The addition Of bur six now ships

our honored navy. II Is safe 10 say that
the Secretary's recommendation OF If
teen ships was II anything too modest.
1t was surely not extravagan,. With
the history of The war Win Spain fresh
in memory the chopping down of the
navy plans appeas ineXplcable. Ev-
erybody knows now our governments

able ship yards abroad where warships
were in process Of construction 90 pro-
vide all the fighting craft the navy ex-
pected 10 need. There Is no immediate
danger of another war but. also, war
ships cannot be turned out in a day.
They require years to build and to put
in operation. Senator Hale, of Maine,
is chairman OF the Senate naval COM
mittee and Congressman Boutelle. of
Maine, of the committee Of the lower

provision records another instance
where some OF the men from Maine
appear to be unable TO grasp the sit

American manufacturers seem likely
TO make their greatest record i'm the
fiscal year which ends four months
hence. The reports OF the Treasury
Bureau of Statistics covering seven
months of the fiscal year show that
the expectation of domestic manufac-
lures Is twenty-three million dollars
greater than the highest record ever
before made in the corresponding
months OF the fiscal year. During the
seven months ending February /, 1929,
the exports OF domestic manufactures
amounted TO $1S2. .S36 sos, or an average
OF a million dollars day for every
business day Of that period. Not only
are the manufacturers increasing their
sales in foreign markets. but they are
evidently supplying To a greater ex-
tent than ever before the home market.
The imports OF manufactures i'm the
seven months under consideration am
cunt TO only s147 200 972, or thirty-fve
million dollars less than the manufac-
lures exported. The exports OF manu-
features during the past seven months
have been nearly twenty-five per cent.
greater than the imports of manufac-
lures.

Assuming that he sent the bottle Of
poison that killed Mrs. Adams, can
Roland i. Molineux be CONVICTED of
murder in the first degree when II is clear
that he had no intent or expectation
of killing Mrs. Adams, but designed the
death of Cornish? The News has been
asked that question by a curious reader
and IL is evidently already a subject
for discussion on the curbstone, and.
perhaps, i'm legal circles. 1t certainly
seems to be an interesting question. I'm
questionably Molineux meant no harm
10 the unfortunate Mrs. Adams. So far
as his design went she was the victim
OF an accident. But we are informed
that there Is eminent legal authority
for the opinion that il makes no differ
ence i'm the eyes OF the law that Mrs.
Adams. a person unknown TO the muir
derer, was the innocent victim of his
act and intent. Her death is murder
just as much as would have been the
case had Cornish, the object of the
murderer's purpose, died from the
poison.

THE DAYS OPERATIONS IN STOCKS

The violent decline in stocks that occurred n
xrssk ago has not been followed by a sagging or
particularly feverish market. In fact prices
have about recovered the losses sustained last
pr,day while sentiment in some quarters ap-
,,renty is more bullish than II ever was. But
dsspIte this reassuring situation It should be
home IN mind that the bears are still counting
unon a further setback in values before I'M
interrupted advance sets in. 1t remains to- be
seen whether or not the bear element will be
successful In yesterdays market there was
much irregularity. and little strength outside
of a few leading speculative issues while in the
late dealings decided weakness developed
throughout the list The Samoan massacre was
not an influence in the market. but crop re-
ports were and IN the railroad list. especially
in the granger shares. the bears were active in
depressing values. 1t is likely that bears in the
stock market and the bulls In the wheat market
will devote all their time in the next few weeks
TO crop conditions. but as yet there is nothing
IN the situation 70 warrant any uneasiness over
agricultural prospects.
Business was poorly distributed in yesterday s
market the leading speculative favorites again
monopolizing the bulk of the dealings. OF the
total sales the greater number were supplied by
Brooklyn Rapid Transit, Manhattan, Federal
Steel Continental Tobacco. Peoples Gas. Mis-
souri, Pacific and Northern Pacific. Elsewhere
.he only noteworthy activity was in Sugar Re-
fning. Atchison preferred. Burlington. st. Paul,
Tennessee Coal, Norfolk and Western preferred
and Metropolitan Street Railway. The local
traction issues were the features. Manhattan
made a maximum advance Of nine points,
Brooklyn Rapid Transit FIVE points, and Metro
poiitan over eight points. There were no devel-
opments TO account for the activity in these is-
sues their rapid upward movement and the ad-
vance In some of the industrals apparently be-
ing due to the same kind OF reckless speculation
that ended in the severe break last Friday.
While the stocks named were advancing. the
general railroad list was heavy. with quiet liqui-
dation going on At the close selling movement
was IN progress throughout the result OF whicn
was net declines in the greater number OF issues
The best feature of the days business was noted
in the bond development. where TRANSACTIONS
were heavy In good investment and speculative
buying that covered a large number or issues
The money market continued comparatively
easy and sterling exchange was again higher.

LOOK AFTER SURPLUS WATERS.
Inspector to Be Sent to the Uintah
Reservation.
Especial to The Herald }


Washington, June 24.-The Indian
Office will soon send Irrigation Inspec-
tor Graves again to the Uintah reser-
walton, and he will cooperate with the
geological survey experts, whom the
secretary of the interior has ordered
Director Walcom to dispatch to the
reservation. Walcom's men will be
composed of a detail of competent
topographers and engineers, who are TO
ascertain the quantity of surplus
waters in the Uintah reservation under
the terms of the Rawlins bill.
This will be quite an important and
comprehensive work. 1t will be neceS-
sary not only to ascertain the quantity
of water in each stream, but also the
amount of irrigable land on the reser-
walton, and what water the Indians
need. Under the Rawlins law it is pro-
vided that only water in excess of
what is required by the Indians can be
used by other parties. The secretary of
the interior is very anxious to con-
serve all the rights of Indians and the
investigation will, therefore, be very
thorough, and an early report is hardly
to be expected.
The affairs of the Shoshones of Wyo-
ming will be disposed of at an early
date. and the result will be nearly as
desired by the agent and delegation re-
Gently visiting Washington. The report
that the delegation had returned to
the city is incorrect, and is due to con-
rounding them with an Indian delega-
tion from the northwest. Assistant
Commissioner Tanner says that he was
very well pleased with the visit of
Chief Sharpnose of the Shoshones,
whom he regards as an uncommonly
bright Indian, and he attaches much
confidence to his statements
