PLANTS AT MINOR
NAVAL STATIONS
Commodore Hichborn Reports on the
Needs of the Construction
Bureau.

WASHINGTON, Oct. pa large part
of the burden of equipping the United
States navy for the war with Spain fell
upon the Construction Bureau of the
navy, and in his annual report Commo-
dore Hichborn, the chief constructor, fur
nishes many interesting details as to the
extent Of this work, involving the trans
formation of more than 100 merchant
craft into auxiliary naval vessels at short
notice Looking to the future, the chief
constructor Joints to the Importance of
properly equipping and maintaining plants
at minor naval stations along the coast
already established, and he submits es-
Inmates for the purpose, averaging about
s25 600 in each case. He says that had the
consequences of the recent naval engage
ments in the West Indies been nearly as
serious as there was reason to expect
they might be the Southern stations
would have been necessary for repairs to
ships too badly injured to be sent to
Northern yards. To keep the nucleus of
the force of men at these stations, small
work should be constantly under way and
proper storehouses should be erected to
keep SUFFICIENT quantities of material on
hand. 1t is suggested that while the new
dock at Algiers, La, is building suit
able repair plant and storehouses should
he erected.

Suisun Infant Suffers for Months
BEFORE Relieved

SUISUN, Oct 2S-About six months ago
the infant child of Mr. and Mrs. William
S. Morrill,, well-known residents of Suisun
Valley, swallowed a small-sized safety pin
and for days the life of the little one was
despaired of. All efforts to alleviate her
was taken to San Francisco and subjected
to an X-ray examination, which failed to
locate the safety pin, and the parents
story was regarded as a rather uncredi-
BILE one. At Intervals since that time the
child has nearly succumbed to convul-

the little sufferer aroused the parents and
the cause of the pain was located. Medi-
cal aid was summoned and the dangerous
pin was removed with the aid OF instru-
ments. The child is now doing well.
