There was spark Of admiration in
Breitmann's eyes This man Cathewe

that, so was he himself. He walked
silently to the door and opened it,
standing aside for the other to pass.
"She is perfectly free. Marry her.
She is all and more than you wish her
to be. Will you 60 now?"
Cathewe bowed and turned on his

The ADVANCE Of
JAPANESE EMPIRE
THE "LITTLE YELLOW GIANT"
WILL BE THE THIRD NAVAL
POWER By 1916.
REORGANIZATION OF NAVY
Secretary Meyer Pleads For Plan to
Keep United States in Front Ranks
as World Power-ShouId Abandon
Some Navy Yards.

Washington. by 1916 will
have wrested the position OF third
naval power from the United States
and this country will have difficulty
in maintaining itself in fourth place
unless II builds two battleships a
year.
Secretary Meyer declared this to be
fact in his testimony before the
House naval Seairs committee. The
Secretary urged greater liberality by
Congress in dealing with the naval
establishment.
Mr.. Meyer asked also for an ap-
preparation of s1.e0O.0OO to establish
globe-grdling wireless system, by
which United States warships could
keep in constant touch with Wash
ington, with their bases and with each
other.
The committee is pledged to econ
omy and although appropriations for
battleships have not been acted upon,
many members are said to be inclined
not to support the caucus which de-
cided against two-battleship program
The wireless suggestion, it Is believed,
will not be agreed to for reasons OF
economy.
The Secretary told his committee
that even with the construction OF
two battleships a year the United
States, in four years, would be forced
to drop behind Japan in the naval
scale. If only one ship year be
built, he said, the country would find
itself outstripped by Great Britain,
Germany, France and Japan.
AS part of the general naval reor,
ganization scheme, Secretary Meyer
suggested the abandonment Of the
navy yards at New York, Boston and
Portsmouth, n H., provided $24,000,-
00e could be realized from their sale.

Washington.-l resident Taft soon

Stones OF last May, which directed

certain the duty OF this government
in connection with the killing of
Americans by firing from the Mexi-
can side, or it may prepare to deie-
gate to President Taft authority 10
take whatever steps he may deem
necessary in an emergency.
The proposed resolution is assumed
to be the direct outcome of the con
ference at the White House between
the President and Senators Lodge
Bacon and Stone OF the foreign rela'
tions committee, and Senator'S Bailey
and Culbertson of Texas. The Presi
dent discussed the situation with
these Senator'S and being without
authority to send troops out oil the
country without authority from Con
gress is believed TO have explained
that situation might arise wherein
it might be necessary to cross into
Mexico to compel the conbatants TO
remove their battle-ground to a Eoint
safe beyond the American border
Such an act, it was said could not be
considered an invasion nor an act of
war as there was precedent for the
landing OF marines on foreign terri
tory in the absence of troops from the
constitutional government to protect
foreign residents.

A Stock and Bond Dealer is Convicted
on a Charge Of Fraudulent Breach
Of Trust-iThere Were Several Ex'

Columbia.-Charles II. Barber, tn.

must serve two years in the state pen
itentiary on the charge OF fraudulent
breach of trust. The supreme court
affirmed the sentence Of the Spartan
burg county court and Barber Will
very probably be brought to the peni'

opinions by Associate Justice Woods.
"The defendant. Charles II. Bar

thereof being to the grand jurors

special trust that he would pay said
500 in settlement and satisfaction of
committed crime, which had been
imposed by the court of sessions up
on one Richard Harrison, and wilful'
ly and fraudulently refused to pay
said fine, when commuted to the sum
of 500 by the governor, wilfully and
traudulently misappropriated said
500, trust fund, to his own use.
There are several exceptions, but
the single point pressed in argument
was that the circuit judges should
have directed a verdict of acqlittal
on the ground that no evidence was
introduced tending to prove the
charge made in the indictment.
