NAVAL POLICY.
ESSENTIAL TO HIGH STATUS
Says Australians Muit Build Their
Own Navy and Become a World
Power, Irrespective . of Great
Britain.
MELBOURNE, Sept. 2. Speaking
nt the dinner tendered to Rear Ad
miral Spcrry and the senior officers
of the American battleship fleet at
the Royal Vacht Club tonight Alfred
Dcakin, the premier said:
"The appearance of the American
fleet indicates that it is on no holiday
cruise. Its arrival marks for us no
was' given in a spirit, of deepest earn
estness after sober consideration, and
the concessions made by the American
government in sending: the fleet here
is perhaps the most generous made
in recent time by one nation to an
other. The . .. American battleships
show the la.st word in the art of na
val construction and the lesson to
Australians is that America was un
able to take a first place in the world
until the country had a first class na
vv. nccause until then, on v an a to
rotest verbal v aeainst outs de in-
mstices and inmrv. sn Australia ran
'
not De content to ultimately accept
defense at any other hands than its i
own and should begin provision fori
its own navy in a modest way."
Heavy rains prevailed throughout
last night btit at noon today the wea

continents of officers and men of the
American fleet visited Rallnrat and
Bcndigo.
Admiral Sncrrv and his staff, to.

of the governor, Sir Thomas Gibson
Carmichael. The officers lunched at the club
while the men were furnished eatables
of which they partook in the open

A baseball game was played in the

NEW YORK, Sept. 2.-Denying
the right of a coroner's physician ito
perform an autopsy when it is not
necessary to determine the cause of
death and denying particularly the
right of the physician to remove the
organs of a body even though that
action may add to the medical know
ledge of the world, Mrs. Mary Has
sard, has brought action against Dr.
Timothy D. Lehane for $25,000 dam
ages.
Airs. Hassard's son, Francis, 29
years old, died on April 2, 1907 as a
result of an injury sustained by fal
ling from a coach. Mrs. Hassard al
leges in her complaint that immed
iately after that, without warrant in
law and. without her knowledge, or
permission, Dr. Lehane performed an
autopsy and did not return to the
body the heart and spleen after he
removed them,
It is said the spleen is of extraor
dinary size; weighing more than 13
pounds, and that it has been viewed
by many physicians.
Mrs. Hassard's daughter says that
she saw these organs in Dr. Lehane'
home and he told her that he had re
tained them in the interests of medical
science. When Dr. Lehane received
the complaint he took it to the cor
poration counsel, who will defend the
case. In the answer served, on Mrs.
Hassard's counsel, Dr. Lehane makes
a general denial of the charges.
THREE RING FIGHTS TO COME
OF IN CALIFORNIA
NEXT "WEEK
ABE M0RAN TO L'EET ATTEL
The Other Two Matches Are Between
Stanley Ketchel and BHly Papke
and Battling Nelsoa Versus Joe
Gana.
iAN FRANCISCO, Sept 2.-Three
pugilistic contests, each involving the
championship of its respective class
will be decided in California next
week. One of them is an internati
onal match between Owen Moran
the English champion, and Abe At-
tel, the holder of the featherweight
title in America. The other two are
between Stanley Ketchel and Billy
Papke for the middleweight champi
onship and Battling Nelson and Joe
Cans for , the lightweight title. In
every case the fights are what might
be termed as return matches, as all
have met their respective opponents
in a previous battle.
Ketchel and Papke and Moran and
Attel will fight on September 7, the
former two at Los Angeles and the
latter at San Francisco both contests
taking place in the afternoon. Two
days later, September 9, Joe Cans
and Battling Nelson will meet for
the third time, this fight also taking
place in the afternoon. Not since the
famous boxing carnival at New Or-
leans in 1890, when Jim Corbett won
the championship from John L. Sul
livan have so many important ring
engagements been scheduled to cohie
off within three days.
The boxers are all declared to be
fit at this time and tickets have al
ready been placed on sale in this city
and Los Angeles for the two fights
occurring on September 7 Labor
Day. Joe Cans, who lost the light
weight championship to Nelson Ju
ly 4, is now declared to be in much
better physical shape than when he
was doing his preparatory work for
the last previous engagement. The
betting, however, so far as it has de
veloped is favoring Nelson, the odds
being 10 to 8.- Ketchel is a verv
strong favorite over Papke and in
the Moran-Attel battle the American
rules favorite at 10 to 9. ' , .

TOLEDO, O., Sept. 2.-The next
annual encampment of the G. A. R.,
unless there are unexpected develop
ments at the encampment meeting
Thursday, will be held at Salt Lake
City, Utah. Washington, Dl C, does
not want it because that city will
have the inauguration in the spring;
Pittsburg will want it in 1910 when
the new memorial building is ready
for dedication. Atlanta, Ga., is mak-i
ing no effort to secure it and Seattle
is in favor of Salt Lake. This situa
tion leaves the Utah city the only
candidate for the honor.
