LAKE MOHOXK, N". Y.. Aug. 19
Fr from grim warships and the sea
where he spent nearly half a century In
the service of his country. Rear-Admiral
Robley D. Evans. U, S. N., who la
at this quiet mountain hotel, reached
the age limit of 62 years yesterday and
passed from the ranks of the country's
active sea-fighters. His has been the
longest service (but two years short
of half a century) of any man who has
reached the rank of rear-admiral In
the United States Navy.
All through the day the hotel was
thronged with admirers of "Fighting
Bob." anxious to congratulate him on
his 2nd birthday and to wish him
many more happy and useful years.
Telegrams by the score reached him
from all parts of the country, all ex
pressing felicitations and affection for
the man who had done so much to
build up the American Navy. Many
of the messages brought delighted
smiles to the Admiral's face, while
others brought Just a suspicion of
moisture to his eyes. The' telegram
in particular which caused "Fighting
Bob" many smiles came from an old
friend in Washington and said:
"For some of us. skipper, your flag
will always fly."
. Expects to Finish Century.
Sailors, soldiers, statesmen and civilians
in fact every walk of life waa repre
sented in the great outpouring of mes
sages which came to him today.
In reply to a friend who asked the Ad
miral how he felt on his 62d birthday, he
replied characteristically:
"Fit as a fiddle. I am 62 years young
today and I expect to reach a hundred
I am taking on flesh at the rate of half
a pound a day and I have not got a thing
to do but loaf. Who wouldn't get well un-d-r
such circumstances?"
The Admiral said he expected to stay
here until October, when he will go to
Washington to be associated with the gen
eral board in an advisory capacity. He
added that he expected to do some work
before he left here, having arranged with
a magazine to write 12 articles on naval
subjects.
Effects of Fleet's Voyage.
Asked regarding the probable effect of
the cru'se of the fleet around the world,
which he commanded from Hampton
Roads to San Francisco, the first stage of
the long voyage, the Admiral said that
he believed its influence waa already be
ing felt. That the cruise would add more
than mere prestige to the United States as
a world-power, the Admiral asserted In no
uncertain tones. He said it was the great
est disappointment of his life that ho
was unable to keep the command at least
until he could visit Japan, where he has
a great many friends among the states
men of that country.
'o War on Japan Unless Forced.
Questioned In regard to tha war talk
between the two countries, the Admiral
said that there would never be any war
unless the United States forced It upon
Japan. He said the Japanese are a sensi
tive people and the greatest little fighters
In the world, and it Is not a wise policy
to annoy them too much.
He further stated that Japan's attitude
toward China was greatly misunderstood
In this country; that It was not her desire
to colonize China, but that she merely
wanted to have a hand in directing Chi
nese policies. He said the only Interest
the United States should have in China
was to maintain the op;n door. Further
than that we cannot expect to gain any
thing, he declared.
Most ' Maintain Large Xavy.
The Admiral strongly asserted that the
United States is in duty bound to maintain
a large Navy.' He declared that he had
always held that our best guarantee of
perpetual peace is to be so strong that
other nations will be afratd of us.
"We should have 24 battleships in each
of the Pacific and the Atlantic Oceans,"
said the Admiral. "Sixteen of. these
should be in commission In each ocean, all
of the time with eight held In reserve."
The formal celebration in honor of the
Admiral took place this evening In the
large parlors of the Mountain Hotel. The
room was gaily decorated with American
flags, but the feature which attracted the
attention of everybody was a battle
scarred flag which the Admiral carried on
the Iowa during the battle with the
Spanish fleet at Santiago.
Eulogy by Simmons.
Albert K. Sml'.ey Introduced as presid
ing officer of the ceremonies J. Ed
ward Simmons, of New York. When Ad
miral Kvans was brought Into the room
in a whel chair, theh audience applaud
ed him vigorously, keeping It up until the
Aumiral silently raised his hand as a
reouest for silence. Mr. Fimrnons then
delivered an eulogy of the Admiral,
which follows:
Letter From Roosevelt.
A large number of letters from men
distinguished In public and private life
were then read by Mr. Simmons. Presi
dent Roosevelt wrote:
I thank vou for your kind Invitation. It
U not possible for me to accept, much to
my regret. Through you may I convey to
the guests assembled my cordial sympathy
with their purpose and to Rear-Admiral
Robley D. Evans in particular let me renew-
the assurance of the high regard and
esteem uhich he already knovs I hold
for him. His lias been one of the most
honorable careers of our public service.
All good Americans owe htm a debt of
gratitude. In peculiar degree his nam
tvplnes the growth of our navy from the
davs of Farragut to the day when Ad
miral Evans himself brought into the Pa
cific waters trie mightiest war fleet that
had ever appeared west of Magellan or
eat of Sues, commanding; this fleet dur
ing the first period of a voyage such as
no other fleet of the kind of any nation
has eer taken.
It is eminently appropriate that the re
ception to Admiral Evans ahould be given
in what you call "a veritable temple of
Tieace." for the United States Navy Is the
best guarantee of peace we have, and all
men who believe in the peace of Justice
throughout the world should do everything
that in them lies to maintain and build up
this Navy.
Admiral Pilisbury wrote:
No one in the service has better oppor
tunities to know the Admiral than I. for
J was his chief of staff and messmate in
the Atlantic fleet for over two years. I
can say to you that to him Is due the
h:gh state of efficiency of the fleet, and
Any mark of approval that can be given
him by his countrymen, either for his pro
fessional or personal qualities. Is more
than gratifying to mp. for I know how
well It . Is deserved.

