Lieu Lands.
Careful study has been given by your
Commission to the subject OF forest-reserve
lleu-land selections. These selections have
given rise to great scandal and have led
to the acquisition by spectators OF much
valuable timber and agricultural land ana
its consolidation into large holdings. Fur
thermore, the money loss TO the Govern
ment and the people from the selection
OF valuable lands In lieu Of worthless areas /
has been very great. There has been /
no commensurate return i'm the way of |
increased settlement and business actlv- 1
lty. Public opinion concerning lieu-land |
selections, by railroads in particular has |
reached an acute stage. The situation Is |
In urgent need of remedy. and your Com
mission recommends the repeal Of the laws
providing for leu|and selections.
A partial remedy by Executive action
has already been applied by carefully To-
eating the boundaries of new forest re-

Z l, 1902, authority was granted for the
construction of two battleships after
ward named the Connecticut and
Louisiana, each 450 feet long, 76 Is
feet wide, with a draft of 24 feet 6
inches. A short time after this action
Of Congress, the Navy Department de-
cided to have one of the battleships
constructed by private parties. the
Government endeavoring to build the
other.
Government Go. Bad Start Too.
The contract for the Louisiana was
let to the Newport News Shipbuilding
and Dry Dock Company who laid the
keel for that vessel on February Z,
1903, while the Government was de-
layed in the construction of its vessel
SO much that the keel was not laid
down until March 10 of the same
year. The Government was further
delayed in building the Connecticut
owing to non arrival of necessary ma
chinery and armOr plate. yet with all
of these drawbacks the latest figures
published by the Navy Department
show the GOvernmcnt-built boat
farther advanced .Oward completion
than that being erected by a private
concern. The Louisiana was the first
to receive its christening, having been
launched August % 1904; the Con-
necticut did not take to the waves
until September % of the same year.
The Brooklyn Navy Yard, where the
Connecticut is being built is now en-
ploying over 1000 men on the battle
ship and it is stated that there is
still room for 200 more workmen.
With the rapid progress now being
made on the vessels it is estimated
that they will be ready to go into
commission by June of next year
Most Formidable of War hips.
These battleships when completed
will be among the most formidable
war vessels of the world; the main
battery on each will consist of four
Pinch, eight S-inch and twelve z
inch rifles; the secondary battery will |
have twenty 3-inch rapid fire guns !
twelve 3-pounders, eight 1-pounders |
and a number of rapid fire guns Of |
smaller calibre. There will also be !
four submerged torpedo tubes The |
ships will have ample protection by |
heavy armor ranging in thickness
from nine to eleven inches. The con-
tract calls for vessels of 10000 tons
with steaming capaci-
ty, at 10 knots per hour, of 5000 miles
without recoaling. They are expect
I'd, however, to make 1S knots per
hour at the official trial. Each ship
will be manned by S55 officers and
men. The contract price of the Lou
siana is $3,990,O00 while the Connect
cut is expected to cost $4,2120O0.

AS early as 1914 football had be- |

game and attracted SO many disord- |

King Edward ii was on the throne

RIVAL NAVAL BUILDERS.
GOVERNMENT CONSTRUCTORS
BEAT PRIVATE CONCERN
IN SHIPBUILDING.
The Connecticut Ahead of Sister Ship
Louisiana-Cost However Greater
First War Ship Ever Built by the
Government.

There is great rivalry between the
United States Navy Yard at Brooklyn
and n private shipbuilding concern at
Newport News, over the construction
of the two naval war leviathans, Con-
necticut and Louisiana. The Govern
ment is building the Connecticut, and
the shipbuilding company is rushing
toward completion the Louisiana.
The figures given out but a short time
ago by the Navy Department show
that the Connecticut is 91.36 per cent
completed, while her sister ship shows
a percentage of completion of 1925.
n comparison shows then that the
Government-built boat has a slight
lead, which is all the more gratifying
to the champions of Government con-
truction when it is considered that
this is the first battleship ever built
in the United States by any other
than private constructors and that it
was predicted that the Government
could not compete with private build
1rs. Nevertheless the Government
ship will cost the more.

