NEWPORT. r. T.. June 26.-Revo-
'utionary changes in naval warfare
methods must be devised TO bring
the United States navy up to date.
Secretary Daniels declared today. In
q speech that at times bordered on
the sensational. he told the naval
war college that the submarines de-
velopment and the airship's utility
have held England's great navy be-
hind landlocked barriers for the first
year of the great world war. Old
things have passed away. he assert
ed, and he called on the members Of
the college to md the new weapons
which will make the American navy
the greatest weapon of ofiense and
defense in the world. Those who
heard HIS speech interpreted It as a
plea for great fleets Of sea-going sub
marines and aerial craft.
Holding wisely to what is good
in The past" said the naval secre-
tary, ito such principles only as
stand the acid test of this great war,
do not fear 10 cast aside what have
proven to be mere shackles OF con-
vention and daringiy to 90 forward"
Daniels promised that no effort il
to be spared TO increase the navy's
efficiency. The officers In attend
ance we're told that, while congress
Is "from Missouri" and must "be
shown" It will appropriate all OF the
money required for defense n the
college will justify the reasons.
After praising the work OF the
feet and the showing II made at
the recent New York review, Sec
Rotary Daniels said:
I'm personnel and material the
navy Is larger than ever before. It's
men are trained and ne. It's ex-
perts are ready to remedy past de-
fects and take advantage of all that
has been learned from the develop
ments in Europe OF actual war"
Daniels declared the navy will
never be satisfied with what has
been accomplished. He declared
that II was now "open-minded" and
no suggestions we're rejected. The
idealist AZ well as the inventor now

READERS NAME BIGGEST FAKE,
WHATS YOUR IDEA?

Well! Well! Well! They are coming
in with their guesses on what is the
greatest fake in Chicago. Everybody
is going to learn a little before we
get through with this.
Besides the candidates mentioned
yesterday, several new ones are
named in letters to The Day Book
today. Answering the question,
what is the Greatest Fake in Chi
cago?" these are among the first bal
lots in the preferential voting:
w. H. Lathrop, 1913 S. Wood ST.,
sends in the following:
1-Partisan politics in municipal
elections.
2-MunicipaI Voters league.
3-The ads of the loop stores in

Kennedy read a statement from
Poor's financial manual. In 1913, it
stated, the surplus of Armour & Co.
was $84,000,00O. The net income for
the same year was 81, 356,0OO.
He gave the numbers of houses in
the $500 block on Latin street where
seven men and nine women died in
one year from tuberculosis. In 1908
1909 there were 429 deaths of per-
sons between 16 and so years of age
from tuberculosis. In the district
1928 per cent of deaths are from tu-
berculosis. One out of three children
die before two years of age. The
death rate is seven times that of the
University of Chicago district, half
hours walk distant.
Crowded housing, cheap food. ir-
regular work, breathing fertilizer dust
and working where water drips from
above into work rooms are among
causes OF the high death rate from
tuberculosis, it was stated

Here they are:
at seems to me the greatest fake
in Chicago las well as in other big
cities) are the cunningly trimmed and
decorated department store windows,
especially those of Marshall Field,
Mandel Bros, Stevens, etc.
Just observe philosophically the
crowd of poor $6-a-week working
girls standing and gazing for hours
at the 500 to $4,000 gowns of the
latest design put out in those win
dows. What is the purpose of exhib-
iting these costly gowns?
Those who can afford to buy these
gowns would not disgrace themselves
by rubbing elbows with the Cheap
crowd around the windows, but in
stead are ushered right into the sam
pie parlor as they step out of their
automobiles.
why should money-mad mer-
chants, who manage to squeeze every
possible cent from their stores, waste
enormously valuable space on State
st. just to show the crowds what
gowns are worn by the rich?
"Is it merely to create jealousy,
envy and animosity in the hearts of
the poor daughters of the toilers and
thus indirectly hint to them to sell
their bodies for the sake of enjoying
wearing such gowns?
''Psychologically the temptation is
indeed very strong, and if this it not
the cunning intention of the big
stores, then their window shows are
the most atrocious fakes every intro
duced in a civilized community"

