TAFT MAKES PLEA
FOR STRONGER NAVY
CONTINUED From Page ~

"The program have proposed, he
said, modest as it Is, will certainly In
crease the annual total of the army
and navy appropriations by $150,o00,-
600 perhaps $3.50, 100000 for each of
three years and probably moro.
This leaves 1925, 100000 at least OF
necessary income to be provided for
by new legislation of congress over
and above what existing law would
probably produce. This could be part
ly made up by the renewal Of the war
tax and of the sugar tax, yielding say
1925, 1000. There would be left from
$50 900, 900 to 5000, 100000 of deficit
still to be provided for either by cut
ting down expenses or by additional
taxation"
Mr.. Taft suggested that expenses
could be cut down by giving authority
and responsibility to one body OF men
to consider the whole field of govern
ment income and expenditure.
A large sum, he said would under
any circumstances have to be raised
by taxation. AS republican, he said,
he believed that q change of policy to
higher protective tariff would serve.
most satisfactorily but that he would
not urge it because:
II am trying to make practical sug-
gestions and not partisan speech, and
/ am looking to what may reasonably
be demanded of a patriotic democratic
congress in view Of the present impera-
tive need Of increasing our national In
come and their anti-protection views.
"The imposition Of small tax on
small incomes asks sacrifice from
our patriotic citizens that they will be
willing to make II our politicians have
the courage to impose 1t and explain
the imperative necessity.
"The payment of a tax however,
small, makes q man better citizen.
To assume that the plain people are
unwilling to pay increased taxes IN
case of nationtl need Is to distrust
them and to ascribe to them the lowest
motive for political action.
LET us exclude politics from the
question of preparedness. Let us &C
cept the cost. Let us insist that con-
gress and the administration manifest
the courage to incur the odium OF un-
thinking and unpatriotic men who
would resent contributing to such a
cause. Let us insist that the congress
and the administration shall defer to
the Judgment of real expert naval and
army officers and boards as to how we
should prepare and shall not allow the
dangerous little knowledge of commit
tee chairmen and civilian politicians,
ignorant of our needs to obstruct the
work of proper national defense"

BRITISH CRUISER
SUNK BY GERMANS

Berlin, Sept. 3. (By wireless to
Tuckerton, N. J.)-The German ad-
miralty made public today further de-
tails of the naval engagement on Aug
ust II off the Jutland coast, in which
q small British cruiser and British
destroyer are said to have been sunk
by German torpedo boats. This state
ment, the Overseas News agency says,
was elected by the assertion Of the
British minister at Bucharest that the
German official report concerning the
incident was an invention.
"The British forces were complete
ly surprised by the attack Of German
torpedo boats the admiralty says
"A cruiser belonging to the Aurora
class sank within four minutes. The
destroyer went down immediately on
being hit by torpedo"

MEETS DEATH At |:
PACKING HOUSE
GUSTAV A. HILL DIES ALMOST
INSTANTLY; PRESUMED he
WAS ELEcTRocUrED.
HOLD AN AUTOPSY.
Doctors Examine Body and Find IL in
Best Of Physical Condition; In
quest Does Not Determine
Cause.

Gustaf A. Hill. carpenter employed
at the John Morrell & Co. packing
house, was almost instantly killed
Thursday evening about $50 o'clock
while at work in the fertilizing depart
ment. An inquest was held over the re-
mains this morning and the jury
agreed that the man came to his death
presumably by electrocution. An au-
topsy was held by Doctors f. 4. Edg.
erly and M. Bannister. who testified at
the inquest that the man was in the
best of physical condition and could
not definitely state whether death was
caused by the shock or not.
Were Piastsrins Wall.
Mr.. Hill and F. b. Leighton were en-.
gagged in plastering brick wall In
the fertilizing department An extern
sion light, the cord Of which was about
twenty feet long, was carried by the
men to give light. When they men had
completed their work down to the
ground line Mr.. Hill unwound the cord
so as to bring the light down to q
lower level. Mr.. Leighton heard Mr..
Hill cry Turn 1t off, and looking
around saw him holding the cord with
both hands. He shouted through the
partition to workmen and the current
was cut off as Mr.. Hill fell to the floor.
He was carried outside and DR.. 3. 7.
Edgerly called. The physician used ar
tiflcial respiration and hypodermic
injection in an effort to revive the man
but life was extinct.
Connection Broken.
A connection on the extension war
broken, part Of the copper being ex-<
posed and it is thought that Mr.. Hill
while holding the cord took hold Of 1t.
The highest voltage that he could have
70 oil iOi0 e. n
the plant, would be 1870 to 125 volts. "A
test was made by connecting the cord
to an iron rod driven into the brick
floor where Mr.. Hill was standing and
the testing instrument showed only 81
volts while at spot few feet away
the rod was driven into the dirt and
registered 11S volts.
Hold an Autopsy.
Doctors Edgerly and Bannister who
conducted the autopsy found the man
to have been in the best OF physical
condition and stated upon the witness
stand this morning that IL they had
not known that the. man was holding
an electric wire they would be at q loss
to state the manner and nature OF his
death. No burns were evident at any
place on the body as is customary with
death by electricity and aside from
small bruised place on the right tenn
pie the body was not SCARED.
III Jury Not Determined.
The Jury which was composed Of g.
s. Thompson, g. L. Flowers and George
Diltz, after hearing the testimony of
the doctors and several witnesses came
to the conclusion that death was
caused presumably by electrocution.
Funeral Sunday.
Mr.. Hill was t.,irty-two years OF age
and leaves wife and four children,
Dorothy, Alice, Leonard and Violet.
The funeral will be held Sunday Aft
ernoon at 2 o'clock from the residence,

from the Swedish M. e. church, con-
Quoted by Rev. A. E. Swedberg. Inter-
ment will be made in the Ottumwa

STATISTICS PREPARED BY T. A. STOESSEL
SHOW WORLDS PRODUCTION OF PETROLEUM

Theodore A. Stoessel president and
general manager of the Stoessel OIL
Works has prepared some statistics
which are OF especial interest to the
users Of gasoline. He says that for
eisn countries, now on account OF the
war, are practically eliminated from
the worlds production and 1t Is up to
the United States to supply the bulk OF
Of the worlds demands for petroleum
and its products. He also says that
production In this country is now de-
creasing; mentioning the Gushing.

production for the year Of 1913 was
nearly as large as that for 1914 and the
