 Cy Miller and Uppy Upham beat it to Myrtle Beach just as soon as they reached town last evening. Both boys say there is nothing like the big sleep and the morning plunge in the Sound for keeping in condition. Uppy sug- gested fishing trip to Charles Is land for this morning, but Cy could not see it, so Uppy will go alone.
 Walnut and Myrtle Beaches have been invaded with an army of skirts since it was announced that Cy Miller had taken quarters there for the sea- son.
 Upham and Miller are some singers. On the trip over last evening they tore off the second verse of My Old Mans Baseball Mad, which goes something like this:-
 "why even in telling our boy how
 to court
 In the language of baseball he has
 to resort.
 He said my boy find out if you she
 deserves
 Get her batting average and study
 Then point out the sacrifice if she
 agrees
 On a double header, then work the
 squeeze.
 If errorless support she is craving, then say,
 Just show her your checks TOT the next rainy day"

SOCIETY AIDS STRIKERS.
Police Arrest Alleged Rioters, But
Make Bad Mistake.

Chicago-Well known club and soci-
ETY. women dumbfounded the police de-
partment through interference in the
strike of the garment workers.
Mounted police had charged threaten
ing mobs Of strikers and made numer-
GUS arrests in three sections of the
city, only to be completely nonplussed
when met by obdurate groups Of the
elite of Chicago's women who produced
engraved calling cards at police sta
tions in lieu Of bailbonds.
1t was new experience for the po-
lice and plainly confused them. A
score of these women champions of
the garment workers, who faced the
rioting, we're taken into custody.
They were Immediately released, how
ever, when their identity became
known to the police.
One of them was injured when struck
by policeman's club, but her name
did not become known, as she was hur-
riedly placed in an automobile and TAX
en- to her home.
Most of the women of prominence
involved in the demonstrations were
garbed as working girls, and for this
reason the police could not distinguish
them from strikers until after arrests
had been made.
II will take oath that we were doing
absolutely nothing beyond the law"

GENERAL NEWS OF NATIONAL HAPPENINGS
LARGER wARsHlPs NEEDED.
Question of Heavier Armor or Heav-
Ter Guns Is Not Settled.

Washington-Pla for bigger bat
tleships with heavier armor will be
presented to congress during the forth
coming session by Secretary of the
Navy Meyer when the question Of the
building program is taken up for con-
sideration.
Naval experts have practically
agreed that the new type of ship, Of
which congress will be asked to au-
thorize the building Of two, will be
larger and heavier than the 27,000-ton
ships now under construction. The
tonnage limit will be increased to at
least %, 900 and probably $4,000 when
the plans are matured.
The naval general board has not yet
absolutely decided whether the in
crease in weight shall be devoted to
more guns or heavier armor, but the
prevailing opinion seems to favor
heavier armor.
In case Of the latter the new ships
will have only 10 guns, but these will
be 14-inch type, which has but recent
ly been developed by the ordnance de-
partment Of the navy. With the
heavier armor the ships will be able to
come into closer battle range, thereby
increasing their effectiveness.
The building program will probably
include torpedo destroyers, and one ad-
ditional ship, either an ammunition,
repair, supply or hospital ship. An
important change in the building plans
as outlined in the tentative program
will be enlargement Of the destroyers
to 1000 tons. The largest now afoat
in the United States navy are 750 tons.
This means that the larger grey
hounds of the navy, the scout destroy
ers, will become an obsolete class.

UNION READY TO SEIZE HIM.
Honduras Under Martial Law, United
States to Act.

Washington-Martial law has been
declared in Honduras as direct result
Of the revolt of General Jose ValIa-
dares, the deposed commandant of
Amapala, against the government, ac-
cording to cable advices to the State
department from Minister McCreery,
at Tegucigalpa. The port of Amapala
has been closed and the island is in a
state of seige.
The United States gunboat Princeton
is in the harh6r at Amapala ready to
take hand in the revolution at the
first sign of hostility towards foreign
ers or their interests. President Da-
villa is preparing to send an armed
force against Valladares, and in the
event Of the governments failure to
restore order on the island the United
States probably will be asked to in
terfere.
1t would not be surprising If Com
mander Hayes, Of the Princeton, acting
under instructions from the State de-
partment, should send an armed force
ashore at any time to take Valladares
into custody. However, department
officials refuse to discuss the proba-
bility Of this beyond asserting that
American interests will be safeguard

NAVY TO TRIM EXPENSE.
Taft and Meyer Plan Concentrate
at Large Yards on Coast.

