Washington, Dec. 4.-Despite the
agitation to close some of the navy
yards along the southern coast, Sec
retary of the Navy Meyer will oppose
any such steps for the present. This
much was made plain in his annual
report submitted to President Taft
today.
Secretary Meyer says that he is not
entirely convinced that the govern
ment can advantageously give UP
sites, in which large expenditures
have been made, until after the open
ing of the Panama canal, when 1t
definitely can be demonstrated which
are likely to be of the greatest value.
1T is not unknown in the history
of the government" says the secre-
tary, that national reservations have
been given up and later were bought
back at increased cost" Again in
discussing the same subject, he says
that the completion of the Panama
canal, the development of trade in
the Gulf of Mexico and the whole
Caribbean region, and the probable
increase of the naval establishment
to meet our national responsibilities
in that area will probably call Tor
supply stations in BART for the heavy
fleet. but principally for the torpedo
craft and submarines and the smaller
vessels needed there. "
He urges the extreme desirability"
of developing the naval station part
ly established at Guantanamo, Cuba.
with the opening of the Panama
canal. the Caribbean sea will become
the scene of great commercial activ-
ity. and our responsibility as to the
police and maintenance call for an
adequate naval repair base in that
locality"
The secretary reviews in detail his
proposed plan for the reorganization
of the navy and in addition makes
many recommendation for the con-
duct of affairs in his department.
Two more battleships of the all
big-gun type are recommended to be
constructed. but. on account of the
desire to keep down the expenditures,
he asks only for repair ship in ad-
dition to these two proposed giants
of the sea
The completion of the big drydock
at the Brooklyn navy yard is urged.
and Furthermore the secretary says
that lit Is clear that one dock on the
Atlantic coast. for docking our larg-
est battleships. is not sufficient since
that one might be injured"
Ship construction at the navy yards
of the United States is opposed as
principle by the secretary.
Secretary Meyer Is opposed to con-
gress restricting the construction by
one sh.pbullding company toone bat

be very easy matter to prove almost
every statement untrue and while a

GRAY WOLVES AFTER CATTLE IN
GRAND COUNTY.

Big gray wolves, bigger than any
mountain lions ever seen in this reg
ion, are making life interesting for
the cattlemen in the neighborhood of
Sweetwater lake, in Grand county.
these days. According to report
received in the office of the state
anne and fish commissioner yesterday
from the ranch north of Gypsum
owned by the Stevens brothers, the
wolves have become SO bold that they
are entering the corrals there and
killing yearling colts and calves with
in easy gunshot of the ranch houses.
The tracks of one of these maraud-
ers are said to be so big that 1t is
estimated he must weigh in the neigh
borhood of 200 pounds. 1t is diff
cult to kill any of the wolves for the
reason that they are as particular as
tiger about their food and having
once killed colt or calf and eaten
their fill they do not return again to
that particular spot in search of fresh
victims. 1t does the cattlemen no
good to sit up waiting for second
visit, in the hopes of killing the de-
stroyers of his herds, because the sec
ond visit seldom occurs until a long
time afterward.
The beavers are still on the job in
various parts of the state, cutting
down trees, building dams and flood
ing ranches with such constant in
dustry that five separate applications
for permits to kill beavers were re
ceived in the game and fish commits

Estimates for the coming fiscal

They are $40, 1000 less than the

Delta, Colo, Dec. 4.-'I am conf
dent that | could put Mrs. Belle Gun
ness under arrest within twenty-four
hours if l had sufficient inducement
to warrant me in taking the chances
that would necessarily follow such a
step said Sheriff Il. S. Williams of
Delta county.
II do not, however, feel inclined to
take any action at present as long as
there is no reward -
Sheriff Williams says that the wo-
man he suspects located near Delta
about two months ago shortly after
it was stated in the newspapers that
she had been seen in Texas by persons
who recognized her and that she hur-
riedly left that state.
He has been following the case
since 1t first became public and had
pictures and descriptions of the wo-
man. He says that the person he mas
under suspicion not only answers the
description. but he has other corro-
borative evidence.
About six weeks ago he wrote n let
ter to the sheriff of La Porte county,
but received no reply. Yesterday,
thinking that the woman was about
to make some move, he sent a tele-
gram which is quoted in the dispatch
from La Porte. He said last night
that he would take no further action
unless stronger evidence developed or
reward was offered which would
Justify him in going into the case
more thoroughly.

stances. both I'm Boston and in other large
cities, first provision has been made for
the boys. That the girls could teeter,
swing and climb was quickly demon
strated, however, the movement they were
admitted to playground privilege. The
strong, able bodied girls now use prac-
tically the same gymnastic apparatus as
the boys. With the introduction of sew
ing, sloyd work and the like, into the
schools, these have also become features
of vacation schools and Fairgrounds Tor
girls, but they will always be mere side
issues for the more active ones. The de-
velopment of dancing, especially the folk
dances, is expected to add the feature
which will make the city Fairgrounds as
attractive and beneficial to girls as to
boys. Last spring at the time of the
Playground association congress in New
York City. the school children gave a
wonderful exhibition of this folk dancing
of the different countries.
Boston has taken a step in this dlrec-
ton by providing for the playground teach
ers suggestions for fancy step exercises,
comprising polka, schottische and dainty
step dances. These have already been
used with good effect.
