NEW ORDERS GIVE
LOCATION Of THE
VESSELS
SEVENTEEN BATTLESHIPS WILL
BE LOCATED ON THE EASTERN
COAsT-LocATiON OF EVERY
VESSEL IN ATLANTIC FLEET.

Washington, April 27--The Navy
Department has Just perfected plans
iol sweeping reorganization of the
Atlantic fleet. which will take effect
in May and June. when the ships
make their annual visit to the navy
yards for overhauling. This will be
the last occasion on which the fleet
aa whole will he dispersed to their
nome yards, except for periodic dock
ing. Vessels requiring repairs sssal
the capacity of their crews will go to
the divisional home yard one at a
time.
In July, 1911. by the addition of the
Florida and Utah and the completion
of repairs uron several other ships,
the Atlantic fleet will be increased to
twenty-One battleships in full COM
missi ii, making it practicable to keep
seventeen always actively employed
the remaining four being at the home
yards under repairs.
The new order designates the home
Port of each ship of the navy, the gen
eral idea being that the heaviest shall
! lie based at New York or Norfolk
owing to the superior docking facil
tiles. The four battleship divisions
are assigned to New York, Norfolk
Philadelphia and Boston, while the ar
mored, cruiser divisions will make its
base at Portsmouth,
A reserve fleet will be organized
with the Iowa Indiana and Massa
chasetts as a nucleus. ard the Wis
consin and Kearsage classes will be
added later. Ships in reserve will
have at least a third of full crew
and it is hoped that BY 1911 each bat
tleship in reserve may have at least
$50 men, insuring the vessels readi
ness for service upon twenty-fouI
hours notice The reserve feet will
be tased al Philadelphia, except the
torpedo vessels in reserve. which will
be placed at Charleston.
With the exception of six or seven
gunbCats necessary for police and sur
vcy work, vessels Of little or no mill
tary value will be placed out cf com
mission as soon as possible.

lyENS AND SON
OCCUPY CELLS IN
The GLYNN JAIL
TWO MEN WERE BROUGHT TO
THIS CITY FROM JESUP
YESTERDAY.
Shook Hands With a Few Friends
at the Depot and Were Then Locked
in Murderer's Cells in the New
County Jail.

W. B. Lyens a.-d his son, Archie
Lyons, the formel uu one Time Sler-
Al OF Wayne county and the latter
Il deputy, are occupying two murder
ers' cells in the new Glynn county
jail, and will be kept there until they
are tried in this county next June
charged with the murder cf young
Fleming Smith at Jesup.
These two prisoners arrived i'll
Brunswick yesterday afternoon over
the Southern at 5:45 ard, as their
coming was not generally known, only
q few citizens stood about the depot
to get a glimpse of the two men who
are charged with one of the most
atrociOIS murders in the history OF
this section of the state. The pris-
oners were i'll charge of Sheriff JOS
eph H. Lee and Deputy Sheriff R. H.
Madray They were met at the union
depot by Deputy Sheriff R. S. Piles
and escorted to the Glynn ocunty
Jail, where preparations had been
made for the two prisoners.
Several Brunswick people who
knew the elder Lyons, spoke to him as
he stepped from the train, and he
was very ccrdial in his hand-Shake.
When he was sheriff of Wayne coun-
,ty he visited Brunswick often and is
we'll known in the city. The younger
Lyens, however, had but little to say
to those who spoke to him, and seem
ed more distressed over the predica
.ment that he is in than did his father.
After spending a minute or two
talking to those around them, the two
prisoners. father and son, handcuffed
.tocether, were marched to the cCun-
.ty Jail. Though they are charged
with a most heinous crime and gen
Jaral sentiment seems to be against
them, those about the depot coIld not
but see little pathoas in the sad al
fair. when they remembered that botn
father and son had left in Jesup a
wife and children who are the real
sufferers and some little sympathy did
go out to the two men anu their fami'
lies.
Quietly the two Wayne county Of
fcers, the local deputy sheriff and the
prisoners marched to Jail, and but
few people saw them en- route or real
lied who they were.
Neither LyenS or his son looked
any the worse for their being con
finement in the Savannah Jail, where
they have been for almost eighteen
months. Both prisoners were very
we'll dressed, the father wearing the
same style of a large slouch black hat
that he did when he was shelrltf or
Wayne county. They had both been
freshly shaved, wore neat clothes, and
really did not lCok the criminals that
many think they are. They both
seemed pleased to come to Bruins
wick and were really glad that they
had been transferred from Savannah
to this city.
The two prisoners will occupy muir
derers' cells in the new jail until
their trial. bat they will be given
good service. Sheriff Berrie had
much business with the 'eX-sherl1t
during his incumbency, and they had
always been the best of friends.
1t is understood that the wives OF
the two men, together with other rel
atiyes, will visit them as frequently
as possible while they are confined
in the local Jail.
