proposed report to congress, and ap-
proves their recommendations fos
closing certsin yards and concentra.
tIon of organization and reduction Of
expenses in the remainder. They
take effect about July 10. The rec
concentrations include reorganization
and concentration of the mechanical
department of every navy yard 60 that
there shall be one shop In each for
the performance of the same
class of work. The commits.
sion consider 1t of absolute
Importance that Mare Island

tlon, as 1t is the only Workshop of the
government on the west coast. 1t is
proposed to abolish eight formanships,
as follows: Foreman of iron platers,
quarterman iron platter, master plum.
Der, superintendent of dry dock, fore.
man of blacksmiths, superintendent of
machinery, quarterman m~achinis', fore.
man of joiners, and the formanships of
coppersmiths and plumbers are to be
merged into one. The removals will
reduce the daily pay from $179 to
$l36. 1t Is recommended that Pensa.
cola yard be closed, Norfolk yard be
retained In frat class condition,
and that Washington yard be
designated as the naval arsenal
Lsague bland be closed al yard or no,

approved by the court, 1t Ia likely the

prayers Of the defense will strike at
the vitality of the Indictment. Not
much hope Is entertained on thai aide
of 3 favorable reception OF their
prayers, many of which are formulated
for the purpose of securing exceptions
for used lii case of appeal, should the
court reject them. The defence will
probably maintain that the statute
of Limitations has ran against the case,
but already Judge Wylie has practi-
cally decided that point so far az his
court is concerned. Judge Wylie
seems disposed to nse all his power to
secure u verdict of some kind; In other
words, to prevent disagreement.
A curious feature Is the position
occupied by Rerdell. He has con
fesued himself guilty, yot should the
