ENSIGN GORDON
 OF THE ARKANSAS Is Attending the Elks Con vention and Talks of the
 Big Battleship.
EXPECT THE SILVER
Says Battlesilip Arkansas is tie
 'Queen of the SeaS"-Lauds Captain Smith.

That the "boys in blue" on the great battleship Arkansas" are expecting this state to present that vessel with a silver service was the statement made last night by E. Gordon, an ensign on the big man-owar, who has secured a furlough of 62 days and is on his way for his home at lIlberton, Ga.
 Mr. Gordon is here attending the Elks convention and will be in this city for the next two days. He is very enthusiastic over the prospects of the people of this state presenting the ship with a beautiful silver ser vice, and discussed matters concern ing the vessel freely last night.
 "The Arkansas is the queen of the seas" he said, and is practically in yincible. This is the greatest vessel afloat and everywhere we go it crea tes great deal of interest. 1t is a great advertisement to this state ana if any vessel should be presented with d silver service, the Arkansas should receive one The men on board the vessel. which is now in dock at Phi ladelphia are confident that the peo- ole of this State are blessed With en- ough patriotism to remember then! by purchasing the silver service and while they are not impatient, they are anXiously waiting for the time to come when the service will be pre- sented.
 | "As to the rumors concerning Cap tain Smith. | am of the opinion that the press dispatches are greatly eX- l aggerated. We ran afoul reef re ccntlv and injured the vessel slightly l The newspaper correspondents inn mediately took the matter up and 1 stated in their dispatches that Cap tain Smith would be subject to court martial proceedings. This believe l
 i is untrue, as Captain Smith is still or 1 board the ship and is in command as usual As an officer, Captain Smitf is considered one of the best in the 1 service and as gentlemen, his con duct is unimpcachiable.
 "The men on board the ship arc very much interested in Arkansas, : very favorable impression being ere ated when Mrs. Frank Tomlinson, ol this city. was on board the ship al
 the flag presentation exercises, and they eagerly gain all the information
 possible concerning this State. "The Arkansas is the pride anc the boast of the Navy and all the l men on board feel greatly honoref
 in being able to man the greatest yes
 sel afloat,"
 MT. Gordon will be ill this city botl
 today and tomorrow and will thel leave for his home in El6erton, Ga,