Evans' Farewell to Aavy.
In accepting the loving cup. Admiral
Evans made the following address: .
In one renpect at least naval officers are
exactly like any other worthy servants of the
pe pie they are glad when they have pleaded
their employers. From what I have heard and
seen here tonight It seem that during my
48 year of actual service I have given satis
faction to vou who may fairly be assumed
to represent the people of the United States
my employers. I have not the neceesary woras
with which to tnanx you tor wnat yon nave
tonight done for me. Please accept my sin
cere thank for the beautiful cup. which will
he preserved and valued by those of my
family who survive me.
It mav not be out of olace for me to say
that during my 48 years of service I have
done all In my powsr to upnoid me nonor
and dignity of my country, and that I have
loved the dear old flag as I love nothing else
In this world ; that I have suffered severely
under that flag must be evident to any one
who eees me. but I would live my life over
again just aa I have lived It, If I knew the
eufferlng was to be a thousand times as great.
1 go to the retired list with a feeling that It
Is a reward for long and honorable service,
and I hope to enjoy the rest and comfort It
may bring, unle&a some emergency shall call
me back into actfve service, when I ehall
give' all that remains of me to my country
as willingly as I have given the best years
of my manhood.
I thnnk you again, most sincerely, for the
courtesy you have shown me.
Cheering and applause followed Admiral
Evar3' speech.
Just at the close of the exercises a
birthday cake covered v.ith 62 lighted can
dlts was brought into the room. This
gift seemed to please the Admiral more
than any other part of tho ceremonies of
the evening. A reception followed the
formal ceremonies, and men, women and
children vied with each other In thetr
efforts to show their admiration of. Ad
miral Evans.
MINERS EXPEL NEGROES
WHITES TELL THEM TO GO OR
THEY WILL BE KILLED.
Cabin Burned and Woman and Five
Children Cremated Terror
Reigns in Tennessee.
KXOXVILLE. Tenn., Aug. 19. At mid
night the situation at Jellico. where the
uprising of white miners against negroes
occurred yesterday, appears to be quiet,
though It is difficult to obtain direct infor
mation, owing to the remoteness of the
section. Sheriff Hughes, of Claiborne
County, Tennessee, today arrested five
members of the band believed to be the
leaders, and this has done much to re
lieve the situation.
Early tonight the band drove 30 negroes
out of their homes at the Campbell mines,
forcing them to leave hastily, some half
clad. It is stated that the members of the
band have notified the negroes of eight or
ten camps scattered over several miles to
get out within three days or they will be
killed. Many negroes and, some white
residents today continued to flock to Jel
lico and other towns.
It was reported also that some time last
night a cabin occupied by an aged negro
woman and five children had been burned
and all the occupants lost their lives, but
this has not been verified.

ton, but Bacon Refuses to Dis
cuss About Negotiations With
Dutch Government.
THE HAGUE. Aug. 19 With the single
proviso that no military occupation of
territory must occur, the (jovernment at
Washington is understood to have given
the Cabinet of The Netherlands a free
hand to deal as It sees fit with President
Castro, of Venexuela.
The Netherlands' cruiser Friesland will
not sail for the Caribbean before the end
of next month.
TWO XATIOXS DO XOT SPEAK
Dutch Cruiser Not Allowed to Com
municate With La Guayra.
CARACAS. Aug. 19. When the. Dutch
cruiser Qelderland, after taking away
Minister de Rues, came back to La
Guayra last Saturday without saluting
and with decks in fighting trim, the great
est excitement reigned here in Caracas, as
It was known that President Castro's new
French coast defense guns, mounted on
the mountainside above La Guayra and
on the beach, had been made ready to
meet any emergency. Speculation waa
rife as to whether the warship would
bring an apology for the De Reus letter
and the stoning of Consul Lopes In cura
coa, a demand for the Immediate release
of Carlos Perret Gentil, a Dutch mer
chant of La Guayra recently imprisoned
on a contraband charge, or an ultimatum
of some kind.
The curious were doomed to disappoint
ment, however, as the unexpected hap
pened, as It usually does here. The cruis
er was not allowed to communicate with
the shore or deliver any of the documents
which it brought, presumably because its
failure to salute on this and recent occa
sions has been considered an offense by
President Castro. So the Gelderland had
to return to Curacoa with Its mission un
offlciated. Meanwhile the German Minister, Baron
von Zlckendorff, was fuming in Caracas
because he could not obtain permission
from the Government for the German
Consul to go alongside of the cruiser to
see if there were not soma expected dis
patches for him. Minister de Rues had
left him In charge of Dutch interests and
he was at his wits' end to know what to
do, because of the absolute impossibility
of communicating with his Government.
The Baron is about the only diplomat in
Caracas. .
BACOX SILENT ABOUT CASTRO

Plans of Revenge.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 19. Assistant Sec
retary Bacon declined today to discuss
the news from The Hague to the effect
that the War Minister has assured The
Netherlands government that this coun
try would Interpose no objection to a
blockade or other maneuvers on the part
of The Netherlands against Venezuela.
It is said, however, that the State De
partment is not in possession of any In
formation concerning the plans of The
Xetherlands.

