Utai H 1 Hfll AT THF Mio SIP SjiLesson Taught by Mis III take of the Big I Delaware I Washington, Sept. 5. A valuable I 3 lesson for use In ww has been drawn l by naval experts from the report that rt i the Dreadnought Delaware, through mistake, fired at the repair ship Pan rtj Ifther Instead of the battleship San .Marcos in the ordnance experiments y; in Chesapeake bay a few days ago. x The fact that the Delaware lost its 5 target and pointed its gun at a vessel anchored 1,500, yards from the San -r Marcos, demonstrates, it is claimed, '?that a ship in battle will not be able i to center its Are upon any particular ; vessel of the enemy at the great " range at which any future combats ikwill be waged say, 16,000 yards. Wv' However carefully a commander ft" may draw his plans they may ico awry i'H if he endeavors to match ship to ship Mi with the opposing forces. Whenever J- an enemy's fleet appears upon the ttf horizon, some experts claim, the war- K ships must open flro upon any and 1 all of them. J The reported mistake of the Dela- Ilfjt ware has served to increase the ap It prehension which invariably pervades tL the nav department during the tar fir get practice period that some seri h ous mishap may mar the exercises. jj While there have been many narrow I , escapes in the past, there has never n L been an accident to a naval or mer :l chant vessel through lack of precau I I tion or misdirected fire. The Atlan U I tic fleet is now off the Chesapeake lift capes, demolishing targets. Extraor Wr dinary care is being tajten to see that Bjr merchant steamers are kept out of w range. m. ksj Ml i ., a n M it A j B"Y B xf tf jn? I h ff Ohtv f I Kansas Poet Made the Goat in the Sin- clair Scandal Kansas City. Sept. 5. Harry Kemp, the Kansas poet, named by Upton Sinclair, the author, in divorce pro ceedings instituted against Mrs. Sin clair, in a letter to a Kansas City Mend, declares he was the "goat" iu the Sinclair matrimonial tangle. Kemp has found, he says, that he was the means by which Sinclair obtained columns of free space in the news '. papers "I reajize now," the poet wrote, "that I was the 'goat and I was ', caught and here I am just beginning to see how easy 1 was. But It's over with now and Twill have to nnke the best of it. Up i "I came to visit Sinolair at his lujJ homo in Arden, as I had done before. rtji I Mrs Sinclair and I were working jS $ along the same lines and naturally ifc we fell In with each other a great .! deal. "Sinclair gave everything to the jfif v newspapers about mo. He told them i'A , nil the stories and, of course, they ! '.; we:e arranged so that he got the lS beat of them. Of course I am dls- W graced and I am sorry that it all Jm 1 happened." I ! WYOMING DISPLACES '( THE CONNECTICUT Iff? '. Washington, Sept. 5. Probably ltjg within a year, the battleship Con Mi necticut, America's most famous flag- I ship, will surrender the banner of Rear 1 Admiral Hugo Ostcrhaus, commander- H in-chief of the Atlantic fleet to the dreadnought Wyoming, now nearing 1 i completion, which has been selected for the signal distinction of being i flagship of tho navy's real force. The -Connecticut was the flagship of the fleet on the famous crulBe around the world. From her deck, first Rear Admiral Evans and later Rear Admiral Sperry I directed the course of tho battleships in the unprecedented voyage. Because of this honor, much senti ment surrounds the Connecticut and it Is with reluctance that the naval officials have decided to displace her as the flagship of the battleship fleet. As tho Wyoming will have a dis- placement of 26,000 tonB, or 10,000 ' tons greater than that of tho Con necticut, the secretary of the navy has concluded that the latter will be so - far outclassed that she muBt give way . to her mightier sister, WTille the Delaware, North Dakota, Utah and ," Florida all arc larger than the Con necticut, the difference 1b not suffl Y cient to cause a change in the flag- ' ship The Wyoming, and its twin, the Arkansas, will bo the greatest vessels ': atIoat- . , .

