"OUR NAVY is NO BLUFF"
SAYS ADMIRAL DEWEY.
Auxiliaries Needed, but 1t Is Far
from HELPLESS.

WASHINGTON, Oct. S.-Admiral
George Dewey today came to the de-
Tense of the American navy, which
Representative Lands called a bluff .
when former Representative Lands
said bluff in connection with the
American navy he used an unfortunate
word declared Admiral Dewey. "Of
course, he meant that the navy would
be comparatively useless in time of war
without necessary auxiliaries drawn
from the merchant marine. He wants
a subsidy for our ships of commerce.,
and SO do 1; and l believe that he
would get it and build up a strong
merchant marine If 1t were not for the
use of the word subsidy
But the American navy is not quite
as helpless as one might imagine from
Mr.. Landis's remarks. We have fifteen
Golfers n several transports already
in the service, OF course these woulu
not be enough in time of war, and !
hope that we shall continue to add to
their number But one can do almost
anything with money, and if we were
to have a wal we could purchase, as
many ships as we might need. We did
so in the Spanish War; 1 bought two

PATTERSON, Oct. S.-Samuel Rodgers,
a dealer in waste p n rags and

Connell to death last night, after Con-
nell had attacked Rodgers's 16-year-old

Flora Rodgers was sent by her

she was ~accosted by Council at a point
where the street is lark and lonely.
The girl managed to make her way

and told her story to her mother.
Rodgers. who was in bed, heard the
tale. and, quickly dressing, started in
search of the man who had waylaid
his daughter. On Grove street he found
his man sitting in the gutter.
Rodgers, in the Police Court, told ms

nominated. The Republican party is
not a close corporation. owned, con-
trolled or directed by n small set of
men who may, by accident, mistake,
apathy, fraud or otherwise. temporarily
control a party organization. The
party is made up of the thousands of
citizens who espouse the party's decla-
rations of principles nj policies. Party
leaders cannot be held responsible by
the people and have no authority or
right to exact allegiance from party
nominees. With the machinery of NOM
ination taken out of the hands of. self
selected party dictators and placed in
the hands of the rank and file of the
party voters, as it Is under the direct
primary system, the candidates are re-
sponsible only to the voters for their
public acts, and the voters can and Will
hold their representatives to a strict
accountability for their actions.
1.-THE Republican party has won and
retained power and lustre in the past
as a party of principles, as a party of
progress, as a party which has done
things. Above all, the Republican
party's best claim to consideration mas
been it's adherence to principle.
"When its representatives. it's lead
ers and it's nominees discard, ignore OF
repudiate principles: when they refuse
to meet issues, or to give to the voters
pledges or assurances of what will be
the party policies and program; when
they seek to retain only the name Re-
publican, and refuse or neglect &c
recognize or assert principles and is,
sues which give meaning substance and
purpose to the name, then party regu-
larity, party organization, party 10y
atty and p~artisanship itself lose all
that the Republican party has usually
stood for in the past.
"T'his league declares it's loyalty and
allegiance at all ines to Republican
principles and recognizes and pledges
support to all party leaders and nomi-
nees who assert and uphold such prin-
ciples. 1t refuses to recognize, sup
port or follow the leadership at any
time of men who ignore or repudiate
Republican principles or who practise
or tolerate pledge-brea king regardless
of by what name such men may call
themselves.
in it's desire to aid in the success OF
Republican principles at all times, the
Progressive Republican League de-
mands of all Republican candidates for
party nomination or election that they
shall announce to the voters how they
propose to align themselves on pend
ing questions of public Importance and
respectfully urges the impracticability
of enthusiastic allegiance to candidates
who refuse to pledge themselves tc
the support of principles. measures and
propositions in which Republican prin-
ciples are involved
At the meeting of the executive COM
mittee in the afternoon the subject OF

BOY PUSHED INTO LIME
BY CHUM is DYING.
Lad Accused by Victim Left
UnmOlested.

NEW YORK, Oct. S.-Mrs. Mary Cur
ley, of Sos East Twenty-ninth street,
has been trying to support her hve
little children since the disappearance
Of her husband three months ago. Last
night her ~6-year-old boy, Martin. was
pushed into a mortar box in front OF
SIT East Twenty-ninth street, and so
badly burned by lime that he is likely
to die in Bellevue Hospital.
Martin was sitting on a barrel while
a number of boys were near him.. One
of them gave him a playful push, ane
the lad tumbled over into the mortar
bed.
The police of the East Thirty-hfth
street station said last night they did
not know who had pushed little Martin
into the mortar and they made no ar
rest, though the lad accused by the
brother was playing around the neigh
borhood all evening.

