Plea for Old Frigate Made. Governor West Assures Fishermen. Washington, D. C.—The old frigate Constellation, built in Baltimore in 1797 when President Washington laid the foundations of the American navy, and under Captain Thomas Truxton the victor of decisive fights with the French frigates La Insurgente in 1799 and La Vengeance in 1800, which es tablished the United States as a mari time power, came into the records of congress again as a living part of the nation's establishment. An appropriation of $50,000 was asked by Representative Linthicum, of Maryland, for the “ repair and fit ting out” of the historic old ship, the oldest in the navy. The Constellation is now at Newport. The resolution would provide for her transfer to Baltimore for public exhibition. Medford—Governor West while here recently with Secretary of the Navy Daniels en route north, assured local fishermen that he would make a per sonal effort to see that the new state law requiring fish screens in irrigation ditches preventing the destruction of numberless trout fry, be enforced. He aiao said he would either accom pany the Medford good roads delega tion to the good roads meeting at Eureka, Cal., August 21, or would ac company the party escorting Secre tary of the Interior Lane to Crater Lake on August 22.

According to th e rules of th e party, all who desired had the rig h t to make an address, so this request w as readily granted. Since no one asked for this m an's name, it was not disclosed. Ha walked calm ly forw ard, closely foV towed by a short, fat man who stopped only when his tall frieud mounted the platform . T his tall man was dressed In a gray trav elin g suit. Instead of m ourning, but on his arm was a broad black band. All the atten tio n of the g reat audi ence was centered on the ath letic f i g ure and the sunburnt, fran k face ol the young man. A stra's Instrum ent showed these details to h e r as plainly aa if she w ere sittin g In one of the boxes, and she was thrilled as his eyes seem ed to look stra ig h t Into hers. "Ladles and G entlem en,” he began.

As he opened his m outh to speak again, th e large helioboard began to show m any colored zig-zag sp ark s and th e audience w atched It In apprehen« slon; the w hole atm osphere was charged w ith an Inexplicable feeling of expectation.
