AMERICAN BATTLESHIP
FLEET MAY BE SENT
TO SUCCOR AFFLICTED

WASHINGTON, Dec. 31.-The great
American battleship fleet, built for pur-
poses of destruction, may, after all, go
down in history as one of the greatesA&
humanitarian agents in modern times.
Not content with the outpourings OF
private charity, it is probable the
American government will direct this
great fleet away from it's own maritime
progress toward home, to the stricken
city of Messina and the other Italian
ports where devastation beyond the I'M
aided efforts Of the Italian people them
selves to repair, has been wrought by
the earthquake and tidal wave.
The matter of dispatching the fleet
on it's mission of mercy is now under
consideration and d; speedy decision in
favor of such employment is expected.
Fleet Is in Red Sea
The sixteen battleships are now max
ing their way through the Red sea and
should arrive at Port, Said on the east
ern entrance of the Suez canal, by Sun
day. Supplies must be taken on at
Port Said, for the ships are just COM
pleting one of the longest legs of their
remarkable voyage, and as the distance
from Suez, the western end of the canal,
to Messina is about 900 miles the bat
tleships must pass at least two days
somewhere in the canal, taking on coal.
it is quite certain that even the great
commercial port of Messina is now no
longer in a position to supply fuel for
marine use.
Then at least two days probably will
be spent in passing the sixteen great
ships through the Suez canal from the
Red sea to the Mediterranean, and, al
together, the estimate made at the nav
igation bureau of the navy department
today was that the American fleet
would reach Messina about January 10.
Americans Would Be Welcomed
With their $1,000 thoroughly dis
ciplined American sailors, a splendid
corps of medical officers and surgeons,
with abundant supplies of medicines
and food, it is believed the American
fleet will be a very welcome visitor to
the shores of Sicily, even a fortnight
hence.
OF the combined crews of the fleet,
probably 5000 could be sent ashore to
assist in rendering relief. It is gener-
ally believed at the navy department
that Naples probably will be the scene
of the greatest suffering, as thousands
are now flocking there and will become
destitute.
The gunboat Scorpion, now at Con-
stantinople and within probably forty
eight hours of EIessina, has been di-
rected to proceed at once to Italy.

says, showed the agony they suffered
in death. Many of them had their
arms across their faces, as though to
protect themselves from the falling de-
bris.
It was necessary to release the pris-
oners at Palmi, and many of them
succeeded in making their escape.
The marquis said he tried in every
way to enter the town of Reggie, but
his efforts were useless. He compared
Mondays earthquake with the distur-
bance of 1894 and 1905, and said it was
immeasurably worse.
In fact, he declared, Palmi was abso-
lutely destroyed.

qualities Of the American navy.
Just as its ships were the first to
reach Kingston after the West Indian
earthquake, so the American naval flag
on the Celtic may be the first to bring
actual food supplies to Messina from
any country.
The ship was dispatched less than
eighteen hours after her captain con-
ceived his humane idea.

has been made available by it from
previous funds or has been promised,
much of which already has been cabled
to the American embassy at Rome to

the organization through which all re-

Governors Make Appeals
Among the contributions is one Of
$4,000 from the Anheuser-Busch Brew

errors of Illinois, Mississippi, New

California have issued appeals for con-

soaally will subscribe $500 toward the
relief fund.

LIES ABOUT THE FEET.
A Shoe Clerks Comments on His Gus
 tomers' Pecuiiarities.

T don't see why people always lis about their feet" said the shoe clerk as his customer departed after giving him bad half hour T don't mean on the size of their foot. for it's only natural to wish to have. or. rather, to make other people think you have. small feet. But why q great, burly man with his feet hubby with banions should insist that his shoes never trouble him and that he never has any trouble in get ting a fit is beyond me. Why, If I put an ordinary shoe on such & man he would cuss with pain. end he knows it. lie knows also that 1 have to hunt around until I find some freak shoe that will it his misshapen old foot. but all the time he declares that he never has bunions or corns like most people. Women who seem to be sensible enough in all other ways come fin here and declare that they do not know what corn is, when they vince with pain every time touch their little toe When they are forced to declare that the shoe hurts in one spot OF another they insist it is because their feet have shape peculiarly their own. Some times they will admit they have a lit tie calloused place but a corn. oh. dear. mol Sometimes in a thin. lightweight shoe I can fairly see the corns bunch ing out under the leather, but have to say Automatically that the fit is not good or that the customer has a pc culiarly sensitive foot or some other nonsense. if I want to keep their trade.