Assemblyman Martin Says Cam
didates Must Speak Out
for New Idea Votes.

The policy of silence as to their in
tentions, IL elected, which is being
maintained by the Republican nominees
for the Assembly, was denounced by
Assemblyman William P. Martin in a
speech before the advisory committee
of the Progressive Republican League,
at a meeting held last night in the
league headquarters in Bank street. He
compared it with the enunciation of
principles by the Progressive Republic
cams before the primaries. AT the con-
clusion he presented and had passed a
set of resolutions suggesting to the
Regulars that the voters would like to
know what the candidates stood for be-
fore they cast their ballots.
Until candidates declare their prin-
ciples and program the party is with
out issue or policies in any campaign
declared Mr.. Martin. And without
principles, without policies. without a
program the party is simply running
into a condition of confusion and de-
feat.
FOR these reasons we suggest to the
eleven men named as Assembly NOM
inees in the recent Republican pri-
maries thai they show themselves to be
worthy of the enthusiastic support t
the Republican voters, by at once de-
claring themselves in harmony with
the principles of the Republican party
and by giving their earnest personal
pledges to the people of Essex that, If
elected, they will support and vote for
the progressive reforms which the peo-
PIE want and to which the bosses and

SAYS CANALS ON MARS
ARE SNOW WATER DRAINS.

BERLIN. Oct. S~.-Professof e. S.
Archenhold, director of the Treptow
Astronomical Observatory, Comment
ing yesterday upon the idea that the
canals on Mars were constructed for
the purpose of signaling to the earth,
said he was unable to accept this view.
In his opinion the canals on Mars We're
for h practical purpose of drawing
off the enormous masses of snow water
that evidently come with the melting
of the ice caps, and to prevent inunda-
ton. 4
This theory is confirmed by the fact
that the canals, which at other times
are indistinct, become sharply marked
when the snow caps melt, and the pro-
lessor ssum that they are built by
throwing up dykes n few yards high.

DISCUSS PLANS
FOR SHIP SUBSIDY
COMMONWEALTH CLUB LISTENS
TO PAPER ON THE SUBJECT BY
GEORGE w. DICKIE.

SAN FRANCISCO May Is. - The
necessity for national ship subsidy
was under discussion at the monthly
dinner of the Commonwealth Club at
the st. Francis last evening, George
w. Dickie reading the paper of the
evening upon that topic. He was fol-
lowed by several of the members, who
entered into an informal discussion
of the angles of the proposition sug-
gested by the paper.
Diclzie declared that the disparity in
the costs of labor here and in other
countries was in itself a sufficient
proof of the necessity of subsidy
law. In San Francisco, he said, the
labor costs are 80 per ent higher, and
in the East, so per cent higher than
they are in England, while in Japan
labor costs about one-eleventh of what
is does in this country. Despite those
figures, he said, ships can be built
cheaper in England than in Japan.
The lack of shipping facilities be-
tween San Francisco and South Afri-
ca, Dickie declared, has cost San
Francisco over $6S,OOO,OOO in ship
ments of mining machinery, alone
The recommendation for the reha-
Utilization of the American shipping
interests which he made was for the
Government to advertise for bids on
thirteen different proposed lines, to
show what was the lowest subsidy
upon which American steamship COM
panies could operate. and then grant
the lowest bidders the subsidies ask
ed
The following lines were suggested:
From an Atlantic port to Brazil, to
Argentina, to South Africa, to Cuba,
to Europe and Great Britain; from
New Orleans to Brazil, and to Central
America and Panama, from San Fran
cisco to Japan and the Philippines;
from Puget Sound to Japan, China and
the Philippines, to Honolulu, Samoa
and Australia; from Puget Sound and
San Francisco to the West Coast OF
Mexico and Central and South Anne
RIGA.
Among those who took the floor to
discuss the question were Edward F.
Adams, Judge c. H. Lindley, William
Sexton, Frank L. Brown and former
Northumberland Alden Anderson.
