NAVAL STRUGGLE
not YET ENDED
FRANCE BELIEVES THAT GREAT
BRITAIN AND GERMANY,
WILL STILL FIGHT

Paris. July 24.-That the world is
not yet on the eve Of the cessation OF
the struggle between Great Britain
and Germany for naval supremacy is
the prevalent opinion in France after
careful study Of the recent speech by
Winston Spencer Churchill in the
house of commons.
The continuation of the rivalry be.
tween those two countries causes q
note OF regret here, but there Is an in
clination to believe that II it must &c
on France should learn lesson from
England's procedure and herself In
crease her navy.
The Matin, commenting Oh the sub
ject, says it is in position to declare
that Italy and Austria at the instiga
tion of Germany are about to build
additional superdreadnoughts, In re.
gard to which nothing has been per.
mitted to transpire. italy is to con-
struct six of these vessels, each OF
10000 tons displacement and capable
of steaming at speed Of twenty-five
knots, while Austria Is to build three,
each of them displacing $4,000 tons.
The newspaper continued:
'The fulfillment Of this program
will destroy the present naval equili-
brium in the Mediterranean and give
a big advantage to the triple alliance

Bill House Has Passed to Give
Mr.. Taft One More Adviser.

heavy DAMAGE IN
WISC0NS|NFL0
TWO DAMS NEAR WAUSAU BURST
CAUSING LOSS THAT MAY
REACH HALF MILLION.

Wausau, Wis. July 24.-Flood dam.
age estimated at from 100000 to $780,.
900 was wrought today from the break
ing of two dams on the Wisconsin
river north Of Wausau. Three bridges
in this city were washed out and q
fourth was partly destroyed.
All electric power, including street
car service, has been put out of COM
mission.
The dams which were swept away
are known as the tomahawk-B -BrokaW
structures. The floods made in roads
on the waterworks plant and cut off
the city supply
A large volume of water swept down
the river front, covering the streets
of Wausau near the river, surrounding
the city hall. Business was demoral-
lied.
No loss of life has yet been reported.
A report reached here that several
farm houses were swept away but the
report lacks confirmation.
The railroad bridges are the only
ones intact here and these are held in
place by cars loaded with hogs. Now
the water, then several feet above nor
NAL continued to rise.
Part of the cofferdam at Rothchild
six niles north, was dynamited later
causing the flood to recede very ma
terially. It is expected normal condi-
ton in Wausau will be restored tomor-
row.

ETHER TEST FAILS
TO LOOSEN TONGUE

Sacramento, Cal, July 24.-Even the
ether test left alienists absolutely un-
decided today whether Charles A. Car
son, a convict in Folsom penitentiary
had been stricken dumb or was sham
ming. He has not spoken word for
two years and ten months.
The common effect of ether is to
loosen the tongue while the subject is
coming under or out of it's effects.
It was expected that Carson would
lose voluntary control CT his vocal or
gans and reply to questions put to him
by the physicians. No sound escaped
his lips.
Carson was sentenced TO life i'm
prisonment in 1904 for assault and
robbery. Two wears later he was
given death for his chare in mur-
derous Jail break. He is South
Carolian.

T0FURN|SA FACTS
DISTRICT ATTORNEY LOOKS FOR
IMPORTANT EVIDENCE ON
KILLING OF GAMBLER

New York, July 24.-The trail that
leads to the men who laid the plot
to slay Herman Rosenthal, the
gambler, is slowly clearing and Dis
trict Attorney Whitman believes to-
day he will be able to show that The
"police system" and even those higher
up were behind the plot to silence
Rosenthal before he could make
further gambling revelations.
From Harry Vernon, gambler and
one of the occupants Of the murder
car the public prosecutor has learned
further facts that implicate Bald
jack Rose, close friend Of Police
Lieutenant Becker, and who hired the
gray automobile that took the gunmen
to the scene of the shooting. Mrs.
Rosenthal, widow of the gambler, told
the grand jury that Rose was Becker's s
closest friend and charged that Rose
was the Heutenant's gambling house
collector.
With arrests Of other gunmen the
public prosecutor expects to learn
enough to involve Rose further in the
murder plot and by so doing force him
to make full confession and reveal
those who were behind the killing.
There were reports at the district
attorneys office today that the public
prosecutor had information that indi-
Gated that the grey automobile which
figured so prominently in the Rosen-
thai murder case was used merely
as a blind" and that at the actual
slayers Of the gambler were concealed
in the shadows of the hotel and after
the killing mixed in the crowd.
Aaron J. Ley, counsel for Shapiro
Libby, said today that his home had
been entered last night and that he
believed some one wanted to do him
a bodily injury, as there we're no evil
dences that anything had been stolen.
