By WALTER FITZMAURICE

WASHINGTON, Oct 29. = Naval sources indicate the 1889 armaments program will include new air and fleet bases in the Atlantic and Pa cific, reducing United States vulner- ability to a ''two-ocean" attack.
 Congressional tax experts, raising the slogan of paying for prepared ness as we go," considered a 10 per- cent horizontal income tax hike meantime, to meet the humping increase in defense appropriations President Roosevelt has forecast. Naval circles predicted recom- mendation for strengthening the Hawaii naval base and for new bases in Alaska, San Francisco and Puerto Rico will reach Congress in January, at about the time the House Ways and Means Committee takes up the 1889 revenue bill.
 Expansion at Hawaii
 The navy board, which the last Congress directed to study sites for bases safeguarding the continental and territorial possessions and sea- borne commerce, officers pointed out, is under mandate to submit a report by January l. Rear Admiral Arthur J. Hepburn, former fleet commander in chief, heads the board
 Although the report remains con- fidential until it's submission to con- gress, the boards findings are un- understood to include recommenda- tions for the following
 Expansion of the Hawaii base to permit the berthing of fleet being augmented by fifteen to twenty new ships, and with dry dock accommodations for battle ships larger than the existing 35,- O0O-ton limit.
 "A combination fleet-air base in the Gulf of Alaska, setting up the second leg of the tripod Pacific strategists consider necessary to maintain American Asiatic sea lanes in event of a Pacific naval war.
 3-A submarine base midway be- tween Yerba Buena and Treasure islands in San Francisco Bay from which undersea craft could waylay enemy raiders of American com merce eluding the battle fleet.
 A fleet-air base at San Juan Puerto Rico, bestriding the Carri- bean approaches to the Panama Canal and Mexican Gulf and sup planting the Guantanamo (Cuba) base as a rendezvous for perman- ent, expanded Atlantic naval force. Income Taxes to Finance
 Naval quarters indicated no new installations will be recommended for Guam, the Western Pacific is land formerly envisioned as the third point in the Pacific naval tri- pod, but now regarded as more suitable for air equipment alone.

sons also are living: Francis Barnes
of williamson, N. c., and Francis

Mrs. Robert F. Duer, of Princess
Anne: Mrs. Charles 7. Fisher, of Sal

J. Lloyd, of this city, is nephew.
A number of great nieces and nep-

there were representatives of five
generations living in his family.
Funeral services were held on Thurs
day yesterday from st. Mary's
Episcopal Church, this city, with
which church he was long connected
as a vestryman. Rev. R. B. Mathews,
rector, officiated, and burial took
place in the cemetery adjoining.
Thus passes from this community
a man, against whom few, if any, ever
had a grudge. He was universally
esteemed as one above reproach and
an honor to his home and friends. His
long life of 80 years was spent in and
out among his fellow man, and not
once. in all his wonderful career, was
there ever a breath of suspicion re-
garding either his public or his pri-
vate dealings. No matter in what
department of endeavor he appeared,
his presence always engendered con-
fidence, and he always took care that
such was not misplaced.
In addition, he was a man with a
heart. His kindly, sympathetic dis
position, made him truly friend to
humanity, and never did he hesitate
to extend helping hand whenever it
was in his power. He always took
rosy view of life, a fact which, no
doubt, contributed to his longevity
and this with his saving sense of
humor combined to furnish him with
deHghtful personality.
He was truly Christian born. He
loved his Maker and his church. He
was faithful attendant at all it's SER
vices when health did not forbid, and
a most liberal contributor to it's up
keep.
1t is unnecessary to record his low

ed of husband and father, his FAM
lily can do naught but call him bless
ed. He denied them nothing he was
able to give, and their happiness and
welfare were always uppermost in his
mind.

SEED WHEAT MAY BE
BOUGHT IN MONTANA

There are ample supplies of
spring wheat for seed within the
state, James T. Sparkling, commits
sioner of agriculture announces. It
will be unnecessary to bring In any
out-of-state wheat for seed pur-
poses Sparkling advises.
John T. Kelly, chief Of the grain
division, has conducted an investi-
cation and has located 3,236,117
bushels in elevators and In grain
storage houses. Questionnaires
have been mailed to all elevators
from which data will be complied.
Grain farmers of Montana are
invited to consult with the Grain
Division Department of Agricul-
ture, Helena, if they need spring
wheat and cannot obtain 1t in
their home vicinity. The depart
ment will advise them where to
apply and aid Montana farmers to
obtain Montana wheat for seed
purposes. Montana grown grain Is
decidedly preferable to other grains
for seed, Sparkling says.
Farmers are invited to use the
facilities of the department III
solving their wheat seed problems.

Japan refused formally Saturday
night to divulge secrets of her
naval construction in reply to de-
mands for information by the
United States, France and Great
Britain. Japan declared herself
willing, however, to discuss naval
limitation on a quantitative basis
restricting the size of fleets
rather than individual ships. The
formal note commended Japan
failed ito see any logical reason
for assuming she was planning to
build warships beyond the limita-
tons of the 1886 naval treaty. The
government insisted, moreover,
that Japan has mo intention
whatever of possessing an arma-
ment which would menace other
countries.