DECIDE SUITJN 18 YEARS
Supreme Court Finally Ends Nottingham-Rankin
Case.
SALEM. Or., Aug. 19. (Special.) The
famous case of M. B. Rankin vs. C. W.
Xottingham, which has been pending in
the courts for over 18 years, was conclud
ed today when the decree of the lower
court In favor of Xottingham was af
firmed. In 1&S3 Rankin and Xottingham
were partners doing business under the
name of Tacoma Lime Company. The
same year they found a corporation which
took charge of the property and business
of the firm. Later in the year a tract of
timber land in Washington owned by the
corporation was conveyed to Xottingham
at the expressed consideration of $4000.
la 1SS0- Rankin brought this suit to corn-

pel Xottingham to account for the pro
ceeds of timber cut from the land, alleg
ing that the latter held the land in trust
for the company. The case was referred
for trial and the referee found in favor of
Xottingham and recommended that the
suit be dismissed. The referee's report
was made in 1894 but no action was taken
thereon until 1906 when Kottmgnam movea
' for confirmation of the report. Rankin
objected upon the ground that not all the
testimony had been reported. The report
was confirmed, whereupon Rankin ap
pealed to the Supreme Court- That trib
unal holds that the evidence was all re
ported, that Nottingham did not hold the
land in trust but held it in his-own right
by reason of an adjustment reimbursing
him for money Rankin had drawn from
the corporation funds In his personal ac
count. The suit is therefore ordered dis

was by Judge Fraser and that on appeal

CITY OFFICIALS 111 CLASH
DISTRICT ATTORNEY'S OFFICE
AT ODDS WITH COURT.
Refusal of Clerk to Issue Warrant
on State Charge Causes
Complications.
Angered at the refusal of Clerk Mllner,
of the Municipal Court,, to Issue a war
rant on an information of felony on a
stats charge, the office of the District
Attorney has thrown down the gaunt
let to this court, and there is every pros
pect of there being an open clash be
tween these two offices If the present
difficulty is not adjusted in some manner.
Through Chief Deputy Fitzgerald the
District Attorney's office will send word
to the Municipal Court officially today
that unless proper consideration be shown
for the applications for warrants made by
the prosecuting officer to the Police Court
the State's Attorney will refuse to trans
act its business any further through the
city court, but will take all of it to the
Justice's court.
This strained situation was brought
about yesterday afternoon in the case .of
John Volker, who was attacked and bit
ten in a Baloon row in a resort on First
street between Taylor and Salmon, now
conducted by James Anderson, who, until
a- few weeks ago, had been a patrolman
on the city police force.
After listening to tho evidence supplied
by Schulter and witnesses. Deputy Dis
trict Attorney Fitzgerald decided to file
an information of felony against Ander
son, who. it was shown, had followed Vol
ker out into the street and attacked him
from behind, because. It is said, Volker
had remonstrated with a woman habitue
of the resort for having taken some
money from one of Volker's companions.
Volker -was felled to the sidewalk and as
he arose was grasped and his nose was
bitten by the saloonman.
fiSchulter's case presented a fine point in
the law, inasmuch as mayhem is always
interpreted as being an attack by biting.
the predetermined intention of the act to
be clearly shown. An examination of the
statutes- however, shows that mayhem
may be the cutting, siittlug or otherwise
disfiguring of the nose.
Under this provision of the law the
papers in theh case were drawn and sent
to the office of the Municipal Court.
What was the surprise of the officials of
the prosecutor's office to receive a curt
reply from the clerk to the effect that
he could not issue a warrant on the
charge and referred the State's Attor
ney to the law.
It was pointed out that Clerk Milner
had far exceeded his powers as the clerk
of the court and had no right to refuse
to issue a warrant applied for from the
District Attorney's office when properly
accompanied by the sworn statements of
a complainant; that, in fact, the magis
trate has no alternative than to issue a
warrant when so requested, in any case
where there is doubt as to it being within
his tower to dismlrs the chargva.
Without further considering the Muni
cipal Court, the papers in the case were
sent to Justice Bell, who issued a war
rant for Anderson's arrest and placed it
In Constable Wagners hands for service.
It Is said that District Attorney Cameron
will seek a couftrer.ee with Judge Van
Zante today and demand that Clerk Mil
ner be curbed in his assumption of powers
which do not belong to his office.
