Accordipg to the appellates division, they shotld not have been prosecuted at all on the charge of forgery, and it appears to be a case of grave doubt if any offense warranting crim@al | prosecution was committed.

PEARL HARBOR, HAWAII, THE AMERICAN GIBRALTAR Chief Constructor Capps Going Abroad on Special Temporary Duty, ‘Washington, Nov. 18.—Chief Con- structor Capps is going to the Philip- pines on a mission of great importance to the navy under an order detaching him from duty as the senior member of the board on hull changes in ves- sels building on the Atlantic coast, and directing him to proceed abroad on special temporary duty. The chief constructor is to make a careful ex- amination of the navy yard at Cavite in Manila harbor and the naval sta- tion at Olongapo on Subig bay. Part of the general scheme of the navy department is to create an Am- erican Gibraltar at Pearl Harbor, Ha- Vi which involves abandonment of idea of establishing a powerful the naval bage in the Philipplnes and also involves converting the station at Olongapo into a mere repair depot. There is not water enough at Cavite to enable heavy warships to approach the navy vard there and it is doubtful if Olongapo could be rendered im- pregnable. Still, in view of the necessity of re- pairs to the American fleet which must be maintained in the orient, some suitable plant must be main- tained at a point nearer Asia than Hawaii, hence the need for placing the 1l station at Olongapo in condi- n. The report of Constructor Capps will enable the nayy department to fix the amount of the estimate of ap- propriation which must be submitted to congress at the approaching ses- sion. When his work in the Phillpines is concluded the chief constructor will re- turn to the United States by way of Europe, taking advantage of the op- portunity to make a_thorough study of recent developments in naval con- structlon in the great mavy yards of the European maritime powers. In- cidentally, he is also to look into the naval development of the aeroplane for naval use. VOODOO CHARMS PRESCRIBED Col. Roosevelt In Washington FOR THE FIRST TIME SINCE HIS OFFICIAL DEPARTURE.
