WASHINGTON. July . Detail, of the
vast movement of the Atlantic fleet to
Pacific water ihave been theoretically
' Worked out tretki in advance by the naval
I B-anarBl hoarA. Tlut tmu rintatla are neces
sarily subject to constant change resulting
from the withdrawal of battleships from
active commission on account of having;
been declared antiquated or id need of
repairs and the substitution of other ships
Just coins; Into commission and fresh from
the builders' hands.
I fitters Is in the Navy department today
fjearccly any one authorised to afford any
formation as to the contemplated fleet
movement. Secretary Metcalt is In Call-
fornla. Assistant Secretary Newberry Is at
I Watch Hill, R. Li Admiral Brownson, chief
of the navigation bureau, who is next in
Una, has cone to New York, and the act
ins; secretary of the navy today is Rear
Admiral Mason, chief of the bureau of
ordinance.
The opinion of the officers on duty today
Is that the route most feasible for the big
ships Is by way of the straits of Magellan.
The route across the Atlantic and through,
the Mediterranean and Sues canal la open
to the objection that it would bring the
big ships almost In Japanese waters and
the movement might consequently be re
garded as a menace, which Secretary Mt
calf has stated has never been contem
plated. The Sues route, too, is longer by
thousand miles than the Magellan route.
This, aooordlng to the best calculations and
allowing for short visits to ports not on
the nearest sailing routs Is about 11,000
miles In length.
Trip sf (ha Ortsea.
The battleship Oregon covered the dis
tance from San Franotsco to Jupiter inlet,
Fla. In 1898 in slxtv-three days. But
' she was handicapped by the company of
the llttta gunboat Marietta, which was
I' scarcely able to make mora than eight
knots an hour, and also by the fact that
as a precautionary ' measure the Oregon
(was sent around the West Indies, sen-
Mly lengthening her route. Bo the opinion

reasonable time for coaling enroute, the
Atlantlo fleet can make the passage front
Now York to Ban Francisco In less than
sixty days
It Is conceded that Rear Admiral Bvana
will have the honor of commanding the
fleet. It is believed new that the route
will be about as follows: leaving New
York or Hampton Roads In the early
fall the battleships would probably steam
straight to Culebra, whsre coal would be
taken on. The next stop will be Rto
Janeiro and from that Dolnt the vessels
I would not halt until they reached Bandy
t Point In the straits of Magellan. Here
again the coal supply would be replenished
for the run to Callao. Peru. The next
stage would be from Callao to Panama
and from that point the ships would pro
ceed without a stop to Ban Francisco.
'. It is believed that after reaching Peru
vian waters the movements of the vessels
win be much mora deliberate than up to
that point.
Although the reason for this statement
Is not officially obtainable. It is apparent
that the explanation Is to be found in the
fact that the battleship will be within
easy reach of Ban Francisco; In other
words, they could In sn emergency ar
rive at that port before another fleet
I could. . '
Qarettoa at Ooallaa; Fleet.
Naturally the question of coaling the
flout la a very serious one Two methods
of doln this has been provided for In
I the plana of the general board. The first
Is to snd with the battleships a suf
i flclent number of colliers to enable them
' to replenish their ooal supplies. In this
' caso a fleet of no less than twenty colliers
i will be necessary because something like
'7.00S tons of coal will be burned on this
course. "
In the second case the plana provide for
free use of merchantable coal along
the route, which of course would diminish
the need of colliers.
Under the latter plan It is probable that
tha five ooUlera already attached to the
Atlantic fleet will be sent forward to Bandy
Point. Coal at that point Is scaroe and
extremal bad.
Amirs Evans will. It is expected, start
-with sixteen battleships besides tli col
liers. Ths armored cruisers Washington
said Tennessee which are now in French
waters are under orders to return, rent and
proceed to the Pactflo coast to form part
of an armored cruiser squadron to be as
sembled there. It Is possible that (hey will
be detained and accompany the battleships
oa the cruise. When Admiral Evans ar
rives off the coast his fleet wiU be In
creased by the addition ef the battleship
Nebraska, newly commissioned and simply
waiting ths rounding out of her skeleton
crew. Ths battleships Wisconsin and Ore
goa, now at Bremerton 'navy yard, Puget
sound, will probably have completed their
extensive repairs by next - March so that
they too may be added to the fleet which
will then comprise nineteen battleships.

"children's opening" of the play ground at
Nlnteteenth and Harney streets. The open

not keep the "kids" away from the fun
very long. Before the speechmaklng
Judge Kennedy and E. F. Dennlson of ths
Young Men's Chrlatisn association amused
the Juvenile populace by sliding down the
sliding board.
The early part of the venlng was spent
by the youngoters trying out the sppar

the speakers' platform and Mayor John
Ver Mehren called them to order. He
first Introduced Mr. Dennlson, who spoke
brlflly, urging the children to be lows! to
their playground. Mr. Dennlson alo Is
sued a challenge to the Juvenile clt'Strsck
team to meet the Young Men's C stlan
association Junior track team In a moot
some time later In the summer. This chal
lenge was sccepted by Director Frnser.
Judgs Kennedy of the Juvenile court
congratulated the children on having some
good friends who provided for them 'so
well and suggested that when a permanent
playground Is established It should be
named Frank Heller park ih honor of the
man who started the playground movement
In Omaha.
Thomas H. Matters urged the children
to make the most of their opportunities
and to obey the rules and laws of Juvenils
city so they would grow up to be good
cltlsens. Miss True, director for the girls,
told a story of the ginger breed boy and
Director Fraaer closed the program with a
brief talk. The Wlnshlp children and Miss
Katie Hack sang some songs and were en
cored.' After the program the youngsters
were turned loose again.
The grounds are .not fully equipped yet.
All of last year's apparatus Is Installed and

turning poles and other apparatus. The
boys' department contains most of these
things and a giant stride and gymnastic

NEW YORK, July 8. A dragnet has been

carried with three stock brokerage houses
have been unearthed. He had sustained
heavy losses In these ventures and at least
two weeks before ho fled had stolen JSW.OuO
to make good his margined accounts. It is
believed ths 110,000 wss stolen at various
times and the thefts may have extended
over a period of several months. On July,
I the periodic checking up of the trust
company's cash on hand would have re

R'inyan was very careful In his dealings
as Martin Chase. He even disguised his
writing so that it bore no resemblance ' to
his' own. As Martin Chase he wrote heav

DEPARTMENT ORDERS INQUIRY
District Attorney -for Arlsona Asked
to Look Into Kidnaping of
Baravla,
WASHINGTON, July S. The Department
of Justice today directed the United States
district attorney for Arlsona to make an
investigation Into the alleged kidnaping
from Douglas, Aria, into Mexico of Manuel
Saravla, an alleged Mexican agitator, re
ported to have been connected with a Mex
ican newspaper published In St. Louis In
the Interest of the revolutionary party.
The Inquiry Is undertaken at the Instance
of friends of Ssravla, but so far nothing
has been heard from the territorial authori
ties. It Is expected that the reported ar
rest of the Mexican consul at Douglas on
the charge of being implicated In the kid
naping may be mado a matter of com
plaint, but It Is said his consular office ex
empts him from liability for criminal action
on bis part.. If . the facts.. are as alleged,
it may become necessary, for, this govern
ment to request the Mexican authorities, to
return the kidnaped man' to Arlsona,
