CHOATE FOR LARGER NAVY
Leading Speaker Praises the World
Tour Idea of Ex-President
Roosevelt

New York, Feb. 2l.-Some 1000
veterans of the Spanish-American
war attended a memorial service in
Carnegie Hall yesterday afternoon
to celebIate the twelfth anniversary
of the blowing up of the Maine in
Havana harbor.
Joseph IL. Choate presided and in
addition to him, Admiral Sigsbee,
who commanded the Maine at the
time of the explosion, and Congress
man Sulzer, delivered addresses.
The Rev. Father Chadwick, formerly
chaplain of the Maine, also spoke.
The audience cheered heartily when
small band of men made up of sur
yivors from the wrecked warship,
marched to seats on the platform, be-
hind the speakers. Near them on
the platform sat Gen. Daniel E. Sick
les. He was also welcomed
applause.
Mr.. Choate prefaced his address by
saying that it does not do credit to
our Government or the people of the
United States to have the wreck of
le Maine still lying at the bottom of
Havana harbor. obstructing naviga-
tion and, as he expressed it, "a mon
ument to the horror of Feb. 10,
twelve years ago"
1T is absolutely essential he
said, for this country to maintain
its navy-that cheapest defense of
our great nation. do not think that
Mr.. Roosevelt in all his brilliant ca
reer ever had happier idea than
that of sending the navy around the
world on its message of peace and
good will.
BY and by, and at no distant day,
the Panama canal will be opened
the last great triumph to American
brains and energy and diplomacy
On that day the need for the navy
will be doubled. Soon we will have
a merchant marine. We shall no
longer be exposed to the ignominy
OF seeing our exports carried away
with only per cent. covered by the
American flag We shall see our
merchant marine restored to what il
was before the civil war and even
more. Then the work of our navy
will be increased"
Along toward the end of the meet
ing Il resolution was introduced by
Maurice Simmons, Commander OF
the Department of New York, U. S
w, ", asking Congress to raise the
Maine. 1t was adopted with ap
plause.

During the past month Game Wal

structions from State Fish and
Game Commissioner Thomas and the
primary object of the "Trip was to OBJ
tain a look at the wild creatures.
At different times during the day
the party was divided into smaller
sections but all saw several deer and
had an enjoyable tramp. The snow
was in excellent condition and the
other conditions were ideal for trip
of this kind. The only accident
other than a few tumbles was the
loss of a good sized lunch bag by
Wills White. Fortunately Cfor the
discoverers) the bag was found about
two hours after the dinner hour by
eight of the trampers and effectually
disposed of.
On the return trip one section Of
the party crossed the Massachusetts
line and there met Game Warder

is making frequent trips into the sec

HOME SEEKERS TO
STAND IN LINE
FOR 10 DAYS
Line Of 200 Formed in Front
of Land Office
ALLOTMENT MADE MARCH !
Remarkable Strife for f72 Farms Of
40 Acres to BE Opened for
Settlement at Yuma, Cal

Washington, Feb. 21.-Unwilling
that a record-breaking endurance
test should be held with the approval
of the Government, Secretary Balm
ger has adopted novel plan for the
allotment of the forty-acre farms at
Yuma, Cal, on March /.
The necessity for the plan arose
from the anxiety of claimants to be
the first on the spot when the allot-
ments were made. The Secretary
has been informed by telegraph that
more than 200 men and women had
already formed in line before the
Land Office in Los Angeles, so as to
be the first on hand on March l.
The hardships which would result
from such an endurance test did not
appeal to the Secretary, who has or
dered that a hall or a baseball park
large enough to accommodate all
who desire to participate in the al
lotment be engaged in Los Angeles
for the day of allotment. To those
assembled in this hall or park by 9
a. m. on that day cards will be dis
tributed by agents of the govern
ment. On these the name, age.
height, and post Office address OF
each homeseeker must be written.
At any time between March and
March 10 the applicant may appear
at the Land Office in Los Angeles.
and upon being identified by the card
may make application for any of the
l72 farms that the Government Is to
give away. An opportunity will be
given to those who file on the same
farm to decide among themselves
which shall have the land. II THIS /.
not done the Government officials
will decide the lucky person by lot.

