what they regard as an unfortunate
impression at this time naval officials
made formal statements regarding the
published reports touching the painting
of the transport Buffalo a leaden gray
color and the prospective return of the
torpedo f1otilla to San Francisco.
An official order was produced show
ing that on November 10 the directions
were given authorizing painting of the
vessels Of the Pacific fleet a slate color,
a color which has, or is, to be given
all the vessels of the American navy.
The decision to do this with regard
to the ships of the navy was reached
a long time ago. This is the first op-
portunity that has been offered for
painting the transport Buffalo.
Regarding the torpedo f1otilla the Of

TO BE ADVERSE

jects Affected
LBy Associated Press.l

CARSON, New. Feb. 5.-The Nevada
assembly this afternoon passed the Gift
fen anti-alien land BILL which provides
that no Asiatic, including the Japanese,
shall own land or land mortgages in the
state.
The measure passed in the lower
house without any opposition, but it is
believed the senate will practically kill
the purpose of the bill, so far as it is
aimed at the Japanese, by amendments.
Both the assembly and the senate this
afternoon adjourned until Monday.
The anti-alien bill introduced by Gift
fen is as follows:
Section 1-Any nonresident alien,
person or corporation, except subjects
of the Chinese and Japanese empires,
may take, hold and enjoy any real
property or any interest in lands, tene-
ments or hereditaments within the
state of Nevada as fully, freely and
upon the same trims and conditions as
any resident citizen, person or dOmes-
tic corporation.
Section 2-The right of eminent do
main is hereby granted to such nom

same terms and conditions as the same
is granted to resident or domestic cor
porationS.
Section 3-Nothing herein contained
shall be so construed as to confer any
other or further rights under the
statutes. of limitations than those at

The Giffin anti-Japanese resolution is

Should that committee release the

been framed to table the Giffin resolu-

before he could take action, another
Republican who had not been taken

VIRTUAL REORGANIZATION DIS
CUSSED BY EXPERTS
Number and Facilities of Marine
Docks and Strategic Strength of
Fleet Among Issues Ina
Vestigated
IBy Associated Press.1

WASHINGTON, Feb. 5.-Perfect
efficiency in military action is Presi-
dent Roosevelt's idea of what the or
ganization of the navy department.
should provide and which, in his opln-
ion, it now lacks.
Under his call for that purpose,
commission of eight men of wide expe-
rience in naval matters met today to
consider the needs of the navy.
The commission consists of two for
mer secretaries of the navy, Paul w.
Morton of New York and Associate
Justice William H. Moody of the SUI
preme court Of the United States,
Judge A. G.. Dayton of West Virginia,
formerly of the house national affairs
committee, and five retired admirals, S.
B. Luce. A. T. Mahan, w. M. Folger,
Robley d. Evans and w. S. Cowles.
The president explicitly states that
he desires them to consider and report,
first the fundamental principles of a
system of organization and execution
that will provide and maintain an inn
mediate preparedness for the battle
fleet for any hostility in time of peace,
and, second, to specifically recommend
changes necessary to the present or
ganization that will accomplish this
result.
The commission is to consider stra-
tegic methods of the fleet, and the num-
Der, location and facilities of navy
yards.
This commission met at the invita-
tion of the president on January Is and
discussed naval administrative reforms
and approved Secretary Newberry's
plans of administration, though not
considering that the present organiza-
ton of the navy department provides
that efficiency which should at all times
be maintained.
Justice Moody Chairman
Justice Moody acted as chairman of
the commission and Commander w. F.
F'ullam as secretary The conference
lasted about three hours.
The deliberations were secret and
nothing was given out except the most
general statement that the meeting had
been a very satisfactory one, but that
In all probability a report would soon
be made to the president.
Rear Admiral Evans was not present.
To assist the commission in its delib-
crations there was laid before the
members today diagram sketches of
the naval organizations of Great Brit
ain, Germany, France and other ma
tions, and carefully prepared descrip-
tiOnS of the methods of management
and distribution of duties followed by
great industrial firms of the countries.
The commission was given letters
from the officers Of the Russian fleet
which was annihilated at the battle of
Tushima by the Japanese, bringing out
strongly the unpreparedness and lack
of organization, which was largely re-
sponsible for the defeat.
