FLEET MOVEMENT
CAMPAIGN ISSUE
Roosevelt's Enemies Will At
tack Action Next Congress.
IS EAGER TO MEET THEM
Acrimonious Debate Predicted, but
" All the Glory Will Bo Presi
dent's Entire West Solidly
Arrayed on 'Ills Side..
WASHINGTON. Aug. 28. (Special.)
Intimations In communication to Govern
ment officials' regarding the proposed
transfer of the battleship squadron from
the Atlantic to the Pacitlc Ocean Indicate
that Congress next Winter will be the
scene of an acrimonious debate on the
subject, subsequent to the probable intro
duction of resolutions calling upon the
President if not Incompatible with the
public welfare, to Inform Congress why
the battleships are to be transferred.
it Is predicted here that, the administra
tion will welcome Mich a resolution of
Inquiry, that it will die a natural death
in Congress and that the administration
'will get all the glory out of the debate.
Friends of the administration see In an
organized opposition In the East to the
transfer of the ships an attempt to make
political capital against the administra
tion, while at the some time charging the
administration with having the same
motive in view. This attack Is said to
have been practically responsible for the
determination not to send the fleet to the
Pacific until after Congress meets.
The administration men are already
chuckling over the prospect of seeing the
Pacific Coast members, who last year
were their bitterest opponents in Con
gress, because of the Japanese question,
openly championing the fleet movement at
the coming session. They declare. If the
issue is raised, the Middle West and Far
West wtll be found solidly arrayed with
the administration on the Issue. Friends
of the President are authority for the
statement that the President has re
ceived thousands of letters from the Mid
dle West commending the transfer of the
battleships and practically none from that
section have opposed It.
Tax as, says in his annual report: "I
renew the recommendations of the most
of my predecessors In relation to the
canteen restrictions. I am fully con
vinced that these restrictions do not
lessen the amount of . rlnking in true
Army."
Major W. P. Burnham, Chief of Staff,
says In regard to the probability of
the canteen being reinstated: "There
is no doubt In the minds of the Army
men, men who are on the ground and
know the conditions, both before and
after the abolition of the canteen, and
the results thereof, that the canteen
should be reinstated and that from
the standpoint of the Army Its aboli
tion was a sad mistake. It is hard to
make the voters and people generally,
outside of the Army, believe it.
"The saloon forces know that It is to
their interests not to have a canteen
In the Army. The deluded temperance
people think they are rendering a
service for the caucj they uphold, and
are In fact rendering a service for the
saloon business. Thus the interests of
the Army have two foes who are very
formidable In politics, to oppose In
gaining a reinstatement of the can
teen. If this matter was regulated s-y
the War Department we would have
had the canteen long ago. In fact it
would never have been abolished, but
Congress controls this and every Con
gressman Is controlled to some extent
by his constituents, who are all sure
to be arrayed either with the saloon
forces or with those wuo uphold tem
perance. When they both want the
restrictions on the canteen maintained
it Is a pretty hopeless outlook for Its
establishment."

ACT AS JOINT PEACEMAKERS
Roosevelt and Diaz Call Conference
of Central Americans.
WASHINGTON, D. C, Aug. 28. Act
ing Secretary of State Adee said that
he s authorized to announce that
President Roosevelt and President
Dlax are now In entire accord concern
ing the future of Central America and
the settlement of disputes amui.; the
five republics. This Is -taken to mean
that the United States and Mexico have
formulated a joint note to the Central
American republics Inviting them to
hold a conference with a view of cg -ee.
ing upon a treaty Insuring permanent
peace.
The impression is that ail have
expressed a readiness to enter Into
such a conference. Mr. Adee said
that he hoped within 24 hours to make
a statement outlining the policy under
consideration.

