HARRY FAIRcHILD DIES
Active Chairman of State Public Ser
vice Commission.

Olympia, Wash.-Harry A. Fairchiid,
chairman of the Washington public ser.
vice commission, is dead at his resi-
dence here of apoplexy. For weeks he
had been working night and day on i'm
portant matters before the commission,
and week ago Saturday collapsed at
his desk. He recovered after a few
hours and resumed his duties. Sunday
morning he complained of severe pain,
and before doctor could be summoned
he became unconscious.
Mr.. Fairchild was prominent attor-
ney, when in 1905 he was appointed
chairman of the newly created state
railroad commission. He individually
is credited with many accomplishments
of that commission, which in its physi-
cal valuation of railroad properties
and other progressive measures is con-
sidered one of the best in the country.
He personally drew most of the new
law under which the old commission s
powers were extended by the last legis-
lature to cover all public utilities.
Mr.. Fairchild leaves a widow and
one son, who were at his bedside when
the end came. Owen o. Calderhead,
rate expert of the commission, who has
been with it since the railroad com
mission first organized, is mentioned as
excellent timber for Mr.. Fairchild s
office. Calderhead is admirably equip
ped, because of his direct knowledge of
important matters now pending, to fill
the vacancy. He has been Chairman
Fairchild IS right-hand man in the work.

REYES WILL RETURN TO MEXICO
But Only on Receiving Guaranty of
Political and Citizenship
Rights.

San Antonio, Text will return to
my country just as soon as receive a
guaranty that can exercise political
and citizenship rights. I will then
head my party, the Reyistas," said
Bernardo Reyes, shortly after his ar
rival here. The general was bitter in
his denunciation of Francisco L. Ma.
dero. NHe has originated a new
tyranny said Reyes. HE has made
impossible free suffrage, though he
would have the world believe there is
a free ballot in Mexico. His revolu-
ton was in large measure a farce. !"
Reyes was equally bitter in his de-
nunciation of the cientifcos and did
not conceal his ambition to be presi-
dent of Mexico.

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

Washington.-Casting aside all scien-
tific 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-
tenn 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

Tells of Bombardment.
Vice Admiral Favarelli, commander

story of the bombardment and occupa-

"The bombardment, he said, "be

opened fire at range of 1000 meters.
but after few shots from our 12-inch
guns we drew nearer to the town and
continued firing with our eight-inch and
six-inch guns.
Fort Handle was bombarded by
the Giuseppe Garibaldi, the Varese and
the Francesca Ferruccio; SINE fort by
the Benedtto Brin, the Emanuel Fill
berto and the Carl Alberto, and Sui
TAME fort by the Re Umberto, the Sar-
dogma and the Stella.
The American consul maintained a
position of perfect neutrality, but every
one here agrees that it is thanks to his
attitude that panic did not start in
the town when the approaching bomard-
ment was officially announced. The
Turkish authorities asked the consuls if
they wished to leave the town. A few
were for leaving, but the majority de-
cided to remain.