Taft and Meyer Plan Concentration
at Large Yards on Coast.
Washington-Sweeping reforms in
the Navy department looking toward
an economy Of several million dollars
are said to be included in a plan which
Secretary Meyer is reported to be pre-
pairing for presentation to President
Taft on the secretary's return from
the inspection trip upon which he is
now engaged.
The abolition of construction corps
and the pay corps and later, perhaps,
the abandonment of some of the navy
yards on the Atlantic Coast, are pre-
dicted if the plan is carried out.
The concentration of the work Of the
navy at few of the largest navy
yards-those at Boston, New York,
Philadelphia, Norfolk and San Fran
cisco-with view toward suspending
operations at Portsmouth, N. H., and
Charleston, S. c., is causing much
speculation, though it is believed moth
ing definite has been decided in the
matter beyond the plan to merge some
of them for the sake of economy.

PEARY RETURNS TO DUTY.
Polar Explorer Assigned, But Not to
Work He Preferred.


Washington Captain r. E. Peary
the Arctic explorer, returns to active
duty in the Navy department on No
vember 9, as engineer expert for the
department of justice in cases before
the Court of Claims involving construc-
tion work for the naval bureau of
yards and docks.
This work was the explorers choice
among several positions offered. Peary
would have preferred, it is said, to
have been assigned to duty at the
naval library to write of his travels in
the frozen North.
The explorer has been on leave of
absence from the department about ten
years, during which time he has been
engaged in Arctic exploration. Re-
Gently he was promoted to the rank of
captain as the result of the death of a
senior officer. A bill is now pending
in congress to make Peary a rear ad-
miral as a mark of recognition for his
polar exploits.

River Island Is Burning.

Sacramento, Cal. = Brannan island,
in Sacramento river, below this city,
is actually burning up. Fifty acres of
land have already been burned and the
fire is beyond control, as the only pump
suitable for the emergency was re-
moved last summer. The fire started
in a stubble field when an electric
power wire broke, and the blaze got
started in the peat beds under the sur
face of the ground. Nearly the whole
of the island is of this formation.
Efforts to extinguish this fire have
failed.

Peso Maker to Be Freed.

Maragua, Nic.-Provisional Presi-
dent Estrada has sent a telegraphic
message to Senior Arrellano, represen-
tative of the provisional government
at Washington, instructing him to re-
quest the release by the American gov
ernment of H. N. Secreest, who was
arrested short time ago in Chicago in
connection with printing of counter
felt Nicaraguan five-peso notes.
1t is explained that Secreest acted
under orders of the revolutionary lead
er. The orders were issued prior to
the retirement of Madriz and were
subsequently cancelled. Information
of the cancellation probably was re-
ceived by Secreest too late to prevent
his coming into conflict with the au-
thorities.

New York - Colonel christopher
Wilson, president Of the United Wire
less Telegraph company, was sent to
the Tombs by Judge Lacombe, OF the
United States District court, on pre-
sentation of the Federal grand jury,
for contempt of court in refusing to
surrender to the court a letter press
book, which the board of directors had
been subpoenaed to produce.
Certain officers of the company are
charged with fraudulently using the
mails in furtherance of an alleged
scheme to defraud investors.
Wilson's counsel applied to Judge

Federal building, where his bail bond
was signed and he was released.

Perhaps 1t was because his subjects

As 70 Absent Frlends.

There is an unfortunate tendency
with some people to talk in dispar-
aging way about absent acquaintances.
"Oh, she's very nice, but" and this
but" often leads up to a quite un-
necessary and unkind comment The
golden rule to observe in talking about
people is to speak exactly as though
they were present, says Home Notes.
Everything gains by repetition. and
not always favorably. Bishop Bever-
idge once said: Resolve never to
speak Of a mans virtues before his
face. nor Of his faults behind his
back" and faultfinders and flatterers
would do well to bear this in mind.
