Recommends Short Ballot - Scores
Y. S. Senate Again for Lorimer's
Whitewash Vote.

Los angeles, March 23.-Colonel
Theodore Roosevelt aroused an audi
ence of 1000 citizens at Temple audi
torium today to high pitch of enthus-
iasm and called forth from them thun-
derous rounds of applause at his en-
phatic and unqualified declarations on
four propositions.
He commended the people of Cali
fornia for their progressive govern
ment, saying that it approximated his
government ideals.
He endorsed the proposed constitu-
tional amendment providing for the
recall of the judiciary of California on
the ground that in view of conditions
in this state, there was no other alter
native to assure justice and fair deal
ing by the courts, from the standpoint
of the people.
He denounced the United States
senate for it's vote in the seating of
Senator Lorimer and declared that
the California state assembly in vot-
ing criticism of the United States
senate for its retention of Lorimer,
had Shown itself more sensitive to
the honor of the United States senate
than the United States senate itself.
He Strongly indorsed the move for
shorter ballot, which he said was a
move of first Importance in the inter-
est of popular government.
In closing. he warned the people of
the state that they were bearing grave
responsibilities in leading the move
for greater popular government, and
earnestly enjoined them to use their
power with wisdom and discretion.
The ex-president's attack on the
senate and his implied criticism of the
courts of California, which is indicat-
ed in his language justifying the
were received by the audience with
vigorous approval.

SHELLS SINK RATTLEsHlp.
Antiquated Monster Destroyed BY
More Modern Sisters,

On Board Torpedo Boat Stringham,
Lower Chesapeake Bay, March 22.-
Shattered by storm Of shell, the old
battleship Texas, now the San Marcos,
rests tonight in the mud of Tangier
sound. The veteran of the United
States navy sank under the spectacu-
lar Workmanship of her newer sis
ters.
Gaping holes in her port side and
two jagged wounds in her forward
armor where shells passed completely
through her, showed how she sue
cumbed. Part of both her fighting
masts were shot away and her deck
was mass of debris.
The broadsides delivered by the
battleship New Hampshire at varying
distances of six to seven and one-half
miles were considered remarkable by
ordnance officers. More than one
third of the shots were said to have
gone through, although nothing official
was given out.
A half hour after the sun had risen
the first shot was fired. This was fol-
lowed by another, but both were
merely to determine the range. Then
began beautiful exhibition of marks
manship. A salvo directed near the
stern of the Texas raised huge col
umns of water and deluged the vessel,
leaving her unscathed.
Then, to show the control Of the IL
and S-inch guns, another hail of shells
was dropped into the water immedia-
tely in front of the ship. The miss
was Intentional, but the shells came
so close as to give rise at first to the
belief that the first hit had been made.
The shooting then began in earnest.
The New Hampshire, followed by
the battleship Mississippi $50 yards in
her wake, drew off approximately sew
en- and one-half miles and began firing
All of the broadsides were delivered
against the Texas while the attacking
vessel was steaming back and forth
along the line at ten-knot speed.
After the seventh broadside the
Texas plainly was in distress. Two
naval tugs that lay alongside the mon
itor Tallahassee, on which were sta
toned the naval observers, raced to
her assistance. The shells presumably
had set the vessel afire, for the hose
was run over the sides and the engines
were set to work pumping. She also
had been driven out of broadside range
by the force of the New Hampshire's
shells, and the tugs Strengthened her
out for her further ordeal.
Twice afterward shells set the hulk
afire.
What was practically the finishing
blow came with the 10Th broadside,
when four of the 12-inch and four
8-inch shells were hurled at her just
as the sun was setting The shots
poured so thick around her that it was
to determine how many of
the eight struck the vessel.

Regret is Expressed.

