FIGHTING BOB SUSTAINS MANY
OF HENRY REUTERDAHL'S CHARGES
(United Press Leased Wire.)
, Washington, May SO. In a report is
sued as a senate document. Rear Ad
miral Evans sustains many ef the
charges made against tha United Statea
navy by Henry Reuterdanl in a recent
msjraalne article. - i. , .
The former eommander-tn-chlef oi
the Atlantic fleet frankly , agrees with
the author-artist, for Instance, that the.
height of the deck should be Increased
and their views on the - main armor
plate are nearly tha same. On this
vital question, Admiral vana says If
these belts had been placed about sue
Inches pr one foot higher better pho
tection might have been afforded.
Reuterdahl's statement that the ships
are Inadequately protected from attack
by torpedo boats Is also, upheld by the
admiral. i
Evana declares that all flying and
after bridges, except those on flagships,
are unnecessary and that the holata are
altogether too alow for hoisting ammo
nltlon required by the rapid-fire modem
guns.
On the question of freeboards and the
height of the broadside guns the board
of construction of the navy does not
agree with Admiral Evans and says con
cerning the location of the main armor
belt:
The distribution of armor protection
on battleships, like so many other ques
tions relating to battleship design. Is
necessarily a compromise, and the fun
damental principles governing such dis
tribution, -which have been - heretofore
observed, are In the opinion of the
board entirely sound and should be ad
hered to In the future. -

than 1,000 spectators pot Inside the

streets and hills on both sides of the
field, and when the most exquisite py
rotechnlo display that has ever been
seen In the west began the air was
rent by tlie admiring shouts of the
thousands f onlookers, and when as
climax to all the pieces that had gone
before a most life-like portrait of Ore-
?on;s great governor limned In gorgeous
ire against the night, the shouts
swelled to a continuous roar.
Seal Bash Troin Volcano.
Ho manv and thrilllne- are the vari
ous features of the great spectacle that
It is difficult to say wiuon is tne mam
feature. Probably the one most remem
bered Is the eruption of Vesuvius and
the destruction of Naples. 80 reallstlci
Is It that when the walls Of the minia
ture Naples began to crash In and the
lava streams of molten fire poured In
furious streams down the sides of the
mountain 200 local workmen employed
by Pain about the grounds did a true to
life flight from the volcano. So hur
ried was the flight of show (people that
many were knocked down and trampled
over In the rush. Fortunately no one
was hurt. .
Immediately following ths eruption
scene the fireworks began, and it Is
safe to say that such a varied and love
ly display of beautiful figures have
never been seen before this side of
New York.
"Portland Boss Shown,
Perhaps the most beautiful of all
was a naturally colored Imitation of
one of Portland's roses. This was so
vivid that those who saw It must have
thought they ha gone to sleep ana
reached fairy land. -
A mammoth flerv fountain with
streams of fire pouring as naturally as
water, a revolving sun, an exquisite
Grand Army badge In the colors of the
organization, and a gorgeous Imitation
of Niagara Falls are some of tha flra
pictures that send thrills creeping
through the most blase sightseer.

REGARDING LAW ILNFORCEMILNT
Two years ago I was elected on a platform, pledging the enforcement of all laws without fear or
favor and I have lived up to my ni--ge. Early in my term I served notice in all quarters where there had
been law breaking in the past, that nothing unlawful would be tolerated so long-as I was sheriff, I also
told these parties on whom suspicion rested that I meant what I said and that I did not care to go down
with a big noise and a corps of reporters and make a spectacular raid every few days in order to keep
in the public eye, but that the laws must be obeyed. There has been less gambling and less trouble with
the liquor traffic during my administration than ever-before and this has left my force free to round Bp
horse thieves, burglars, and other dangerous criminals. As evidence that my work has been satisfactory,
I submit the following verbatim copy of an unsolicited letter received hy,me soon after I began en
forcing the Sunday closing lw:
Portland Municipal Association
f Portland, Oregon, June 20, 1907.' '
R. L. Stevens, Esq.;
1 Dear Sir: At the monthly meeting of the Executive Board of this Association, ( .
. ' . held on the 18th inst, I was directed to write you expressing our hearty appreciation
of your prompt and effective action in the gambling case at Woodstock, and of the
- ' - share which you have taken in enforcing Sunday closing of saloons. -
Thanking you on behalf of the Board, I remain,
; .: Yours faithfully, ' '
, , ; (Signed) JOHN BAIN. Secretary.
For the maintenance of good order and respect of the law, I am not entitled to special commenda
tion as I was only fulfilling my obligation to the people who elected me in the belief that I would enforce
the laws as I found them. - If reelected, I will continue to enforcement and so long as public jrntirnrnt,
- vttirh n responsible for the orieinal closing of gambling and restricting of other. evils, is with me, I
will experience ho difficulty and wilt require no noisy notoriety or spectacular raids to assist me.
.. . Soliciting the support of all voters who are favorable to a clean, economical busmega Sumiaib