PRACTICE SCORES:
SENATORS WOULD KNOW
 WHERE MONEY WENT

NEW tOhk- Jan. iS.-A special to the Sun from Washington says: The senate committee on appropriations. which is carrying out the senate's instruction to investigate the opera tions of the secret service and other detective bodies employed under the Roosevelt administration already has obtained sufficient information uo show that in the last year sums On money aggregating about S20, 0.UUU have been expended in secret investi- gations under the direction of tue President
 Tais knowledge will be used by the senate committees subcommittee on inquiry into the uses to which sucn a vast amount Of money have been put Much of the money expended was not appropriated specifically for making Investigations of a secret character, but taken from tae jump sums placed at tho disposal of the Executive to meet contingent ex- penses.
 Criticism of the lavish way in which the government funds have been used fer the purposes Of investigation are becoming pronounced among tae ss-tr- ators and representatives. They think 
 it about time to call a halt Where aii the s2G,000,000 was spent is suD- ject Of wonder at the capitol II is understood that in a speech he will deliver on the BrOwnyiile episode Senator Foraker will endeavor to show not only that money was spent lavishly for the purpose of investi- ration, but that 1t was spent unlaw- fully.
 It is denied that there is any real basis for the belief that in undertak- ing to investigate the operation Of the Governments secret agencies the Sen ate and House aim to cause trouble for President Roosevelt. The pur- pose of the inquiries. it is said. is to | ascertain and prevent abuses by tae
 Executive. and not to place obstacles in the way of the President in per
 forming his legitimate constitutional and legal functions.

OWNERSHIP OF TOOLS
 HAS COURT GUESSING
Plumbing Establishment ToolSI Wages, Lawyers involved
 in Tangle.

A case. which appears to be of the much ado about nothing order IS hanging fire at the court of Justice High. One Henry Mcdonald, who ad- mits that his name is Henry Criss in Texas and one or two other places out of Bisbee, is the complaining witness in a trial which was introduced Tn Justice Highs ccdrt yesterday after noon. The indictment reads grand larceny" but the court may change II to embezzlement. The whole thing ests upon a technieality
 The prosecution, which is supported by Attorney J. w. Ross, and Assistant District Attorney E. J. Flanigan charges that the defendant. w. F. Eryine, took tools to the value of s15 belonging to the complaining witness, and that he unlawfuliy retained pos session of them. It was argued by E. c. Suickler for the defense that these toois were lawfully attached by the defendant through the colbt. himself for wages owed by the plaintiff to Ervine It seems that the aprr99-ia- ton of the tools antedated the actually
 ssued papers giving Irvine the right to appropriate them, The question to be decided therefore is: Did Ervine commit theft in taking the property before he had an order from the court permitting him to do so legally2
 The man who Is known in Bisbee as Mcdonald formerly ran a plumbing establishment in this city. Eryine worked for him. Mcdonald gave up his business, but left his tools in charge 6f Ervine. This. at least, is fhe contention of the defense. Ervine then entered the employ of Hogan & Smith. Mcdonald went after his tools. only to find that Egyine had taken them away to his room. Me Dcnaid secured an attachment which Officer Twomey attempted to serve. The prosecution charges that many of the tools were missing. Furthermore, the defendant had by this time taken the pre.autioE of having the goods at tached on his own hook.
 It is a little bit of the most mixed uD thing that ever came into the new iustice's court. The case has been adjourned until Friday. ostensibly to await the return to the city as a wit ness of Officer Denny Twomey. but in reality, it is said, to give the court a chance to submit the whole bewilder ing proposition to Sam Loyd, the Chinese puzzle expert

It was q scarf l found in my stocking one bright Christmas morning. l got n red one. and my brother got blue one. l was a mighty proud boy that morning as l trudged downtown with that red scarf around my neck. l wore it every day until the birds be- gan to sing ia the springtime and the kids were hunting up their marbles. l dent now remember who gave it to me nor what became of 1t, but l do know that the memory of it still clings like q benediction.

