When Argentina decided to build
two dreadnaughts, bids were asked
from the whole world. The bidding
was finally narrowed down to the
English, German and American bids
in the latter of which Charles M.
Schwabs steel works were greatly
interested. Secretary Knox was for

and by pledging the secrets of the
American navy it is asserted, turned
the scales in favor of the United
States bidders and the contracts
came to this country.
All requests to Secretary Knox to
explain the transaction have been
met with a note saying the secre-

against granting the franchise if the
road was to be operated by steam, as
this, it was contended, would injure
the residence portion and also Mar
ion Square. Councilman White moved
to limit the time of the use of steam
to two years and this brought about
general discussion of the question
After members of the council had
voiced their sentiments, and property
owners had also been heard from,
Councilman Lafky moved to amend
so as to make the limit 10 years, but
upon final vote, it was lost. After
wards he endeavored to have a sec
ton inserted making the limit 20
years but that was also lost
When the final vote was taken,
four councilmen voted against the
ordinance = Councilmen Eldridge,

SHOWED SKILL
AS PICKPOCKET

Viterbo, July l4.-Capt. FArbroni to-
day told the jury trying the Camor-
rists here of the investigation made by
Marshal Farris at the home of Maria
Stendaro where, the witness said, a
meeting was held to plan the murder
of Gennaro Cuoccolo and his wife.
Maria Stendaro is the common law
wife of Nicola Mora, who is accused of
being one of the actual assassins. She
is tile only woman among the prison
ers, with whom she is alleged to have
had great influence.
The witness said that following the
murder of the Cuoccolos the woman
returned to her home carrying stolen
goods.
Capt Farbroni related an episode in
connection with the arrest of Antonio
Parlatti. who was later released. Par
latti, wishing to prove that by profess
sion he was thief rather than MUIR
derer, offered to show his skill, which
male it necessary for him to take hu-
man life in his operations. He laid a
wager with the officers that he could
rob Marshal Farris in the presence of
Farbroni. Farris laughed at the boast,
but ten minutes later, although his
tunic was buttoned, discovered that
his pocket book and cigarette case had

ALLEN APPOINTED
CHANCELLOR OF II
INDEPENDENT DEMOCRAT
Raulston, Choice of Sanders Men,
Turned Down-Action Comes
as a Great Surprise.

Nashville, July 14.-Gov Hooper's
action in appointing the Hon. VaIen.
tine q. Allen, of Dayton, an independ.
ent democrat, as chancellor of the new
Twelfth chancery division, turning
down the Hon. John T. Raulston, OF
South Pittsburg, an active republican,
caused the greatest surprise here, and
is believed to have caused much dissat-
isfaction in the Sanders division of the
republican party.
Such men as Newell Sanders, Robert
s. Sharp and Postmaster Scott Rauls-
ton, of Chattanooga, leaders in the San
derS machine, are known to have pull
ed every possible wire to accomplish
the appointment of John 7. Raulston,
and they were sure that he would be
appointed, that they had passed the
matter up and were resting on their
arms, secure in the thought that the
governor would not offend so many
powerful interests in his own party.
Ihe governor announced the appoint
ment of Mr.. Allen yesterday.
Mr.. Allen served as private in the
Confederate army in "Vaughn suThird
Tennessee infantry. Judge Allen has
lived in Rhea county since he was one
year old. His father was native of
Bedford county, and his mother of
Rhea county, but the judge was born
in Mississippi during the temporary
absence of his parents from Tennessee.
Judge Allen is 68 years old, and has
been practicing law in Rhea and ad-
joining counties since 1867. He is an
independent democrat and supported
the independent judiciary tick in Aug
ust and Gov, Hooper in November last.
The next div ision in which Judge
Allen will serve was created by act of
the recent legislative session, Judge
Mcconnell being given Hamilton
county alone, and the remaining five
counties forming the division. The
counties composing the new division
are Polk, Bradley, James, McMinn,
Meigs, Marion, Franklin, Coffee, Grun-
dy, Warren and Van Buren,.
This division is democratic by about
fifteen hundred to two thousand ma
jority, and would hardly have been
created by the recent Legislature had
not the regular democrats believed they
could carry it next August. In this
connection, it is said, the regulars were
very much averse to the appointment
of Judge Allen, although they like and
respect him personally, 1t is believed
Gov. Hooper thought that republican
probably could not be elected next Au-
gust and that Judge Allen could.
When questioned in regard to the
appointment Coy. Hooper merely re-
marked:
"Judge Allen rs fine type of lawyer
and citizen, and will please the bar
and the people,

BOTH ANNIVERSARY
OF ASSASSINATION
NO BOQUET FOR STATUE
DIR. d. S. Lamb, Who Attended
the President, Says Modern
Surgery Would Save.

Washington July Thirty years
ago today Washington and the entire
world was thrown into state
of wild excitement by the shooting Of
President James Abraham Garfield
His death brought condolences from
every country and saddened hearls Of
every American, but today, less than
third of century since, his ilustri-
Gus life has been so far forgotten that
neither flag nor tiny boquet of flow
ers was placed on his statue in front of
the capitol, only few blocks from
where he fell.
To those who were in Washington on
July 2, 1881, recur stories of Garfield,
arm in arm with the secretary of state,
james G. Blaine, entering the old Bal
timore and Potomac depot from the j
street side, there to be met by the as
sassin, Charles Jules Guiteau.
Only few of the personal friends of
Garfield who participated in the wild
excitement of that day and waited with
intense interest in the vain hope that
he might live, are alive. Of the doctors
who attended the president during the
eighty days he fingered between life
and death and were present at the au-
topsy performed at Elberon, N. j., on.
ly one is alive-Dr. ID. S. Lamb, 2l14
Eighteenth street, Northwest, who has
been connected with the army medical
school since 1868.
According to statement made by
DR.. Lamb today, the wound which
President Garfield received might not
prove fatal under present day methods
of medical treatment. Advance in sur
gerry and medical science has been so
marked in the last three decades that
DR.. Lamb, who located the bullet and
did ali the surgical work at the autop.
sy, is inclined to believe that an injury
such as the president received might
not now result in death.
"The wound would be treated differ
emily today" said DR.. Lamb. "At
that time aseptic treatment was un-
known. The wound was not given an
antiseptic wash. 1t was just q few
years later that the antiseptic was per-
fected and came into general use.u
DIR. Lamb explained that the assas-
sins bullet passed clear through the
spinal column, but did not touch the
cord. The bullet entered from the
back. In going through the column
it spent its force and lodged just be-
yond the ribs.
DR.. Lamb is confident President
Garfield received the best medical
treatment it was possible to give him
at that time, but the chronology of his
life contains many clippings from
newspapers criticising the doctors
who attended him.
