DANIELS TELLS NAVY PLANS TOGOvERNORS
State Executives Ship Target in
 Sham Torpedo Attack

Boston, Aug. 26.-A navy steadily increased in size and efficiency so that it will be ready to defend the country against attack from any quarter. This is the aim of Secretary of the Navy Josephus Daniels as declared before the governors conference yesterday at an adjourned session on board the fla agship Wyoming of the North At lantic feet in Massa chusetts bay. For two hours the secretary stood on the bridge of the flagship, while Admiral Fletcher put the fleet through intricate maneuvers illustrating attack and defense. Then he joined the gov ernors in the admiraIs cabin and told them why he l ad made them li- guests for the afternoon.
 Up to tLe People.
 "The navy must abide in the hearts of the whole country if it is to be | strong and powerful and made great" i the secretary said. "It is for the peo- pie, not the president or myself, to say how great it shall be. As you go to your homes. you will speak he 1 word that will help to determine this question.
 "The greatest things that the navy is doing are not heralded. Since the war began, there is not an officer in any department of the navy who has not taken advantage of the lessons taught by the war. Experiments are proceeding day and night, and today in every element our navy has no superior in the world. We do have superiors in size and numbers, and it is for us to continue to strengthen our navy.
 'I believe we ought to increase our navy steadily so that in time of stress and emergency, the real first strong arm of our country will be ready to defend our country if it is attacked from any quarter"
 Governors on the Wyoming.
 The Wyoming picked up the gov ernOrs at the Charlestown navy yard and, taking a position a few miles east of Boston Light, became the tar get of attack by twenty-five torpedo boat destroyers after they had passed in review with ten battleships.
 Admiral Fletcher had prepared sev- , cral surprises for his passengers, which included the wives and staffs of the 1 visiting governors and former gov ernOrs. The torpedo boat flOtilla | piloSeu the H1SSnlp at a instance or 300 yards and then disappeared. They | were followed in double column by the 1 battleships headed by the Arkansas 1 and the Utah. After the review ;rp- l peare0 to have ended the destrOyerS 1 suddenly reappcartd in the east.
 Torpedo Misses Wyoming.
 On the flagship a general alarm 1 against torpedo attack was sounded l and soon the big guns of the Wyoming 1 began to fire black shots at the on :! rushing deStrOyers. The latter cirCled ! the flagship, pouring forth dense vol ! Umes of smoke made by excessive use 1 of oil Soon the destrOyers were hid- 1 den behind the black cloud that iso- l lated the flagship.

"oUEEN EsTHER' IS
 PLAYED BEFORE PACKED
 HOUSE AZ LYRIc THEATRE

DOUGLAS. Oct 2S.-The initial per. formancQ. Of Queen Esther at the Lyric theatre last night scored big success and gives promise of playing to a packed house again tonight. The music is excellent throughout and the costumes and special scenery carry with them the atmosphere Of the court and Oriental rulers of ancient times
 The story of Queen Esther" is talk en from the book of Esther in the Bi- ble and tells of the rise Of the Jewish maiden from obscurity to the highest position of Q woman in the kingdom Of the Medes and Perisians. and of how she saved her people from an- initiation at the hands of Haman. the chief advisor to King Ahasuerus.
 Mrs. L. B. Wright sang the part of Queen Esther" in a very pleasing manner, while the part of the King was sustained with dignity by F. R.. Reynolds. Miss Elizabeth Hopper. as Zeresh. the wife of Haman showed great histrionic ability coupled with an excellent voice. Haman as person. fled by c. D Grier. was the cunning and ambitious prime minister in the flesh. Dr. R. v. Ellis. as Mordecai. the Jew. loomed up like Q professional and Mrs. W. P. Cahill in the part of Mordecars sister. sang several diff cult solos very well. Mrs F. II. Le Noir. Mrs. F. M Reynolds and Miss Lucia Shaffer as the Meridian and Per sian Princesses and the Prophecies. were very good and Miss May Parker in the role Of Beggar deserves special mention. All the others in the cast acquitted themselves creditably The chorus worked well together and show cd none of the difiidence SO common in amateur performances. The tri- umphal march and scarf drill in the last act was very pretty Mr. Robin son. the director. deserves a great deal of credit for the work accom- piished in SO short a time.
 A large number of the musical peo- pie of Juneau were in the audience last night and a special ferry was run to Juneau after the performance.
 Queen Esther will be repeated at the Lyric Theatre under the auspices of the Douglas Island Women's Club.

AENoRicKsoN ANSWERS
 RUMMELS COMPLAINT

In the answer which has been filed by W. K. Hendrickson in connection with the suit recently instituted against him by J. w. Rummell, charg- ing that Hendricl1son had failed to pay @ commission of $15 which he had promised Rummen for selling some real estate Hendrickson states that it had been agreed between himself and Rummen that if the house was sold and he thereby acquired some ready money he would make a substantial payment upon note which he had given Rummell for S1175. It was stip- ulated in the note that the payment was to be made at the rate of S25 per month. Hendrickson charges that he agreed to pay the sum of $500 on the note and charges that no commission was agreed upon for the selling of the real estate. He therefore asks that the suit be dismissed

NO HOPE FOR KETCHIKANS
 MISSING MEN


 Word received yesterday afternoon from Ketchikan is that alI hop, of the discovery alive of Charles A. Clark, who had charge of the gas boat Fran ces R.. l. N Irwin. Of the United States fisheries service. and Mike De Costa. the cook. has been abandoned, though many boats, including the gniied States lighthouse tender Kukui and the forest boat Tahn, have searched the waters in the vicinity Of Chicka- men river and Belle island
 The Ketchikan Progressive-1iiner of Monday contains the following con- cerning the search for the missing men:
 The forest service boat Tahn re- turned last evening from the search of the missing gas boat Frances R., and Capt Biodgett reports that the Creel found the Frances R ashore at the mouth of the Chickamon river yesterday morning, but found none of the party who were out with her.
 When the Tahn arrived on the scene the tide was in and the boat was entirely submerged, but when 3iessrs. Roeselle and Churchill found her, the pilot house was out of the water and they went on board but found no signs of anyone, though they were unable to get down in the cabin The boats compass and ding ey were gone, indicating that the par ty had taken to the small boat after the larger one got into trouble A search along the beach disclosed the fact that there had been a small camp pire for Q short time and stew pan belonging to the Frances R. was found near it with the remains of a meal in it. also mattress, which may have noated out of the pilot house.
 From the indications around the old camp fire they were unable to deter mine how many there were in the party that landed there.
 lt is feared that after making the camp that they took to the small boat and tried to make Belle Island Hot Springs or the Roe Point Cannery and that they were capsized
 An examination of Che old cabins up on the Chickamon river indicated that they had not been occupied for several weeks and the cabins at the mouth of the Unyuk river yielded the same results.
 The Tahn left the Creel there and at next low tide they expected to be able to make a more thorough exam nation of the boat and learn wheth- CT the party took their guns and blankets with them when they desert- ed the boat
 Owing to the length of time they have been missing there is but little hope of finding them alive. This morning J. R. Heckman sent out the A. p A. boat Falcon, and George Roun- senfel sent out the Olympic, to make a thorough search Of the shore line for the party or wrecSage of their small boat.
 As stated in Saturdays Progressive Miner. the Frances R. left KetchilSan on October sch. in charge of Sandy" Clark. with j. N Irwin of tho U S. Fisheries Commission and Mike De Costa as cook on board intending to return in four days. Nothing more was seen or heard or them tim the Tahn and Creel went out to search for them with the above results.
