THE TARTAR
OF the Navy"
SperTy Was One Of Its Most
Efficient Officers
Pneumonia CAUSES HIS DEATH

Admiral who Commanded World
Cruise Of United States Fleet Recog-
nized as Brilliant strategist and Au-
thority on International Law and Its
Usages-Ahout to Begin important
Task When Taken Sick
Washington, Feb. 2.-Rear Ad-
miral Charles S. Sperry, retired,
who successfully piloted the United
States fleet around the world in 1908
%, died at the Naval medical school
hospital here of pneumonia.
Admiral Sperry arrived in Washing
ton last Friday from his home in New
port, R. l., for special duty in the
state department incident to his rep
resentatiOn of the United States at the
conference Of the naval powers of the
world, held in London, in the early
part of 1909 He was taken i'll short
ly after his arrival.
Admiral Sperry was 63 years of age,
having been born at Brooklyn Sept, 3,
1877, entering the navy in 1862. He
reached the rank of rear admiral in
1906 and retired on attaining the age
of 62 in 1909
Read Admiral Sperry had been as
signed to duty at Newport on several
occasions, and was at one time presi-
dent of the naval war college. Since
10
in Newport. He is survived by
widow and one SON.
Sperry was said to be the best in
formed officer in the navy on ques-
tons of international law, and be-
cause of his knowledge of information
al law he represented the United
States navy at one Of The Hague con-
ferences.
The death of Sperry was blow to
the state department, which had
counted much upon his assistance in
perfecting a translation of what is
known as the declaration of London.
The agreement of the London con-
ference was dawn up in French 1t
sets forth the various principles Of
maritime law to be applied by the
prize court at The Hague.
Both Great Britain and the United
States have translated the document,
but there are discrepancies in i'm
portant particulars in the two transla-
tons. Sperry had been summoned to
Washington for the purpose of recon-
Cling the differences before the docu-
ment is submitted to the United States
senate
Admiral Sperry has been called the
Tartar of the Navy" Nor is there
any doubt about his having been a
stickler for the best form in naval af-
fairs. At Annapolis and at Newport
he was strict instructor, keen ta
read the characters of those who were
under his instructions and merciless
with the wOuldbe shirker But the
boy or man who was anxious to ad-
vance, who really wanted to learn
ever found in him a wealth of friendly
assistance. He was a square man.
His sailors loved him. Men WAC
served under him always speak of hin
in the highest terms. They never ex-
pected him to crack jokes, but they
liked the way he ran his ship. AnC
they more than once found that he hat
a very human side.
When he left in 1909 the active lis
of the navy, the service lost one o
its most efficient officers, for he wa:
a recognized authority on tactics anC
a brilliant strategist

BRISTOW In DEPEW'SWAY
Amendment Protecting Small Porto
Rican Planters Missed.

Washington, Feb 10.-An attempt by
Depew to call up the Porto Rican bill in
the senate Thursday afternoon was de-
feated by Senator Bristow, who intimated
that the amendments incorporated in the
senate committee would have to be ex-
planned. The bill as passed by the house
contained a provision limiting the amount
of land that could be acquired by COR
porations interested in sugar production
to five thousand acres This was incor-
porated by Madison of Kansas. but when
the bill was reported to the senate by
DepeW it was stricken out.
Depew had made motion to consider
the bill over Bristow's objection, when
Senator Smoot hurried to the New York
senator's side for a whispered conference
When it was over Depew had changed his
mind and withdrew his motion.
Senator BriStoWs way of blocking bills
that contain provisions he does not like
is becoming very annoying to senators
interested in pushing these measures.
Wednesday Bristow held up Senator Hey
burns bill to codfy the federal laws and
had struck out of it two amendments of
fered by Senator Piles increasing the pay
of United States judges. Mr.. Bristow
said he had been assured the bill con-
tanned no new legislation and insisted
that the amendments go out.

Cement Pouring.
PUSH PILE DRIVING.
Hope to Complete This Work in
Week.
Other Items of Interest on the
North Side.

A woman and little boy, as much
interested as the men, were in the
crowd that watched the operations at
the Melan bridge extension this
morning. 1t is said that women often
stand on the west side of the abutment
pit and watch the work along with
interested men.
The sheeting has been laid for the
north arch of the bridge. over 5000
feet of shiplap was used for this pur-
pose The form work for the arch
contains over 5000 SKIS timbers. The
arch when completed will be IS feet
wide and 35 feet of roadway.
The next step will be to erect the
side walls and put in the steel REIN
forcing Then the cement will be
poured.
About $50 cubic yards of cement
will be used in the arch proper. me
same amount will be used in the souCa
abutment arch which is the same d.
mension as the north arch. And in the
south abutment foundation pit 500
cubic yards of cement will be used
for foundation
All but thirty of the piling for this
foundation have been driven. 1t is
hoped that this work will be finished
within a week, but at present the
workmen are meeting with what is
called hard driving"
Meanwhile, at almost any hour OF
the working day throngs of people
line the west side of the work and
watch proceedings.
