they are, especially since the Rio

casionally filed with fresh water.
Now Gunnison has a number OF
very nice street fountains. but
they are all up town. So it has
been suggested that a fountain

the NEXT GOVERNOR

New Orleans, April 16.-The New York
Democracy will nominate Governor

succeed Elihu Root, in the opinion OF
Norman E. Mack, former chairman or
the national committee of the Democrat

the Republican candidates, respectively
for governor and senator.
Mr.. Mack is in New Orleans on his way

His wife and his mother-in-iaw. Mrs.
Frances E. Taggart, accompany him.
I'VE have been having a troublesome
time in New York state for some months

looked as though the party was going on
the rocks. but the storm clouds have
cleared away now
"The talk now is all for the nomination
of overnor Glynn to succeed himself.
He has made courageous executive I'M

Democrats of New YORK cannot do better
than to nominate him, and that he Will
be elected.
ssThere is some dispute over the ques-
ton of the nomination or the man to sue

Root has definitely eliminated himself
from the race. We have been going over
the field carefully, and so far no other
men have appeared who seem SO strong

Stay Execution
OF Leo Frank

Atlanta, Ca, April 16.-Execution Of
Leo NJ. Frank. the young factory SUI
perintendent sentenced to hang tomor-
row for the murder of 14-year-oid
Mary Phagan, was stayed today.
Attorneys filed two motions In an
effort to save the life Of the defend
ant. One asks the annulment of the
verdict, on the ground that Judge l..
S. Roam violated the United States
Constitution in allowing Frank to be
absent from the court room when the
verdict was returned. 1t is believed
this plea will be the basis Of an APP
peal to the supreme court Of the Unit
ed States II the state courts deny a
new hearing The other motion asks
for a new trial, on the claim of newly
discovered evidence.
Arguments on both these motions
will be held April 20. This action of
the court automatically stays the
hanging OF Frank until Anal action is
taken on the two motions.

until it broke through and became no.

fumes of ammonia from broken car

Rear Admiral Badger
Asserts Navy Is Ready

New York, April 1--we do not
know what we will be called upon TO
do, but we are ready" This, the only
statement Rear Admiral Charles j.
Badger, COMMUNICATIVE chief of the At
lantio fleet, had TO make as his ships
steamed out of Hampton Roads for
Mexico was made public here tonight
by Secretary Daniels to be added Ito
the splendid words spoken by Ameri-
can naval heroes"
Mr.. Daniels told members of the
Navy League of the United States at
their annual banquet that the brevity
and comprehensiveness of these words
rank with those of Dewey at Manila
and John Paul Jones in the battle of
the Bon Homme Richar dand the Sc
rapis.
An appeal for popular support of the
navy was voiced by the secretary.
There is nothing the matter with our
navy he said There is nothing the
matter with our discipline; there Is
nothing the matter with our splendid
personnel.
There is great deal the matter
with the public viewpoint; there Is a
great deal the matter with the lack of
information on the part of great pro-
portion of our citizens as to the navy
1T is my firm belief that no definite
program of naval construction-by that
I mean a program that will not be in
Jeopardy every time Congress assem-
bles-can be laid down until an over
whelming majority of our people be-
come friends of the navy and give
somewhat more than passive support
to the navy's proper development"
The navy now has it's quota and for
the first time it has a waiting list. the
secretary said. Speaking of his recent
order abolishing the wine mess, the
secretary said:
with singular lack Of logic, critics
who see fit to represent me as a foe to
discipline on the one hand twist this into
a case of discipline run ma don the 9th
er. Far greater questions than that of
discipline lie back of this
He said there was no body of more
temperate clear-headed men in the world
than American naval officers
He asked his hearers whether they
would not demand the abolishing OF a
wine mess in railroad engineers club
houses If the railroads should permit such
a thing.
''The wreck of great cattleship," said
the secretary, ''the loss of a critical bat
tie and the honor of the country may
easily hinge upon one of many men in
the varied and complex duties which
these great masses of intricate machin-
cry called battleships have created.
VERY substantial and practical econo-
niles have been brought about in the ex-
penditures for the navy. Mr.. Daniels
said. 1.-The appropriation bill now before
Congress is less than that of last year
yet last years appropriation included
only one battleship This year. with less
money, we proposed to build two.
This has been done by the cutting of
countless unnecessary expenses. as we'll
as by the saving of practically a million
dollars In the purchase of material for
battleship No. 39.''

Flying Machine to
Fly Like Birds

Paris, April ia new type of fly
ing machine, the object of which is
to enable man to initiate birds in
utilizing the wind to the exclusion of
other motive power, was described to-
night at the congress of the Society
of Savants. The invention is that of
DR.. A. Magnan and its flight is in
tended to be a continuous yolplane.
Like large birds, the apparatus is
provided with a spreading tail and two
tapering wings. the latter being so
placed as to enable it to remain mo-
tionless. The control of the machine
must be acquired by practice as in
the case of a bicycle and 1t is admit
ted this will prevent great difficulty
and even danger.