John Smith-plain John Smith-is not very high sounding; 1t does not sug- gest aristocracy; 1t Is not the name of any hero in die away novels. and yet it is good, strong and honest. Trans ferred to other languages. 1t seems to climb the ladder of responsibility Thus in Latin it is Johannes Smitfus, the Italian smooths It of Into Giovan- nj Smithi; the Spaniards render it Juan Smithus; the Dutchman adopts it as Hans Schmidt; the French datten it out into Jean Sheet, and the Rus sian sneeZes and barks Jonlof Shit towski. When John Smith gets Into the tea trade in Canton he becomes Jovan Shimmit; if he chambers about Mount Hecla, the Icelanders say he is Jahne Smithson: If he trades among the Tuscaroras he becomes Ton ca Smittia: in Poland he Is known as Ivan Schmlttiweiski: should he wan der among the Welsh mountains they talk of Jihon Sehmidds when he goes to Mexico he Is booked as Jontli F'Smitti: if of classic turn and he lin- gers among Greek ruins he turns to Ion Smikton. and in Turkey he Is ut terly disguised as Foe Seef.-Phreno- logical Journal

NIGHT SCHOOL BEGINS MOST
 AUSP|C|OUSLY
New Feature of Public Educa- ton Will Prove Boon Those Who Are Most In Need 0f. Training.

The Bisbee public night school was inaugurated last night at the Central school with an enrolment of twenty five. Professor Partridge of Lincoln. Nebraska, declared himself well pleas. I'd with this beginning.
 The principal subjects taught will be along the line of preparation for commercial work Prof. Partridge is splendidly equipped for this kind of teaching and actual practice Of busi. ness methods. The courses in book keeping and stenography will be urs- exceiled anywhere in the southwest. The enrolment in these practical courses is expected to increase nightly as soon as the population of the city comes to realize the true significance of the new school
 The night school plan has been tried with success all over the country, but this is its first trial in the territory. The education df many pupils stops at the age of fourteen to their everiast- ing hurt The night school is just the thing for those who go to school np to the compulsory age limit and are then forced to quit and go to work. The trustees have championed the night school for Bisbee for many years.
 The school will be free to all who are eligible to attend the public schools. Its advantages in every way sif be equivalent to those of the best equipped business colleges. Consider ing the inducements offered it will be surprising if the public night school in Bisbee does not come up in every way to expectations. It should open new era in territorial education

PUMPKIN PIE.
Praise For This Culinary Triumph and
 Gzstronornic Delight.


 American literature Is replete with the praise of pie. and Harriet Beecher Stowe says. ''The pie is an English institution, which, planted in Amer ican soil. forthwith ran rampant and burst forth into an untold variety of genera and species" The average American echoes. 'Let it run" He has the same desire that possessed Simple simon of Mother Goose fame when he me; the pie man. But Moth or Goose iourished before the pie reached the acme of its glory. The most famous pie of which she wrote was a meat pie. for she said: Sing 6 song of sixpence. pocket fan of Four and twenty bIacsbiras baked in a
 pie.
 When the pie was opened the birds began

 A pie containing live blackbirds sounds like a fairy tale. but if Is not, as a Venetian publisher of cookbook printed in 1869 gave a recipe for HIak- ing pies that the birds may be alive in them and fly out when it Is cut up-' , The gay reveiers who set down before such dish may have thought that the very pinnacle of culinary art had been obtained. but the pumpkin affords gas tronomic delights to every American citizen beside which blackbird pies. ortolan pies. lombsrd pies or battaiia nice are and of right oucht to be back numbers.
