NAVAL CAPTAINS

Testify in Warm Terms as to Sis
Coolness and Bravery
By Associated Press.
Washington D.' C. Oct. 16. The
Schley court of Inquiry bogan pro-
ceedings today as usual with the cor-
rection of testimony given on the pre-
vious day witnesses summo.ied for
this being Captain Cook and Lieut.
Commander Sears. Then Commander
Mason executive officer on the Brook-
Jyn during tho war with Spain waB
called to relate his observations of
the conduct of the Santiago campaign.
It Is tho purpose of Mr. Rnyner to
first examine officers cf the Brooklyn
and to follow these with a number of
those who wero on tho Oregon dur
Ing tho battle off Santiago. It Is un -
derstood that his entlro Hat of wit-
neaaea la practically confined to per-
sons who wero on board these two
vessels.
Sampson's Signals.
ta connection .with today's proceed-
Inge. Mr. Rayner presented a number
of questions to the court which he
said he desired to aak one of Schley'o
witnesses concerning certain signals
which wore sent from Sampson's flag-
ship tho New York on tho morning
of July 3 before that vessel left for
SIboney for (the purpose of allowing
tho commander-in-chief of the navil
foice3 to consult with Shatter. Theso
Blgnals Mr. Rayner contends had tho
ttffect of placing tho entlro fleet under
the command of Commodore Schley
and on this account ho urges their
relevancy.
On being recalled Hanna asked Cap-
tain Cook regarding his Btatcmcnt as
to the Btenm required to bo kept up In
connection with the uncoupling of. tho
Brooklyn's engines; If It was tho order
of the commander-in-chief whllo lying
off Santiago on blockade. Hanna
asked If It was a written order.
"My recollection Is that it was a
bulletin. Tho exact words I do not
reoember'' Cook replied.
"Tho particular point wa3 with
respect to the uncoupling of engines.
"Was there anything In that order on
this subject and In pursuance of
which that was dono?"
"It Js my lmpresslou thnt there was.
They all as I understand it had tholr
engines uncoupled."
Voyage of Flying Squadron.
Cook was questioned again concern-
ing tho voyage of the flying squadron
"Did tho flying squadron when pro-
ceeding from Cienfuegoa to Santiago
proceed vIth all dispatch?" asked
Hanna
"Throwing out of consideration tho
surrounding cirpumatances and con-
nections that have already bcon testi-
fied to I should say no."
Rayner: "But putting In the sur-
rounding circumstances and condi-
tions you would nay yes' would you
not?" '
"Yes" replied Cook.
Continuing Cook said as he under-
stood the question they could have
gone from Cienfuegos to Santiago and
arlved there the next day after leav-
ing Cienfuegos with some It not all
of the larger vessels. Tho conditions
mentioned he said wero principally
the matter of coaling. Thoy had ho
said turned back to coal the Texas.
Had this not havo occured "they would
havo made dispatch." Cook however
said in reply to a question that the
Texas had enough coal to get to San-
tiago. Ho said further delay was
r yaed by -tho Eaglo not being ablo
t make speed on account of tho
J Bea and that the Vixen hau
cod a minor accident.

vention finally Baw it that way.
Tho Oklahoma A. H. T. A. made far
greater gains in tho numbor of lodges

six new lodges were added tho past
year and there aro now 271 lodges In
Oklahoma. When the Indian ten-testa

diction work will be begun organiz-
ing lodges there and tho effectiveness

STRIKINd HARD
AT MAYOR BALL
Alderman Liilie Caustically
Reviews the Mayor's
Position
Tho city hall matter has reached
the newspaper controversial stago. In
this morning's Stnto Capital Aldorman
LIUlo In a two-column nrtlclo pre-
sent tho aido of tho majority of tho
city council In tho adoption of tho
Fouuact plans. Tho actions of the
majority lending up to tho adoption ot
the Foucnrt plana and contract aro
carefully and thoroughly rovlowod nnd
In roforonoe to tho rejection of tho
Uonnott plnns Mr. Lllllo states:
"My only aim In tho matter was to
secure for tho city tho most perma-
nent substantial structure and aftor
careful study I came to tho' conclusion-that
Mr. Bonnctt's plans provid-
ing for a wood truss roof with a Bpan
of Blxty feet wa? not sultublo for a
building of this character nnd that tho
walls of tho convention hall cut un
as his plans showed with thirty-two
.windows nround tho hall and no col
umns for Biipport of the walls wore
not sufficiently strong to support i
wood' truss roof of this size. This
together with Mr. Bennett's rofusal to
furnish the estimates for his build-
ing also with tho further fact that
Mr. Bonnqtt's work in superintending
tho construction ot buildings in tho
city under plans and specifications
provided by him had not boon on-
tlroly satisfactory caused mo to de
cide In favor of tho Foucart plans.
Aa a matter of fact Mr. Foucart
waa the only architect who compiled
with tho 6rdcr of the council and fur-
nUhed all that was required of thorn
Including a bond for tho construction
of the building within tho amouut at
.the city's disposal."
A considerable portion of tho letter
Is devoted to anaworlng tho allegations
made- by Mayor Ball In his communi-
cation to tho council Inst Monday
ovenlng giving hlu reasons for refus-
ing to sign tho Foucurt coatrnct. In
this connection Aldorman Lillle says:
"At an adjourned mooting of the
council Monday night Oct 14th tho
mayor returned tho contract jvlth Mr.
Foucart without his approval and In
his mossago occur so many abortlvo
BtatoraontB and charges that It 1b
necessary to give thorn somo atten-
tion hore.
"I regard to the Iron structural work
In tho building. Mayor Ball's opinion
may be worth moro than that of tho
oldost manufacturers In Iron work
who stand ready to oroct and guaran-
tee Its safety. As to tho 13-Inch wall
tho plans and spoclficntlona show a
17-lnch wall and thorc la no provision
for making it losa. So far as tho out-
ward appoarnnco of tho building !
concerned wo havo seen a picture of
Mr. Bennett's building only. I bellevo
tho Foucart plana will make just as
nanasome a ouildlng as tut Bonnott
plans nnd If necossary ho could pre-
pare jusf aB grotty a picture.
"Ab to tho plana bolng Incomplete
I only aak any Interested poraou to
call at Mr. Foucart'B office and inspect
thorn and aee for themaolvos as to
whothor chimneys and smokeatacka
aro provldod and also see tho provis-
ion for plumbing which aro ample
and will coat from $200 to ?SO0. Tho
Bpoclfloatlons nro published In this
issue of tho Sta'e Capital and can be
read by all who are interested.
"So far as the estimate Is concern-
ed It la the only one furnhhed to the
city counoll and aB a reault Mayor
Ball and the council could make no
comparison and If It Is high the open
competition among contractors will
give to the city the benefit of prices
secured by auch competition.
"Tho mayor says: 'I further moro
bellevo thnt some of you have not act-
ed from a conscientious and sincere
standpoint I believe some of your
judgments have been tampered with
I further behove If your own good
judgment had not been Interforrad
with you would not have adopted
these plan: and asked this contract
to bo signed.'
"Why should the raayo.r bejleve that
tho majority haye no aoltfd from a
conscientious Btandpalnt?
