NAVAL SECRETARY N.
SEATTLE
SPENDS DAY AT PUGET SOUND
YARDS, STUDYING THE
SITUATION.
VIII inspect Naval Property Of Gov.
eminent All Along This Coast and
Then on Gulf Of Mexico-Request Of
Coast Cities for Fleet to Be Taken
Up Soon.

Seattle. Oct. 10.-Secretary of the
Navy George Won L. Meyer, who is
swinging around the coas. line of the
United States, inspecting naval sta
lions, arrived in Seattle Saturday
night.
Regarding the recommendations he
may make in reference to the navy
yard, Puget sound, the secretary de-
clined to make any statement until he
has had an opportunity to make a
thorough inspection of the yard.
Silent on Pacific Fleet.
The secretary said that he had read
IN the newspapers reports of the me-
mortal which the mayors of Coast
cities are going to present to him ask
Ing that a permanent battleshlp fleet
be stationed on the Pacific coast. He
said that while in California he in.
tended to see Gov. Gillett and go over
the matter with him. He declined to
commit himself as to what policy
would be recommended.
Secretary Meyer put himself on rec
ord as favoring the purchase of Pa
cific coast coal for naval needs on this
coast, provided coal can be found
that will stand the naval test.
Coast Coal Would be Cheap.
Asked if he did not consider Repre-
sentative w. E. Humphreys claim,
that the naval test was unfair, Secre-
tary Meyer replied: IF it is, then it
must be remedied. It would save the
department half the cost of coal if it
could be bought on the Pacific coast
instead of being brought around from
the Atlantic"
Representative Humphrey has been
fighting for some time trying to force
Inc navy to purchase coal for it's needs
on the Pacific coast, and he said that
be would again take the matter up
with Secretary Meyer At the last
session of congress bill introduced
by Representative Humphrey COMPEL
ing the purchase of coal on the Pacific
coast for the Pacific coast naval needs
failed of passage by but one vote.
Received by Senator Piles.
Secretary Meyer was met at the de-
pot by Senator Samuel H. Piles and
president ]. D. Lowman, of the Cham
Der Of Commerce, and escorted to the
hotel. There the secre-
tary was met by Capt. v. L. Cottman,
in command of the navy yard at
and Representative Hum
phrey.
The secretary announced that he
would spend the entire day Sunday in
specting the navy yard. In the even
ing he was entertained at dinner by
the Chamber Of Commerce.
Goes South From Here.
From Seattle Secretary Meyer will
go to San Francisco and will inspect
the Mare Island navy yard. He will
then inspect property of the depart
ment at Los Angeles and San Diego.
From California he announced he
would proceed direct to the Gulf Of
Mexico and inspect all departmental
along that coast.
Regarding the proposal that the
coast defenses of the United States
army and the naval forces should CO.
operate more closely on coast de-
lenses, the secretary said, that is
matter for the joint army and navy
board to consider"

ESTABLISH PACIFIC FLEET
AS SOON AS POSSIBLE

Seattle, Oct. 11-That the govern
ment and naval department are well
disposed toward the Pacific coast was
the assertion made last evening by
Secretary of the Navy George Won L.
Meyer.
'That explains my visit among you,'
he said. 81 have come here to look
into conditions and make preparations
for proper defense Of the Pacific
coast.
Water Depth Here Praised.
Before that can be done. however.
care must be taken that this coast can
maintain fleet. It cannot do so now.
For while you have fine depth of
water in Puget Sound, your present
dock would not accommodate more
than half Of the smaller ships Of the
navy. We cannot, therefore, divide
our Atlantic fleet at this time. Your
new dock will not be completed until
1912. but even then we could not very
well send fleet here.
.sAt San Francisco we have differ
emit condition. There we have an en-
cheering problem because OF the shall
low water and the large deposits Of
silt. Not one Of our large ships could
dock there.
New Bookkeeping.
Now with reference to the pro-
posed test Of your coal on our battle
ships / want to say, as told those
present at tonight's dinner OF the
Chamber OF Commerce, that $4,000 or
even larger sum viii not be allowed
by me to stand in the way Of having
a fair test Of your coal. The CRATES re-
quired for fair test viii be installed "
Secretary Meyer said that another
object Of his visit was to establish :
uniform system Of bookkeeping IN the
Pacific yards, similar to that he has
had adopted on the Atlantic coast.