are the only remaining positions to
be filled. While an actual agree
ment has not been reached Manager
Higgins is confident that "Al' Haynes
the left handler who will be the Yer
mont university's leading pitcher
this year. will be with Bennington
again to help pull down the four
team league pennant.
Manager Higgins is also negotia-
ting with Inglis, the Rensselaer, Poly
technic catcher who gave such gen.
eral satisfaction in the game that he
caught at Morgan park last season.
He is a big, fast man, an all round
athlete and would make strong adj
dition to the team.
The directors of the Bennington
baseball association are now busily
engaged in making preparations for
the fair to be held in April and
from which 1t is hoped to secure a
treasury fund with which to open the
season. The tickets for the fare
have been distributed about town
and some sales are being recorded
The fair will undoubtedly be given @
large patronage for there is no en-
tertainment of its kind held during
the year which appeals SO directly t
so large a number of people. A liz
tie generosity just now in the pur
chase of tickets would aid the cause
materially

San Francisco, Feb. 21.-Battling
Nelson is so confident that he will

Philadelphia, Feb. 21-Rioting in
every section of this city followed the
attempt of the Philadelphia Rapid
Transit company to operate its lines
here yesterday. Passengers and
crews were driven from the cars by
Infatuated mobs of strike sympaUhi-
zers and in nearly score of instan-
ces the abandoned cars were burn d
or otherwise destroyed At nighttall
every car was withdrawn from ser
vice.
Stern measures were adopted by
the police to quell the disorders and
nearly 500 persons were arrested
charged with melting TO riot. Two
women were shot by stray bullets
and many people were removed to
hospitals.
Mayor Reyburn ordered Police Dir.
ector Clay to swear in 5000 addition
al police and issued a proclamation
putting in effect the riot act.
The executive committee of the
Central Labor Union at a meeting in
the afternoon pledged both moral
and financial support to the striking
car men. They also decided to call
sympathetic strike of every union
man in the city in case the authorl-
ties put in effect their threat to OPP
crate the cars with policemen and
firemen.
At Twenty-sixth and Wharton
streets in the northern part of the
city. mob of boys drove the con
ductor and motorman from their
posts and after the four women pas
sengers had left the car, set it on
fire with waste taken from a nearby
freight car. The following car was
also stopped and was being set on
fire when detachment of police and
a chemical engine reached the scene
In this same section Mary Deylin
aged l6 years was shot in the lee
when the police fired their revolverS
in an effort to check the mob.
Contradictory claims are made h.
the opposing forces as to the nun
Der of men on strike. The leader
of the Amalgamated Association o
Street and Electric Railway Employ
es say that 600 of the 1000 employs
of the transit company have lef
their cars The officials of the CON
pany say that 5000 of their employee
are loyal
The transit officials say 297 car
were wrecked, two completely burr
ed and one partially burned by n
mobs today. Two thousand six hur
dred and eight car windows wer
smashed. The officials of the con
pany charge that the rioting was dill
ected by union men.
The Strikers and the, lsympathizer
are displaying more bitterness
against the company than at an
time during the strike of last sun
mer. At no time during the forme
strike was the rioting so widespread
nor were there as many persons ell
gagged in attacking the cars. Me
with union buttons were found in III
mobs everywhere and they are cha
ged with being the ringleaders
many of the disturbances. More s
we're rioting is expected. The ord'
of Mayor Reyburn to swear in 800
additional police has also embittert
the men.

Mrs. Savage and her daughter.
Ruth, who have been living in
Thatcher for the past year, left for
their home in Woodruff this week.
Miss Ruth taught domestic art in
the district school this year, and
made for herself a reputation both
in skill along her line and ability to
manage the girls. We hope Miss
Ruth will return another year.
Next week promises to be one of
the most interesting commencement
weeks ever held in Thatcher. All
the different classes will give pro-
gram, and Judging from the amount
of work being done along these
lines, they are going to be good.
The graduating class will hold their
exercises Thursday evening. There
will be six graduates, as follows.
Miss Nellie Nash, of Thatcher; Mrs.
Eva Gourley, of Thatcher; Miss
Lodema Swanger, of Stafford; David
Lee and Martin Mortensen, of
Thatcher, and Fred Skinner, of
Graham.
