FLEET WILL PLAY GAME OF WAR AT
 HAMPTON ROADS
Special from United Press.)

Especial from United Press)
 Washington, May 24.-With the New Hampshire, Idaho and Mississippi tax ing the places of the Illinois, KerSearge and Kentucky, which are now in the reserve fleet, the battleship fleet of the United States navy is being put in readiness for the summer service in Hampton Roads, which begins June 21. The ships which will take part in the manoeuvreS are the same as those which left Hampton Roads on the me morable world-circling cruise.
 It is no longer, however. the White Squadron The color of the ships is now a lustreless gray as nearly as possible the color of the sea which renders them scarcely visible at a comparatively short distance.
 When the reassembled fleet sails out to sea next month it will be to play the game of war more energetically than ever before It is very much as if the spectre of war which confronts cast it's shadow over the Western ant features of the manoeuvres will be the behavior of the big guns under battle conditions, and in a rolling sea such as might be encountered were the fleet moving forward to attack real enemy The value of the "waste- basket type of mast is expected to be fully established. So many improve ments have been made in the torpedo that it is likely to figure much more prominently in naval engagements in the future both by reason of increased accuracy of control and length of range.

 AURILLO IS FREED

Sabato Aurillo, saloon keeper at 131 Willard street who was heard a week ago in the city court for viola tion of the Sunday liquor law, was discharged this morning when Judge Wilder recommended that a nol1e be entered for lack of evidence. No one was found in Aurillos place, but in a room at the rear of the house, on the second floor, there was evidence that a. party had been there a short time be- for the police arrived. There were empty beer bottles with foam in them, ar ice box filled with bottled beer, a half dozen pints of whiSkey and six half pints besides a five gallon dem- john of whiskey.
 The police reached the place by passing through a maze of backwards and board fences until they reached a high gate at the rear of Aurillo's place. They found an electric button on the fence which they pressed three times Aurillo's twelve year old boy unlocked the gate and shouted police at the top of his lungs. The officers hustled up the back stairs only to find the room empty of men and filled with tobacco smoke.
 The charge was that Aurillo had li- quor exposed for sale. The judge con- tinued the case to look up the law in the matter. As there was no evil dence as to who was selling the 1iquor or as to who was buying it, if anyone was, the court entered a no1le.

There are five thousand men in the Longshoremen's organization. but the members say that if they go out 25, GOO dock laborers will come with them. They say this is a sympathetic move with the strikers. The Longshoremen declare that if the carriers do not promise recognition of their union or at least agree not to discriminate against it June 1 will see one of the biggest strikes ever known on the lakes.

WOULDN'T BE VACCINATED
 COULDN'T JOIN MILITIA
Editor Farmer

Editor Farmer
 Sir-A young man was recently de barred from joining the naval militia because he refused to be vaccinated. How long since was it ascertained that an unvaccinated person was dangerous to that organization, and if he was a danger to them why is he not a danger to the public at large?
 Have the scientific gentlemen who have charge of this matter discovered that as soon as a man puts on Uncle Sam's uniform that he is likely to catch smallpox? I hardly think that Adjt. Gen. Cole gave much thought to his subject when he issued that order or he never would have done it.
 No doubt the Surgeon General who prompted this order is great man in the profession and his opinion on such matters should not be questioned, but unfortunately for this class of gentle men there are some laymen who know a good deal more about this subject than they do. 0
