as we We're considered one of the
larger worldly powers We should, by
all means. have nevy large enough
to protect that prestage,
Miss Lila Rogers. the first mega
tive said that the present navy was
large enough. Miss Rogers said it
had been shown that too much money
mad been foolishly and wastefully
spent on the navy and it should be
looked into She said a larger navy
of the u. s. would cause imitation
among other nations. She also
brought out facts regarding the mum
erous accidents that have occurred
on the ships in the past several
years and said If more money was
spent in preventing them the navy
would be nearer the perfection point
ana it wouldn't have to be increas ed
Miss Rogers also advanced good
point when she said that the talk of
war with other nations was foolish.
Nature protects the u. S. because
we supply some of the largest coun-
tries with food and clothing stuffs
and if they should enter into war
with rs where would these things
come from?
Miss Margaret Strong, affirmative
ly said that in times of peace we
Should prepare for war President
Roosevelt said the navy should be
increased and he was about as good
authority as could be found.
Miss Enice Hawkins, the second
negative said by increasing the navy
other prominent nations, hostile to
us and think we We're doing it to
keep up hostility instead of peace.
The treaties with other nations she
said required Us to put forth our eli.
forts towards peaceful relations rath-
err than towards war.
The third affirmative, Miss Anna
Burke compared the navy to the mod
ern police force. She said the latter
was to guard individual cities and the
former were national police to
guard the nation ana the stronger
and larger each was the better it was
prepared to do its duty. Our enor-
nous coastline must be protected
and we couldn't do this if we didn't
have larger navy. War wouldn't
give us time to dn this and conse-
quent now was the time to make the
Improvements and increases.
Edward Hill, the last negative
speaker said as long as no war
was imminent the navy shouldn't be
increased. He said there was talk OF
a coming conflict with England but
aid that was all a mistake. Eng
land was dependent upon us for sup
plies etc, and this alone would keep
them from fighting us He said ma
ture gave US enough protection and
we should better appreciate this than
to spend large sums of money fool
ishly to increase the navy.
In rebuttal win Neff came back
rather hard at his opponents. The
judges, Misses "hyllis Smith and

Messrs. Asquith. Lloyd-George. and

OF the women's wrath. but the other
ministers are not exempt
Some seventy policemen are now con-
stantly employed in guarding the per-

STUDENTS ADDICTED
TO USE OF DRUGS
Alarming Condition Found
by Coroner at u. of P.

Philadelphia. Nov. 2S.-Hypodermic in
Jections OF morphine and a dose of ace
tanilid caused the death of lie Roy Scott,
of Denver, the senior OF the University
of Pennsylvania medical school who was
found unconscious Saturday in one of the
schools dormitories.
I'VE have discovered" said Coroner
Ford to-day, ''that nearly three-fourths
Of the students in the college are drug
users. This statement does not apply only
TO the medical department, but to prac-
tically every department in the college.
While most of the students do not use
the drug regularly, nearly all of them
use some sort of stimulant during the
examination period.
During the investigation surrounding
the death of Scott my men found that the
favorlte drug of the students during ex-
animation time is strychnine. They cram
for nights at a time. and then go into
the examination room Just about chuck
full of strychnine. II IS a wonder We
don't have more sudden Deaths"
DR.. Allen ]. Smith, professor Of pa
thology and dean of the medical depart
ment declared that he has no knowledge
of any such extensive drugging as has

Boston, Nov. 2s.-John D. Long. former
Secretary of the Navy. took fall out OF
John Barrett to-day because the latter,
in his biography of Admiral Dewey. says
Secretary Long was opposed TO the ap-
pointment of Dewey 10 the command OF

he states that Secretary Long was OPP

another name he was overruled- Had
Mr.. Barrett taken the trouble 20 insure
accuracy in his statement by inquiry OF
me nc would have learned that his story

in which President Mckinley suggested
to me a naval selection. He left such Sc

who, Of course, submitted them when OF
special importance TO him for approval
IN this case there was in the fall of
1887 a vacancy in the command OF the
Asiatlc squadron. The turn OF Dewey
and another commodore for sea service
had come and the choice was between
them. I selected Dewey, giving the other
the European squadron. having satisfied
myself by inquiring among naval experts
and without consideration Of any outside
Influences that each was better fitted
than the other for the post assigned.
President Mckinley never suggested
Dewey's name TO me. nor was 1t men,

the Mormons succeeded in routing the
revolutlonists or bandits. The govern

The real hard fighting was done at
Dubtan, and the Mormons. who have ex-
pended $4,000 in improving their lands

tablishIng water system, took up arms
as a last resort when the Mexicans were
firing upon them and driving of their
cattle and threatening to burn their
buildings. II is reported many revolu-
tionists were wounded, but the defenders
escaped without any injuries.
The Mormons sent a delegation under

ShOtEuns for Hunting.

Boston. Nov. 2S.-That the speech OF

merce Commission. made before the Busi-

rates is the statement OF Judge Judson

Clements said:
Whatever Chairman Knapp NAV have
said In his speech affords no basis for
the assumption that the chairman speaks
for the commission. / do want 10 say
that tho chairman speaks for himself

justification OF railroad rate increases,
then our continued Investigation OF the

If the differences were justified by the
ehairman's speech at New York. IT is
better that all concerned should have
been spared the performance.
'"fhe questions involved in the commits

creases in rates are OF great gravity. and
the commission will reach a decision only
after a full investigation and hearings

PRAYS. THAT TAFT
BE LIBERAL-MINDED

Phoenix, Ariz.. Nov. 2S.-In the consti-
tutional convention this morning Chap
lain Crutchfield made a new departure
in his Office by praying most fervently
for the success of the proposed consti-
tuition. both in its submission 10 the
voters and on its consideration by
President Taft. There was an acute
break in the reveTential attitude OF the
members when the chaplain implored-
And Lord. we hope that President
Taft viii not turn down the constitu-
tion for a little thing like the referen-
dun. Lord. don't let him be so narrow
and partisan as 20 refuse US self-goY-
ernment"
The chaplain prayed that the news
papers would cease unfavorabiy head
lining the convention news, and that
the people would not reject the consti-
tuition because It dses not include female
suffrage.

GOVERNMENT BEGINS SUIT
TO DISSOLVE SUGAR TRUST

Suit 10 dissolve the sugar trust was
begun yesterday by the Federal govern
ment by fling a bill IN equity In the
United States Court IN New York.
United States Attorney Wise declares
in a long petition that the American
Sugar Refining Company and its sub
sidiaries are an unlawful combination in
restraint Of trade.
The suit is brought under the con-
spiracy section Of the Sherman antitrust
act. Intunctions Of a wide-reaching char
need be. The thirty companies compos-
ing the sugar combine have an aggregate
capitalization OF s2300O0.ooo. and control
a large percentage Of the output OF sugar
in this country.
The combine is able. the government
alleges, to fix prices arbitrarily. The
petition charges that for years the com
panies have violated the law. and have
oppressed competitors and ground them
out OF existence. Railroad rebates and
custom-house frauds are mentioned as
devices which were employed TO raise
the combine 20 the commanding position
