MAYNARD NOTES.
Admiral Brown Does Not Expect Moro
Work Soon.

me vltgfnian representative paid q
visit to the navy-yard yesterday and
gathered the following facts. There are
now on the roll 762 men. OF this num-
Der $50 are employed In the construc-
ton department and the Indications
are that there will be no further reduce
ton this month
In conversation with the Admiral the
representative asked him why such a
sweeping reduction was made in the
1orce so early In the month and SO un-
eXpectedly.
His reply was: well, we asked for
S3o.ooo for construction for April and
hoped and fully expected to get the
same. but after working for five days
at an expense Of $1,000 a day tele-
gram was received stating that we
would only be allowed $4,000, and as
$4,000 had already been consumed, there
was nothing TO do but to reduce and
that in large numbers.
well. Admiral. what Is the outlook
Tor the balance OF the fiscal year?"
1T Is very poor. I have already been
informed that the appropriation for May
VIII be much less than $4,000, and that
Of June much less than May, so YOU can
see there is no hope for better times in
the yard before July. Any way work on
the Newark will not be commenced be-
fore July. because there is no money for
that purpose"
Admiral, what are you working on 2"
well. we are doing q little work on
the Maine. some on the Vesuvius and
the Fortune. We are also working
slowly on the new tug, but none Of these
except the Maine are urgent
What do you think our chances for
work under Mr.. Roosevelt, as Assistant
Secretary OF the Navy, are? DO you
think he will discriminate in favor Of
New York like Mr.. McAdoo did?"
wei, you know the Assistant Sec
rotary OF the Navy controls all the work.
He says where it should go. I think
Mi. Roosevelt is an honest, upright gen.
tleman and that he will do right by all
yards. He has no political aspirations
and does not want office.
IF you can convince him that 1t Is
right for work to go to any special
yard he will see that 1t goes there. He
is q most excellent gentleman and is
we'll suited for the position. He is the
Secretary's choice and 7 think will be
most excellent man. But, as I said
before, there is no work or money fol.

Admiral. what about work should a
deficiency bill be passed."
His reply was there will be no def
cheney bill passed. We have already had
half million more than was first ap-
propria ted.

expected. She will positively sail on
