FLETCHER DEFENDS
Navy OF AMERICA
At HOUSE INQUIRY
Claims New York Safe From
Invasion and Submarines
Not Deciding Factor in En-
gagement.
(BY LEASED WlRE.1

WASHINGTON, Dec. 9.-In direct
REPUTATION of the allegations that New
York city can be taken by u foreign
fleet. Rear Admiral Fletcher, COM
mander of the Atlantic fleet told the
house naval affairs committee today
that the present Notifications of the
American metropolis. supplemented by
mines, should make that city safe.
The rear admiral asserted that the
battleship is still the deciding factor
in naval warfare and cannot be sup.
planted by submarines.
The European war, Admiral Fetch
er said, has not demonstrated that the
battleship is any less valuable or that
it will not be the main factor here
after in deciding sea conflicts.
THE use of the submarines" said
the admiral. depends largely upon
opportunity. II the opportunity does
not appear, the value of the submarine
is diminished. The nation which has
the greatest number of battleships
will control the sea-
Representative Hobson asked if
Germany could control the sea even
il she had 500 submarines. Admiral
Fletcher said he thought not. The ad-
miral said the fleet is in satisfactory
condition. although he admitted that
most of the submarines on the At
lantic coast are undergoing repairs or
overhauling and that there is but one
submarine now in first class fighting
trim.

FAKE OFFICERS 4
WAYLAY COUCH
ON way HOME

Thomas Couch, 529 North Eigh-
teenth street. was the second hold-up
victim of the week. Two men "stuck
him up" at the corner of Eighteenth
and North F streets last night, near
his home. They secured all the money
he had with him, 50 and some small
change, but he was not attacked as
was Preston Carr, who was held up
on North J street between Fifteenth
and Sixteenth streets on Monday night.
Carr was knocked down with a black
jack and was painfully injured.
Couch came to police headquarters
last night and reported the robbery.
1.-TWO men came up to me-" Couch
said, land they told me they were po-
lice officers. Then one of them told
me that | was under arrest. Both
OF them grabbed me and one Of them
took my pocketbook, took all the mon
ey | had in it, and then ran away be-
fore | could realize what had actually
happened"
The police have the description of
COUGHS assailants and they tally with
the descriptions of two of the three
men who held up Carr. A police drag
net was thrown out in the north end
after the robbery had been reported,
but no arrests were made.
The search was being continued to-
day. People in the north end have
become greatly alarmed over the oper-
atoms of the unknown hold-up men,
and many of them are afraid to leave
their homes after night

CHARITY MAY GET
GUEST HOUSE FUND

Absence of some of the directors OF
the Guest House association prevented
any definite action last night on the
refunding of money or on the future
course Of the association since it has
been decided to cease activities for
the present.
The small amount of money donated
ANONYMOUSLY will be given to some
worthy cause, probably the Central
Charity bureau, members said today.
The final board meeting will be held
next Tuesday night to decide on what
method will be employed to return
other money to the patrons.
The question Of whether to disband
entirely now and when opportunity
presents for another campaign, re-
organize along the same lines, or to
merely become inactive for the time
being, will also be decided at the meet
ing next week.

Wayne county in general and to Rich
mOnd in particular, in the forthcoming
work
Mr.. Lyman not only has aroused
much interest in his contemplated
work among educators Of Indiana, but
he las obtained the support of many
of the states most prominent men in
public life, and when the history ap-
pears something more than a year
hence, it probably will be found one of
the most valuable reference works of
its kind ever published in the country.
George S. Cottman, of indianapolis, is
editor1in-chief, which insures that the
history of Indiana will be we'll pre-
pared and that it will lack nothing
that might be regarded as essential to
a complete, interesting, and accurate
chronological narrative.
Independent of Editor Cottman's
work, there will be individual histories
OF the ninety-two counties and as
special features the development of
Journalism in Indiana, the story of
the states railroads, both electric and
steam, the development of 1ndiana's
natural resources, and its industries
and its educational progress are to be
thoroughly exploited. One of the
unique features is to be the biograph-
ical department, which will in a very
brief, but in very comprehensive
way, tell who's Who" in Indiana
Probably 1900 Hoosier citizens, men
and women, who in some way or other
have attained local or state or nation
wide prominence, will be included in
this list.

