Badly After Trials
Oy Associated Pros*)
LONDON, Joly 5.—-Seven of Great Brit
ta.in a newest ocean-going torpedo boat
destroyers have been put out of action by
■training their build while under full
■peed trials tn the heavy seas of the
English channel.
The destroyers Acorn. Alarm. Riflemen
and Laren reached Portland in such a
leaky condtion that all available divers
were requisitioned to close the gaps In
their seams, pending docking.
The trouble was the result of the tre
mendous vibration of the powerful en
gines driving the little war ships at a
■peed of 29 knots through the rough wat
er. The rivets of the plates were start
ed in all directions, opening gaps which
caused the water to pour into the oil
bunkers and rendering the fuel useless.

BY ADJUTANT GENERAL MICKLE
Aartroieted Press.)
MOBILE, Ala.. July 4,-Adjt. Gen. Wik
liam E. Mickle, of the United Confeder
ate veterans, today gave the following
expressions to the Associated Preas on
the death of General Evans:
“General Evans was a remarttable man
and his career as an officer In the Con
federate army was as glorious and
brilliant as his life as a private citlsen
was pure, modest and retiring .
"He entered the army df the Confed
eracy on the breaking out of hbstlllties
as a private and by sheer merit rose
to the rank of brigadier general, which
was given him in 1861. He had for such
a length of time, had charge of a division
and carried it into action on eo many
occasions with such conspicuous gallant
ry that I shared the opinion held by
many that he was a major general. He
was beloved by his men who appreciated
his reckless bravery, and would follow
him Into any ’action.

WILL ADMIRAL TOGO
VISIT NAVY YARDS?
NEW YORK July 4 —There is some
speculation in government circles here
■■ to whether Secretary Meyer’s order
of yesterday closing navy yards in part
to visiting naval officers, from foreign
countries, will be strictly enforced
against Admiral Togo, who is to visit
New York next month.
In the last few years many foreign
officers have been entertained at the
navy yard here and conducted through
every part of the great plant. Under
the new order foreign visitors may in
spect the essential sections of the navy
yards and see some ships, but they
may not visit places whence it will be
possible to make an accurate estimate
of the equipment, capacity and mater
ial in the yards.
Admiral Togo, who will land here
I August 4, will no doubt be invited to
the navy yard and officers are won
dering if his visit will be restricted.
TO CUT EXPENSES
IN THE NAVY YARDS
WASHINGTON, July 4.—Rear Admiral
Young and Captain Helm, commandants
respectively of the Pensacola and New
Orleans navy yards, will be ordered
shortly to attend the "summer confer-
I ence" at the naval war college at New
port and probably will not return to
their present stations. The department
in connection with its plan to reduce the
expenses of these two yards to a mini
mum probably will place as commandants
I of the yards officers of a lower rank.
The removal of the dry dock at Pensa
cola to the naval station at Guantanamo
Is also under consideration. Tho New
I Orleans dock cannot be disturbed, how-
I ever, without the consent of enngrfeee as
the appropriation under which It wks con
structed stipulated that It was for New
Orleans.

DRAMATIC CRITIC OF
NEW YORK SUN DEAD
NEW York, July s.—Franklin Fyles.
for 30 years dramatic editor and critic

“PEOPLE DOUBTING
GOODNESS OF GOD”
CAMBRIDGE. Mass., July s.—*‘Th«
church proclaims liberty, equality, fra
ternity. It is a lie,” declared the Rev.
F. B. Boyer, of New Bedford, In an ad
dress yesterday by the New England con
ference for church work, in progress at
the Episcopal Theological seminary.
“The world is tired of the church of
Christ making excuses to Mammon," he
continued. “The formulas of a Christian
commonwealth are still read In our
churches,, but they are very Wtte prac
ticed. The church lays great stress on
life after death, but the workman, strug
gling for bread, believes that God ought
to prove his justice here. They want a
God who is working here today, not a
God of yesterday. The people are be
ginning to doubt the goodness of God;
they are beginning to doubt the very ex
istence of God.”

Canvas Targets Held up by
Kites Will Be Used in
Maneuvers
WASHINGTON, July 4.—Targets for
the aeroplane practice of the Atlantic
fleet and the seacoast forts during the
August maneuvers will consist of sheets
of canvas shaped to represent dirigible
balloons and aeroplanes. These will be
suspended from batt arise of powerful
box kites, just as large American uags
are often carried hundreds of feet In the
air.
The present Intention is to direct at
these targets nothing more formidable
than the army rifle, the marines and sol
diers firing in squads and a careful
record being made of the damage in
flicted upon the targets.
Some of the small three-inch boat
guns may have a try at the targets, but
owing to the fact that the guns cannot
be elevated very much they must do
their shooting at long range while the
targets are low down upon the horizon.
The army ordnance bureau is working
hard to perfect a gun that may be safe
ly elevated to shoot into the zenith, but
while a suitable carriage has been de
vised, no practicable way has been
found to adjust the sights of such a
gun because of th« variance In the
trajectory of the projectile at the differ
ent elevations.
GUARANTEE COMPANY x
WILL NOT APPEAL
NEW YORK June 30.—The Guar
anty Trust company will not appeal
from Federal Judge Moyes recent de
cision overruling the company's demur
rer In a suit brought by a Liverpool
cotton buyer to recover for losses from
forged bills of lading. Instead the
company will ask that the case be
brought to trial. A trial probably
cannot be had before fall.
This action which was brought by
Anthony 8. Hanny, of Liverpool, in
volves directly only >7,320 but it Is
looked upon as a test case which ie
likely to settle claim* exceeding >»,-
000,000 incurred by bankers who ac
cepted forged bills of lading drawn up
by Knight, Yancey & Co., and Bteele,
Miller & Co. Southern cotton interests
are disturbed over the suit since it
will mean a considerable increase in
the cots of collecting their bills, If it
is finally decided against the New
York bankers. The latter have been in
the habit pt leaving to the foreign
banks on which drafts are drawn the
question of the cotton sellers reliabil
ity and have never indorsed bills pass
ing through their hands. If the court
shall hold that by acting as an inter
mediary between the cotton men and
the foreign banks, the local banks be
come responsible for the genuineness
of the bills of lading they will demand
a / much higher price tor their services
as guarantors.

VALDOSTA, Ga., /July 4.—The record
er’s court yesterday lasted all day long
and the docket was the largest that has
been seen here in years. The police of

and they were fined from $1 to $5, old
offenders being given the heavy fines.
About 15 dog owners were also before
the recorder on a charge of owning a

FIRST COTTON BOLL
IS SEEN IN QUITMAN
QUITMAN, Ga., June 30.—The first open
cotton boll of the season In this county
was brought to town this morning by O.
B. Rogers, of Spain. The boU was well
grown, but appeared to have opened pre
maturely. By the middle of July the
picking season will begin, and the cot
ton will begin to come in the market
by August 1.
From one end of the county to the
other the farmers report the cotton to
be loaded with fruit and unless some
unforseen disaster comes, the biggest
crop ever known in the county will be
gathered. The weather conditions so far
have been favorable to all crops, and It
promises to be a jubilee year with the
farmers.