tie attention then as now, for in 1891
we find another act in which "fute
bale and golfe' were roasted to a
| turn and prohibited under severe
penalties.
The unregenerate Of Scotland were
much given to playing football on
Sunday. At first it interfered with
the practice of archery on the Sew
enth Day, and later, when the Sab
batarian movement had acquired
prominence, it kept people away from
church.so in 1891 we find the town
council of Edinburgh strictly forbid
ding the playing of matches on the
Sabbath.
Not only was the game itself
rough, but it attracted great con
courses of people who were willing
at all times to jump in with clubs
and other weapons and resent un-
fairness or poor decisions. For
some reason ShrOve Tuesday was the
great date for annual contests, cor
responding to what Thanksgiving Day
used to he in this country. On this
day the crowds swarmed out to the
greens and, from the descriptions we
have, their conduct before and after
the games would have made the wild
nights few years ago in the New
York Tenderloin after a big game in
that city look like a Sunday School |
picnic.

Lit Mitchell Held for Unexplained
Murderous Assault

While about to take a street car at
Madres Park, northeast, where he had been
attending a picnic, Edward Kelly was shot
in the forehead with revolver in the
hands of a man whom he did not know.
The crowd at once took charge of the as
sailant, but he got away before an officer
came up. but was considerably bruised dur
ing a struggle with his captors. He was
shortly afterward taken into custody by Of
ficer Owens and conveyed to the Emery
ency Hospital. where his wounds were
drssed. He was then taken back to the
second precinct station house. where he
gave his name as Lit Mitchell of 1893 Ore
gon avenue northwest
Mitchell was arraigned in the Police Court
this morning charge of assault with
dangerous weapon. He pleaded not guilty,
but Judge O. Neal held him for the action
of the grand jury. In default of bond for
$500, Mitchell was committed to jail.
Kelly told the judge this morning that
while he was walking through the crowd
at the picnic grounds. late last evening
his face. The discharge struck him in the
forehead and glanced, but inflicted a bad
wound, and almost blinded him for a time.
He did not know the assaiant. and did not
even him. Friends who were with him
at the time identified Mitchell the man
guilty of the assault. The cause of the
shooting is unknown, as the men were not
even acquaintance.
Mitchell appeared in the court this morn
ing with bad bruise on his head and blood
on his clothes. This caused. the wit
nesses say, by the beating which he
ceived at the hands of the crowd, which
incensed at the act.

Jafas May Held on the Charge OF
Robbery

1t is believed that a robbery which ma Is
baffied the police for several DAYS was
cleared up yesterday by the arrest of Jafas
May by Officer Fortney of the second pre-
cinct station. A careful lookout has been
made for the perpetrator of the theft ever
since the loss reported to the police
and the elimination came yesterday when
May tried to dispose of a silver-case watch
which, tits alleged, was among the articles
stolen. The suspicion of the man to whom
the watch was offered was aroused. and an
officer was called The latter decided a;
once that the case, marked G.. W., was The
'one reported to have been stolen. May was
therefore taken to the station house
The case came up before Judge O'Neal in
the Police Court today. After the prosecu-
ton had been heard May was held to await
the action of the grand jury. Bond was
fixed at $500, in default of which he was
committed to Jail.
Charles Walker reported to the police
last week that while he was asleep in his
home at 1852 9th street northwest some one
entered and pilfered a number of valuables
from his trousers in the sleeping room,
taking So in money. three pocketbooks ana
a silver-case- watch. He could furnish 40
clue to the robber
After his arrtst May denied that he had
stolen the watch. At first he said he bought
1t in Chattanooga, whence he came only
last Friday. Later he told the officer that
he purchased 1t on Pennsylvania avenue.
When he persisted in saying that he rea en-
ed Washington only last Friday, following
the larceny, he was asked where he stayed.
Il sleep IN the park, was his answer.
