CiIitieS in Norfolk.

Planning to provide larger and more
adequate terminal facilities at the Nor
folk end OF its line. the Norfolk and
Washington Steamboat Company has
just purchased a considerable stretch Of
unimproved harbor front property in the
Virginia city. and on the land and over
the water it is proposed to build a mod
ern pier, capable Of affording wharf room
for q number Of big steamers.
Announcement Of the projected i'm
provement carried with it the statement
that the property secured by the steam
ship company. which was purchased from
the Tidewater Realty Company Of Nor
folk. in what is known as Atlantic City
ward. Norfolk. comprised a total area Of
10000 square feet.
Frontage Of Over 400 Feet.
The frontage of the land upon the
water is somewhat in excess Of 400 feet
and If the new pier Is extended to the
limit Of the port warden's line it will

facilities sufficient to meet the needs OF

property, 1t is understood the company
total outlay In acquiring and developing
the new terminal will be about 500, 900.
The property for years was owned and
occupied by the Merritt & Chapman
Wrecking Company, but 1t was sold three
years ago to the Tidewater Realty Com
pany.
The new wharf will be In a particularly
convenient location. since the street car
line Is directly in front of the property.

Of the Massachusetts, delegates If he is to
continue in the race as a winning FACTOR.
He has had that repeated to him so OF
ten he has come to that conclusion. His
Massachusetts, speeches. it is now under
stood, will be a vigorous attack upon
Col. Roosevelt for certain things the Col
has been saying about the President. The
Presidents friends insist that he must
not spare words and that he must call
spade a spade and lie a lie. If he does
not do SO. 1t is declared, his chances for
nomination will grow simmer each day.
Denies Deserving Taft Camp.
The White House politicians indicated
today that some plain falsehoods are be-
ing handed out by the Roosevelt people in
regard to alleged desertions by southern
delegates instructed for Taft, or elected
on the understanding that they would
vote for him. The following letter from
c. p. Goree Of Atlanta. denying state
ments that Taft delegates will desert the
President, was made public today:
II have no idea that such letters have
been received from the Georgia dele
gates. I do not believe we have single
traitor In our number. ] am not in the
least Influenced by this flim-f1am game
which the Roosevelt committee is trying
to play by sending out its false state
ments. I have, as / have always enter
tanned an abiding faith In the President 6
denomination and In his triumphant elec-
ton in November, his traducers to the
contrary notwithstanding"
Demands Americans Release.
Demands have been made upon the
rebel authorities at Chihuahua by Amer.
lean Consul Letcher for the immediate
release Of two Americans imprisoned
there. The men have been in confine.
ment since March 49, but the American
official has just learned of their plight.
One of them is said to be a sailor who
was honorably discharged from the
United States Navy. The consulate de-
mands their immediate release.
Reports to the State Department show
that Ensenada, Capulco and Saltillo are
quiet. Telegraphic communication with
Acapulco has been re-established.
Under date Of April 10 1t is reported
from Nuevo Laredo that some fighting
has occurred near Escalon, and that a
battle is considered imminent.

Rock Creek Purchase.

After The Stars report closed yesterday
Herbert ]. Brown, the expert employed
by the George tax investigating commit
tee, turned In a detailed statement. and
explained orally that In the days Of the
low assessments. in 1902 and neighboring
years, the statement made by Assessor
Trimble that the 1902 assessment was
extraordinarily high and oppressive was
not based on actual conditions.
He said that the Rock Creek Park
lands were purchased at 770 per cent ad-
, vance over the assessments at the time.
or nearly eight times what the assess
ments had been.
THE government paid for the 1,650.7
acres purchased for Rock Creek Park.
he said, 1.-The sum Of SLEEPS. while
the assessment for the taxation OF this
area was only 1913, 334, showing that the
government paid TO times the assessed
value Of the property. Accepting the CON
clusion that the prices paid were In the
aggregate reasonable, 1t proves beyond
question that the assessment Tor TAXA
ton Of these properties was away oeio"
their real value.
''Since these assessments were or the
same period as those contained IN the
johnson report which show Tor the DIS,

of S167 67O, 72S on improvements OF 300.

TAFT PREPARES SPEECHES

Secretary Meyer having asked the
House committee on naval affairs to
increase the enlisted force Of the navy
by 1000 sailors and 400 marines, led to
nsational rumors around the White
House and elsewhere today that trouble
with Mexico was being prepared for by
the administration.
Investigation developed that Secretary
Meyer, no doubt with the approval Of
the President. did send to Chairman
Padgett of the House committee q re-
quest Tor this increase, but that the in
Gre ase was not based upon any probable
emergency. and that II the increase is
granted II will not become effective until
July !, the beginning Of the fiscal year.
The request was not made by the adj
ministration with any thought Of Mexico,
merely upon the ground that II the ex-
listing limit Of 1900 sailors and $3.50
marines Is not increased there will not be
sufficient men in the navy to man the
vessels now afioat and those soon to be
launched.
Should Have Enough Men.
1T is silly to continue adding vessels
to the fighting force Of the navy and
then not give sufficient men to handle
thsm. said Chairman Padgett. II have
increase in the limit Of enlisted men.
The truth is that the navy Is putting
many ships in reserve, SO as to get the
men to care for the modern vessels that
are coming into use.
THE navy needs fully 1900 more enlist
ed men, and the 40 marines that have
been requested, and shall urge the in
crease which will cost something like
81. 100000 year more than at the pres
ent time. In 1908 we increased the en-
hstment limit by 5000 men. There is not
only a serious shortage in the necessary
number OF enlisted men, but fully 1000
officers short. 1t is useless to build ships
to fight with II there are no officers and
men to handle them. The limit OF 1900
enlisted men is practically full, under
stand
ing for an hour with the President as
to the Magdalena bay matter and the
Mexican situation. The Magdalena bay
answer to the Senate resolution is being
prepared but will not be ready for the
Senate for several days.
President Cancels Engagements.
Secretary Knox was one Of the few
men who saw the President today. Mr..
Taft did not go to the executive Offices.
Cancelled his engagements and retired to
the private library. where he worked
during the day.

The Science of Song Writing