Washington = The publicity which
attended the search of the baggage of
Mrs. Joseph w. Hull and her daugh-
ter, of Savannah, Ca, on board the
steamer Lusitania by custom officials
at New York on March II and the
criticism of the action of the custom
officers was the cause of an official
statement made by the treasury de-
partment.
The department was advised, the
statement says, that some member
or members of the party would at
tempt to pass certain personal effects
through the custom house without pay
ment of duty, and consequently direc-
tions were given for the careful exam
ination of the baggage. "
THE examination disclosed the fact
that there had been omitted from
their declarations more than 5000
worth of dutiable merchandise. In
accordance with the law applicable in
such cases, a list of the undeclared
articles was made and forfeiture will
be completed.
''The department, however, has not
deemed it necessary to report the
facts to the United States attorney
for his action, in view of the disagree
able notoriety to which the women in
question have been already subjected.
ut has no comment to make on the
searching of the party by the inspect
ors except to regret that the facts
were made public"

COLLEGE WEDDINGS HAPPY.
Higher Education Proposed by DR..
Wheeler as Divorce Cure.

San Francisco - Co-education in
American universities is conducive to
the highest and most ideal marriages,
according to Benjamin Ide Wheeler,
president of the University of Califor-
MIA.
DR.. Wheeler, who bases his conten-
tion on long observations and statisti-
cal data, provides new solution for
the perplexing divorce problem.
Give higher education to young men
and women before they marry and the
number of divorces are diminished to
the minimum.
Marriages made in college have
proved happier than those made else
where" says the head of the state
university. "The value of co-educa-
tion is steadily becoming more appar-
ent. The education of the sexes to-
gether ensures mutual respect and
self-respect.

TROOPS ASSEMBLE QUICKLY
Movement to Mexican Border Com
pIeted in Ten DAYS.

Washington - The general staff is
proud of the degree of success at
tained in the effort to mobilize an
army division in Texas, and have made
public the facts, as gathered by the
army inspectors, on which the record
was made.
Instead of occupying go days, as
had been predicted in some quarters,
the entire movement was completed
in ten days. Within 18 hours after
orders were received on March 6, the
Tenth infantry was entrained at Fort
Benjamin Harrison, Idniana. The
Fourth field artillery was the last to
board the cars at Fort d. A. Russell,
Wyoming, but that was because of
the inability of the railroads to get
coaches to that point promptly.
The Seventeenth infantry, from
Fort Mcpherson, Ca, was the first or
ganization to reach San Antonio, and
it was in camp, under canvas, three
and a half days after orders. The
troops from Fort Myer, Va, had the
greatest distance to travel, 1715 miles,
and they averaged rs miles an hour.

luton, were hastily dispatched to stop
the battle, and succeeded in separating

POSTAL SERVICE VICTOR.
Sunday Work to3Be Discontinued as
Consistent, Says Hitchcock.

Washington Sunday work in post
Offices throughout the country is to be
discontinued SO far as consistent with
rapid transmission Of the mails.
1t is not proposed to close important
postoffices entirely. Certain work to
prevent congestion and delay must be
done. Mails will be received and dis
patched as heretofore, and arrange
ments will be made for a limited de-
livery through the general delivery
windows.
Special delivery letters will be de-
livered and patrons of any Office will be
afforded the privilege of having their
mail delivered on Sunday by deposit
ing the required fee for special de-
livery service.
Postmaster General Hitchcock has
issued instructions designed to carry
into effect these ideas and to afford
employees of the Postal service one
days rest in seven.

Taft Will Do Nothing Till He Learns
Arbitration Sentiment.

Washington - Conversations refer
red to in Paris dispatch are among
many which President Taft has had
with representatives Of foreign pow
ers, as result of his speech last De-
cember at the banquet of the Ameri-
can society for the judicial settlement
of international disputes. The presi-
dent then announced himself as in ia
vor of arbitration.
No definite arrangements have been
made to draft treaty with France or
with Great Britain, as the president
will not move until he is apprised of
the probable reception of such meas
ures by the senate.
1t is considered here not improbable
that arbitration arrangements between
the United States and France may be
in progress simultaneously with those
between the United States and Great
