them to a group of dealers who in
turn sold them to the colonel Col.

the sheet and made them available to

first sales ranged at from $3.50 to $3.50
apiece.

Speculation ran rampant in the

and political import brought to
the fore by the unexpected death
Of Col. Henry L. Roosevelt, ASSiS-
tant Secretary Of the Navy, late
Saturday.
Conversation had 1t, but without
confirmation, that Secretary Of
the Navy Swanson, who is still
fighting for his life against pleu-
riSy in the Naval Hospital. would
resign his Cabinet post in favor Of
former Secretary Josephus Dan

welt is making q hurried survey Of
the political field for q successor
to Colonel Roosevelt. and that the
naval appropriations bill may be
seriously jolted about Capitol Hill
IN the absence of a "strong Navy
man" from the scene.
Out Of the avalanche Of rumors,
however. came one pertinent fact
that President Roosevelt alone
virtually has been running the
Navy show since he became Presi-
dent and that he most likely will
continue without the assistance Of
any new faces, or old ones, In the
Navy Department.
The Chief Executive has ruled
the sea service with an enthusiasm
that has not been manifest in any
other department. He has per-
sonally mapped the building pro-
gram Of the Navy (there have
been ia ships laid down or
planned under his tutelage) and
he has watched more closely than
any one suspects the attitude Of
Japan toward naval parity.
