Naval Authorities
Deny Impeachment

Naval authorities in Washington scoff
at the suggestion that the plans OF the
Dreadnought were surreptitiously OBJ
tained by this Government, and deny
that the plans OF the 1S.00o-ton battle
ship have in any manner been inspected
by American naval architects.
II we could obtain the Dreadnought
plans in manner free and above board
they would be of considerable profess
sional interest TO US" said a naval con-
structor, today. But even If we were
so minded. / do not think II would be
worth while 10 try 20 obtain them in a
sneaking way. We believe our ability to

The diminutive pages that go scurry-
ing around the halls Of Congress need
not he in fear OF losing their Jobs by
the enactment OF a child labor law by
Congress When the Senate Committee
on Education and Labor reports such a

that IT will eliminate the provision ap-
plying to the pages In the Senate and
House OF Representatives.

Senate will substitute the Dubois bill
for the House act Members of the

be more stringent 1t provides explicit
