YANKEES HAVE BETTER
 NAVY THAN THE JAPS

BERLIN, Feb. 25. 1912. The over. whelming superiority of the American navy over the Japanese is proclaimed by Captain l.. Persius, one of the most capable and best known of the retired naval officers writing in the German press, in an article just published the Berlin Tageblatt.
 Captain Persius' views show A com. plete conversion from those advanced until now by himself Lieutenant Count von Reventow and the other German naval publicists, who for several years have been regularly predicting the coming war between the United States and Japan, and the inevitable triumph or the Japanese fleet and army. Hom CT Lea's work, "The valer of Ignor. anee, v serving for them as text book.
 Captain Persius can now see no probability of war before the open ing of the Panama Canal or at any appreciable date in the future, and asserts that the Japansesc navy far from being equal to that of the Unit ed States, is weaker than at the out break of the Russo Japanese war The then modern bastlesbips are he says, now obselete. The ships cap. tured from, the Russians, rebuilt at a cost of over s3O,OOO,o00, have very slight fighting value. and the incre. ment through inew battleships is ex. traordinarilyy small.
 Only the battleships Aki and Sats. una, completed with almost record breaking siowness of construction in five years, can be considered modern shps though these carry only l2.inct guns instead Of the usual Dreadnapght armament. and it is extremely doubt. ful whether Japan's first two ships of the Dreadnaught class. the Sett.u and kawacbi, will he finished in time to join the fleet this year. A first. class battle-ship-cruiser is under con, struetion in England; another has re. gently been started in Japan, These with small cruisers, destroyers and submarines, represent the total in. crease since the war with Russia.
 The attempt 10 construct battle ships in Japan has proved. accord  ing to Captain Persius, n failure, due Co the deficiencies of the Japanese steel works and the lack of techni. calis trained workmen in the yards. In confirmation of this Is cited the Japanese Minister of Marine, who in

BURGLARS FINED
 NEW YORK A MECCA

NEW YORK. Feb. 24.-New York is rapidly becoming the burglar s Mecca and as a result burglary in- suranee rates are soaring. Recent daring daylight robberies by a gang making use of an automobile have served to focus public attention and to bring about q realization of the fact that Jesse James and his meth eds would be considered amateurish here. That this condition has exist. ed for some time, however, and if not sporadic outbreak is evidenced by the fact that because of the sue eessful activities of burglars hefs last year the companies writing burg. lary insurance have found it neeess. ary 10 raise their rates. In some eases the increase amounts to 50 per cent. An hut two of the eompan- ies have now refused to insure horses and wagons because of the startling record fthefts of such property val ned at over sI,oooooo, in the streets Of New York last year. The gang Of feather and fnr thieves which caused 90 many heavy losses is still st large. They are very clever. Their only tools seem ts he an iron bar. rope and an umbrella. They break in to floor above n fur or feather establishment, prospect for an open. ing and then make n hole through the ceiling. They insert the umbrella carefully, open it after t is through and the safeguard noise from falling plaster by gathering the plaster in the umbrella until their opening Is wide enough to admit a man. They have even gone through ceilings protected by wires. by carefully pushing the wires 10 one side. They use the um. brella afterward as an elevator for the furs or feathers.

George Delmarr writes from New Orleans of recent date of the death of Henry N. Lowe, which occurred near that city in an acroplanc acei. dent. The latter was accompanying the owner of the mae hine, who was an amateur aviator, in the flight across a lake, and when at a height of about forty feet, one of the rods carrying the rudder snapped off and the aeroplane careened and on slight. ing in the water buried both men. Owing to the many attachments they were unable to extricate themselves. and in few minutes were drowned. . Mir.

 Col. Charles II. Earth, '. S.

He was busily en. gagged during the day in inspecting the barracks and gnining data, and will conclude his duties today re. turning to his station tomorrow.
 The visit of Col Earth is indc. pendent of the mission of Col. Miller of some weeks ago, the latter making observations of the post and rifle range to the north for establishing n school of musketry. In view of the accommodation made by the secre. tary of war for the abandonment of whippIe Barracks for military pur. poses, the trip at this time of Col. Earth carries much significance of the future intentions of the War de. partment and the result of his trip will be awaited with interest.

tcontiuued From Page l.)

equivoeal statement from the colonel that he is q candidate for the nomin alton. President Taft was given a copy of the letter, but would make no comment. It has been only the last fortnight that the president was willing to admit to his closest friends that he believed his predecessor would enter the race against him. It is doubted whether up to the last min. ute he was convinced fully any an. nouncement coming from the colonel would be without string attached. That Mir. Taft is hurt deeply because from now on he must engage in open contest against the man under whom he served many years became known soon after the letter was made pub. lie. There is n great deal of speeual. ton tonight on the probable attitude of several members of the cabinet, particularly Stimson and Meyer, who have been frequent visitors at the Roosevelt offices and home. Notwith. standing the bombshell from New York, the usual optimistic weekly re- view this week was issued tonight from the Taft bureau.

Opening of Mary Cary Rest Room.
 On Tuesday evening the room once used by the business college in the Library building was the scene of much enthusiasm, the occasion being the opening of the "Mary Cary Rest Room, '5' for the use of the young business women of Prescott.
