HIGH GRADE EFFICIENCY.
Coast Artillery Company at Fort
Dade. Fla, at Target Practice.

A report of service target practice held
by the 111th Company, Coast Artillery
Corps at Fort Dade, Fla, has just been
received. which indicates a high standard
of efficiency on the part of that organ
ization in service target practice. The
practice referred to was held with S-inch
guns on disappearing carriages.
The company fired six shots from two
guns at a material target 80 feet high by
GO feet long in minutes 43 seconds. The
target. which was at a distance of about
three and half miles from the battery
firing and moving at a speed of about
five and half miles per hour, was struck
six times. the battery scoring 100 per
cent of hits This is the best record
made with S-inch guns so far reported
during the target practice year 1911.
Considering the range of the target the
rate of fire and the number of hits, this
is regarded as one of the best heavy
gun practices which has ever been held
with guns of that caliber.
The company was commanded by Capt
Adna c. Clarke, Coast Artillery Corps.
The chief of coast artillery considers
that this practice has such merit as to
warrant special commentator of the OFF,
GERS and enlisted men of the 111th Com
pany, and recommendation has been
made to the chief of staff accordingly

SECRETARY FISHERS VIEWS.
Says Railroads of Alaska Will Be
Regulated.

Special Dspatcn To ne Star.
CHICAGO, July $50 long as the
law places the railroads of Alaska un-
der the supervision of the Secretary of
the Interior" said Secretary Fisher to-
day. as he paused at the approach to
the eighteenth hole on the Onwentsia
links. you can depend upon ii they will
be regulated.
He paused to wipe an athletic drop
from his brow before adding:
Il can't seem To get excited over this
Controller Day affair. Simon Guggen-
helm came to see me in Washington
and endeavored to ascertain what the
plans of the government were with re-
gard to releasing the coal lands in

Secretary Fisher. "a railroad operating

is, the rail shall not he exclusive nor

Department has to do only with the ques-
ton of whether the pier railways inter-

evidence that his people We're entirely in

AT the present time | am Informed Of

You can rest assured that there Will
be no monopoly i'm either the coal lands

lands. That is. if Ryan or anybody else
has the money and wants to construct a
railroad from tidewater to the coal lands.
he or they will have a perfect right 10
go ahead and build It.
There is going to be no graf. no

less than an opening up of the valuable

PLAYING GOOD GOLF.
Miss Hyde Will Try for National
Championship.

NEW YORK. July S.-Miss Lillian B.
Hyde. the Metropolitan champion, has
been playing good golf on her home
course, that of the South Shore Field
Club. since she successfully defended her
title at Scarsdale. She Is aiming for the
national championship at Baltusrol in the
fall, and is anxious to meet Miss Dorothy
Campbell in the competition for the ma
tional title. The South Shore course is
too short to let Miss Hyde get all of the
benefit of her remarkable long game. but
on the other hand it affords her plenty
of opportunity to improve her short game,
which was her weakest point in the
Metropolitan tourney. If she can manage
to raise the standard of her approaching
and putting before fall she will be for
midable for the best Of them, not even
excepting Miss Campbell.

DISSATISFIED AT YALE.
Team. This Year Fell Below Expec-
tations.

NEW HAVEN, Conn.,. July s-A change
in coaching methods for the Yale base
ball team is expected to be put in opera
ton this coming spring. The losing of
the last four games Of the season, when
Yale was looked upon as having one of
the best teams in several years, made a
disastrous ending that may possibly do
away with professional coaching. The
election Of Third Baseman Richard Mer-
rift was as expected, and as there is
good material coming from this year
freshman class. together with several
players who were not put forward be-
cause they were underclassmen, first
class team should be whipped into shape
for the 1912 season.

SERIOUS STAGE
London Scientists and Anti
Viyisectionists Disagree Over
Ethical Question.

LONDON. July s.-The bitter contro-
versy which has RACED So long between
anti vivisectionists and scientists has
reached further stage through the firm
attitude Of Lord Cromer. who is presi-
dent OF tho Research Defense Society. in
declining 10 resign the vice presidency OF
the Society for the Prevention Of Cruelty
TO Animals. His holding Of office I'm the
two societies was declared inconsistent
by resolution OF a small majority at a
meeting OF the latter society.
Lord Cromer's Retort.
Lord Cromer. in reply, declared that
the magnificent results achieved by the
experimental method in the direction OF
saving the lives and preserving the health
of human beings and OF animals had been
proved conclusively. lie considered IL a
calumny 10 accuse the members OF
profession whose main work in life was
10 relieve suffering OF being indifferent to
the sufferings OF others. whether man
or brute. Facts were distorted in order
10 hold up these men To the unmeri;ed
odium of an uniformed public. During
their experiments pain WAS probably not
altogether absent. but IL was reduced TO
a minimum.
His duty and that of the Research De-
Tense Society he regarded a clearly -
offer a strenuous opposition t. any meas
ures which would retard the advance OF

COVETED TROPHY.
Gold Plate, Given by Gar, Much
Sought.

LONDON. July S.-The gold cup.
which was recently run for at Ascot. is
perhaps the most coveted trophy OF the
turf. 1t has had a rather checkered
career. partly resulting from our political
history. In 1874 Car Nicholas 1 visited
this country, and was so pleased with the
race for the cup that he asked to be al
lowed to substitute a piece of plate. A
very handsome trophy was this 'em
peror's plate being a reduced copy OF
the famous statue of Peter the Great al
st. Petersburg. ornamented with figures
OF Russian soldiers and with views OF
Windsor Castle. the Kremlin and the
winter palace. When the Crimean wal
broke out the gold cup regained the
place of honor on the program. -Four
years ago the gold cup was cleverly stolen
before the eyes of the custodians.

how the game should be played. and to

GOOD PROSPECTS.
Harvard Team Will Have Good Ma.
terial Next Season,

BOSTON, July S.-The Harvard nine
has unusually bright prospects for 1912.
1t Is felt that Coach Sexton made a re-
markedly fine showing in the past season
considering that he was unfamiliar with
his men and was lamentably weak In
pitchers. Under the circumstances he
deserves great credit for Harvard's sue
cess in the Yale series.
In 1918 Sexton will have foundation
of well tried material to work on. His
only losses will be Capt Mclaughlin,
pitcher; p A. Sexton, another pitcher,
and G.. Hahn, first baseman, from the
regulars, and r. G. Mckay, II. a. Rog-
ers, and J. P. Carr from the reserves.
Among the good new men will be Win
gate. an infielder from the freshman
squad, and Reynolds, a catcher.

mile course in most excellent condition
and fit for record breaking. If the race
takes place the local authorities and
property holders have agreed to round
off the corners and to widen a narrow
stretch. Most of the road is already oiled.
Louis Disbrow is confident that on the
proposed circuit the American road rec
ord can be broken Aside from Santa
Monica Cal, this probably is the only
course in the country where the record
can be clipped.

DROUGHT RUINS HAY CROP.
Oats Also Have Suffered in Sections
of the West.

The hay crop throughout the entire
central west has been greatly reduced
and many pastures completely dried up
by the droughts Of the spring and early
summer, according to reports received by
the Department of Agriculture. Oats
have suffered. too, and in some sections
only half crops will be produced.
To meet this situation the department
has issued circular to farmers urging
the immediate planting of emergency
crops, such as millet, cowpeas. sorghum
and soy beans to round out the shortage
of both hay and pasture. The farmers
are advised that there is still time to
plant half a dozen kinds of quick grow
ing crops.