(Continued from First Fag-e.)
been made to the Adjutant-General. It
may be simply added that objections
principally lie against the weekly prac
tice marches on the grounds of monotony,
overloading and Increased expenditure for
clothing. Doubtless this cause, now un
der consideration by the War Depart
ment, will be largely eliminated by suit
able rearrangement of tr.-'se marches
vlong lines harmonizing with the climate,
the country and the previous service of
commands. The extreme Importance of
frequent and extended field practice la
unquestioned, and its satisfactory adjust
ment In and successful tpplicatlon to the
army will be gradually determined by ex
periment." The Cure for Desertion.
As a cure for these, frequent desertions
General Greely recommends In his report
that the army regulations be changed
o as to allow a soldier to be discharged,
upon application, at the end of a year,
that the pay and allowances be Increased
and that the army canteen be reinstated.
The General also recommends that an in
crease In the pay of all officers be made,
that attention be .paid to 'the mounting of
field and staff officers, and the Installa
tion of machine guns and the Increase,
in number, of the infantry.
In . regard to the camps of instruction
that have been maintained annually
throughout the United States, General
Greely says:
"In the year 1906 three camps of In
struction, occupied Jointly by the regular
troops and the National Guard, were es
tablished within the limits of the North
ern Division. The camps proved of
marked benefit to the service. Bringing
together practically all ef the various
corps of the regular establishment, they
not only afforded opportunities of simu
lating war conditions on the march, in
camp and In field operations, but they
also enabled officers to acquire a practi
cal knowledge of the different arms of
the service and exercise co-ordinate ac
tion therewith.
"Important as are the courses of
theoretical instruction, given under
competent Instructors at our technical'
Army schools and colleges, yet the
sktll and confidence so essential In
handling large bodies of mixed troops
can only be acquired by actual and
prolonged field work. It Is gratifying
to note that operations at the camps
of Instruction, as set forth In the re
ports. Indicate that the Army Is under
good discipline and Is trained for effi
cient field work."
Other Officers Want the Canteen.
The Armycanteen Is a much-mooted
question at the present time in the
Army. And practically all the men of
the service are anxious for its rein
statement, and believe that it is a
remedy for many of the evils existing
in the Army.

Doctor Waldron and Aged Women's
Pleasure Ends in Instant Death
by Doctor's .Blunder.
ROCHESTER, N. Y., Aug. 28. Dr.
George Waldron, of Rochester, and

taken three women, all of whom were
more than 65 years old, for an automo
bile ride. They were on their way to
the Freshour crossing to meet another
friend of the Scanlln family.
Witnesses of the accident say as the
machine approached the trolley tracks
It was seen by the motorman. Accord
ing to the motorman he made a signal
and Dr. Waldron slowed up; then, ap
parently thinking that he could cross
before the car. reached hJm, he
started on again. It Is thought that
the automobile did not respond readily
to the levers. It was caught on the
track and the occupants thrown wfth
great force. The bodies were fright
fully crushed.

