Engineer of National Parks)
a RATER LAKE National park has
M been termed by many the eighth
81 wonder of the world. Nesting
n in the heart of q great noun
tain which, in ages past. was a
living volcano, 5000 feet above the
sea, with its sapphire surface unruf-
fed, rejecting the many-hued surfaces
Of the 1000 feet high crater walls
which surrounded it, it is undoubtedly
one Of the most exquisite gems Of
color to be found in the world. It's
blue surpasses the blue Of the Bay of
Naples in richness and intensity and
its somewhat weird surroundings,
pregnant with mystery and solitude,
are in perfect harmony with the placid
repose of its surface.
There are glaciers in many coUn-
tries, high peaks, water falls, cascades,
forests and fields of wild flowers to be
found i'll many lands, but there is only
one Crater lake individuality is as
difficult Of attainment in scenery as it
is in persons, and in Crater Lake Ma
tional park one finds it to an extreme
degree
The people Of the United States are
particularly fortunate in the posses
sion of their national parks in that al
most every one OF them has marked
and striking individuality and con
tains within it's boundaries some fea-
lures which will leave a lasting inn
preston and will be a source Of joy
and pleasure when other things are
forgotten; but of all the sights that
can be had in the scenic reservations
Df our country, perhaps none will
strike the observer with such force

SLAvS DISAPPOINTED
AT WESTERN ALLIES
Russia Feels That France and
Great Britain Should Start
Great Drive at This Time.
By J. w. r. MASON.

NEW YORK, July 21.-The inability
Of England and France to develop a
strong offensive on the western bat
tie front Is causing much unfavor-
able comment in Russia. The slavs
declare they are being sacrificed to
tho continued unpreparedness Of their
allies and a suggestion is finding
favor at Petrograd that a single
board of military control be appoint
ed with supreme command over all
the allied armies.
Neither France nor England Is will
ing to agree to this proposal. which,
in reality, is a strong criticism Of the
reluctance of the western nations to
coordinate their strategy. Lack of
coordination, in fact. has worked
immense damage to the allies during
the past year.
Neither nation is willing to subor-
dinate its own desires for the good OF
the whole. since that might result In
a disproportionate gain for one ally
alone.
Germany is taking advantage to the
full Of the individualism which DOM
mates the allies plans. The Germans. IN
this respect, have played In great luck.
The fact that England and France must
be content to sit idly by and watch Rus

FIRES ON WARSH|PS
mot WORK OF SPIES
Secretary Of Navy Daniels Says
He Does Not Suspect Hos.
tile Persons.

Secretary Of the Navy Daniels today
believe that recent fires on American
warships. such as the fire on the Okla
homa. at Camden, were caused by ef-
forts Of hostile persons.
II have no reason to believe the fires
on our vessels. of which there have
been three Of late, have been due to
any hostile purpose said Secretary
Daniels. ....
He received long report Of the su-
perintending naval constructor at Cam
den on the Oklahoma fire. 1t says the
origin OF the fire was q mystery, but
does not suggest It was deliberately
started. The following is a summary
Of the report:
Fire observed on board $50 p. M,
July 10. Smoke from locality handling
room Of No turret. Fire in fourteen
inch magazines and fourteen-inch shell
rooms. Dense smoke issuing from vari-
Gus matches. Necessary flood those
compartments.
"on account Of matches being open In
hrst and second platforms, fire could not
be reached until practically the whole Of
the ship in this location was fflled up
to the first platform. Before flooding
inner bottom to third deck from about
frame 20 aft to frame 81 Fire finally
extinRuished about 8 a. m. Detailed re-
port Of damage not possible until water
removed and examination made Now
pumping out. Believe origin Of fire was
In fourteen-inch magazine. Several
hulkheads badly warped. Some deck
plating may require renewal. All elcc-
tic wiring. piping operating gears. ven
ulation pipes, and other systems. also
cork insulation throughout the COM
Dartments In which fire occurred. are
practically destroyed.
THE origin Of the fire appears to be a
mystery. 1t Is believed that it may have
been due to defective insulation of cleo
trio wiring. around the magazines. or
due to carelessness of some workman In
dropping lighted matches or cigarette
butts.
The principal fuel on which the fire
BURIED appears to be the cork insulation
Of decks and bulkheads. although con-
siderable stage plank and other in
hammable dunnage was in these spaces

assistant district attorney. s and and rc-
Gently appointed city magistrate.
Beckers tale suggests that the gam.
blers looked to them as political
friends upon whose aid they could
count.
In the statement which Becker wrote
for the governor he uses the language
and the abbr.viations OF a police lieu,
tenant making entries on the record

writes not r,.ls but brief declarations OF Of

pared by w. Bourke Cochran. Of Heck

opments Of the Rosenthai tragedy be-
fore and after the murder are discussed.

"Becker has written out his entire
case himself and Is going to lay 1t
before Governor whitman for what
ever action the governor sees mt TO
take after examining It," Mr.. Cock
ran said. He would not add anything
to this statement.
It seems quite evident. however. that
the Becker papers presented to the
governor are expected to operate as
an appeal to public opinion. They
represent the first story Of the Rosen-
thai murder and the events that led
up to 1t from Becker's own lips. He
never before has told 1t.

Becker to prove that he was not at

NEW YORK, July 21.-Charles Becker's
own version of the murder Of Gambler
Herman Rosenthal, for which the form
er police lieutenant Is sentenced to die
a week from today. was given to Gov
ernor Whitman at Albany today by the
doomed mans counsel in an eleventh
hour attempt to gain executive
clemency.'
Your political future depends on my

nence was built on my conviction he
declares, Thus / ask you to forbid
execution on the ground that my guilt
of this murder is not established so
clearly as to justify the taking OF a
human life by the public executioner."
The convicted lieutenant asserts that
the late Timothy d. Sullivan gave him
to understand that Police Commissioner
Rhinelander Waldo, at Sullivan's inter-
cession, had approved police leniency
toward the operations OF Rosenthal and
so began the plots and counterplots OF
the underworld which finally resulted
in the shooting Of the gambler and the

Alabama Tax Commission Hears Com plnints-Vnnishing Florist Being Traced

Huntsville, September 7.-(Special For the purpose of hearing kicks by some 2c0O property owners whose as sessments have been raised in the az gregate about si,000, ,00o the Alabama tax commission has begun its sitting here and will probably remain in ses- sion about two weeks. Hon. Lawrence Cooper, representing the property own CTS. made a protest against the ac- tion of the commission in sending an agent to Madison county to raise the assessments He said that the assess ment of lands in this county place an average value of $9.70 per acre. count ing all character of lands, higher than the assessment of any other agricul- tural county in Alabama. Raises have been made in Madison county for sev- eral years past, he said, and the bur den of taxation is becoming too heavy Tor the owners of farm lands in this county. lie suggested that the commits sion go somewhere else and do some raising until the assessments are placed as high as they are in Madison county.
 John Scott, the florist and horticulturis. who disappeared from his home in Hunts vile Saturday, has been traced to Swan colt. where he crossed the Tennessee rlNer. The police in towns throughout the section southwest of this city have been notified to be on the lookout for the missing man. Scott is believed to be tenn porarily deranged. He had been i'll sev- eral weeks and had been allowed out of his room only two or three days previous to his disappearance.
 Dr. $. J. Baker of St. Augustine, Fla, Las accepted the call of the First Baptist church of Huntsville to become it's pas- tor. Dr. Baker has been here on a visit for two weeks past and has preached both at the First Baptist church and the union services.
