NEW YORK, Aug. 1S.-Brig. Gen.
Arthur Murray of the coast artillery
is in New York preparing for an ex-
tended trip of the coast defense inspec-
ton which will extend from Portland.
Me, to the most southerly point on
the Gulf of Mexico.
The main purpose of the trip is to
determine just what is necessary in
the way of additional coast fortitica-
lions to place the nation in such a po-
sition that it may feel safe from sue
cessful attack by an enemy. With this
data collected he will go before the
various committees in congress and
ask for the needed funds,
I'VE are in splendid shape on the
Pacific coast and in the islands," says
General Murray in a statement regard
ing his plans. ut is true that we
have not a line of continuous FORTH
cations the entire length of the Pacific
coast, which many people enormously
believe to be essential, but we are in
splendid shape to resist attack at those
points where an enemy would be like
~ to seek a landing.
I'm fact, l may say that no eenmy
could assail us at any of these vital
points. All the towns and cities along
the Pacific are protected splendidly-so
strongly that II WOulu DS lOllS lOT any
one to attempt a landing, OF course
there are places where ships could land
men, but these places are such that
it would be an easy matter for our
land forces to check an invasion very
quickly. 1t would not take long to
make an intruder captive.
Unless there should be some sud
den and extraordinary change in the
style of forts and guns and battle
ships, and this does not seem posi-
BILE, our work will endure indefinitely"

Plain Clothes Men and Citizens
Make Effort to Stop the
Stone Throwing

COLUMBUS, Ohio, Aug. 1S.--Noth-
ing came from efforts of Governor
Harmon today toward bringing about
a settlement of the street car strike.
The union is willing to arbitrate. but
the company has steadfastly refused
to consider such proposals.
President Pretzman of the chamber
of commerce today asked Business
Agent Miller of the car mems union
if the men would accept settlement
proposed involving an increase in
wages to 25 cents an hour and abandon
their demand for recognition of the
union and the wearing of the union
buttons. Miller said the proposal
would not be satisfactory.
Mayor Marshall tonight greatly in
creased his force of police in plain
clothes who are hidden about the city
in alleys and vacant lots, looking for
stone throwers, and Sheriff Sartain
added 100 men to his list of special
deputies and citizens who have volun-

cd of Obtaining TaIeSmen

CHICAGO, Aug. 1s.--As a result Of
difficulty in getting jury for the sec

charged with buying votes to elect
William Lorimer to the United States
senate, States Attorney John w. Way
man announced today he would at
tack the system of drawing venire-

ended.
"It is a frightful commentary on the
conditions of our court" he said, that
of several hundred jury names drawn,
only eight men were considered capa-
BILE of trying this case. More than 30
per cent of the names drawn are those
of men just 81 years old, young clerks
and mechanics. We have had almost
no leading men of business"
