CHANGES IN THE NAVY
 RANKING RECOMMENDED

Washington, Dec. S.--As a result of the transfer of former engineer off, cers of the navy to the line with the stipulation that they be assigned to engineering duty on shore only, the Navy Department has found that there Is an insufficient number of captains and commanders to perform all the necessary duties to which officers of these grades are. by regulation, eligi- ble for assignment.
 These transfers were made by the personnel act of 1899. Their presence on the list of line officers is said by Rear Admiral Potter to be embarrass- ing. When they reach the rank of flag officers. Admiral Potter believes the situation will be worse. At present there are twenty-seven of these off, cers. ten captains and seventeen com manders.
 Admiral Potter has recommended to Secretary Meyer that the twenty-seven be made additional members in these grades. The effect of this proposed legislation would be to prevent officers who are not eligible for sea duty from occupying the authorized number in- tended by Congress for those who per- form sea duty and would give about one years promotion to the junior com manders and lieutenant commanders and thus bring them into command rank at an earlier age.

WANT SUPPLY SHIP.
Chief of Ordnance Files His Annual
 Rep0rf. -s v.f ss gss

Chief of Ordnance Files His Annual
 r Report. S rf ssg#
 washington, Dec. S-With the med ical corps of the navy asking for hos pital ships and the bureau of cons struction and repair demanding re- pair ship, the bureau of ordnance has now come forth with Q supplication for an ammunition supply ship.
 Admiral Masons chief of ordnance. in his annual report, made public toe day, presents arguments to show the need of such a ship.
 Admiral Mason states that the guns for the new battleship Arkansas and Wyoming. now under construction have been tested and that they win be at least the equal of any thus far p9pposed abroad. The guns of 12- inch are of 50 calibre as compared with 25 calibre on ships now in ser vice. Each of the new ships will carry twelve guns of this type.
 IFIn the test of the 12-Inch guns, 50 fhlibre. an initial velocity of S,03O bot seconds was developed. and huzzle energy of 52.500 foot tons ob- fained. In five rounds, fired at IT, poo yards range, the dispersion was less than 100 yards.
 The bureau recommends that Con- gress grant authority for the Navy Department to purchase in whatever manner desirable ordnance material which involves military secrets.

COMPANY
 WIRES DISTINCT VICTOR '

Louisville. Ky, Dec. S--In a decision given by Judge Walter Evans, Of the United States court in the injunction suit of the Cumberland Telephone and Telegraph Company against the City of Louisville. to restrain the city from repeating the charter under which the company has been operating, the court holds that the company is enti- tied to It's charter and that only the State Legislature can deprive the cor poration of its rights.
 The decision is a distinct victory for the telephone company. The Cumber- land Company several years ago con- soiidated with the ohio Valley Tele- phone Company. which was operating under charter granted by the State Legislature.
 A year ago the City Council passed a repeating ordinance. the effect of which was to declare that the Cum beriand Company must either buy a new franchise or quit business in the City of Louisville. The company brought suit In the United States Court to enioin the city from enforce ing its ordinance. Judge Evans granted a temporary injunction and in his opinion today made the injunction perpetual.
 The case will be appealed.

COOKS DATA ARRIVES
RECORDS DELIVERED TO UNIvER-
 .sITY IN COPENHAGEN.
His Secretary, Mir. LonsdaIe. Stood Guard Over Them Until They Reached Denmark--Confro-
 versy Is Ro-Opened.

-
 Copenhagen. Dec. s-The North Po- lar observations of Dr. Frederick A. Cook reached here today on board the steamer United States.
 Extraordinary precautions were ta- ken to make sure that the long-her- aided data were delivered safely to the University authorities.
 As soon as the United States was tied up at her pier. an Iron box con taining ,Dr. Cooks report and the diaries in which his original entries were made, was brought ashore. The box was closely followed bv Walter Lonsdale. pr. Cooks secretary. who had stood guard over Its contents since they left the hands of the ex- plorer Upon the pier Lonsdale and two detectives bundled the Iron box into a motor car and jumping in them selves. were driven hastily to the University of Copenhagen. Their car was followed by second automobile.
 At the University the papers were formally turned over to the authori- ties there and placed in a strong room. where they will be guarded closely until the committee appointed to ex- anime them Is ready to begin. 1t Is probable that the examination will be made at Copenhagen Observatory. None but the duly chosen commission representing the University of Copen- hagen will be permitted to be present
 United States Minister Egan was to have attended the committee meet ings, but will not be able to do SO be- cause of the delay in the arrival or the records. Mir. Egan leaves tomor- row for the United States.
 The coming of pr. Cooks papers is accompanied with signs of a revival of the Cook-Peary controversy. The Politiken asserts this morning that the supporters of Commander Peary are trying to enlist the services or Greenland explorers in organizing an anti-Cook press campaign.

A Tainted Breath
 Highly DisagreeabIe
A Quick and Permanent Relief far
 This Trouble at q Small Expense.

o~DS AA Smhn ExpenBe.
 There are many thousands of peo- pie who are the unfortunate possessors oI onensive and obnoxious breath which has It's origin in chronic nasal and throat catarrh. or an unhealthy condition of the stomach, or decay of the teeth. and when these persons realize they are the victims of such an undesirable possession. they freouent- ly feet constrained to remain Off to themselves the greater part of tbe times because they understand only too well how disagreeabie 1t must be contact.
 For 1t is an undeniable fact that people will comment on. and critIrise the person whose breath Is foul and the comment. "So-and-so Is a most agreeable companion: an Interesting talker. with large fund of inform. alton IS wen-posted on world history and the biographies of many celebri- ties: can talk fiuently on current top- ics: Is an accomplished musician. and literateur: and would be a most de- sirable addition to any social gather that his or her breath is extremely of- fensive. that persons of refinement good breeding and delicate sensihiIi- ties do not care to come into contact with them"
 And very naturally. too, for an ob- noxious breath taints the very ai- mosphere, and affects the persons sur rounding the affected one in a way which is positively nauseating.
 There Is no longer any excuse for a person, however foul and offensive their breath may be. of infiicting It's ohnoxiousness upon the delicate nos. trils and olfactory nerves of others.
 Charcoal, the great absorbent, Is the ideal remedy for conditions described herein. and in STUARTS CHARCOAL, IOZENGES we have the very best form in which charcoal may be taken. These little lozenges absorb one foul gases and tainted breaths, ana besides deodorIzing and purifying the breath and rendering 1t sweet and agreeable. they also act as antlseptics and cleansers of the stomach and in. testinal system. absorbing all offen. sive gases which may be present there, destroying disease germs. poi sons and microbes, and putting stop to such morbid processes as ferment ation and decomposition in cases of chronic dyspepsia and intestinal indi-
 Don't allow yourself to be kept out of company of your friends because you may be so unfortunate as to have offensive breath from any cause Use Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges. and you may rest assured that your trou- ble will be removed thoroughly and rapidly.