bile Of X. l.. Slaughter Of the 6laugh-
ter Land and Cattle company Of 3d.
nora, Mexico, was destroyed by fire
Sunday morning ON the Borderland
route between Deming and Douglas,
Arix. Mr.. Slaughter had passed
through Deming from Fl Paso on
his way home and had alighted from
his machine to fix tire and after
completing fixing the tire, lighted a
cigar and threw the match on the
ground. A flame rapidly sprang up,
fed by gasoline from leak in the
tank and the ear, which was a hand
some one, was soon reduced to a
mass of scrap iron and steel. The
car was completely destroyed and
the aluminium body was melted into
small pieces. Mr.. Slaughter was
able to complete his journey with a
passing automobilist.

Deming's remarkable growth is
sure to increase the value Of restrict
ed residence lots in a very solid way.
These lots are in the home part of
Deming, on the best streets, near the
most modern homes-and what is
more, they always will be. There is
a reason, to be sure, and the reason
is this: no person can put up a cheap
shack for IA home. The deed says
it must be a good, substantial home
one the neighbors will not be
ashamed of. Those who have built
on these lots are more than pleased
with their investment, some have ac-
tually come back and bought addi-
tional lots for investment-and we
believe it's the best investment they
ever made.
You can buy these lots upon
payment of $40 and So q month il
you want to; any working man can
make payments like that. It's better
than money at big percent and it
can't get away from you.
We also have plenty of other lots
in different parts of Deming not in
the restricted residence district,
prices ranging from $50 up. All ON
the same easy payment plan.
Our ear is always ready to show
you the extraordinary lots. Deming

The first number Of the excellent
entertainments secured by the Dem
ing Womsn's Club of the Lyceum
course for the winter season is the
Lyric 0lee club which will appear at
the Crystal theater tomorrow night,
September 10.
For ten years or more the Lyric
0lee club has been known from coast
to coast as one OF the finest and
most popular companies appearing
before the public. The club has ap-
peared in hundreds Of the principal
cities Of the country and in many
cases have returned repeatedly. Few
attractions are in so great demand.
For several years they have not only
iilled twenty weeks or more each fall
and winter season, for the Century
Bureau, but have been booked in
southern chautauquas during the
spring months, and in northern chau-
tauquas the entire summer. The
Lyric Glee club is an unusually dc.
sirable chautauqua attraction, on ac-
count Of their versatility and their
extensive repertoire Of both singing
and brass quartet selections.
In addition to their regular tour
the United States government in 1908
and again in 1910 sent the Lyric Glee
club to Panama to entertain the en-
ployes of the Panama canal. Con-
certs were given at all the principal
points in the Canal Zone under the
management of the International Y.
NJ. C. A. On the last tour, side trips
were made to Taboga Island in the
Pacific ocean and to the old historic
Spanish town Of Porto Bello, a Car
ibbean seaport. The Lyric Glee club
had the honor Of being the first Am
erican company 10 appear in the mil
lion dollar National theater owned
by the government Of Panama.
Later in the season will appear
in Deming under the auspices Of the
Deming Woman's Club, Dr. Thomas
+. Green, lecturer, traveller and au-
thor of great repute as an entertain
err; Madame Evelyn Scotney, so
prano, with her company Of trained
artists; Ross Crane. the cartoonist,
clay modeler, entertainer; and the
Hampton Court Singers in song and
drama from the Lyceum Arts con-
servatory of Chicago.
The people of Deming should give
the Deming Woman's Club their
heartiest support by buying season
tickets, the proceeds Of which goes
toward the Demine Public Library.
The Woman's club has gone to- great
expense to secure the best talent OBJ
tainable for the amusement Of the
psepls- and il is the duty Of every
person in the city to attend the Cyrs-
tai theater when the attractions APP
