MEAGER REPORT FILED.
Navy Department Without Details
of Launch Accident.

Save for a brief mail report giving a
list OF casualties along the line already
announced at New York by Admiral
Schroeder. the Navy Department officials
have received no Official details regard
ing the fearful loss Of life in the battle
ship New Hampshire's launch accident
in New York harbor Saturday night Mes
sages of sympathy were sent out by the
department to the families Of those miss
ing, expressing the hope that some of
them may yet prove to be survivors of
the accident.
Naval officials say 1t is the worst dis
aster that has happened since the naval
tug Nina and her crew OF thirty-two men
foundered Off the Delaware coast last
February. and that 1t is the largest loss
of life that they recall where the war
ship itself remained intact. Just how the
places of the men will be filed will de-
pend on the ships rating. The accident
will not interfere in any way with the
European cruise of the New Hampshire
With the other vessels OF the Atlantic fleet.
A couple OF thousand new men will be
shipped aboard the feet before it's de-
parture for Europe, mostly to replace
those whose time is about to expire. but
In order to give as many as possible the
aAvantage OF the cruise there will be an
excess Of 500 or moro over what are actu.
ally needed for the ships complement.

cIared today that he will take all neces,
sary steps to put 1t down. even to the
extent of calling out the militia to en-
force his orders.
Attorney General Isaac Strauss has ad-
vised the governor that he has a right to
call the military power Of the state in
case any resistance is made The gov
ernor, however. said he would take nc
drastic action today.
The members of the board are under
charges Of incompetency and misconduct
laid against them at the instance of Gov
Crothers, who recently held an investi-
cation of the police department. At the
inquiry testimony was adduced showing
corruption in the department and laxity
The governor holds the commissioners
were derelict in their duty In failing to
find out these things and has ordered
that they be placed on trial before him.
Members Of the Board.
The members of the board are John B.
A. Wheltle, president: Peter E. Tome and
Col. c. Baker Clotworthy.
The governor. 1t is understood, will try

Of the board. who is Ill with appendicitis
an effect he will proceed with his pro-
gram.
In case the governor uses force the
commissioners. it is declared, will appeal

dition of President Wheltle. William
Sheppard Bryan. counsel for the COM
missioners. stated that the board would
do nothing rash, but would stand up for
its rights.
Should the governor order out the mill

his men in charge of the department, the
police board will then appeal to the
courts for protection" said Mr.. Bryan.

The imperial senate constitutes the sec

first was the Inauguration a year ago
of the provincial assemblies. The crown

for 1915. The imperial senate Is expected
to demonstrate the fitness of the Chinese

the way for genuinely representative

rank and file to the Landee slate is
not to be tolerated, that is so far as
the candidacy of B. F. Knox, the for
mer mayor of Rock Island, for state
senator is concerned, at least. Coun-
ty Chairman Joseph De Silva has
taken care of that. Whether this has
been accomplished. by silencing the
cry for Knox or of placating by
means of state appointment to be
Forthcoming later, remains for flu
ture events to demonstrate. At any
event we are not to hear any more
of Knox-and the petitions are to
be in tomorrow.
On the county ticket, the dissen-
sion has not been so easily quieted.
The slate there is not nearly so COM
pact nor so secure as it was a week
