Japan Awakening.
fAmerican News Service)

Washington, Dec. 3.-The announce
ment made recently that the United
States plans the building of two bat
tleships, one collier and one gunboat
with a portion of the S126, 6,0A6,659 ap-
preparation asked Tor the fiscal year
beginning July /, 1911, calls atten-
man naval construction and also to
the sudden awakening of Japan along
the same lines.
Germany has made a decided gain
in the naval strength over the United
States in the last year, and while our
navy stands second in respect to ton
mage afloat, the Germans outdistanced
us in the building of new ships, be-
sides making a decided stride toward
equality with the British navy.
1t is believed by many experts that
Germany has already eclipsed us in
the actual strength of the ships now
in commission. Statistics as to the
German naval force deal only with
the vessels in commission but even
those which are regarded as OBJ
solete are included in the Ameri-
can statistics. France remains in
fourth place, next below the United
States. But she has lost nearly fifty
thousand tons afoat, the equivalent
of two Dreadnoughts and one smaller
boat, while she has gained practically
nothing in building.

POWDER MARK WAS
| FOUND ON FINGER
Damaging Testimony Was
Given Against Hattie lie
/ Blanc in Her Trial.
(American News Service)

Cambridge. Mass. Dec 3.-The first
damaging testimony against little
Hattie lie Blanch was given at her
trial for the murder of Clarence
Glover today by Attorney Samuel d.
Elmore, who acted as counsel for
Glover's wife after her husband was
killed.
He testified that when the little
French girl was found hiding in the
Glover home. three days after the
finger of her right hand black mark
This was surrounded by small black
dots. 1t is the contention of the state
that this was caused when the girl
shot Glover and that the black dots
were powder marks, though nothing
was brought out today as to what
caused them.
Elmore testified that when the girl
was found she told him she had been
hiding under the bed for ten days.
There was a controversy among the
lawyers as to whether the girls un-
derstanding of English at that time
and then Elmore was questioned care
fully about the mark on her hand.
He said: The mark was on the in
dex finger of her right hand just be-
yond the second joint. 1t was about
the size of my little finger nail. Part
Of it was red and the rest black. The
tissue looked scared and drawn.
There were other small marks on the
wrist really not more than dots.
II was brought out this afternoon
that when Hattie LEBLANC was asked
point blank by the police in Waltham
if she had shot Grover, she emphatical-
ly denied it.
Did you shoot Mr. Clover" was
asked.
No" promptly replied Hattie in
English.
The jury was excused from this
room when this information was re-
vealed to Mr.. Bond.
Mr. Higgins declared the question
about the shooting of Glover in Eng
lish before the interpreter had put it
in French.

Secretary OF War Dickinson COM
mands great respect in army circles.
Generally a secretary is not respected
for his martial accomplishments. This
was true of Secretary Dickinson until
a number Of officers took him out to
the rifle ranges to explain their work
in teaching the army how to shoot.
The officers took up rifles and in five
or six attempts managed to make "a
bulls eye" at a thousand yards. Sec
retary Dickinson looked on and when
the show was over said: Let me have
one of those guns"
Accommodated. he made five quick
shots, hitting the bulls eye three
times. The officers nearly collapsed
and are now mum when rifle practice,
especially sharpshooting is under dis
cussion and Secretary Dickinson is
present
Back in his Tennessee mountains
the Secretary of War has for years en-
joyed the reputation of being a crack
shot.
IL Is expected in the State Depart
ment that Mr.. Willing Spencer will be
of great aid to Mr.. Huntington Wilson,
assistant secretary of State. during
the negotiations. to come this winter
for various foreign loans in which
American bankers have an interest.
Mr.. Spencer has been second secre-
tary Of the embassy at London and at
st. Petersburg. where he displayed
considerable ability in negotiations for
the Chinese loan OF $50,00O,O00. The
United States government is now do
ing its best to obtain for American
bankers a chance to negotiate the
Turkish loan, the amount of which
has not been settled.
Mr.. Huntington Wilson. Assistant
Secretary of State. has just returned
to this country after a special mission
to Turkey. ostensibly to congratulate
the new ruler upon his accession to
the throne. 1t is well understood in
State Department circles, however,
that Mr.. Wilson's principal mission to
Turkey was to present the views of
the American government as to the
distribution OF the loan.
simultaneously with the announce.
ment Of Mr.. Wilson's mission to Tur-
key came the order for Mr.. Willing
Spencer to report for duty at the
State Department. It is believed in
Washington and New York that Mr..
Spencer. Notwithstanding his compara-
tive youth will be OF much service to
the State Department in financial mat
ters in which foreign governments are
interested.

