Than in Last War.

New York. May 23-"Scientific man.
agement" as practiced in the United
States Navy was the theme of George
Won l. Meyer. Secretary of the Navy.
last night, before the Economic club.
Secretary Meyer told how the applica-
tion of modern business and Industrial
had increased the navy's ef-
ficiency, and as measure of economy
he advocated lessening the number of
navy yards, and asked his hearers to
aid him in this project, upon which
congress thus far had failed to smile.
For the past two years within the
Navy Department" said Mr.. Meyer,
I'VE have been making study of or
ganization and the economic and scien-
tific management of the resources OF
the navy. Scientific management
experts who saw the recent battle
practice tell me the battle ship is the
finest exhibition of scientific manage
ment they have ever seen.
in 1898 the percentage of hits at
the battle of Santiago was So per
cent. Today 1t is 33 Is, although the
range has increased from 5000 yards
to over 10000 yards. The rate of fire
then was one shot in five minutes,
while today it is two shots in one
minute. A comparison of the in
creased rate of firing, the increase in
the range and the percentage of hits

today than we were at Santiago
"One of the chief causes of great

siye number of navy yards on the At
lantic Coast and Gulf of Mexico.

navy yards. where money has been
expended lavishly in some instances,

government might have obtained for

single navy yard was abolished by con

SENT TO THE CANAL
Tenth Infantry to Be Trans
ferred from State.

Washington, May 23.-The probable
ity is that the Tenth United States reg
iment OF infantry, formerly stationed
at Ft. BENJAMIN Harrison, will be sent
to Panama when the time comes for it
to see service again in the tropics.
About 100000 will soon be expened
by the United States government in
fitting up officers quarters. barracks
and other living facilities for the $500
troops which the government will send
to defend" the Panama canal
The Notifications of the canal will
not be completed for a number of
years, but the soldiers will be sent
there as soon as living quarters can
be provided. The coast artillery will,
of course, be the main reliance Of the
government in defending" the canal,
but it is proposed to keep regiment
or two of infantry in the canal zone.
Another development decided on by
the administration Is that the period
of military service In the insulad po-
session will be increased, probably
from two to three years. This depar-

manicured. formerly school teacher,
but now wealthy and retired, told a

was shattered. Soon after Miss Lynch
met him In New York last winter she
became fascinated. Finally she told
him she would pay for his education
and then marry him.
II wanted to bring Mr.. Neeld to the
standard of education to which l was
accustomed" she naively explained.
According to Miss Lych, Neeld took
umbrage at her plans. He became
cold and distant. Miss Lynch wanted
to break off their singular engage.
ment. but to this the man would not
agree. According to the testimony the
young man threatened to pour vitrol
in Miss Lynch's face. She then got
out the peace warrant. The magis.

him promise that he would leave the
city.

GRAFT INQUIRY
 TORESOME TODAY

Cincinnati, O., February 26.--Inquiry into alleged graft in Hamilton county and the city, of Cincinnati will be resumed by the grand jury tomorrow under the direction of Prosecutor Hunt.
 It had been rumored that substitute indictment will likely be returned in the case against George B. Cox, the Hamil- ton county political leader, who has been charged with perjury in an indictment upon alleged gratuiries paid by certain banks in connection with the county de- posits. The indictment if returned will be for the purpose of correcting mis- print supposed to exist as to the original document. A number of men including some former officeholders have been sum- moned to appear before the grand jury tomorrow.
 The almost fatal injury sustained by Wallace Burch, an attorney, who was run down and seriously hurt today by an automobile, adds complication to the grand jury situation. MT. Burch has been active throughout the hearing, he being the legal advised of Tilden R. French former county treasurer who has been one of the principal witnesses in the mat ters from which the Cox indictment has resulted.

 Santa Barbara, Cal, February 26-Gen- eral matters affecting the railroads, par ticularly the recent rate decision, were discussed by E.. P. Ripley, president of the Santa Fe, today.
 How will the recent decision Of the interstate commerce commission lowering freight rates affect the railroads?' was the initial question of several which drew from Mr Ripley extremely candid obser- vations.

 Kerns, accompanied by his brother Daniel and two friends, had gone to the Beeres home. where they accused Beeres of stealing corn. According to the elder Beeres, during the altercation one of the men struck him with a shovel, knocking him down. He claims that another man attacked his wife and that Burr Kerns was rushing at him when young Beeres fred

RIPLEY SAYS GOVERNMENT
 OWNERSHIP IS NOT FAR OFF

time appears to have come when the gov ernment runs the railroads, not the own CTS and directors.
 T believe he said, with a passing smile which looked very much like one of disgust, that the national and state governments are spending about s25.000, 0o0 year regulating railroads, which means reducing rates.'
 But don't you find the present admin Tlstration more sane from your viewpoint in its attitude toward railroads than the preceding one?'' was asked
 .'No," he said bluntly. Tt is more reckless. It has adopted laws more re- pressive and therefore more destructive In their tendency. The California rail road bill recently adopted places the con- trol of the railroads into the hands of a public utilities commission-an in- stance of the government usurpation of the rights of owners \ What do YOU believe will be the out '.y,ss oi ,nis che sautel Of legIslaaun?
 .Government ownership inevitably" he said with emphasis. .f1 have always be- lieved that, and events are moving rap idly in that direction
 When asked if he believed that govern ment ownership was a matter of the near future, MT. Ripley replied that he would not attempt to hazard prophecy on that score.

The bill of 1910 car ried some s53, GOO, while the present bill provides for something over $36,O0OO00, so that there has been legislation affecting our great highways and our harbors for three consecutive years This certainly establishes the precedent for an annual bill hereafter. This feature of the bill is most generally praised and I have no doubt it will be followed by successive congresses as well settled policy
 Another feature, which Is gratifying to the friends of liberal water policy. is that the present bill, together with that of 1910, which, carrying approximately s9O,O00,000, if expended promptly would give an average of S45,000. 900 year.

 ~'I swear in my sacredotal charac acter that you are about to condemn those who are innocent. I know the real miuderers, but I cannot reveal their names as they came to me with the seal of the confession."
