Swift Cruisers to
be Added to
American Fleet
viii Cost $1s,ooo,o0o to Construct
and Equip. Number As Yet
Undecided

Washington, Oct. 4.-superb bat.
tie cruisers. bigger, faster and more
heavily armed than any war craft
now afloat or building, and which
will cost $1s,OOO,OO0 each to construct
and equip, will be recommended to
Congress as a part Of the navy build
ing program for next year.
This decision was reached today
at a conference between President
Wilson, Secretary Daniels and Rep.
resentative Padgett, chairman OF the
House naval affairs committee.
Plans for such type of vessel as
is contemplated already have been
prepared under the direction OF Rear
Admiral David w. Taylor, chief con.
structor OF the navy and now are be.
ing considered by the secretary and
members Of the general board.
Number Undecided
Just how many OF the new type
ships will be asked for this winter
has not been determined, Secretary
Daniels said. Cost of construction
of navy craft has risen since the
outbreak of the European war with
the consequent enormous demand up
on American resources, some recent
steel contracts for the navy showing
an increase Of 80 per cent over pre-
vious prices.
Dreadnoughts, which also will be
recommended for construction this
winter will cost $1s,0OO,OO0 each, 1t
is estimated, as against $l5,OOO,OOO
for those now building. Part OF this
increase, however, is due to new hull
construction to provide for greater
protection against torpedo attack.
The number OF ships OF each class
to be urged probably will be agreed
upon within few days. Secretary
Daniels continued tonight his confer
ence with Representative Padgett
and he will see President Wilson
again probably this week. The es'
Inmates by law, must be in the hands
to the secretary OF the treasury by
October 10.

PHYSICIAN LOST IN
TETON FOREST
Or. w. c. Ransom Of Mil City, Ore
gon, Has Been Missing Since
September 18

Ogden, Oct. 4.-Dr. w. G. Ran
son, practicing physician of Mill
City. Oregon, has been lost in the
Teton forest since September
IS, and efforts to find him had prov
ed fruitless up until October 1, ac-
cording to advices received by the
district forest services here today.
Foresters informed the headquarters
that a large party, including rela.

ing.
Under the guidance OF Dell Judd OF
Wilson. Wyoming, Ransom was hunt
ing elk In the Jackson Hole country.
The pack horses strayed during the
night Of September IT, and on the
following day the guide set out TO
recover them, telling Ransom that he
would meet him in three hours at
the place where the first elk was
killed.
1t was seven houre before Judd,
the guide, recovered the horses and
reached the appointed place. Ransom
was not there. The guide waited
through the night, firing his rifle at
intervals. On the morning OF the
10th the guide found Ranson's shirt
and camera at the spot designated
for the meeting. Later ne found
tracks leading into a dry wash and
also an exploded cartridge that ap.
peared to have been jammed in a gun.
He found no tracks out OF the wash.
Fifty or more men. including for
esters, have been riding the hills
since September 20, but have found
no traces. Ranson's wife and child
and two brothers arrived in Jackson
Hole, October /, and are conducting
further search.

Plans for the battle cruisers, Mr..
Daniels said contemplated a speed
OF 80 knots an hour. They will be
faster than eny but the swiftest de-
stroyers. In land terms, they will
equal the speed OF railway trains
making more. than forty miles an hour
In size they will equal the largest
American dreadnoughts now building
and far exceed any now afioat.
The armament has not been decid
ed upon, but it probably will be equ-
al to or greater than that of present
day dreadnoughts. It is understood
that some officers believe each ship
should carry twelve IA inch. so cali.
Der rifles, but 1t Is possible taat q
lesser number OF guns may be mount
or that the new is inch rife, the
largest naval gun yet developed, may
be used. In that case probably only
six or eight big guns would be
mounted.
All the items of the forthcoming
navy estimates we're considered at
today's conferences. Secretary Dan.
iels declined 20 disclose other details
Of plans. He intimated, however,
that building program for the sub
marine fotilla would be urged that
would make possible an inner line of
defense along both coasts to be main.
tanned by submersibles operating
from bases established at necessary
interval on both the Atlantic and the
Pacific shore lines.
The secretary said that Recently,
when submarines were at the height
OF their activity In the European war
the pendulum of public opinion had
swung too far In favor Of submarines
and that the tendency now would be
to swing 1t too far the other way.
The navy plans, he declared, would
not make either error. He added
that the value of submersibles for
defense of the wide reaches of coast
line on both shores could hardly be
overestimated.
Swift Scouts to Come Later
The mission OF the navy, as 1t Is
discussed In navy war college prob
lem always has been regarded as
defense OF the United States. With
efforts being made to foster the mer'
chant marine, however, and with tae
Monroe doctrine to uphold and the
Panama canal to defend the officers
think that the time has come when
the navy should be given the same
tools to fight with that possible enc
mics might have.
Recent maneuvers, 1t is said, have
brought out sharply the need OF both
swift scouts and lighting SHIPS. 1t
is regarded as improbable that the
estimates this year will include rec

the cruiser destroyers, which have
been included in appropriation bills
for several years. For the present
1t is thought the cruiser destroyers
can fill the place of especially de-
signed scouts. although later many
high speed light cruisers will be
sought to round out the navy. With
enormous coast lines to guard, such
craft are viewed as absolutely neces-
sary to a well balanced fleet.

week, none of the matters up being
of a general news interest.

captain last month, was ready with
his resignation this. Mr.. Strickland
hadn't been accustomed to this kind

resignation, which was accepted, and
C. w. Bowen and Mr.. Hinson were
appointed in his place.

