APPROPRIATION TOO SMALL.
Good Academy Buildings Can't Be
 Completed for Sum Allowed.

Washington, November 24.-The atten- ton of Secretary Moody was directed to- day to the fact that it would be impossi- ble to complete the buildings at the Naval Academy within the limit of cost fixed by congress owing to the very large in- crease in the price of material. When the new academy buildings were planned congress fixed the limit of cost at sS. 000,- GOO, and Secretary Long apportioned this sum among the various buildings and improvements. Since then 1t has been de- cided to erect a hospital and to do cer- tain dredge work in the Severn.
 It is probable the secretary will call the attention of congress to the matter in his annual report.

is accused of the crime of forgery.
As goes the story, which of course
all his friends hope is liable to cor

habit of cashing checks during his
tenure OF office as superintendent of
construction for the company, at sew

checks drawn on Davenport
banks they were honored without
question. The checks alleged to have
been forged by Halpine were drawn
on the Tri-City Railway company and
were oashed at the Gus Becker saloon,
the Paul Berndt saloon and the Teddy
cashed at the Becker and Berndt es-
adjustments were in the amount of
$50 each, while that passed at the
Oelkers establishment was in the sum
of $40. The police are looking for the
missing construction boss, but are at
sea as to his whereabouts. Halpine

are with the family of the wife's
