NAVAL MILITIA To
Do PRACTICE WORK
Annual Cruise Will Afford Pros
pective Sea Fighters Chance
for Drill.
BY Leased Wire to The Tribune.


WASHINGTON, July 23.-The an
nual cruise of the naval militia-the ma
val reserve-will start tomorrow from
Gardeners bay, and during the balance
of this month and August. maneuvcrs
will be held along the Atlantic coast
and upon the great lakes.
The naval reserve was organized
twenty years ago in Boston by former
United States Naval Officer Lieuten-
ant John G. Soley, 1t was not until
the Spanish-American trouble in 1898,
however. that the naval militia was or.
ganized and put upon n practical basis.
At present there is II naval reserve
force upon the Atlantic and Pacific
coasts and great lakes numbering 5000
men and officers. representing twenty
one states. with a complement enough
to man over a score of ships. Within
the past few years, under the direction
of Commander Charles G.. Marsh, u. S,
N, as chief of the bureau of naval
militia, the several divisions have be-
come very strong and efficient.
Tomorrow five of tho larger craft
(mainly converted seagolng yachts
will assemble in Gardner's bay with
the old flagship Chicago, manned by
the Massachusetts reserves, as the flag
ship of the little squadron, From the
Massachusetts coast, the cruise will be
made to Fortress Monroe, Va. where
the United States naval general board
of inspection will inspect the squadron.

Objections to the Proposed ton of the High School
the Camped and Inadequate Proposed by Board

To the Editor;-The Salt Lake City
high school should not be located at the
Twelfth ward site because;
First-The area is not sufficient even
with the addition OF 10 by 20 rods on the
east and a strip leading to Second South
street.
The building must be at least BOG feet
frontage and the depth at the ends 300
feet also. This would bring the side
walls within fifteen feet OF adjoining
property and If the building is set back
come within ten feet Of pack yalds and
outbuildlngs OF neighbors on the south.
AS the site determined upon Is In the
apartment district and Will surely become
the future 1t is prudent to consider the
effect OF four story buildings hereafter
to be erected on each side. The only
answer to this intolerable proposition is
posed 10 by 20 rods. Our present 10 by 20

chase involves cost OF s35, 900. totaling
$40, 900 for the above inadequate area
means another S35, 900. which brings the
cost to Sl05.000, and we must then buy
property to the south If we would have

people consent to high school site which
will even then be inadequate and repre-
sent a valuation of sl50.oO0?

posed the new nigh school is condemned
TO be a second -rater and back-number

Second-The location Is unjust, When
erected, both high schools Will! be In the
north section of the city. within a short
distance of the north limits. while the
present center OF east side school popu-
lation is near Sixth South and the city
extends q full hours walk south OF that.
There are serious objections TO a third
school to be built in the future to rem
edy the threatened injustice to the south
half OF the city. The high salaries OF
the system are paid to principals and
heads OF departments. and 1t Is far bet
ter TO have very large high schools un-
der single supervision than several
schools with the highest salaries multi
piled by three or four. High schools
should be three miles apart at least.

Entire Surplus of Fidelity Trust
Company of Louisville,
Kentucky, Stolen.
ASSISTANT SECRETARY
CHARGED WITH THEFT
Held in Jail Pending Further
Investigation of Accounts
by Experts.
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
LOUISVILLE, July 23.-John w
Barr, president of the Fidelity Trust
company, admitted late this afternoon
that the entire surplus of the company,
81 100000, had been stolen. This is
supposed to represent the shortage of
Assistant Secretary Ropke, now in Jail
here.
August Ropke was the assistant sec
retary and general bookkeeper of the
Fidelity Trust company, regarded as one
of the soundest financial concerns IN
Louisville and believed to have been
the first trust company organized west
of Pittsburg. He had been in the EN-.
ploy of the concern for eighteen years.
About two weeks ago shortage Of
$4,000 was accidentally discovered by
one of Ropke s assistants and the mat
ter reported to his superiors. This re-
suited in Ropke g arrest and his incnr-
ceration on the charge of embeZzlement.
He was sent to Jail in default of $780,
600 bail, and accountants put to work
on his books.
The shortage grew daily until it
reached tho stupendous amount reported
today at special meeting of stock
holders, held late this afternoon. Some
of Ropke s property has been recovered
and turned over TO the bank The FL
deity Trust company recently issued
81 100000 stock to make good the loss.
Lost in Wall Street.
Ropke was 4 heavy specmlator and
lost large sums it is said in Wall street
and on the Chicago board Of trade. Mr..
Barr s announcement was made after n
special meeting of the stockholders. Mr..
Barr said the stockholders had been
told that the entire capital stock of the
concern was intact, but that the surplus
was gone. The loss through this defal-
cation will be met by an issue of stock,
aggregating $l,000,000, which will be is
sued to stockholders at par. The stock
holders have already agreed, it is un-
derstood, to subscribe the full amount
of the new issue.
August Ropko is a German, about 45
years old. He is n man of family and
has always enjoyed the unboundcd con-
fidence of his business associates. Hc
lived unostentatiously and INDUCED in
only one luxury, as far as his friends
knew, and that was an automobile.
The craze for speculation reached
him. however, and he began dabbling in
stocks and grain several years ago. He
was successful for time, but losses fol-
lowed. and he tried to recoup. One
year he is reported to have made $780,
900, only to lose IL month or so later

bank for eighteen wears

emily it was not long after that she

the Florida coast.
The latest report said that all her
passengers had been transferred. Gen
Grad Manager Younghan Of the New
York office of the Morgan line, said
that the Momus had seventy-eight first
class passengers and five second cabin.
The captain is j. S. Boyd.
''We know nothing directly said
Mr.. Younghan, "as to the cause Of the
fire. but / know that the cargo in the
afterhold was made up of bales of pa
per and bags packed in by hydraulic
pressure, and it is entirely possible that
needless passenger may have thrown
burning cigar or cigarette through q
ventilator and thus started the fire.
The. ship lies thirty miles north of Cape
Jupiter and the weather is calm.
"There is every chance of saving
her, and If she is not saved, at least,
you may be sure there will be no loss
of life. The Comus is there TO sec to
that There are eighty-two passengers
on board.'
Among the passengers are Mr.. and
Mrs. S, c. Runnion of Long Beach. Cal.
