of very successful battle practice in re-

fotilla of torpedo boats of a supposed
enemy, the sixteen battleships of the
American Atlantic fleet today are swing
ing lazily at anchor. giving the officers
and men a rest for the day in order to

While both officers and men were dis

frame of mind today because of the pos

work, and he hopes that all the vessels
will have concluded their firing by FRI

Steaming in division formation, the bat
tleships suddenly broke out all their
searchlights. The powerful rays swept

PROPOSED EXTENSION
OF RECITATION PERIOD
Question Affecting the Wash
ington High Schools Before
Board of Education.

To discuss the question of whether or
not the hours for recitation in the high
schools should be extended from 2 pm
until 2:3O p.m., Capt. Oyster, as chairman
of the committee on high, normal and
manual training schools, has called a
meeting for this afternoon at o clock, at
which the superintendent and assistant
superintendent Of schools will be present.
Because of many reasons the high
school principals have found already that
they will have trouble in crowding all
their classes into the allotted space OF time
between am. and pm.

Barnes. jr., of Albany last night made
this statement on the conference between
President Taft and Col Roosevelt:
1.-The mere fact that Mr.. Roosevelt
thought it necessary to go to New
Haven to see the President indicates that
he was looking for the support of the
highest executive official in the nation in
the endeavor Of him and his friends to
commit the republican party of New
York to his olicies. The question of
the Endorsement of the party for 1912 is
highly important to Mr.. Roosevelt 1t
Is not to anybody else. No amount of
decentralization can becloud the real issue,
