Naval Identity Threatened.

Members of the advisory board
declared vigorously that the men III
charge of the destinies of the
American navy feared at the out
break OF the war that unless the ut
most caution was observed Great
Britain would gradually have alb
soroed the naval forces Of the Unit
ed states and that our identity as
a nrst-class sea power would have
vanished as a result.
1t was pointed out that this the
DRY was demonstrated to have been
correct by what confronted Gen.
Pershing on the continent. Up to
the last moment, his efforts to sep
arate his army into an American
unit, thereby divorcing it from liza
son and brigade with the British,
was strenuously opposed by the
British military commanders in the
field.
Secretary of the Navy Daniels. it

ence Of the American navy, but was
willing to make all necessary sacri-
noes fora unity of command in the
waters of the war zone. He was
wiling to Cooperate to the fullest
degree. but he wished to preserve
the American navy intact. and this
was the reason why operations were
directed from Washington. and Ad-

end.
 At about three o'clock the burglar appeared at the bakery door, picked up a bucket of su- gar and retreated to the rear with this. The burglar then returned for a rope. He went into the hardware department for this being observed by dep- uty Campbell but was not seen by Thompson. MT. Campbell thereupon called for the lights and Thompson thinking the thief was probably cornered in some other part of the store walked out of the toilet and started along behind the high counter in front of this, toward the bakery. He was arrested by a shot and ducked behind the counter. The ball passed thru the counter and was ar. rested by the brick wall at the rear, missing Thompson by q hairsbreadth. The hardware department was\ dark except for a dim light burning in the front, and Thompson could not have located the burglar ex- cept for the flash of fire from his gun. Instantly rising again Thompson fired over the coun- ter at the thief, sending thru his body the 45 bullet that halt ed his career forever. At the same instant MT. Spellmire, who had rushed for the switch at the first signal, flashed on the lights.
 The entire force of watchers rushed to the scene of action, to find deputy Thompson stand ing over the crumpled form of Al Baldwin.
 Don't shoot again. You've got me-" cried Baldwin. Rec ognizing MT. Baldwin. MT. Spellmire exclaimed, What are you doing here?" MT. Baldwin replied, "I just came in to get a bucket of sugar for the kids.'' Then he moaned, "Oh, God! To think I have come to this. Once I was an upholder of the law and now l have come to this"
 Baldwin was formerly a member of the police force in El Paso)
 The men gathered about the wounded burglar, set to work to make him as comfortable as

in their nightgowns. Beneath the bed lay a pair of plum coll ored pumps. Seizing one of these, MT. Spellmire tossed it to MT. Iverson and exclaimed, ''There are your Opium color ed pumps.
 Well, I'll be D-d," eJac- ulated MT. Iverson.
 From this point the plot un- folded quickly. At first Mrs. Andrada denied any knowled~ ge that the stealing was going on, claiming that she thought Baldwin bought all the things brought in. Later, however, she admitted that she knew the stealing was being done.
 A search of the building dis closed the presence of stolen articles that totaled in value, we'll toward a thousand dol lars. They were packed in cupboards, trunks. suitcases, and boxes.
 Outside was found Baldwin's automobile, packed ready for leaving town. He had planned to leave at four. He was shot at three.
 Mrs. Andrada and her oldest son, and young man rooming at the O. K., were placed under arrest as accomplices.
 Baldwin died Monday night at 9:55. He was 36 years old The coroner's jury exhonorated deputy Thompson and com mended him for the faithful performance of his duty.
 Mrs. Andrada is now out under bond and back at the O. K. Lodging House. She is a mother of nine children and most of these are with her.
 So ends a drama as thrilling as the motion pictures at their best-but acted in real life and not in sham-commingling love hate, faithlessness, courage, lawlessness and adherance to duty, with comedy and tragedy, joy and misery woven together into the fabric of life, coupled with touching triumph of re- igious ideals. Sometimes we declare the drama unreal, and justice only fiction, but here in human blood we have it written that the drama at itI best is true to life, and that a just Providence does punish and reward.

possible. Mattress and bed ding were brought and he was laid on these. The ball had passed entirely thru his body just below the heart, from right to left and had embedded itself in the doorcasing of the wom- ans rest room at the rear of the hardware department.
 Dr. Melick was called and while awaiting his arrival the other men stood about the un- fortunate being, who moaned over and over, "Oh, God! Why did I do it? Why did I do it?"
 Touched by the mans ap, parent penitence, MT. Spellmire asked him if he had any relig. ious connection. He replied that he had none but had been reared in German Catholic school. MT. Spellmire then asked if he would like him to repeat some prayers. The man replied that he would and MT Spellmire knelt at his side and enunciated prayers and suppll- cations which the stricken man repeated in an eager and pen- itent voice, while the assembled men stood about With uncover ed heads bowed in reverence. Here lay a brother man come to his end, and at last seeking salvation for his soul, while a brother man, oblivious for the moment of the fact that he had been robbed, was doing his ut most to minister to the spiritual welfare of his brother man. At the mans request the act of contrition and prayers for the dying were repeated over and over. Then as manner of peace came to the suffering man, the officers and others be- thought themselves of the ac- complices who were probably trying to escape from the O. K. Lodging house. MT. Spellmire and MT. Iverson rushed out and blocked the front and rear en- frances firing two shots into the air. The scurrying of feet was heard as a number of persons at these doors retreated to the interior of the house. In tho meantime the officers had surrounded the building. MT. Spellmire and MT. Iverson then entered and found Mrs. Andra- da and one of her daughters seated on the edge of her bed
