B|C PLANS FUR INCREASE OF THE
 NAVY ARE UNDER CONSIDERATION

New York, October 27. - A vaster pro- gramme for an increase of the navy than has ever before been contemplated on this side of the Atlantic is now under considera- tion by the Board of Construction, says Washington dispatch to the Tribune, and if approved by the President, as it is eX- pected to be- it is to be urged upon Con gress at the coming session.
 The project involves the construction of no less than forty warships, including sev eral specialities not heretofore built for naval purposes. The Board of Rear Ad- mirals, which has taken up the subject un- der special direction from Secretary Long, is availing itself of the highest expert opinions in the service in order that it's report will not be open to unfavorable criticism among naval officers, it being the expressed intention of the Navy Depart ment to discourage any opposition to a line of policy when once adopted. The programme will include no less than six ships of the heaviest armor and most destructive ordinance, with the highest practical speed, the greatest attainable radius of action upon a displacement of about 15,000 tons combining the most de- sirable features of line-of-battle ships and cruisers.

LOCAL STRIKES
 MAY BE ADJUSTED
Assistant Secretary Tighe and General Manager McCor-
 mick Hold Conference

There was no change in the Ensley and BessemeI strike situation yesterday, but a rumor is afioat that the trouble will be at an end in a very few days. This is based on the report that F. M Tighe, assistant secretary of the Amalgamated Association for the United States, had a conference with General Manager Mccormick of the Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railroad Com pany yesterday. The result of this confer ence has not been made public, but as MT. Tighe went to Bessemer and Ensiey last night it is believed that some proposition has been submitted which may be agree able to both sides.
 The strikers seemed pleased at the fact that Mr. Mccormick has taken the matter under consideration, and has not left 1t entirely with subordinates. The members of the Amalgamated Association say they are satisfied that MT Mccormick is will ing to do what is fair and right since he has been correctly informed as to the sit uation.
 Though what transpired at the recent conference, has been kept secret, the men who quit work are confidently expecting to resume their positions sometime this week.

At least twenty gunboats are proposed of several types, all of light draft, with large rapid-fire batteries and accommodations to give comfort to officers and crews sta- toned in the tropics. All of these gun boats will be able to go out to Manila, and then, if necessary, to China interior ports under their own steam.
 Provision Is made in the programme for an increase in the torpedo f1otila by ten new vessels, including a new type of tor pedo cruiser the lines of existing tor pedo-boat destroyers, which can accom- pany fleet of battle-ships across the ocean. Several of the other new vessels Tn this category are to be submarine if suc- cess attends the improved Holland boats now under contract.
 The programme will also include three armed colliers, larger than any vessels of this class ever built for government. They are to have enormous capacity, enabling each of them to deliver 10000 tons of coal to Manila Guam or Pago Page. A large unarmed snip which is recommended Is Q floating machine shop of about 5000 tons displacement for duty in repairing vessels at great distances from government yards, especially in the Philippines. Her design grows out of the experience with the Vul- can at Guatanamo, when that vessel obvi- ated the necessity of withdrawing half the fleet from the Santiago blockade.

BREWTON
Precautions Against Fever-News fl
 South Alabama

Brewton, October 27-(Special. )-H. M. Mathis, a farmer resident of Brewton, but lately government employe in Cuba died there about two weeks ago of yellow fever. His wife. who was with him at his demise, immediately left for New York. where the quarantine authorities readily admitted the steamer on which she was a passenger. From New York Mrs. Mathis came on to Brewton. Her presence here aroused some uneasness, and the board of health at a called meeting. decided that 1t would not be wise for Mrs Mathis to remain here, and she accordingly left that night for Atlanta. There is no reason for a yellow fever scare here. It is true that there have been several cases of malarial fever, just as there have been through out this section of the country: but the general health of Brewton is good and is rapidly improving.

REMARKABLE DECREASE IN CASES
BEFORE OHIO COURTS.

Prosperity Reduces the Number of Civil
sut's-Compsrison of Totals of Cases

Pleas Courts For Two Years Past.
Some statistics regarding the work
of the courts of the state for the past

the number of cases taken to the su-
preme court from the circuit court is
25s, as compared with 80 for the pre-

that the whole number of cases before
that court for the past year is only
55,231, as compared with 1920 for the
previous year-a decrease in the num-
ber of cases of 16,9S9. The number

They aver that Fearing street was

time the T. & o. C. Ex. had force of
more than 80 men laying the tracks
and when the injunction was served
the tracks were already laid.

The threatened strike in the great
anthracite coal mining region of Penn
sylvanla has reached the danger
point, and unless some concessions are
made, and made quickly, it seems GER
tain that the worst fears will be real
lied. In the event that this strike
comes, one hundred and forty thous-
and miners will be thrown out of en-
ployment one million people will be
effected, and millions of dollars of
capital will be idle. 1t is to be hoped
that all differences will be adjusted
and that the strike will be averted.
