TO have been considerable. Without
counting homicides and crimes OF vio-

months numbered more than 400, and
the various articles stolen total some

a trial, it had to be held in a church.

One Of the mistakes made by many

because they can't forget the old-style

keep the lips a few inches from the

Some of the volumes showed the patient,
untiring work of years, with Illuminated
pages and beautiful lettering, every stroke
by hand. done in the long ago by the
pains taking monks. Among the Tarest
OF these was a Roman m,ssal printed
probably in the fourteenth century, show

bound in morocco. its cover studded with
pearls and enamel, with pen and ink
drawings finer than any steel engra ving
of modern times, was one of the most ad-

a Latin book of devotion, with its lids of
silk, richly embroidered in gilt, with che
work between the lids not less beautiful.
A miniature copy of the Elzevir, publish
ed in 1924, in an excellent state of preser-
walton, was also there. An original edi-

in Naval station Recon-
mendations.

Secretary Long concurs In the recent
recommends ton of the naval board for the
transfer of the south Atlantic naval sta
ton from Port Royal to Charleston, s. c..
and arrangements will now proceed for the
purchase of the site at Charleston and the
carrying out of the transfer Already there
is available 500, 900 for the general pur-
exceed 100000 can be used in the purchase
of the site. The first formal step will be
to direct Admiral Endicott chief of the
bureau of yards and docks. to arrange for
the site in accordance with the recommen-
dations. There is a question whether the
purchase price of the site selected can be
brought within the 100000. That portion
within the Charleston Park, called Chicora
Park, can be had at the government price,
but the private land adjoining Is held at
$4,000 and the naval board recommends a
price which will aggregate about $54 900
In case this cannot be bought at reason
able figure, the government will resort to
condemnation proceedings. The purpose
is to acquire also certain marshland as
side of the Cooper river, which will give
the government the advantage of all the
approaches. This marsh land Is owned by
the state, and probably will be given free
of cost to the government. AS to the
adjustment of the station itself. there will
be no steps until Admiral Endicott has
made arrangements for securing the site.
Secretary Long will send all OF the papers
to Congress, although the action above in
dicated already is provided for, and does
not need additional authority Of Congress.
