cable from the International Congress
of Safety at SeS, now sitting in Lon

States Is absolutely needed there, Sec
retary of Commerce W. C. Redfield
has wired Senator Duncan TJ. Fletch

Senator Fletcher states that It Is im
possible for him to go, as the currency
question is a vital one to his constit

private, prevent him from going.
Senator Fletcher was commissioned
by President Wilson as a member of
this cougress, and expected to attend;
but the exigencies of the congressional
session are such that he cannot leave
his post of duty.

Washington. Immediate acquire
ment and operation of oil wells and
refineries to furnish fuel for the navy,
an international conference to secure
a reduction of naval construction, the
addition of. two dreadnaughts, eight
destroyers and three submarines for
the navy during the coming year, gov
ernment manufacture of armor, more
naval chaplains and religious leaders,
better educational facilities for en
listed men and 'a graduated retire
ment law are chief recommendations
in the first annual report of Secretary
Daniels, made public.
The secretary departs from the
usual custom In addressing the pres
ident in the first person singular,
thereby adding to the directness am
force of the report's statements. Th'
report reflects his enthusiasm ove
the navy, declaring that the story o
tli.T year's work "by this patriotl
body of efficient defenders of the re
public is replete with examples o.
courage, devotion, sacrifice and prog
ress." .
The secretary says the navy was
aever in such a high state of efficien
cy as today, andthat la considering
its future needs he has given less
thought to the guns than to the men
behind the guns. Believing that the
efficiency of the navy as a fighting
force will be in the highest sense pro
moted by the adoption of a serious
and systematic course ot instruction
aboard ship and at shore stations, he
points out that the department is try
ing to make the navy a great universi
ty. Not only ordinary seamen, but
even petty officers have too little ac
curate knowledge and this will be cor
rected by a systematic course of in
struction. Midshipmen of the graduat
ing classes will be utilized as instruc
tors "with mutual benefit to the men
and themselves," and to fit them for
this work a short normal course will
be added to the naval academy curric

Jacksonville. Representative Frank
Clarke of Gainesville, Fla., issued the
following statement bearing on Kan
sas City Indictments for Everglades
land frauds:
"I saw the Interview of Commission
er of Agriculture McRae and see that
Mr. McRae seems to lament the fact
that Mr. Bolles and the other persons
indicted at Kansas City had no chance
to appear before (he grand jury.
"I desire to say that no defendant in
a criminal transaction ever has the
right to appear before the grand jury.
The grand jury simply investigates to
determine whether or not there are
facts sufficient to warrant them in put
ting the defendant on trial, and Mr.
Bolles and his fellow defendants will
have ample time to defend themselves
before a court and jury.
"I want to say further that In these
indictments the question is solely as to
the fraudulent representations made
by these men. It makes no difference
whether the land Is good or bad.
There are plenty of other facts, upon
which they can and ought to be convicted."
