Mulcted U, S. of Millions. WASHINGTON. May 19.—Sensa tional charge* of a maladministration of naval fund* that has cost the Gov ernment over f6.n0ft.000 and endan gered the impregnability of the moat formidable vessels in the American fleet were made against the Taft ad ministration to-day by Senator Ash- urst, of Arizona, who has a resolution before the Senate tailing for an in vestigation of Glass A armor plate contracts awarded the armor plate trust for the dreadnought Pennsyl vania. "My investigation of this matter, . said the Senator, "has convinced me that a most deplorable state of af fairs existed with regard to the pur- chaw of armor plate during the last administration As I have heretofore stated in the case of the dreadnought Pennsylvania. approximately 8,000 tons of Class A plate was let to the trust at $454 per ton. I have an ex pert who is willing to testify that a good profit could he made on such plate at a price of $254 per ton. "The difference in these prices net ted the trust $1.6OQ.O0ft. Millions in Swollen Profits. "I wlfh to add to that statement that if those figure* he found to he correct. Glass A armor plate contracts on the dreadnoughts Arkansan. Neva da, Texas and Florida, which were let to the trust at $420 per ton, netted that organization a swollen profit of $4,571,972 on 24.542 tons of this com modity. None of this material, I am credibly informed, was passed upon by a Government expert, for the very simple reason that there was no man in the employ of this country capable | of this important duty. ‘I am not a Jingoist or a large navy | man." continued the Senator, "but 1 do want the United States to get a square deal, and I intend to see this matter through to the finish." The Senator said that for years the .Midvale Steel Company, the Carnegie Steel Company and the Bethlehem Steel Company, comprising an abso lute monopoly in the manufacture of armor plate, had maintained a lobby In Washington and that they had con spired to mulct the Government of millions of dollars. In this connection, the Senator called attention to the investigation started in the House some years ago by John Sharp Williams, which re sulted in tlw# finding of a defective plate, ahd in the fining of the Car negie Steel Company. This and other armor plate, said the Senator, had been furnished the Government at a profit of approximately 50 per cent. Senator Ashurst declared that not only would he push his resolution for the investigation of the contracts of Class A armor plate for the dread nought Pennsylvania, but that he would endeavor to enlist his col leagues In a campaign to break up the armor plate trust and substitute Gov ernment manufacture of this com modity. At the Bureau of Ordnance of th* Navy Department it was ascertained that approximately 8,000 tons of Class A armor plate had been let to the trust at $454 per ton for the dread nought Pennsylvania, and 27.542 of Class A plate had been let to the .name organization for the building of the dreadnoughts Arkansas, Nevada. Texas and Florida.

White City Park Now Open WOULD LIFT DUTY ID PUNISH TRUSTS Iowa Senator Proposes Putting All Goods Made by Monopo lies on Free List. WASHINGTON, May 111. Senator Kenyon of Iowa to-day introduced in the Senate an amendment to the tar iff bill which provides that when a concern has been declared by the courts a monopoly within the mean ing of the Sherman law. the products controlled, or substantially controlled, by it shall go on the free list.

May 19.—Cobb County officers to-day are searching for unknown men who early yester day wrecked with dynamite a ten ant house on the farm of .lames T. Anderson, eight miles from Ma rietta. The house was occupied by a negro foreman. It is believed the same men are responsible for this as for other dep redations in this county in recent months, ail directed against negroes in efforts to drive them from this section. Heretofore one store was burned near the Kennesaw Marble Company’s plant and several notices were posted in conspicuous places warning negroes to leave. The per petrators became so bold that special watchmen were employed at many factories and mills in and near the city where negro labor is employed. Mr. Anderson’s foreman was one of those warned to leave and did so, but a month ago was prevailed on by Mr. Anderson to return. Early Sunday occupants of the foreman's house were thrown from their beds by a#terrific explosion. No one was injured, as they were sleep ing at the far end from where the dynamite was set off. Investigation revealed that the per petrators had driven in a buggy to within 30 feet of the house and, with a long pole, had pushed the dynamite under the building, setting it off wtth a three-foot fuse. They drove off be fore it had time to explode. The Sheriff was notified and hur ried to ine scene with a posse and dogs, but the buggy tracks could not be followed. Gitizens here are indignant over these continued depredations and have started a fund as a reward for the apprehension of the guilty parties, who are supposed to be low-class white men. Mr Anderson declares that his fore man is an industrious negro who does not interfere with outsiders and sel dom leaves the place.

F. VonHerrmann. Section Director of the United States Weather Bureau, Monday announced that Atlanta is in the path of an ap proaching heat wave. Local temper' alure, which Sunday registered at its height 88 tfegrees, is on the rise. Tues day will see a temperature of 90 de grees, Mr. VonHerrmann said, and advances above this will follow rap idly. Monday morning at 7 .o'clock the thermometer registered 72, but grad ually rose'ot 89 degrees. “Summer weather's arrival in At lanta is rather late this year, how ever." remarked the forecaster. "As a rule we have 90 degrees dtiring the first five days of the month. With the advent of the 90s in temperature summer is generally understood to be on in full force. The weather will continue to have maximum degrees of 90 and above until in October. The last day for a maximum of 90 de grees in October during the last dec ade was in 1911, when we bad no more high temperatures after the third day." Hot All Over East. Mr. •* Vonrterrmann's report for Monday read as follows: "The weather is generally clear over most of the country east of the Rocky Mountains, excepting that showers fell during the past 24 hours at a few# stations on the North Pacific coast and in the St. Lawrence Valley. The temperatures in the East are high, especially in the eastern portion of the cotton belt "A moderate disturbance exists this morning over Colorado, with the at mospheric pressure below 29.65 inches at Denver. This is accompanied oy generally cloudy threatening weather over the entire country’ cast of the Mississippi River. "Temperatures are generally above 40 degrees* this morning except at a few places. Conditions are favorable for thunder showers to-night or Tuesday.” Despite the approaching hot weath er. the nights will continue to be cool, according to Mr. VonHerrmann. “Atlanta enjoys the coolest nights during the summer of almost any other Southern city. 1 would advise everyone to fH up sleeping porches. A good rest at night, unannoyed by heat, will enable a person to withstand the hot day*' much easier than otherwise. Let Ice Water Alone. "Above all, people should not drink cold liquids during the summer. They are most destructive to the vitality. ‘‘The best way to handle children, especially babies, in hot weather is to put as few clothes as possible on them and then let them alone. Do not wrap hot, stuffy blankets around the babies or put safety pins next tn their bodies. Place them on the floor, W’here they will come in contact with nothing that would induce warmth. Babies suffer from heat more than grown persons." President Thinks Belief That Americans Regard Them as Inferior Riled Orientals, WASHINGTON. May 19.—The State Department Indicated to-day that the administration has completed its con sideration of all points in the reply to the Japanese protest against the Cal ifornia land law. and it will be trans mitted to Viscount Chlnda. Japanese Ambassador, either to-night or to morrow. when, it is anticipated, the State Department will make public n official statement outlining both sides in the controversy. Secretary of State Bryan believes this will be the best method of rid ding the nation of Its "war scare.” Calls Pride Cause of Row. That President Wilson believes the root of the whole trouble lies in the national pride of the Japanese was indicated at the semi-weekly news paper Cabinet meeting to-day. The President has concluded that Japan is not so much annoyed by the Webb bill as at the intimation that Americans do not wish to meet the Orientals on equal terms. This fee 1 - ing. he considers, was born of the Chinese exclusion act. See Insult to Nation. The Japanese, as a nation, do not care particularly whether their broth ers hold land in California, but they feel a prohibition of this provides an insult to their race and country.
