NAVY YARDS TOO SMALL.
Rear Admiral Endicott, In Annual
Report, Says Relief Is Necessary.

Report, Says Relief Is Necessary.
Rear Admiral Endicott, chief of the
bureau Of yards and docks, in his annual
report to the Secretary Of the Navy says
several of the yards, especially those at
New York and Norfolk. are becoming
congested owing to their limited area,
and that unless some action is taken look
ing to their relief their efficiency will be-
come restricted. The estimates for the
coming fiscal year, it is explained, pro-
vide for continuing the work on dry docks
at Charleston, New York and Norfolk
and the steel floating dock ut Cavite,
L. /. With the exception of the esti-
mate for the Improvement of the water
front at the New York yards 100000
these are among the largest items for
which estimates are submitted. Admiral
Endicott says a dry dock of the largest
capacity should be constructed at once
Mt Pensacola. which yard he believes will
be of undouhted Importance to the flu
ture. He adds that new dry dock III
timately will be required at the Puget
Sound yard.

lagos Together.
A recent number Of telephone mag
azine published in Chicago gives the num-
Der of independent telephone exchanges
in New York State as 292, most Of them
used by small country communities. Ohio,
where the. independent telephone move
ment is strongest, has only 367, and In
diana $50 New Hampshire has only "a,
Massachusetts, SO and New Jersey but
GO. Now movement is under way to
unite these independent New York ex-
changes by building a long-distance trunk
line from Buffalo to New York City, es-
tablishing connections with each and at
this end with an independent company
which processes to have secured already
contracts for $4,000 telephones in par
tial canvass of the city and expects by
the low rates it will offer to secure twice
that number. The plan is to organize
the village independent telephone eX-
changes into county systems with ~
cent rate for all villages and cities with
in a county, whether they be one or 100
miles apart, and correspondingly low
rate for long-dstance calls outside Of the
county 1t is argued that with rate
so low telephoning will very largely take
the place Of letter writing, and that SO
that the large expense of installing the
system will quickly be made up despite
the low rate

MISSOURI HAS AN EARTHQUAKE.
Recent Disturbance Calls Attention to
Some Historic Facts.


An earthquake along the western
banks Of the Mississippi in southeastern
Missouri occasioned considerable alarm
the other evening. The shock was felt
as far north as st. Louis, but the seis-
mic disturbance lasted less than min
ute and no damage was done. The dis
turbance was generally felt over New
Madrid, Jefferson and the surrounding
counties. An interesting fact about this
shock is that it occurred in the exact
territory which, beginning in 1911, was
the scene of a series Of earthquake phe-
nomena that extended over a period of
two years Southeastern Missouri and
northeastern Arkansas suffered more
from subterranean disturbances at that
time than any other part Of our domain
within the historic period. The region
was inhabited chiefly by Indians. If it
had possessed it's present density of popu-
lation the shocks, which were very Sc
we're for several months, would have been
numbered among the worlds great ca
lamities.

the number of idle workers about 2,40O.
There are sixteen other branches of the
organized workers yet to make demands

been united in a compact organization
controlling almost $4,000 or more work
ers. Every Gamer at the yards Will quit
work on orders from the union, accord
ing to the leaders, and similar moves
throughout the industry would make 1t
possible for the unions to tie up the meat
supply of millions of people. The can
ners demanded an increase Of % cents
day. The packers offered to increase
the unskilled / cent an hour, but refused
to give the higher paid workers any more
money.

power to save their lake front tracks for
a quarter of mile in the heart of the

PEoNAGE CASES IN LOUISIANA
Federal Grand Jury Finds 1t Difficult
to Get Information.

1t is authoritatively learned that the
federal grand jury, now in session at
Shreveport, La, is Investigating alleged
cases of peonage in north Louisiana. Sew
eral witnesses were examined, number
being brought from Ouachita Parish. One
negro witness was ordered imprisoned
for testifying falsely before the grand
jury. 1t is understood that a Ouachita
planter is involved in the investigation.
He is said to have kept negroes in bond
age and on one or two occasions had six
black employees stripped and badly whip
ped. The general belief is that the in
vestigation will not produce practical re-
suits. owing to the difficulty of getting
testimony.