TOWN WHICH HAS NO OFFICERS
Suit Against Waterloo Develops
Abandonment of City Government..
ALBANY, Or., Aug. 28. (Special.) An
Incorporated town without officers or
funds Is Waterloo, situated on the South
Santiam River, seven v miles above
Lebanon. All of the officers of the town
moved awav and their successors were
never chosen.
This strange condition of affairs de
veloped today when R. G. Keene, who
lives near Waterloo, filed an action
against the town In the State Circuit
Court here to recover J68.57. He expended
this sum In 1898 and 1899 In buying war
rants issued by the town and has never
received his money. The warrants Were
stamped "not paid for want of funds" by
the town treasurer and have been draw
ing interest, but the financial condition
of the town never permitted the liquida
tion of old warrants.
Since the town officers moved away and
the Government was practically aban
doned no city taxes have been levied and
Mr. Keene saw no chance of getting his
money, so has instituted this suit.
FIRE IN COAL BUNKERS
Minnesota Arrives in Port Fighting
Flames.
SEATTLE, Wash., Aug. 28. (Spe
cial.) The crew of the Hill liner
Minnesota, which arrived here today,
fought a fire in one of the ship's coal
bunkers for nine daye during the run
to Seattle. The fire was not gotten
completely under control until the
boat reached port. The entire fight
against the fire was made without any
of the 300 passengers aboard the
steamship learning of the fire and the
story only leaked out tonight.
It Is reported that one Chinese em
ploye In the fireroom was overcome
by the heat and became slightly de
mented. He attempted an assault on
one of the white officers, but was put
In irons before anyone was hurt. As
the fire was confined to the bunkers
no serious damage Is believed to have
been done to the ship, though a sur
vey will hive to be made to determine
the exact cost of repairs. The Mln
nesota Is due to sail again on Septem
ber 10.
WYMAN STEALS $20,000
Manager of California Saw Works
Charged With Embezzlement.
SEATTLE, Wash., Aug. 28. (Special.)
w. i. wyman, local manager or me can
fornla Saw Works, Is , under arrest
charged with embezzlements that may
reach a total of J30.000. He has been in
charge of the Seattle offices for two
years, having been sent here after seven
years' service as manager of the Port
land branch. The shortage was discov
ered by President C F. Fisher and Vice
President H. Bird, who have been here
several days auditing the accounts of the
company. Wyman would not admit the
shortage to the police, but he made over
tures for a settlement. As all his prop
erty consists of real estate the company
demanded a prosecution.
Meet at Luncheon at Oyster Bay and
Discuss Naval Training Swedes
of New l'ork Honor
Their Prince.
NEW YORK, Aug. 28. A luncheon with
President Roosevelt, an Informal dinner
at the Hotel Astor and a view of Broad
way under its white lights were the
events of the first day's visit to New
York of Prince Wllhelm of Sweden. In
cidental to almost all of these events
was a hearty greeting from hundreds of
Swedes who gathered everywhere to wel
come to their adopted country the great
grandson of Marshal Bernadotte.
Fresh from a round of entertainments
at Newport and several cities, Prince
Wllhelm reached New York by rail early
today, accompanied by the Swedish Min
ister to the United States, Herman
Lagercrantz, and Captain Klercher, , the
Prince's aide. At the Grand Central Sta
tion the party was met by Acting Swed
ish Consul ' Magnus Clarholm, who ex
tended the formal welcome of the Swed
ish residents of New York. At the Hotel
Astor the Prince was taken in charge
by Huntington Wilson, Third Assistant
Secretary of State, who had been .de
talled by the President to escort the
royal, visitor to Oyster Bay.
A large portion of the population of
Oyster Bay was at the station when the
Prince arrived, and the little Long Island
village was gay with flags, prominent
among them being the colors of Sweden.
The party was driven Immediately to
Sagamore Hill, where the President was
awaiting It. '
The luncheon served was elaborate.
Beside Prince Wllhelm the guests were
Captain Llndborg, of the Swedish cruis
er Fyfgla, on which the Prince voyaged
to America; Secretary of the Treasury
Cortelyou; John B. Jackson, Minister to
Persia: Lieutenant R. C. Bulmer, U. S.
N., commander of i.ie Mayflower, the
President's yacht, and Mrs. Bulmer, and
Major-General J. Frank..n Bell. Chief of
Staff of the United States army.
The luncheon, while elaborate, was en
tirely Informal and the President and the
Prince chatted on current topics until,
they settled down to a discussion of the
training of naval officers, a subject in
which both are particularly interested.
The party left Sagamore Hill In time
to catch a train for New York, shortly
before 4 o'clock. The Prince expressed
great delight at having had an oppor
tunity to see the President and spoke in
enthusiastic terms of him.
On Friday a formal banquet will be
tendered the Prince at the Hotel As
tor, and Saturday will be spent In
sightseeing in and about New York.
MARRY IN HASTE BY AUTO
Allegranl Rushes to Oregon City to
Change Miss Smith's Name.
Automobile weddings threaten to
take the place of the old-style af
fairs formerly In fashion. The slow
procession up the church aisle affected
by the last generation, J.nd even the
strains of Mendelssohn, may be cut out
in the future, If the rage for hurry-up
weddings with the aid of automobiles
keeps up. ' "
Portland had such a function yester
day, when Stephen Allegranl and Geo
gia May Smith, both of Portland.. trav
eled by automobile to Oregon City, and
were married In haste. The big auto
mobile fairly ate up the miles to the
falls, and the stop -there was only long
enough to permit the vows to be said,
when the party honk-honked back
again.
The bridal party left here at 1:30 P.
M., arriving at Oregon City at 2:30. The
license was secured at 2:36, and the
ceremony occurred at 2:40. The auto
mobile left Oregon City at 2:45, thus
allowing only 15 minutes for prepara
tions and the ceremony. The trip up
the river was made bn the west side
and the return on the east side. Owing
to .the unsafe condition of a bridge
across the Clackamas River, a detour
of ten miles had to be made to cross
that stream, and it was 4:20 when the
bridal party arrived at Portland. A
splendid wedding breakfast was served
at the Hotel Sargent.
Mr. Allegranl is a well-known young
man about town, and Is connected with
the Pacific Brass & Metal Works. Mr.
and Mrs. Allegranl will live at 370 East
Market street.
Alexander Oliver was best man. Other
members of the bridal party were Miss
Grace Holden and Miss Nellie Yorker.
Rev. Mr. Linden, of the Baptist Church
of Oregon .City, performed the ceremony.