CHIEF FIRES ''SON"
in DRAMATIC STYLE

Harold Russell, age IS, who
was given a home by Chief Of
Police and Mrs. A. p. LOOMS sew
eral months ago, and who caused
a sensation recently by keeping
two young girls at the Loomis
summer home near Day island all
night, was arrested late last night
by Patrolman Kenna on a war
rant charging larceny.
The youth is accused of having
converted to his own use "a be-
longing to John Anderson, q jit-

been working.
Following Russell's arrest, 1t

At the conclusion of the hear

western lines of the Northern Pa
cific, announced himself as we'll

expressed his confidence that no
one would bring a suit against
either company.
What II Means
Admittedly, IL it be proved
that the wreck was avoidable,
the two railways will be sued for
damages into the hundreds Of
thousands, and one of them. and
maybe both of them, will be
obliged to pay.
On the other hand, If the un-
availability is proved, the rail-
ways will be in a position to bar

with the victims, If they are liv-

suits, and force settlements

neither, and rivals only IL it is

SOUSA'S BAND
WILL PLAY In
THE STADIUM

John Philip Sousa and his ia
nous band will give a band fes-
tiyal of two concerts in the Ia
coma Stadium on the evenings of
July 81 and 20, at the popular
price of rs cents.
When the March King com.
pletes his engagement at the ex-
position, and he is far and away
the greatest band attraction that
has been there, he will come
north for short tour, and Ia
coma Is to present him and his
artists in two Of his finest pro-
grams.
1t is expected that thousands
of people will throng the city for
the event.
The arrangement is the out
come of the music festival idea,
which was found too large to
handle this season. The COM
mittee was asked to investigate,
and II possible, procure some
thing to take the place of the fes-
tival concerts. -
The engagement Of Sousa was
felt to be the best possible at
traction for the season, coming
as 1t does at the most favorable
date Of the summer, and at o
price that will place it. within
reach Of all.

URGES JUDGE

Believing that the franchise or

cross Tacoma ave at seth St.
would be taken up today, a large
delegation of South End residents
appeared in the council chamber.
The franchise is still in the
hands of a council committee, and
will be acted upon next week.
Judge w. A. Reynolds, one of
those attracted to the council
room, declared that when he was
city attorney many years ago he
had fought for an ordinance de-

MILLS
FIRES
BROWN

City Detective A. C. Brown,
appointed to the detective de-
partment of the Tacoma police by
Chief Dudley in 1907, was dis
charged by Commissioner Mills
Tuesday afternoon "for cause"
A notice of Browns discharge
was mailed to him at Los An-
~geles.
The cause of Detective
Browns discharge is contained in
Mills statement today that the
detectives photograph was found
displayed in a prominent place in
a Tacoma redlight house; that
the detective left his three prize
winning collie dogs in charge OF
a fallen woman, and that Brown
had accepted Outside" money
from resorts on Market, Opera
court and Broadway.
Officers of the police depart
ment say Brown asked sick leave
several months ago, claiming to
have tuberculosis.
Said Not to Be Ill.
The police department opened
a subscription paper. all of the
officers giving not less than 81
to defray expenses for the sick
detective.
1t has been learned since, ac-
cording to Chief LOOMS and 9TH
er high officials in the police de-
partment, that Brown is not suf-
fering from tuberculosis. Brown
and his wife and daughter are
keeping house in Los Angeles,
and the Tacoma detective recent
ly applied for a position on the
Los Angeles police department, It
is reported.
Sells Property.
Before his recent illness in
Tacoma, and his sudden depar-
ture for California, Brown is said
to have spent money freely In
downtown cafes. He is known to
have recently begun wearing an
immense diamond ring.
Brown sold out all his property
and possessions before going
south, II is said. He told friends,
1t is reported, that he never in
tended to return to his duties on
the Tacoma police force.
