Mr. Shaw. Il cited the fact that we

and hired seven ships built of foreign
material in foreign yards, and noating
foreign flags, to carry the necessary
supplies, and stated what all men
know. that one hostile shot from the

In talking of the object of their

expected to learn something OF the
forest work before returning TO the
east, and hoped to be able to aid
somewhat In the work at hand. Mr..

6 A NJ B LE R s
FINED IN
COURT

The police department raided the
st. Louis gambling house, on the cor
ner Of Twenty-fifth street and Grant
avenue. last night and arrested the
proprietors of the place on the charge
OF keeping a gambling house.
Complaints were filed against Al
bert johnson and Edward Burns
charging them with gambling and
against Charles Cralgbaum charging
him with keeping a house resorted to
for gambling purposes. The defend
ants were arraigned before the Munic-
ipal court this morning and they each
pleaded guilty. Judge Murphy SEN
fenced each one to pay fine of S99 or
serve 80 days In the city jail The
fines were all paid
The officers had no difficulty IN On.
tering the gambling place. and the
occupants of the place offered no re-
slstance to the officers when they
were placed under arrest

Japan CAM did not say she will,
but that she can-put 100000 sol
diers In Hawaii In thirty days with
out firing q shot and, being then NJ
war, VIC could not put 100000 over
there to contest the territory In two
years. We have no ships with which
to do II and. in event of war. we
could neither hire nor buy.
Japan can land feet at Seattle
any soggy day without so much as
sho can march her troops down the
coast and take every excuse for ford-
tications which we have on the coast
without serious opposition. Not one
of the forts is protected from the
rear and cannon that are mounted
to defend against an attack by sea
cannot be turned around in Is min
utes to resist an attack from the
land.
Il also cited the fact that. If ovcry
powder mill In the United States
were 70 make powder twenty-four
hours per day for more than thirty
days. the product would last our pre-
sent navy two hours. so that, IN case
of war, II every powder mill were
10 quit making sporting and blast
Ing powder and work twenty-four
hours per day for the government.
We could fight two hours every
month.
These are not state secrets. Ev-
erybody knows them except our
selves, And still We go on building
battleshlps.
In this We do well. but battle
ships without eolliers and transports
are absolutely worthless. In case OF
war we could not get our Atlantic
feet to San Francisco. No vessel In
the fleet can carry coal enough to
take it there and we have no Golfers
and could then hire none. I did not
predict war. but / did predict what
we would wake up TO in case OF
war"

CONFERENCE
WITH The
FARMERS

Representatives OF the sugar beet
farmers Of Weber county held a con-
ference with President David Ecclcs
OF the Amalgamated Sugar company
yesterday. for the purpose OF learn
ing what the sugar company can do
this year by way OF raising the price
per ton for sugar beets They repre-
sented TO Mr. Ecclos that the beet
growers felt that they should get at
least s475 a ton for beets. and that
better railroad facilities should be
afforded them in the shipment OF the
beets TO the factory.
In answer TO their suggestions, MI
Eccles stated II would be quite i'm
possible for tho company TO paw si.75
per ton for beets and make the fac
tory operate at n profit TO the stock
holders. That tho farmers would
have 10 content themselves with the
prices of last year II they desired to
market their bcets With the Anal
gamntcd company. II Is a question
altogether. he contended OF whether
they could raise beets AZ the price
the company could afford 10 pay, and
whether they desired TO sell their
product To the Amalgamated com
pany.
Regarding the question OF guaran-
teeing better railroad facilities, Mr..
Eccles told the beet raisers that he
could not do that because the matter
of operating railroads. over which the
beets were hauled was not within his
reach. but he told them that he
would do all In his power to get Inn
proved facilities, and would cooper
ate with the farmers in an appeal to
the railroad companies for better &C
commodations