ming with December ! the smoking OF
cigarets by the employees will be con-
sidered sufficient cause for their dis

given by the general officials are that
the habitual use of cigarets tends to
benumb the brain and as a conse-

full value in service and that inter

A Health Department.

There is pending before the house
committee on Interstate and Foreign
commerce a measure which President
Taft is said to heartily favor. 1t is the
bill to create a department of public
health. The committee had for con-
sideration last session, but owing to
the pressure brought to bear on sever
al other bills having the endorsement
of the administration. This particular
bill was laid over for the short ses-
sion
The effort to create an executive de-
partment of health with a representa-
tive in the cabinent is not new. The
movement was started more than a
decade ago. and it's first fruit was an
enlargement of the powers of what
was then the marine hospital service.
by changing the name to the Public
Health and Marine Hospital Service"
and extending it's jurisdiction. But
since then bureaus with authority over
matters pertaining to health have
been established in several of the
executive departments which. as may
be imagined, have occasioned friction
now and then
The bill to create the department of
public health is endorsed by the
American Medical association and is
opposed by the League for Medical
Freedom. the latter being composed
Of physicians of the newer schools.
The opposition is based largely on the
ground that the proposed department
would place the American Medical as
sociation on top, and only physicians
belonging to that association would
receive recognition by the government.
OF course, this is stoutly denied by the
advocates of the bill, who at the short
session will. as a compromise, move to
consolidate the various health bureau
in the several departments under one
head to be known as the Public Health
bureau. 1t is not to be under the head

Important Ones.
Ev RcCER!Ck CLIFFORD.

Washington, Dec. 3.-To Judge OF
! the rune.ous stories printed in the
newspapers about the re-aDportion-
ment which congress will be called
upon to make this coming session.
under the census for 1910 one would
think tiat TIE question was purely
partisan ard that Z Republicans be-
ing IL cCrtrol Of ccnoreGJ will steal a
march Cn tie Democrats b. enacting
tie legislation new. thus robbing the
Democratic majority in the next house
from framing the law. The fact is
the next house will have nothing to
do with the re-appOrtionment. The
law making the re-apportionment I'M
der any census is always enacted by
the short session of the congress that
expires with the completion of the
enumeration, and there is never any
exception to this rule. There cannot
be any partisan advantage for the rea-
son that the re-apportionment of con-
gress is based on an equal division OF
the enumeration. so that each state
is treated on exactly the same basis.
The Washington newspaper cores
pendent can always be depended on to
get up something that will cause COM
ment,'' said an old employee of the
house today. and the re-apportion-
ment story belongs to that class. but
the fellow who first started it evident
ly got his data mixed. No doubt he
had in mind the state legislatures in
stead of congress. You know the leg
islatures. when they change political
ly. get busy and gerrymander the state
| thus fixing the boundaries of election
districts SO that by the Shfftins Ord
county here and there the political
complexion Of the district can be
changed without consulting the voter.
But congress could not do this because
| it is purely the states function to ar
range congressional districts. and thus
you see, there is no party advantage
! in passing the re-apportionment act
| The Democrats will get whatever ad
vantage there is to be had under the
re-apportionment, because they made
such gains in the recent election. and
the former Republican states they car
ried they can gerrymander in such a
way that they will have decidedly the
best of it in 1912"

broke into his law office and cried for
Arnie. and vowed that she had gone
up the step in front of him. Padgett