Liberia Needs
Strong Backing
Hard Pressed by Internal Dangers and
Threatened With Outside Opposition.
the Little African Republic Is Well
Nigh Hopeless Commissioners
Report Not Optimistic.

Perhaps no state paper of national
or international importance in recent
years has given rise to as much con-
lecture and widespread interest among
AfrO-Americans in the United States
as has the long looked for report of
the American commission which was
sent TO Liberia in the spring of 1909
to investigate and report on the gen.
eral condition of affairs in that little
republic.
Upon three distinct occasions during
the year the aforesaid interest was
intensified, but without any definite
information as to the actual work or
accomplishments of the commission
ers. The first was when the commits
siOners returned to the United States,
the second was the return of United
States Minister Ernest Lyon and third,
when congress convened last Decem-
public.
Pressed upon one side by France and
beset by Great Britain upon the other.
Liberia. the little Negro republic OF
Africa, is between two millstones
which threaten to grind it off the map
unless the nation has the support of
some power commensurate in strength
with Great Britain and France.
This is one of the principal conclu-
sions expressed in the report of the
American commission to Liberia,
which was transmitted to congress by
President Taft with a special mes
sage on Saturday, March 2G After
reviewing the internal dangers which
threaten Liberia as well as those
which crowd upon her from the out
side. the report recommends:
That the United States extend its aid
to Liberia in the prompt settlement of
her boundary disputes.
That the United States enable Ii
IBERIA to refund its debt by assuming,
as guarantee for the payment of OBJ
legations under such an arrangement,
the control and collection of Liberian
customs.
That the United States lend its as
sistance to the reform of the internal
finances.
That the United States aid in organ
,nuG ana drilling competent constab-
maintain a research station ana reOpeE
the question of establishing Il naval
r,;a).ng station in Liberia.
For what it has been able to accom-
plisE the government of the little re-
public and those responsible for its
rule are commended highly by the
commission. The Liberians have ad
vanced in their civilization, and the
native element has not undergone any
retrogressiou. The civilization of the
nation has also done much toward ad-
vancing the tribes, the commission
says.
Attention is called to the fact that
the Liberians never have resorted to
revolution. and the nation is not, as
has been said, bankrupt. Liberia,
while attempting to solve her internal
problems. has become involved in e1-
ternaI ones which are very threaten.

Some amusing incidents are told OF
how slowly things move in the older
countries, and how hard it is to stop

ton as to just why he was stationed
there. Nobody knew When old rec

OF research had been carried through,
1t was found that Catherine l. had
once passed that way and admiring a
crocus that then grew on the spot,
had ordered that the blossom be pro-
tected. Cossacks relieved one an
other through the centuries after that,
although the crocus had long ago per

WHAT PUZZLES THE SENATOR
Statesman Wants to Know Why Cats
Disseminated Against Cross
Eyed Brother.

A senator came into the cloakroom
in rather pensive mood and stood
silent for some minutes-thoughtf
smoking. 1t was supposed that some
problem of legislation lay heavy on
his mind, until he broke the silence,
without even a prelude:
81 have been bothered with rats and
it makes me nervous because l have

bonic plague We had six cats in the

that bail he struck wide of the mark.
Then ! caught him, looked closer at
him and behold, the cat was cross
eyed.
What puzzles me now is to decide
whether or not there is an aristocIacy
of cat life into which a crooked-ey
cat cannot come. He was evidently an
outcast and a pariah with his kind,
for he carefully kept his corner all the
time the other cats were around Now,
the rats left with the cats, and what
| want to know is whether there is
not some feeling of caste among rats
as well as cats in refusing to even as
sociate with a crOss-eyed cat. No bu-
bonic plague, gentlemen, with cross
eyed cats available. It's in the old

the question arose as to what should
