MAY INCREASE LIST LATER Nearly $15,000,000 Included "in Budjret., to Provide for Ves sels, Cruisers, Submarines and Airships. LONTXr, March 12. The British naval estimates, which were issued tonight and show an Increase) of close to $16,000,000 over the estimate of last year, possibly will fail to please the big men of the navy, but they fully prove that it is the government's determination to keep pace with the other naval powers, and that no halt is likely to be called in the international competition for superior naval armaments. In addition to four new "Dread nougrhts" the government seeks the power to start building, if necessary, in 1910. four additional large armored ves sels. The type of these ships is not in dicated in the estimate, but it is gen erally expected they are to be two battle ships of the "Dreadnought" type and two armored cruisers. There is little doubt however that this will depend upon the progress made in Germany's battleship construction. Xo Direct Comparison Made. The report of Reginald McKenna, First Lord of the Admiralty, naturally makes no reference to foreign powers, and fur ther light on the Government's intention must be-awaited until the estimates are discussed in parliament. An interesting point Is that the ad miralty is considering the use of dirigible airships for naval purposes, and it is decided to carry out experiments to this end. Under Mr. McKenna'a programme Great Britain should have by the end of 1911 14 vessels of the "Dreadnought" type against 13 then to be completed by Ger many. Powerful I'leet at Home. Mr. McKenna says two of the ' new "Dreadnoughts" will be commenced in July and the other two in November, 1909. He also announces the absorption of the Channel fleet Into the Home fleet, as an nounced in these dispatches, which will place 22 fully manned battleships and 14 fullyjnanned armored cruisers in the home waters. uuuuujs jirugrammfl proviaes lor 4 Dreadnaughts, 6 protected cruisers, 20 torpedo-boat destroyers and-a number of submarines, the Jatter to cost $3,000,000. lieutenant Ivoop Pleads Guilty.

' CITIZENS ARREST FIGHTERS 'o Policeman In Sight and Bystand ers Take Law Into Own Hands. There being no police in sight and none available apparently to prevent two men who were fighting viciously from serious ly injuring each other. Dr. V. I. Arm- strong and M. E. . Gibson, two private citizens, took the law Into their no-n : hands last night and arrested Harry j acouon, a Kussian, aged 22. and Frank Marlow,. aged 25. laboring men. T"acoson and Marlowe got into an altercation over a Slo debt and were attacking each other savagely at the comer of Second and Market streets. The afTray was noticed bv Dr. Arm strong from the window of his house, 225 Market stree't, shortly before 10 o'clock. Fearing the men would cripple them selves. Dr. Armstrong joined M. B. Gib son, whom he met on the street, and separating the fighters. placed them under arrest and marched them off to the police station. In spite of the vicious ness with which the two men were be laboring each other they did not seem to resent the interference of private citizens and meekly accompanied them to'the sta tion, where each was placed in a cell, charged with fighting. Dr. Armstrong has an office in the Hamilton building and is well known in the city as is also Mr. Gibson, who is a business onan con nected with the Gibson Manufacturing Company, room 401 Lumber Exchange building.

As a result of a nearly all night session of the executive committee of the State Woolgrowers' Association, held here behind closed doors, an Ore gon man will probably be dispatched to "Washington for the purpose of pre senting data as to the cost of produc ing wool in Oregon, to the ways and means committee. The report that the tariff on wool was to be reduced was responsible for the meeting, and it is understood that a plan was perfected to secure figures showing that the cost of producing wool is now greater than ever before. The Chicago warehouse plan was brought up and a meeting of all the wool growers of the state to be held in this city May 1 to take final action upon the proposition was ordered by the committee. Secretary Smythe says two or three million pounds of Oregon wool will be shipped to Chicago re gardless of the action taken by the meeting. , The schedule of wool sales dates, sub-, mitted by the buyers was not wholly' acceptable to the growers, and soma changes have been recommended.

Minister of Finance, 1Vho Is Xot In Favor of Giving Xavy Cash, Ex pected to Resign. PARIS. March 12. France, like the United States, is confronted with a big deficit In her revenues. The budget of 1909 necessitated the Issue of $12,000,000 In treasury bonds, while the regular esti mates for 1910 show a deficit of $45,600,000. The situation complicates the proposal to revise the French tariff, and It already has precipitated a quarrel between M. Calllaux, Minister of Finance, and M. Plcard. Minister of Marine, over the in sistence of the latter on large credits to restore the efficiency of naval material. Scandalous corruption In the matter of contracts revealed lately by M. Plcard has startled the country, and the Min ister of Marine has practically refused to continue in office unless he is granted sufficient funds to put the navy in first class order. It has been learned that a regular monopoly existed among the navy con tractors, who charged exorbitant prices and made enormous profits. M. Brousse. a member of the Chamber or Deputies, who Investigated the navy accounts in behalf of the finance committee, reports that millions have been swallowed up without any benefit to the navy. In one case boilers coating $150,000 were pur chased for ships that were put out of commission before the boilers were fur nished. Premier Clemenceau supports M. Plc ard in his attitude, and M. Calllaux' po sition is regarded as no longer tenable It Is thought that he will tender his res ignation at tomorrow's meeting of the Cabinet, and that he will be replaced by Minister of Commerce Cuppl. In this event M. Klotc probably will become Minister or Commerce. CONDENSED NEWS BY WIRE Monterey. M. The Juri Theater here wss destroyed by Are Thtmdtv night, caus ing a loss estimated at $1:30.000.
