NAVY WORKERS
ARE DEPRIVED
OF PENSIONS
VALLEJO, Cal., Aug. 10 (by Asso
ciated Press).—Because of the inser
tion of the word “classified” in the
<^Til service retirement bill, enacted
in the closing days of the last session
of congress, more than 1,000 employes
of the Mare island navy yard here who
have put in over 30 years’ service for
the government will be unable to get
any pension, it is believed. Many of
these men wrho are hardly able to get
around and who have been given the
lightest kind of work in order to allow
them to hold on till such time as the
retirement measure would be enacted.
The first intimation that this dis
d^^inction had been made was when
^^R>pies of the bill were received here,
specifying 70 years as the retirement
age for clerks, draftsmen, etc., and
75 years for mechanics and helpers.
There is only one way in which the
matter can be rectified, it is said, and
that is by an executive order, issued
upon recommendation of the civil ser
vice commission.

LARGEST DOCK
WHOLE WORLD
WASHINGTON, Aug. 10 (by Asso
ciated Press).—The largest drydock
on the Mediterranean is planned at
Naples. Recent decrees of the Italian
government authorizing the construc
tion of this dock and a smaller one
at the industrial port of Bala Averno
provide that work must begin within
six months of the official date of the
declaration of peace.
Besides the drydocks it is planned
to transform Lake Averno for the" use
of shipyards, and to build a canaLeon
necting the lake with the pore of
Naples proper.
The Italian government will within
a period of 50 years pay about half
of the cost of the work and at the end
of 60 years the entire property auto
matically becomes government prop
erty.

CURTAIN CALL
NEW LONDON, Conn., Aug. 10 (by
Associated Press). — James O’Neill,
the famous actor, died here last night.
For more than fifteen years and in
more than 6,000 performances, James
O’Neill played the part of Edmund
Dantes in “The Count of Monte
Christo,” until his name became so as
sociated with that play that in the
minds of drama lovers that to men
tion one was to suggest the other. It
was his great part, the character in
which he achieved his greatest suc
cess and, despite his efforts to discard
it for others, he was often compelled
to return to it in gratification of public
demand or at the request of theatrical
managers.
Mr. O’Neil made his first appearance
in that play at Booth’s theater in New
York, in 1883, under the management
of John Stetson, when Charles P.
Thorne, who played the part of Dantes,
died. Mr. O’Neil took the part and
thereafter played it continuously for
years.
An unusual incident in Mr. O’Neil s
career was his attempt to impersonate
Christ in a Passion play produced in
1880 at San Francisco, where O’Neil
was then a popular player.’ The effort
was frowned upon by the authorities
despite the fervor and reverence with
•which Mr. O’Neil essayed the part
and, after running for a few weeks, it
had to be withdrawn. Later an at
tempt was made by Henry E. Abbey
to produce the Passion play in New
York with Mr. O’Neil in the leading
role but it was prevented by the au
thorities.
Mr. O’Neil was brought to this
country when a small child from the
home of his parents' in Kilkenny, Ire
land, where he was born November
15, 1849. His first appearance on the
stage was in the National theater at
Cincinnati in 1868. Subsequently he
apepared at the St. Louis Varieties,
played for a season in Cincinnati, was
j leading juvenile in a Baltimore com
pany; played in a Chicago stock com
pany for two years; and appeared
j with Adelaide Neilson and Edwin
| Booth in classic plays.
He went .to New York in 1875 and
j played “Pierre” in “The Two Or
phans,” the prince in “The Dani
choffs,” and as Jean Renaud in “A
I Celebrated Case.” Beginning in 1898
he achieved an enviable reputation as
D’Artagnan in “The Musketeers.” He
attempted many years ago to retire
from the stage but often was recalled
to appear in romantic drama, in which
he was at his best.

BIG GUNS CAN
BE FIRED ONLY
FROM BLOCKS
WASHINGTON, Aug. 10 (by Asso
ciated Press).—Popular conception of
the railway mount for the heavy cal
iber artillery—such as the 14-iuch
naval guns used by the Americans in
France—is that these big guns can
be fired as they move along the tracks.
Major General W. F. Coe of the coast
artillery explains that this is erron
eous.
“Essentially, a concrete block is
necessary,” he says. “Over it the gun
is run on its trucks and then placed
upon the block. We actually take the
trucks out from under the gun wrhen it
is fired and it stands on a carriage
with an arc of fire of 360 degrees.
The guns can be taken from one posi
tion to a similarly prepared position.
The real thing is you can send the
guns to strategic points.”
For the defense of the country from
a naval attack, General Coe declares it
is well known wrhere the blocks -will
be needed and that preparations can
be made long ahead of time as a part
of the regular fortification program.
LOOK FOR CANADIAN
SETTLERS IN EUROPE
OTTAWA, Aug. 10 (by Associated
Press).—J. A. Calder, minister of im
migration and colonization, soon will
go to Europe to reorganize Canadian
immigration agencies there, it is an
nounced here.
Except for inspection of British war
veterans for land settlement and the
bringing in of domestics, little has I
been done to procure new settlers j
from Europe since the war began. Im- i
migrants now must have $250 or pro
duce proof that they are going to work
before being admitted. Under the re
organization plan especial effort will
be made to obtain farm and domestic
help, it was said.

REX BEACH FEATUTE
LAST TIME TONIGHT
EMPRESS THEATER
“Heart of the Sunset,” which is re
peated for the last time tonight, evi
dences all the skill and care that
always marks a Rex Beach produc
tion. It is packed with thrilling
action and incident. A real story of
real people, historically accurate, and
pulsing with the color, life and ro
mance of the borderland. Each type
is perfect, from the Texas Ranger and
the beautiful ranch mistress to the
strutting Mexican “General.”
Tomorrow night a powerful drama
of Russian intrigue entitled “The
Paws of the Bear,” played by Wil
liam Desmond. It is an absorbing
story of romance and mystery. From
the moment in which <the veiled lady
appears in a Russian village until the
last scene when important dispatches
are safely en route to Washington,
the picture is one of excitement,
thrills and suspense. It is splendidly
staged and will afford excellent en
tertainment for all w'ho enjoy adven
ture, intrigue and mystery.