The action i of President Taft on the Arizona I statehood bill eliminating the recall of the judiciary, was denounced, as an attempt at the bribery of a people, by Senator Moses E. Clapp of Min nesota, at a banquet given tonight b5 the Direct Legislation league. "What shall we say of a policy to force an electorate to forswear Us convictions as the price of admis sion to the Union?" he said. "It sav ors of the dark ages. It is an attempt at the bribery of a people There are two cases of bribery now being investigated by the senate, yet in the face of that, here Is an attempt to bribe a whole people. JheMnsult to the people of Arizona will react on the opponents of the recall of the judiciary and will do much to further the recall of the judiciary through out the United States "The fight against the recall of the judiciary Is tho last stand of special interests." Senator Clapp also attacked the Payne-Aldrich tariff law, advocated woman's suffrage, and outlined the benefits to be derived from tho pass age of the Initiative, referendum and recall amendments to the constitution -of California, which will be voted on October 10.

Calling all bets off on the Gotch-Hackenschmidt wrest ling match yesterday has raised a storm of protests 'by those who had money up on the winner. Herman F. Schuettler, assistant chief of po lice, last night explained the action by saying that such procedure is cus tomary. An added jeason ho said, is that the police' are determined to stamp out gamming in the city. "Referee Smith," Chief Schuettler explained, "proposed that the bets be called off His reason was that In case the match turned out to be a poor one, as It did, there would be a tre mendous 'squawk' from the bettors, and that the wrestling game-would re ceive a serious 'setback in Chicago "You understand it is quite custom arv fo call "bets pff-inevents of this kind, irhas hfdoeffwrrI-atbebe! tors will back their opinions regard less of the announcement "One more fiasco like this, and wrestling Is a dead card in Chicago."

After asking Henry Clay Beattle, Jr., indicted for wife murder, the one question as to how he could account for the transition of the same shotgun from the hands of Paul Beattle, his cousin, on Saturday nigtit, to the j hands of tho alleged highwayman on the following Tuesday night, the pros- , ecutlon ended Its cross-examination of tho prisoner today. The accused denied that he knew" his cousin Paul had a gun on the Saturday night in . question, or that he was with him during that week. The commonwealth thereupon be gan its attack, ori the prisoner's story. The rebuttal was practically an at tempt to corroborate Paul Beattle as to his alleged meeting with Henry on Tuesday n!ght to arrange for the de livery of a shotgun to his cousin on tho Saturday following. Several witnesses testlf'ed that they Saw the two cousins together on Thursday, and Mrs. E. J. Houchens, mother-in-law of Paul, stated that Henry brought Paul home In a ma Chine' that same evening A second point taken up by the com monwealth was an assault on E. H.

Mr' Wenderburg said ho onlv in tended to ask one or two questions. "Mr. Beattle," he began, "will you explain how the same gun which your cousin bought on Saturlav night was in the woods on the Midlothian turnpike that night?" "1 didn't know anything about the gun. I didn't Pee it until the highway man raised It.' "And will you admit that if your wife had not suggested the ride, you would not have been there?" "No, my mind wasn't made up as to thp ride when mv wife suggested it." "Well, how did the man with the gun know that you and your wlfo .-., nincr ,,r )hn mail ihnf nicht?" "We protest," said counsel for the defense, and the Judge sustained them. Mr. Wende'nburg here concluded his cross-examination.

GERMAN NAVAL REVIEW. Kiel, Germany, Sept. "5. The great German naal fleet was reviewed by Emperor William In the harbor here this morning, thousands of spectators observing the fleet as it could take to sea tomorrow for action If necessary. The three newest battleships of the Ostfrlestand type, did not join the fleet for the review, as technically they are still undergoing trials. Though fully completed, these threo 30,000-ton warships remained at ar.-, chor in the harbor and saluted the emperor as he passed out of the bay to 'board the flagship Deutschland. The sky at daybreak was covered with clouds and rain threatened to ' spoil the spectacle. Later, however, the weather brightened and a fa.r view of the great armada was obtain- i able, when the Imperial acht Hohen- j zollern. with the emperor and his party on board, weighed anchor at 9 j o'clock and steamed out to join the fleet.
