His counsel often had been sought by high government of- | ficials in international matters. Beginning in September, i881, when | he entered the naval academy, until he relinquished *:is post as senior naval | officer and chairman of the Navy | General Board, Admiral Eberle’s 47 years of service was a review of the evolution of the navy from the days | of sailing vessels to the fast aircraft | carriers of today. | As illustrious as was his career. his | accomplishmenis as an organizer of | fleets, his knowledge of naval tactics | and of international affairs and his work as superintendent of the naval | academy during the World war, are | rhe original glass-blowing shed in Parsippany, N. J., little better known than the innova- tion he created and developed Rear Admiral Eberle wrote the| navy's first work on modern gun and torpedo drills, which formed the basis for the present gunnery. He was an authority on torpedos and mines and their usage. Besides assisting in the installation of the first wireless tele- graph on naval ships, he compiled the first instructions and codes for the first naval radio communication sys- tem, and later Geveloped it to include aircraft. i Eorn in Texas Admiral Eberle was torn at Den- ton, Texas, August 17. 1864, the son of Joseph and Mary Eberle. He was appointed to th> naval academy from Fort Smith, Ark., in 1881, and was graduated four years later. As a young naval officer he learned sail- ing craft seamanship while charting strange waters in the Bering Sea and the Strait of Magellan, and! helped to develop the Tanner sound- ing device. In 1889, Admiral Eberle married Miss Tazie Harrison, of San ident Benjamin Harrison. They had ne son, Edward R. Eberle, who, like his father. became a naval officer. When the battleship Oregon made her historic run from the Pacific coast around Cape Horn in 1898 to meet the Spanish fleet at Santiago, Cuba, Eberle was in command of the forward turret. Shots from the Spanish warship Colon and drove her ashore. The admiral saw service in the Philippine insurrection as chief of the Asiatic fleet, after which he served as aide at th> naval academy, side to the commander of the New! York navy yard, and as flag officer of the Atlantic fleet. He became an instructor at the naval war college. recorder of the naval board of inspec- tion and survey and later executive officer of the battleship Louisiana when the fleet made the world trip on President Roosevelt's administra- tion. Circles Globe When ho:cing the rank of com- mander he was made commandant of the naval training school station at San Francisco in 1508. It was in 1910, before he commanded the gunboat Wheeling on another globe-circling trip, that he was accidentally struck by a tiller while in a small boat. The shaft of his eyeglasses was driven into | his right ear and the skin on his head. The wound never healed. Admiral Eberle was sclected by President Wilson in 1915 to super- intend the naval academy. When the United States entered the World war he speeded up the work of the upper classmen in order to supply the much-needed naval offizers and in-| creased the academy's capacity. For | his work he was awarded the Dis- tinguished Service Medal. Later he commanded battleship divisions 5 and 7 of the Atlantic fleet, and in 1921 commande the Pacific | fleet until he reorganized it into the | great battle fleet. He became chief of naval operations in 1923. | A small, grey bearded man, Admiral | Eberle was noted for his firmness, yet was beloved by officers and en- listed men alike for his kindness, and ‘Was respected for his calm judgment and wise decisions. His strict sense of duty and his love of his country and the navy constituted a great force for morale throughout the fleet, where his name was regarded as a| symbol of loyalty. He numbered} among his friends the heads of sev- eral foreign governments. | Charles Moses Passes (U.S. Navy Examination y Word that Charles W.

Chute describes the hardships of road-building in barren parts of | Canada in his article. McLean, aj son of the late Mrs. Mary McLean, was raised in Bismarck Commenting on the railroad work in Canadian wilds, Chute sa “Much of the work done against the terrific obstacles of a northern winter. Old-timers are fond of telling how Van Horne used to say, ‘Blow the top off that moun- tain!’ We can match that demiurgic stuff today with a living example like that of Harry McLean, who laid his mile and a half of track each day over the frozen muskeg at 40! below. “McLean, builder of the Flin Flon line and one of the authentic pro-| ducts of the new north, is out not} to follow precedents but to make’ them. When he was cautioned that it would be impossible to buck the cold with his construction gangs he replied, ‘There are no “ifs” about this proposition, We start to lay track tomorrow.’ They started Jan. 3, with the mercury so far be- low zero it was out of sight. ‘Harry McLean will drive her ‘till hell freezes,’ said a walking boss, and from my own observation he sure did drive her. On March 20 I went out in a train to Cranberry Portage, over a railway line where on New Year's Day there had been nothing ut a frozen wilderness!” Shortly before concluding _ his article, Chute says, “They used to say that Jim Hill lived in a realm more fabulous than the Arabian Nights. Talking with some of his | successors in the north, like Harry | McLean, one is inclined to believe | that railroading and romantic vision! are even yet akin.” | The McLeans were one of the| prominent pioneer families in Bis- marck, Management of Crowds Is Declared Efficient Declaration that management of the crowds here July 4 was efficient- ly and satisfactorily carried out by ismarck city police was made yes- terday by Harry P. Goddard, secre- tary of the Association of Commerce. The crowd visiting Bismarck over the holiday was orderly and caused little trouble, Chris J. Martineson, | Police chief, said this morning.

Dakota Engi- neering and Power Firm (Tribune Special Service) Dickinson, N. D., July 6.—Recom- mendation that if the City of Dickin- son decides to establish a municipal lighting plant, as has been suggested at various times, the electrical en- ergy be purchased from the Lehigh Briquetting company, a short distance {scuth of this city, has been made by the Dakota Engineering & Power company of Valley City. Restrictions are that the cost of exceed two cents per kilowatt hour, that the authorities believe the com- pany is a permanent organization, and that they will install sufficient equipment to handle the load of the city. May Build Plant If such a contract cannot be com- pleted satisfactorily, the alternatives are to build and operate a Diesel equipped plant, which uses oil burn- ing engines, providing no steam heat load is contemplated, or to construct and operate a plant producing eclec- tricity by steam, in case of the latter. The report of the engineers is the culmination of several months wurk and is the result of a resolution passed early in April by the city com- mission authorizing appointment of electrical experts to investigate the feasibility of establishing 2 municip- ally owned and operated p>-ver plant here. It was claimed thet the qual- ity of the electricity could be im- proved at the same time the price was lowered, if such @ plant was Mandan this morning by Henry Handtmann, Morton county sheriff.

Load Estimate Made An estimated load of 1,800,000 kilo- watt hours was set up the engineers as the quantity tle plant should be able to handle. Figures from Valley City and Williston and data regarding Dickinson filed with the state railroad commission this year prior to being served by the high line were used in reaching this amount. ‘The rate per kilowatt hour, to con- sumers, regardless of which type of Production is used, is set at 412 cents, yielding an estimated annual gross revenue of $81,000. Using current by @ high line from the Lehigh Briquet- ting plant requires the least expendi- ture of money, yields the greatest re- turn on investment. and costs less to the city per kilowatt hour, it is said.

Great Whale is about 250 miles north of Ruppert House, where the plane spent Thurs- day night. Lack of further messages was taken to mean the plane was grounded as its radio only operates when the plane is*in the air. Advices from Port Burwell, which is on the projected course of the plane, said fog, rain and low visibility pre- vailed. The plane, owned by the Chicago Tribune, carries a crew consisting of Robert Gast. Parker D.
