Washington. oct. S.-Wasnington
l.. Capps. former naval constructor,
has submitted report to Secretary
Of the Navy Meyer intending to cor
roborate the opinion of the court OF
inquiry that the battleship Maine
was blown mp in Havana harbor by
an external explosion under the YES
sells hull.
While HIS report will probably be
made public, naval officers who have
read It say that Mr.. Capps confirms
the decision OF the court of inquiry
that the condition of the wreck leads
10 the conclusion that the primary
explosion was beneath the hull of the
Maine at about frame is.
Since the recent destruction of the
French battleship Liberte there have
been many references in ;he news.
papers suggesting an analogy between
the French disaster and the explo-
- sion which destroyed the Maine.
From information obtainabe in re.
gard to the Libcrte incidents. they
We're probably due to the deeomposi-
tion and spontaneous combustion of
smokeless powder OF type desig.
mated as "B." and of old manufac-
ture. A search Of the records Of the
bureau of ordnance. made by order
of Secretary Meyer, develops the
fact that no smokeless powder of
this character was in the magazines
of the Maine at the time of her de
struction.

Goes Through Picture Land
on Way to Butte,
Mont.
STOPS Ar MANY SMALL TOWNS
Special Train Going 1915
Miles Without a Seized
uled Stop.
Pomona Elks Appeal For
Retention of the Lemon
Tariff.

San Bernardlno, Cal, Oct 49,
President Taft passed through the
picture,book land of southern Cat-
sornia He is taking his longest
jump of his 13OOO-mile trip, from
Los Angeles to Butte, Mont, a dis
tance of 1915 miles, or farther than
from Maine to Florida There are
no scheduled stops for this "trip but
many small towns along the way
have telegraphed the president to
stop with them few minutes and
he has consented to do so.
The last place which the president
visited before leaving Lot Angeles
was Long Beach. where he walked
about the hotel plaza ami watched
the bathers fight the surf of the Pa
ciilc and loll about the wafm sand Of
the beach in the sun. It was uncom-
fortably warm and the president
sought the shade, where cool sea
breezes might reach him. He tarried
long enough for light luncheon and
then boarded his train to visit the
country which the presidential party
heard week ago was snowround.
The first stage of the long jump
was through the orange and lemon
land of the southern valley. Stops
were made at four or five towns
and the president spoke to the
crowds from the platform of mis- car.
The heat increased as the journey
progressed inland. The people at the
stations were dressed mostly in
white and they buried his platform
in roses several times. Every nook
Of the Taft special will at least have
the freshness of those flowers for the
presidents dusty trip over the dess
erts of Nevada and Utah. Thoy gave
their tribute of fruits also.
After the train had run for miles
and miles through orchards of lemon
and orange trees, the Taft special
arrived at Pomona, Cal. and there a
delegation of the local body of Elks
was waiting for the president with a
huge basket of lemons decorated
with a plea for the maintenance of
the citrus fruit tariff. The placard
on the basket read: I'VE come from
Pomona' broad. sunshiny vale with
greetings from thousands. Your
health, sir. All hail. We trust we
will merit your careful inspection.
We're good for a squeeze but we
need your protection"
The president was greeted b.
amazingly big crowds for the size of
the towns. 1t was evident that they
had come in from the ranches and
surrounding country to see him.
Though the visits were short and
rather hastily arranged, considerable
preparation had been made d. every
town for the presidents reception
and everywhere there were big bas-
kets OF roses. flowers arranged in de-
signs and little poseys handed to the
president from the hot hands OF
youngsters lifted up to the platform
by their parents.

We had been the best Of friends
ever since. Two days before the we'd
ding he came around from his tailor's,
and we burned all his letters TO me.
He would read one and say; Here's
a crackerjack, Kit" and pass it to
me. And after ! had read 1t We would
lay IL on the irclOg, and Jim would
say. Il am not worthy Of her, Kit.
wonder If | can make her happy2' Or
Did you know that the duke OF
Bedford proposed to her in London
last winter?'
OF course, me has TO take the
woman's word about a thing like that,
but the duke Of Bedford had been
mad about Maude Richard all that
winter.
You can see that the burning Of
the letters. which was meant to be
reminiscently sentimental, a sort Of
how-silly We were-it-i all-oyeT now &C,
c%asiOn, became actually a two hours
eulUgy Of Bella. And just when |
was bored to death, the Mercer girls
dropped in and heard Jim begin to
read one commencing dearest Kit.
And the next day after the rehearsal
dinner. they told Bella,
There was very nearly no wedding
at all. Bella came to see me in a
frenzy the next morning and threw
Jim and his two hundred odd pounds
in my face, and although | explained
II all over and over. she never quite
forgaye me. That was what made IL
so hard later-the situation would
have been bad enough without that
complication.
They went abroad on their wedding
journey. and stayed several months.
And when jim came back he was fat
ter than every. Everybody noticed
1t. Bella had a gymnasium fitted up
in a corner Of the studio, but he would
not use It. He smoked a pipe and
painted all day, and drank beer and
would eat starches or whatever it is
that Is fattening. But he adored
Bella. and he was madly jealous OF
her. At dinners he used to glare at
the man who took her in, although 1t
did not make him thin. Bella was
flirting, too, and by the time they had
been married a year, people hitched
their chairs together and dropped
their voices when they were men
toned.
Well, on the anniversary of the day
Bella left him-Oh, yes, she left him
finally. She was intense enough about
some things, and she said it got on
her nerves to have everybody chuckle
when they asked for her husband.
They would say. Hello, Bella! How's
Bubbles? Still b~anting?" And Bella
would try to laugh and say, He
