DOCKING FACILITIES LACKING
Report Of Admiral Caps, Chief Naval
Constructor.

Provision for construction OF dry dock
at Pensacola, Fla, capable of accommo-
dating the largest ships in the navy, IS
urged by Rear Admiral Caps chief con-
structor of the navy. In his annual report,
Regarding docking facilities elsewhere on
the Atlantic coast the chief constructor
says there are only two docks on this coast
in which 1t Is possible to dock large bat
teships and cruisers and that until the
DOCKS under construction at Portsmouth
n. H; New York. League Island, Norfolk
Charleston and Mare Island are completed
the work of the bureau of construction and
repair is performed at disadvantage
the report says that, while 1t was antci-
pated that the cost of the construction OF
the Connecticut at the New York navy
yard would exceed the contract price or
the Louisiana, her sister vessel under con-
struction at the Newport News Shipbuild-
ing and Dry Dock Company. every effort
Is being made to keep the cost within the
limit fixed by Congress, and 1t is hoped
that II Will not be necessary TO recommend
an extension of the limit OF cost in this
case. The date Of completion of the two
vessels will not differ to any considerable
extent. The report reiterates that tho
repairing and overhauling of the feet must
at all times remain the important work
OF navy yards. and in time of war their re-
sources will be taxed to the utmost Ia per-
forming such work"
Inability to complete the Cumberland and
Intrepid within the limit OF cost at the
navy yards at Boston and Mare Island the
report states, necessitates request for an
Increase of $4,000 each in the limit OF
insistence OF Congress that the golfers
Prometheus and Vestal be constructed in
navy yards. the report calls for in
crease in the limit of their cost.

time he spent aboard the Gertrude Wands

Blood poisoning has made one Of his hands

The man was picked up at Deals Island
with two others, Roy Wilson and Martin
Trayers. likewise Of Philadelphia. who had
been on the Gertrude Wands The three
men boarded the Window at Deals Island

having been beaten with shovels and other
things. They said they had made their
escape and swan ashore. While they were
ON the shore attempting to attract the at
tention of those on board the Window.

TOLD A PATHETIC STORY.
Prince Min Complains of Japan's Treat
ment Of Korea.

Prince Min. the Korean minister to
France, who has been In Washington for
several days past. called by appointment at
the State Department today and had q
conference with Secretary Root. lasting
nearly half an hour. He told a pathetic
story OF the treatment of Korea by the
japanese officials, who have assumed d.
rection OF affairs in the country to a large
extent, and while he made no direct re-
quest, his mission being in fact informal
as he explained. the prince made it evf-
dent that his emperor would keenly appre-
ciate a continuance of official recognition
by the United States of Korean entity. He
seemed to find some satisfaction In the ex-
PLANTATION which was given him that the
United States government had not termi-
mated diplomatic relations with Korea,
though It Is true these relations are here
after to be conducted through Japan.
1t Is not probable that there will be any
other outcome to this mission and the
prince expects to return soon to France.

CHILD PAINFULLY BURNED.
Mother Also Injured in Attempting to
Smother Flames.

A hurry call was received at the ninth
precinct police station yesterday afternoon
about LIS o'clock, and the patrol wagon
was sent to house Cos Callan street north
east. where Laura Crutchley, eleven years
old. was suffering from severe burns about
her body face and hands The child was
in serious condition when the police
reached the house and quick run was
made to the Casualty Hospital Mrs.
Crutchley, mother of the child. was also
taken TO the hospital. She had received
burns about her hands and arms while
trying to save the life OF her child The
mother remained in the hospital only long
enough to have the surgeons dress her
burns, but the serious condition Of the child
necessitated her detention for treatment
The child was in the yard of nefghbor
with a number OF other children playing
about fire, and when she turned her back
to the blaze her dress ignited. Instead OF
waiting for the other children to make an
effort to extinguish the flames Laura ran
home. the stiff breeze causing the flames to
spread so rapidly that by the time she
reached her mother, her dress had burned
almost from her body. Mrs. Cr11tchley
took her child in her arms, and did the
best she could to extinguish the flames
1t was while she was SO engaged that she
received the painful burns Dr. Baldwin
took charge of the young patient at the
hospital, and did what he could to get her
on the road to recovery. 1t was stated at
the hospital this morning that the child
was in a critical condition.

NEW YORK BALLOT RECOUNT.
Argument Begun in Court Today
Array of Counsel.

ALBANY, N. Y, December 11-Argu-
ment was begun in the court of appeals
today In the so-called New York ballot
box case. There was a very large attend
ance OF lawyers and spectators.
The contest represents the contention
OF VIM. Randolph Hearst. John Ford and
J. G. Phelps Stokes, municipal ownership
candidates that at the election of Novem-
Der they Were rightfully elected, re-
spectively. to the Offices of mayor con-
troller and president of the board Of
aldermen of the Greater New York. and
that this will be shown by recount of
the votes.
The matter comes before the court OH
appeal from a decision of the appellate
division, first department, which affirmed
an order directing the issue of a manda-
mus for recount and recanYass of the
vote cast in the second election district
of the second assembly district of New
York city. The original order of the SUI
preme court directed recount and a re-
canvass. This was subsequently changed
to provide for a recount without a. recan-
yass. The appellate division restored it to
its original form.
Chief In the array OF counsel were for
mer Gov. Frank S. Black, who appeared
for the Hearst side, and former Judge Al
ton B. Parker, representing the claims OF
Mayor Mcclellan and his democratic col
leagues.
