CHANGE NAVY YARDS SYSTEM
Secretary Meyer Will Import One in
Use BY the British.

Washington.-Casting aside all scien-
tiic system of navy yard management
advocated in this country because he
believed they involved too much detail
and required serious changes in the
civil service rules of employment, Sec
rotary of the Navy Meyer will import
from England the system of manage
ment used by Vickers Limited at the
Barrow-in -Furniss ship, engine and
ordnance works. This was officially
announced. The Norfolk navy yard
will be the first to feel the change
The new system provides for the cen
tralization of work and allows the com
mandant of yard to know just what
is being done on a particular job with
out having to seek information from
those having the work under their
charge. 1t affords central planning and
routing and the elimination of defects.
Mr.. Meyer says that with the new sys-
TEN he has not in contemplation any
changes in organization. Captains A.
B. Williams and E. Thesis, U. S. N,
have been sent to England to study the
details of the Vickers system. They
will be gone about a month.

TAFT TRAIN is MAGNIFICENT.
Trip Costs $35, 000-Are % Men in
Party-Newspaper Men Pay
own Expenses.

The presidents special is one of the
finest trains ever sent west. 1t is
Pullman equipment, but belongs to the
New York Central & Hudson River
Railroad company. 1t consists of the
president 8 private car, two 1O-com-
partment drawing room sleepers, a
diner, day coach and baggage car.
The train left Boston on September
Is and will return to Washington, D.
c., on November 1. During that time
it will have Travelled 12,961 miles, of
which 97s miles will be over the North
eFn Pacific, 349 miles over the Oregon
Washington Railroad s. Navigation
company's lines, 1909 miles over the
Oregon Short Line and 236 miles of the
Great Northern railroad.
The newspaper men and others pres
ent pay the regular fare and pay their
own expenses, which materially re-
duecs the cost of the trip to the presi-
dent. The, total cost of the tour was
originally estimated at 49,, 900, but
Charles E. Colony of the Boston &
Albany road, who has personal charge
of the train, believes that this NAV
be reduced to $4,000. The president
is allowed $4,000 per year for travel
ing expenses, so that the cost of this
trip to him will use up more than one
year IS allowance.
There are % people in the presiden-
tial party, including nine newspaper
men, who are making the entire trip.
A number of newspapers have had
correspondents with the train, but the
nine have been with it from the start
and will be with it to the finish.

Tacoma, Wash.-Thej beautiful home
of Horace G. Scott, near wapata lake,
in the southern part of the city, was

FLOOD in WISCONSIN
GREAT DAMAGE AT BLACK
RIVER FALLS AND MANY
OTHER PLACES.
Many Families Homeless and Property
Loss Estimated at $1,000, 900 at Black
River Fans-Another Dam Gave
Away at Wausau, Doing Great
Damage-Water Highest on Record.

Lacrosse, Wis.-Fifteen families ARE
homeless, a property loss of 81, 200, 900
has been wrought and the city of Black
River Falls is laboring under the dis
tressing handicap of the loss of ats
business district as the result of floods.
This summarizes the situation in
Black River Falls, disclosed at the end
of an exhaustive canvass.
Leading citizens say they are now
able to cope with the situation without
outside assistance, although they are
accepting gratefully all proffers of
help.
A serious problem is lack of stores
and loss of stock and provisions. Only
one grocery remains. Meat and gro
ceries will have to be shipped in for
the present to supply the population.
In many cases lots, as well as build
ings, have been destroyed, the land
being carried off by the river
The defective construction of the
power plant at Black River Falls is
held by engineers to be partly re-
sponsible for the disaster.
Whatever trouble from now on the
flood causes will be at Lacrosse and
the villages of the low lands north.
The Black and Mississippi rivers are
both rising rapidly.
Another Dam Goes.
Wausau, Wis.-The water of Lake
Wausau broke through the embank-
ments of both ends of the Rothschild
dam CARVING away TONS Of aartb on5
doing damage amounting to several
thousand dollars. Dynamite blasting
was resorted to at the west end for a
greater channel to draw away the
water from the east end. where it is
flowing in the streets, for fear it will
undermine several costly buildings.
The government river gage in this
city shows that the Wisconsin river
has reached eight and one-half feet
of the record of 1881, the highest so
far known. The water, however, has
been receding.
Train service on the Chicago, Mil
waukee & st. Paul road on this division
is at a standstill.
Reports from Granite Heights, eight
miles north, is that two or three miles
of track are under water.
Residents of Melrose, IS miles north
of here on the Black river, found the
river had risen 20 feet during the night.
The town is cut off from outside com
munication, but it is situated on high
ground and the danger of being de-
stroyed is not great.

J. w. Cookery Breaks Ribs.

Baker, ORE. w. Cookery of
Walla Walla, elected president of the

at a recent convention in Atlantic City,
while on his way home, was seriously
injured on a passenger train east of
this city. Falling over suitcase in
the aisle of the Pullman, he was thrown
against seat and several ribs were
broken, one puncturing his left lung,
causing hemorrhages which REQUIRED
frequently. He is in a serious and
dangerous condition.

CORNELIUS BLISS is DEAD
Long Prominent in National and New
York Politics.

LUX
New YOrk.-Cornelius Newton Bliss
for years one of the leading figures in
national republican politics, and well
known as merchant and a member of
the dry goods firm of Bliss, Fabyan &
Co., died here Tuesday of heart failure.
The end was not unexpected, as Mr..
Bliss had been i'll for a year, and his
family had noted for some time that he
was fast failing. Mr.. Bliss was rs
years old, having been born in Fall
River, Mass, in 1888.
The death of Mr. Bliss removes from
the political field of this country an
other of the eoterie of republican lead
ers who have been in the forefront of
the party's affairs for a generation or
more. He was treasurer of the repub-
lican national committee from 1892 to
1908, and prior to that had been chair
man of the New York state republican
committee. He twice refused to be-
come candidate for governor of New
York, but following the national cam
paign in 1896, in which William Me
Kinley was elected president, he be-
came secretary of the interior in the
Mckinley cabinet. Twice he refused
the mayoralty nomination of New
York
