COAL AND WATER BARGEs.
Question of Jurisdiction Settled Re-
RardfnE Their Construction.

A question of jurisdiction having arisen
between the construction and equipment bu-
reaus of the navy as to the responsibility
for the construction Of the coal and water
barges, Secretary Long has decided that
the construction bureau is to build these
craft in ordinary times. but that the equip
ment bureau may do so in cases of emer-
gency.
There was a friendly controversy over
this matter between Rear Admiral Brad
ford, chief of the bureau Of equipment, AMI
Rear Admiral Bowles. chief of the bureau
of construction and repair. and the charge
was made that the f1rst-named officer had
violated the rule laid down by the Secre-
tary in the matter. 1t is understood, how
ever, that Admiral Bradford acted through
a misunderstanding. and with no intention
to violate the rules. Secretary Long said
today the matter was of no Importance and
had been amicably settled.

Some Differences of Opinion.

The State Department VIII Contfnu
ExertiOns in Miss stones Behalf.

The reason for Consul General Dickn-
sons departure from Sofia for Constantine
pie, as reported in the press dispat tches this
morning, is not known at the State Depart
ment. That he intended to leave Sofia was
known, and 1t is assumed that he has found
that his immediate presence in Bulgaria,
where he is hampered in his attempts at
communicating with Miss Stone by the Bull
garian officials, is actually harmful to her
case. The movement does not mean that
the State Department has decided to abate
it's efforts toward securing Miss Stones re-
lease, and the fact is that those efforts will
be continued in another and more promis-
ing direction.

CULTIVATION OF SUGAR BEETs.
German Syndicate Will EndeayOr to
Restrict 1t.

The State Department has received from
Vice Consul General Murphy at Frankfort,
Germany, translation of a recent article
in German newspaper, stating that the
supervising committee of the German SUI
gar syndicate has decided to use it's infiu-
ence toward reduction in the cultivation
of sugar beets next year, owing to the de-
pressed condition of the sugar market, and
that an effort will be made to effect an in
ternational agreement on that subject The
newspaper states: so long as the govern
ment assists the industry with bounties and
in other ways, normal development of the
business of raising beets can hardly be ex-
pected. The overproduction, which it is
now desired to combat has been artificially
caused, or at least encouraged"

Some Differences of Opinion.
Some difference Of opinion exists among
army officers to whether General Gro
Zier's appointment is permanent or whether
it is detail of four years under the army
reorganization law. The opinion of several
gentlemen versed in military law is that
the appointment is permanent and that the
detail for four years provided for in the re-
organization law applies only to line Of
ficers detailed chiefs of bureaus. Cen
eral Crozier will not retire until 1919 and
If the contention is sustained that his ap-
pointment is permanent, his term as chief
of ordnance will be nearly eighteen years
and will preclude the possibility of any of
the officers that rank him securing that
grade.