Claude c. Jarrett's Death.

The Evansville (Ind.) Courier of
Oct. 9th, thus speaks of the death
of Claude Jarrett of Boonville, Ind,
who some two months ago left Pa
latka to be with his parents in his
old home during his illness:
"The untimely death of Claud Jar
rett, a prominent young man, which
occurred Tuesday morning at the
home of his parents, Mr.. and
Mrs. L. w. Jarrett, came as shock
to his many friends. For the past
two years he held a responsible po-
sition with bank at Palatka, Fla,
which he filled with credit to him
self and satisfaction to the bank. His
health failed him and he returned to
his home two months ago. He was
81 years old. Besides his parents
he is survived by five brothers, VIM.
F. of Cynthiana, Ind; Lawrence W.,
Brooklyn, N. Y; B. W. of Palatka,
Fla, Edgar A. and John M. of Boon
Vile, and four sisters, Mrs. VIM. L.

and Anna, all of Boonville. Funeral
will not be made until

Postoffice Superintendent Here.

Col. and Mrs. Morrell of Washing

and have taken fiat in the Usina
residence on North Third street. Col.
Morrell is a superintendent of con-

ing of Palatka's new postoffice.
Col. Gideon Dickson, superintendent
of construction for the contractor.
the Westchester Engineering Co., OF
White Plains, N. Y, is also here and
is making headquarters at the Sara
toga Hotel. He explains that there
is some delay in the beginning of
work owing to the fact that since the
contract was let to his company, it has
been decided to make the new building
entirely fire proof. This necessitated
a revisal of the plans and will also
add materially to the cost of the build
ing.

New Daily Paper.

Z The Daily Democrat will make its
appearance in Palatka next Monday
evening, the same to be issued from
the office of the Palatka Item. The
News is not informed as to who is to
be associated with Mr.. Davis in this
enterprise, but the fact that it is to
be issued from his Office is guarantee
that it will be, at least typographi-
cally, credit to the city, and not
like the mongrel Postem Serial of
fragrant memory, an eye-sore to bring
derision on the town. Mr.. Davis has
been in the city long enough to have
formed a pretty accurate opinion as
to the patronage he can hope to Sc
cure and that he has decided to again
venture in the daily field will be pleas
ing news to his friends. The Palatka
News has nothing but good wishes
for its coming neighbor.

Vice president Warner 7. Hamm
presided at the regular meeting of
the board Of trade on Monday night
in the absence of President Jarrett

the funeral of his brother.
The board instructed the entertain
ment committee to extend all courte-
sizes to the delegates to the conven-
tion to meet in this city on Wednes-
day to devise ways and means for ad-
vertising Florida.
Miss Jessie Harrison Burton, the
county agent for the Girls Gardening
and Canning Clubs made a most in
teresting talk to the board on the
work of these clubs in the county,
and told of the purpose to hold a dem
onstration meeting in this city on the
26th and 9th insts. Miss Burton
asked the cooperation of the board in
making this meeting success. Miss
Burton was given vote of thanks for
her address and of appreciation for
her efforts, and the board rendered
her the rooms of board of trade in
which to hold the coming demonstra-
ton. The board also decided to en-
tertain the visiting canning club girls
at dinner at the Putnam House, and
if possible an excursion on the river.

MONEY TO ADVERTISE
FLORIDA SECURED
At Putnam House Meeting
OfState's Promoters on
Wednesday.

The $4,000 fund, to advertise
Florida throughout the nation before
the winter tourist season, with the
object of bringing many extra thous-
ands of persons into this state, will be
raised. That was assured by the en-
thusiastic gathering of business men
from all parts of the state, which as
sembled at the Putnam House in this
city on Wednesday by call of Presi-
dent D. C. Gillett of the Tampa Board
of Trade, who inaugurated the plan.
The gathering was most representa-
tive one and the tone enthusiastic.
1t was decided to go on with the
plan and pledges on hand from vari-
Gus sections already amount to more
than $4,000, and more can be count
ed on. Many kilograms were read
from transportation interests showing
interest and expressing willingness to
cooperate.
Interesting addresses were made
among the number being those of
James R. Murphy of Palatka, Vance
w. Helm of Miami, G. A. Mcclellan
of Jacksonville, and Morris Cohen of
Jacksonville. James R. Murphy of
this city gave his personal check for
$500 toward the campaign, and Nor
ris Cohen of Jacksonville pledged
81 900 to the fund.
Resolutions of thanks were passed,
to the Manufacturers Record of Bal
timore and to Mr.. Gillett, for the sug-
gestion of the campaign.
A resolution also was passed that a
committee of five be appointed, to be
charged with the responsibility of ex-
pending the funds to the best advant-
age, and that every dollar of the fund
be spent outside of this state for ad-
vertising purposes, no officer or COM
mitteeman to be paid any salary, and
there be no sectionalism shown in the
makeup of the committee. The COM
mittee named was as follows: V. W.
Helm, Miami; G. A. Mcclellan, Jack
sonville ;B. L. Hammer, Tampa; W. P.
Franklin, Fort Myers; Frank Lloyd,
Quincy.
1t was the belief of those who gath
cred here that every community will
join in the propaganda when the full
plans are made known.
The plan contemplates a contribu-
tion of $4,000 by the railroads enter
ing Florida.
