WASHINGTON. u. c.. July 20
That the historic battieship Oregon
shall lead the proposed International
naval pageant on the cruise from
hampton Roads to San Francisco in
1915 has been suggested by Repre-
sentative Foss. OF Illinois, and the
proposition ia favored by MIR. Beck
man Winthrop. the acting secretary
of the navy.
Mr.. Winthrop gays that the idea IL
excellent, but that the final action OF
the navy department would depend
on how the suggestion shah be re-
ceived by the public.
Two great effects would be pro-
lueed by making the Oregon the flag
ship OF the international arna da.
Ono is that America, which takes the
lead in the great Panama exposition
affairs, should ba represented by the
most famous " her exiaaag hattla-
ships. The other will demonstrate
how the oregon could have reached
the naval fight at Santiago had there
been a Panama canal
The navy has within the last five
years spent more than million dol
lars on reluNsnating the Oregon, and
she is stiil formidable fighting craft.
1t Is not thought that Spanish pride
would be hurt by the leadership of
the oregon in the pageant. She Is
now on the Pacific coast.

MR.. GORDON DID
NOT GODFATHER.
VIRGINIA DEMOCRATIC LEAGUE
MAKES EXPLANATION OF
MIR. JONES CHARGE.

MIR. G. b. Garnett, manager of the
virginia League, gave out the follow
Ing interview to-day:
Upon Information given from this
office Mr.. Jones in his charlottesville
speech used the following language:
Others who god -fathered that
meeting we're Mr.. Chris Manning and
Judge George L.. Christian. not to
mention Mr.. James w. Gordon, who,
at the present time. is Senator Mar
tins local campaign manager in Rich
mond. and all OF whose names are
signed to Senator Martins appeal
Since the publication of the above,
MIR. James w. Gordon has come to
this office and objected to this Ian
guage, saying that IT misrepresented
him, as he never voted anything but a
Democratic ticket in his life. and that,
although he did appear on the stage
on the occasion of the Republican
meeting addressed by Mr.. Charles
Francis Adams, 1t was because no
could not get seat in the audience;
and Mr.. Gordon added that he only
sat in one of the wings during a
part of the speech. and that he had
nothing to do with the meeting or
with Mr. Adams coming to Rich
mond.
1T was not my intention. nor the
intention OF Mr.. Jones, to misrepre-
sent the facts; and my information
was based upon the reports of the
Richmond Times Dispatch of Octo-
Der Is, 1905, and of the Richmond
Evening Leader and the Richmond
journal of October &c, 1908. The
Times Dispatch reports Mr.. Gordon
as one of those who occupied seats
upon the stage and so do the News
Leader and the Journal AS no de-
NAL was found in these papers of
this fact, and no objection WAS made
at the time by Mr., Gordon, We
thought that the circumstances justi-
fed the statement that Mr.. Gordon
was among those who god-fathered
the meeting,
AS Mr.. Gordon objects 10 the use
Of this language as misrepresenting
his attitude, | cheerfuly make the
above explanation, in which / am
sure Mr.. Jones eoncnrs.'
