No Light on Culprit Fay,
So Witnesses Declare

| Testimony was given before the ma
val board of inquiry today that the
| Culprit Fay, rammed and sunk BY
the U. S. S. Dolphin. showed no lights
Lieutenant Commander Laws, who
commanded the Dolphin: George
Luckett, the civilian pilot, and AL
oysius Jackson. the seaman who was
at the wheel, testified.
The board, presided over by Com
mander Charles G. Marsh, heard tes-
timony again from John G. Lindsay.

Lieutenant Commander Edward Nc
Cauley, who was a member of Assist
ant Secretary of the Navy Winthrop's
party which included Miss Helen Taft
and the daughters of Secretary of the

emphatically denied that one of Mr.
Winthrops fair guests was being
given lesson in steering the vessel
when the accident occurred.
The whole party was down on
deck" said Jackson, land none Of
the ladies came near the wheel"
The hearing proba bly, will last sew
eral DAYS more. Testimony so far in
dicates that the finding will resemble
that OF the coroner's inquest over the
death of Alexander Yellowles, whose
drowning made the accident a fatal
one. Although q verdict of "unavoid-
able accident" is expected by every
one, Mr.. Lindsay. the owner of the
Culprit Fay. has not abandoned hope
of being able to sue for damage.
The court of inquiry paid a visit to
the wrecked remains of the launch
before the hearing was resumed this
morning.
Members of the court saw that the
bow of the craft had been cut off
about ten feet from its extremity.

NEW YORK, June 6.-Business was
decidedly quiet in the stock market
The bears, following their usual Gus,
tom on Tuesday, fought for the advan-
tage, but found It hard to make mucn
impression on the list, the stocks stand
ing the strain well. Much of the ad-
vice from the commission houses was
favorable in tenor. Careful inspection
of the loan crowd showed that the
short interest in the three leaders. Steel.
Union Pacific, and Reading, was still
large, and the borrowing inquiry ur-
gent. That stocks have been well held
in the face of the advance has demon
srated that the big interests are sat
Isfied with conditions. that they ex d..
pect to be able to market at better
prices when the heavy July payments
have been made. There are many who
look for a reaction on the technical
position of the market, but II is also a
fact that there are so many buying
orders under present quotations, and
such an array of investment orders
waiting lower prices that the old
maxim, or that part of II relating to
good absorption of securities on every
reaction.
There were some declines this morn
ing, made slowly, and with every frac-
ton contested. on the higher prices of
cereals, the theory being that crop con-
ditions are not as good as had been
expected.

Committee Wants
Safe Fourth Funds

With $4,000 needed to insure the sue
cess of the safe and sane Fourth, the
joint committee of the Board Of Trade
and Chamber of Commerce has collect
cd to date between 1880 and $l,5C0
George w. White, treasurer Of the
fund, said today that responses to the
last letter sent out by the committee
are being made in sums of g, S., and
SO.
Unless, however. the contributions in
crease the celebration, according to
Commissioner Rudolph, chair of the
committe, will be lacking in many of
the features which went to make the
celebrations of the last two years sue
cessful
Letters have been sent out to all those
who contributed to the fund last year,
as well as those whose names are not
on this list The desire of the COM
mittee is to obtain as many small con-
tributions as possible.
The sentiment of the committee is
that the expenses of the celebration
should not be borne by a few public
spirited men, but all who are financially
able to do so should contribute toward
the cause.
Contributions should be sent to George
w. White, treasurer of the safe and
sane committee on the Fourth of July,

PLANS FOR FEDERAL
STRUCTURES SENT
TO FINE ARTS BOARD
High Commission Passes on
New State, Justice, and
! Commerce Buildings.

Plans for the new buildings for the
departments of State, Justice, and Com
herce and Labor that call for an out
pay OF more than SS,OO0,0OO were submit
Ted today to the commission named by
congress for final approval. President
Iaft' Secretaries MacVeagh, Knox,
Nagel, and Attorney General Wicker
sham constituted the commission.
Ihey met in the Executive offices this
afternoon, with Dom Barber, the archi-
tect OF the Department Of Justice build
ing; Philip Sawyer. who designed the
structure that will house the Commerce
and Labor Department, and Arnold
Bruner, who drew the plans for the new
State Department building.
Immediately after the meeting the
president announced that the plans
would be sent to the Fine Arts Com
mission. This commission hasIno stand
1ng In law, but the President wishes II
10 pass upon the architectural merits of
the building
!, According 10 the plans submitted to-
Hay, the building of the Department OF
kusuce VIII be set back some dis
pennsylvania avenue at Fifteenth
street, and the Pennsylvania avenue
'front.' Will be in line with the front of
me Municipal building, facing PennsyI-
The building of the department of
commerce and Labor will be just south
OF that of Justice, and the Department
or State building will be just south of
that. The two latter buildings will face
the White House Oval.
With the erection of these new build
tngs, Pennsylvania avenue, for all pur-
poses except traffic, will be considerably
widened west of Fourteenth street. The
Sherman statue. behind the Treasury,
will be apparently in the center of the
avenue as one comes west from Four
teenth street. A statue of Alexander
Hamilton is planned for a position north
OF the Sherman statue and directly in
the center of Pennsylvania avenue as It
now runs.
The buildings will be OF white mar
Bile. The Department of Commerce and
Labor will be the largest and the high
est, but the aim of the architects has
been TO arrange the plans so that the
whole general effect shall harmonic.
Congress already has bought the five
squares south of the, Avenue, on which
the new buildings will stand, and part
OF the $S,000,000 to be used in their erec-
tion has ben authorized. The work of
construction will beign as soon as the
plans are approved.

TAI FT-ROOSEVELT
MEETING TODAY IS
FIRST IN MONTHS
President and Colonel Will
Come Together at.Gib-
bons Celebration.

For the first time since the famous
Hello. Theodore. hello, William inter-
veiw between the President and former
President Roosevelt, at Beverly last
summer, these two party leaders will
meet this afternoon in Baltimore at the
Cardinal Gibbons jubilee
There is keen interest in this incident
1t will have no political bearing, in
direct sense. because the occasion is
non-political. There will be little or no
opportunity for the distinguished guests
of Baltimore to get their heads together,
for they will be presented on the plat
form. There will be an opportunity to
observe the cordiality with which they
meet.
Nobody in Washington now suspects
that the President and the colonel will
be otherwise than cordial at this meet
ing. This will be the appearance des-
pite the fact that they have disagreed
more than once and disagreed just the
other day on the arbitration policy Of
the Administration.
The colonel took a heavy fall out Of
the Presidents arbitration plan in one
of his Outlook editorials. II is known
that this hurt the Executive a little,
perhaps hurt him more than was indi-
Gated. He expected Colonel Roosevelt
to take a diffrent position.
Regardless of all this, the meeting this
afternoon will be interesting.
