TO SPEND MILLIONS ON
DEFENSE At NORFOLK

Norfolk, Va, July 12.-Many mil
lions of dollars viii be spent on coast
defenses at this point to protect the
entrance to Chesapeake Bay as a TT
suit Of legislation passed by the pres
ent Congress. IN addition the navy
yard here win be enlarged so that il
will be able to build the greatest war
ship. This city will show a substan-
tial increase in population as a result
Of preparedness activity.
At Capt. Henry and Fort Monroe
many giant rifles and great mortars
will be sunningly placed behind con-
crete steel and sand in such a way that
no warship car reach them.
Guns an dmortars at Cape Henry
alone will cost $1,5OO,0OO. The en-
placements and the plant, including a
wharf for landing supplies, 4 connect
ing railway, an electric system and the
submarine defenses other than M
teriais, will cost nearly three millions
more; while quarters for officers, bar
racks for men, a machine shop and its
equipment will altogether run over :
million and half.
Plans drawn before the present war
for defenses to protect the forts from
the land side have now had TO b.
scrapped and new ones prepared.
These call for another 100000.
1t is important to make this district
impregnabie because here, as possibly
nowhere else in the country, could an
occupying force find its own subsist-
ence. Fish in any quantity is pres
ent, oysters, clans and crabs are
abundant and four to FIVE crops of veg
ctabIes arc produced annually.
Hampton Roads is a magnificent
halbor, without heavy currents, dan
ger of ice, or important tidal changes
in level.
The present navy yard at Norfolk
employs about 1000 men. This num-
Der will be increased when ways are
built for battleships. Hitherto only
torpedo boats and destroyers have
been constructed here. Now this yard
will at all times be busy building
either battIeship of a battle cruiser.
The "ways" will cost 100000 and

LOWERFREICHT Rate
TO S. {. MISSOURI
HAS BEEN ASSURED
Reduction Of One to IL Cents In
Class and Commodity Rates
Under New Tariff.

Cairo, ILL.,, July THE new adjust
ment in class and commodity rates to
Southeast Missouri points, agreed up
on by the Cotton Belt and Iron Noun
tain railroads at the conference held
in st. Louis Monday between officials
of the roads and the Traffic Bureau of
the Cairo Association of Commerce,
absolutely has no bearing upon the
reconstruction of the incline at Birds
Point.
Officials Of the Cotton Belt assured
the Cairo representatives that the in
cline would be reconstructed at birds
Point as soon as a location could be Sc
cured which they think will be per-
manent.
When the new rates have been adj
justed in accordance with the agree
ment practically 50 per cent of the
St. Louis rates to oSutheast Missouri
points will have been reduced, while
numerous others originating points
will have to be advanced to bring
about the proper adjustment and rela
ton between iobbing centers.
The big advantage in mileage will be
reflected in rates to all stations in
Southeast Missouri on the Frisco Rail
road, as we'll as on Cotton Belt and
Iron Mountain stations.
The Public Utility Commission has
decided what shall be the minimum
charge Of p cents from st. Louis,
whereas the minimum charge from
Cairo is at present so cents, decided
and unequal advantage in favor Of the
former. The carriers in the new re-
adjustment. have not decided what
shall be the minimum charge carried
in the new tariff, and which is to be-
come effective within go days.
Railroad officials said that this adj
.iustment was one they had been de-
ferrng for 10 years, and that they re-
Gently saw that further delay in the
matter would not be to their interest,
therefore, their perfect willingness to
make the equitable adjustment de-
manded.
Cairo will gain from one to II cents
on the first class freight rates under
the proposed new tariff.
Further, the Cairo rate to points on
the Cotton Belt will be applied from
Thebea and Cape Girardeau, while
rates from and to St. Louis and Chi
cago will be raised by the new tariff.
Previously the mileage from St. Louis
has been figured from Carondelet, this
giving St. Louis seven miles advantage
in haul. Hcnceforth the Missouri scale
viii be applied to Cairo shipments.
The proposed new tariff will be sub
nlittod to lhe St Louis Business Mems
League before being published.

FORSYTHE And WAD.
OFF FOR The LAKES.
Evangelist TO Nurse His New
Bank Roll at Northern
Summer Resort.

Eli ]. Forsythe, the evangelist, who
closed his tabernacle show Sunday
midnight, departed for the northern
lake resorts yesterday afternoon with
the $1,000 paid him for his five weeks
in Cape Girardeau. II was officially
stated yesterday afternoon by man
who has been closely identified with
the project that the men who guaran
teed Forsythe against loss were forced
to pay heavily.
W. H. StubblCfiCld, who was one of
The promoters, made an effort to get
Forsythe to cut his bill $50, but he re-
fused. The collections at the taber-
nacle Sunday were a depressing sur
prise to the promoters. The guaran-
tee men canvassed among the audi
ence for dollar contributions Each OF
the fifty men who were signed up for
500, made frantic efforts to induce
the spectators to help out.
George S. Summers waded into tn,
crowd and pleaded Tor gifts Sunday
night. Judge Fristoe was interview
CT by the banker, but without success.
He excused himself by declaring that
ne had not brought any money wiii
him. Summers offered to lend the po-
lice Judge some money, bu, it was de
clined.
Efforts made yesterday tc ascertain
the exact amount Of the loss were fu-
Tile. One report sad that the total
collections at the tabernacle, made by
passing the hat did not pay for the
advertising and the press agents sal
airy. Another stated that the volun-
teer offerings covered the advertising,
the press agent and the cost Of /
tabernacle. The advertising bill WAS
$50 a day, according to the statements
made by persons close to the evangcl-
ist, and the press agent cost $25 a
week. Every article written was cen
sored either by representative OF
Forsythe or by the evangelist. Only
what he approved went in the paper.
This was the understanding when i:
made the arrangements with the pa
per. He also had the privilege of wit
ing editorials, praising his work, which
were published at SO much per line.
On the final night Of the tabernacle,
Forsythe praised the paper which had
been paid to publish his sermons.
Forsythe told a city official tfat tn
attacks made upon him by The Tr;b-
une lad a terrible effect on the cci
lections. He also expressed himself
as being disgustcd with The Triburc-
we never have encountered such
strong opposition before" said The
evangelist. I'VE nearly always GrA
some editor who criticizes our way Of
preaching, but in other towns we haH
been able to muzzic the editor. When
we arc criticized, We usually urge
those who attend the tabernacle c
quit reading the paper which opposes
US and invariably the business man
agCr compels the editor 20 cease his
criticism. The Tribune is the first
newspaper that has fought us consist

Forsythe expressed himself as be
ing satisfied to leave Cape Girardcau.

were successful, but assert
