. Furrey has had d very satisfac- tory experience with his small orchard oc twenty trees, which cover about a fifth of an acre. The crop this year was not quite so heavy as that of last year. but he is well pleased with it just the same. Last year he sold s105 worth of fruit. besides furnishing all the oranges three families could use and giving away some besides.
