 OWNED BY GOVERNMENT
 With view to meeting these pressing necessities of our commerce and availing ourselves at the earliest possible moment of the present unparalled opportunity of linking the two Americas together in bonds of mutual interest and service, an opportunity which may never return again if we miss 1t now, proposals will be made to the present Congress for the purchase or construction of ships to be owned and directed by the government similar to those made to the last Congress, but mod flied in some essential particulars. 1 recommend these proposals to you for your prompt acceptance with the more confidence because every month that has elapsed since the former proposals were made has made the necessity for such action more and more manifestly impera- tive. That need was then foreseen; it is now acutely felt and everywhere realized by those for whom trade is waiting but who can find no conveyance for their goods. I am not so much interested in the particulars of the programme as am in taking immediate advantage of the great opportunity which awaits us if we will but act in this emergency. In this matter, as in all others, spirit of com mon counsel should prevail and out of it should come an early solution of this messing nrni1lar1

ISLAND POSSESSIONS

There is another matter which seems to
 me to be very intimately associated with
 the question of national safety and prepa-
 ration for defense. That is our policy to-
 ward the Philippines and the people of
 Porto Rico. Our treatment of them and their attitude toward us are manifestly of the first consequence in the develop ment of our duties in the world and in getting a free hand to perform those du-
 ties. We must be free from every un- necessary burden or embarrassment, and there is no better way to be clear of em-
 barraSsment than to fulfill our promises
 and promote the interests of those depend ent on us to the utmost. Bills for the
 alteration and reform of the government
 of the Philippines and for rendering fuller
 political justice to the people of Porto
 Rico were submitted to the Sixty-third Congress. They will be submitted also to
 you. l need not particularze their de-
 tails. You are most of you already fa-
 miliar with them. But I do recommend
 them to your early adoption with the sin-
 cere conviction that there are few meas
 ures you could adopt which would more serviceably clear the way for the great policies by which we wish to make good, now and always, our right to lead in en- terprises of peace and good will and eco homie and political freedom
 The pans for the armed forces of the nation which I have outlined, and for the general olicy of adequate rearation for mobilization and defense, involve of course, very large additional expenditures of money-expenditures which will con- siderably exceed the estimated reveiues of the government. It is made my duty by law, whenever the estimates of ex- penditure exceed the estimates of reve- nue, to call the attention of the Congress to the fact and suggest any means of meeting the deficiency that it may be wise or possible for me to suggest, am ready to believe that it would be my
 duty to do so in any case; and I feel par ticularly bound to speak of the matter when it appears that the deficiency will arise directly out of the adoption by the Congress of measures which myself urge it to adopt. Allow me, therefore, to speak briefly of the present state of the treas ury and of the fiscal problems which the next year will probably disclose.
 STATUS OF TREASURY
 On June 30 last there was an available balance in the general fund of the treas ury of 10417O, 1O5.7S. The total estimated

But armies and instruments of war are only part of what has to be con- sidered if we are to consider the supreme matter of national self sufficiency and security in all it's aspects.

Ordinance for
New City Charter
Commission Soon

The initiative committee of the Greater
Omaha charter committee at the city hall
last evening reported that within a short
time there will be introduced at a city
council meeting an ordinance providing
for calling an election of charter com
mission OF fifteen members.
Il w. Sinnett, chairman OF this special
committee. explained that j. ]. Breen
and City Attorney Rine have agreed that
the present laws on the subject do not
provide for election machinery for this
commission. hence the proposed ordi-
nance.
1t is proposed to hold but one election,
making filings of candidates equivalent
to nominations and thus save the expense
of a primary election.
Secretary Greevy was directed to advise
the commissioners that the Greater
Omaha charter committed intends to ffle
an initiative petition for the calling OF the
election in question should the council
fail to pass the ordinance mentioned.

HANDS OFF," SAYS
GEORGIA GOVERNOR
Executive Asserts People of State
Resent Outside Criticism or
Interference,
THEY WILL CONDUCT INQUIRY


ATLANTA, Ca, Aug. Glow
ernor Harris let II be known today
that the people Of Georgia would re-
sent outside interference or advice in
dealing with conditions growing out
of the lynching Of Leo NJ. Frank.
He said:
eff the members Of the mob are
brought to justice II will be through
the efforts of Georgia officials and
courts, supported by the sentiment OF
the citizens of the state and not
through the newspaper editorials and
resolutions of indignation and offers
of rewards coming from other states.
II am afraid these things win only
serve to aggravate a situation that al
ready Is deeply humniating to our people
and II they continue VIII: eventuate In
great deal more harm than good"
Announces Conference.
So far as the public is advised, the only
forward step taken in connection with
the lynching today was the announce
ment that the governor soon would ask
the prosecuting officials OF Baldwin and
Cobb counties to confer with him on
what future action shall be taken. The
state prison farm is IN Baldwin county
and Franks hanging, so far as known
took place in Cobb county.
Apparently the only tangible investisa-
ton Of the lynching actually under way
is that being conducted by Coroner
Booth Of Cobb county. who empanelled
jury soon after he cut down Franks
body last Thursday morning. but post
poned the sitting for q week.
Coroner Booth said today that he had
discovered only two witnesses who had
seen the lynching party In automobiles.
One of these witnesses is William Frey,
but neither was able to fix the identity
of any member of the party. Frank was
recognized, they say. because OF his only
partly clad figure. The lynchers wore
heavy automobile goggles which effec-
lively served the purpose of masks.
Tree IL Covered.
MARIETTA, Ga, Aug. n.-The trunk
of the tree to which Leo NJ. Frank was
hanged was covered today with cotton
bagging. Mr.. Frey. owner of the tree,
said this was done to protect the bark
from souvenir hunters. Men from the
nearby cotton gin guard the tree day and
night
The owner said today he had been Of
fered as high as $3.50 for the tree. but had
refused to sell.
IT don't need the money" said he,
land. besides, Mary Phagan's folks don't
want that tree cut down. Some of her
people came out here today. They Rugged
and patted the trunk Of that old tree for
long time"
Mrs. Frank ColIapses.
NEW YORK, Aug. H.-Mrs Lucille
Frank, wife OF Leo M. Frank, who was
lynched at Marietta, Ga. collapsed today
after the burial of her husband. She re-
manned calm and restrained until the
service had been concluded.
The automobile hearse and the cars
carrying relatives of the dead raced at
high speed from the Frank home to the
cemetery in a vain effort to elude news
paper men and photographers. Curious
crowds gathered at the home and the
grave.
