All battleships should be larxe enoutch to carry Runs capable of piercing the heaviest armor it ship can carry. Our 14-Inch trims can do this, at a distance of eight miles. As eight miles Is as far as we can see. there Is no use going further. "The fortification of the Panama Canal depends upon the Interpretation of the treaty. If we fortify the canal It will be because of what la left out f the treaty rather than what Is put In it. I believe the canal will le for tified, but under what circumstances or by whom I am not prepared to say. Th- value of the canal for transporting a fleet from one ocean to another Is overrated. One sti.-k of dynamite, in the hands of a brave man. would ren der tiie liM-ks useless and bottle up a fleet in tne canal. For that reason It Is apparent that we should have a Pa cific fleet."

Ford yesterday on the grounds of neglect and Inhuman treatment. - The wife had her maiden name. Lou Laws, restored to her. In his answer to the cross-complaint in the divorce suit of S. M. Burnett against Maud Burnett, the plaintiff de nies all the allegations made by his wife and declares that he is unable financially to pay her alimony or attor ney's fees. He asks for an absolute di vorce and the custody of the two minor children. Articles of Incorporation were yester day filed In the County Clerk's office as follows: United Auto Company; Incor porators. E. E. Cohen, Arnold Cohen and J. C. Beck; capitalization, $50,000. American Llfeograph Company; Incor porators, L. R'.Moomaw, R. A. Lelter and F. J. Lonergao: capitalization, $150,000. When a husband drinks to excess and goes home in an Intoxicated condi tion, . beats up his wife, chokes her. threatens her life and falsely accuses her of unfaithfulness, such deportment Is sufficient cause for a divorce, accord- ; lng to the views of Judge Cleland, who yesterday granted to Grace Ludlngton absolute freedom from K. F. Ludlngton. In the testimony given by Mrs. Lud lngton It was shown that the husband had treated .his wife so cruelly that it was necessary to have him locked up In the County Jail to keep him from doing her bodily harm. The custody of the two minor children was awarded to Mrs. Ludlngton. High School Societies Elect.
