RELIC OF SPANISH
 WAR NOW TARGET
Famous BatdeShip Iowa Will
 Test GunnerS' Skill

Washington, July 26.-The once
 famous battleship Iowa, which played
 no small part in the destruction of Cevera's fleet at Santiago, is being
 prepared at the Philadelphia navy yard for what naval officers say will be one of the most unique target ex- periments ever attempted.
 Proceeding unnamed, but under her own steam and controlled by radio, probably from seaplanes, the old sea-fghter will become the ob- jective of the big guns of the At Iantic fleet superdreadnough in Chesapeake Bay late this summer This will be the first time that Ameri- can warships have used moving craft for a target except in actual war.
 Two of the Iowa's coal burning boilers are being converted to burn oil so the ship may continue under way with no one aboard once her fires have been started burning and her engines placed in motion.
 It is expected that the unique prac- tice will give the gunpointers of the fleet an opportunity to test their a5iliy under conditions as near ly like those to be expected in battle as can be obtained. Smoke screens will be thrown around the Iowa dur ing the runs and the course will be at will through the radio control system, necessitating a change in range on all the firing ships, ex- actly as would occur in action.
 The Iowa has already been stripped of some of its guns and much valu- able metal and the practice will be continued until the old vessel, a mass 1 ,f twisted metal, sinks beneath the | waves to join the old Texas, which, 1 IS the San Marcos, was used for ta tionary target years ago.
 The battleship Ohio has been | urned over to the Bureau of Steam | for purposes of experi- l nent in radio control and a staff of | xpert technical officers has been | ,laced on board to arrange the Iowa 'ractice.

PAYS TO ADVERTISE,
 JILTED LOVER SAYS
Captain Kitchen, Turned Down By Sweetheart, Now Has Many
 Admirers.

Admirers
 l. Sidney, N. S., July 26.-Residents of this city are beginning to wonder whether it is still in order to pity Cap tain Thomas Kitchen, the Canadian Field Artillery officer whose fnancee, Miss A. Butler of Manchester. Eng. transferred her affections to Lieu. T. Miller while en route to Halifax to marry the captain.
 Following the publicity which has been given the broken engagement, Captain Kitchen has received many letters. mostly from English women, in which the writer offers her own hand to the captain by way of con- solation for the loss of Miss Butler.
 Among those who offer to come to Sydney and become Mrs. Capt. Kit chen is a young duchess. Captain Kitchen says. She has written expres- sing her sympathy and volunteered to come at once if the ,galla ant Canadian will have her.
 Captain Kitchen would not tell the name of the duchess or say whether she was a noblewoman in her own right or the divorced or widowed wife of some high ranking peer.

Attitude As sailed as
Encouraging Radicals:
Deportation Record Cited
Defiance of Law CHARGED
House Committee Advised
That Past Record of Of

WASHINGTON, June 1.-~Attorncv
General Palmer, replying to-day be-
fole the House Rules Committee to
criticisms leveled at his department by
Louis F. Post, Assistant Secretary O.
Labor, said Mr.. Post had set himself
above Congress and the law in the
handling OF deportation cases.
The Attorney General asserted that
Mr.. Posts entire official career had
been marked by a friendliness toward
radicals which had done much toward
encouraging the growth and develop
ment Of their program. He further
charged that Mr.. Post had defed the
rules Of evidence as laid down by the
courts, had shown favors to violators
Of the law and their attorneys, had
refused common courtesy" to the De
partmenr Of Justice and had ain order
to distract public attention from his
obvious failure to perform his own
duty, showered upon the Department
of Justice mass of charges Of mis-
conduct"
Palmer on Stand Five Hours
Mr.. Palmer was before the commit
tee, which is inqurine into the official
conduct of Mr.. Post, almost FIVE hours
and then die not complete his state

deep into Mr.. Posts record, declaring
that mary things which might in

at has become perfectly apparent"
the Attorney General said, that Mr..
Posts course in all the deportation
proceedings has been dictated by his
own personal view that the deporta-
ton law is wrong, rather than by any
desire or intention to carry out the law
as enacted by the Congress. BY his
self-wllled and autocratic substitu-
ton Of his mistaken personal view
point for the obligation of public law :;
by his habitually tender solicitude for
social revolutionists and perverted
sympathy for the criminal anarchists
OF the country, he has consistently
deprived the people Of their day in
court in the enforcement of a law of
vital importance to their peace and
safety.
By his wholesale jail deliveries and
ms release of even self-confesse d
anachists Of the worst tyne he has
utterly nullitied the purpose Of the
Congress in passing the deportation
statute and has set at large among
the people the very public enemies

OF the Congress to be rid of

There can be no question that the

use Of apt phraseology to carry out
such purposes.
The argument to support the POWER
OF the state to require the approval
by the people of the state of the rati-
hcation OF amendments to the Federal
CONSTITUTION through the medium of q
referendum rests upon the proposition
that the Federal Constitution requires
ratification by the legislative action of
the states through the medium pro-
vlded at the time of the proposed ap-
proval of an amendment. This argu-
ment IS fallaclous in this-ratitication

Miss Hay Declares
All Signs Point to
Republican Victory
Chairman of Women's Ma
tional Committee Departs
for Convention: Takes
a Fling at Wadsworth

Miss Mary Garrett Hay, before leav-
ing for Chicago to attend the Republi
can National Convention, predicted a
party victory this fall
"Everywhere in this country | hear
Republican sentiment" said Miss Hay,
land all signs point to a victory for
the Republican party The conventi- ~
in Chicago, I am sure, will formulate
the kind OF platform that will make its
appeal, and nominate progressive
and courageous leader"
Miss Hay, whose work as chairman
of the women's executive committee
of the Republican National Committee
comes to close with the opening of
the national convention, is in Chi
cago to help to welcome the women
who will attend.
She said that after the convention
she would redouble her efforts to COM
plete suffrage ratification by getting
the thirty eighth state INTO line.
Then Miss Hay, who is an avowed
opponent Of Senator Wadsworth's re-
nomination, took a fling at the senior
Senator from New York.
Not only is the final ratification Of
the amendment still to be obtained.
Its security and inviolability are to be
assured against undermining by those
false representatives of the people.
They have opposed it in the face of
an overwhelming popular demand and
now seek reelection in order, if the
signs read right, to bring about its
abrogation."
Commenting on the political situa-
ton as it touches the woman voter,
Miss Hay said:
If the woman voter is to be of any
value in the electorate. to herself or
society, she must be given full recog-
milton in the party council. She must
not be kept on the fringes of party or
ganization. She must not be used
merely for decorative purposes
Women have not waged their sew
enty-year fight for suffrage in this
country to be satisfied now with a po-
litical policy that seeks merely to pla-
cate where it does not actually exploit.
Women must be taken into the party in
full faith and be given their full share
Of inside organization, responsibility
and ant oritVD
