BUILD MORE SHIPS.
Dewey Says Present Policy of Con
gress Is Retrograde Move.

Washington, Dec. II. Admiral
Dewey believes that the authorization
by congress of at least three large bat
tleships a year is essential for keeping
the American navy in state of eff
cheney and that the policy of one bat
tleship year now being urged by a
certain element, would be a positive
retrograde movement.
He was asked if the policy suggested
by SOME persons of only providing one
battleship during an entire congress
would result in an actual increase in
the navy or in virtual decrease in
fighting strength.
'such policy would be retrograde
in its character" said the admiral.
ut would not take up the waste or sup
ply the places of the ships that are
bound to deteriorate and which should
be placed out Of commission. We have
three battleships which were fine ships
in their day, but they were laid down
in 1891, about 16 years ago. They are
the Indiana, the Oregon and the Massa-
chusetts. They have the defect of not
possessing balance turrets, which causes
a list when their guns are all trained to
one side, thus exposing the hull below
the water line and laying the ships
open to danger from the fire of an
enemy ON that side.p

PRESIDENTS EYE ON RAILROAD


Washington, Dec. 1S. - President
Roosevelt Is taking a deep interest in
the situation az to ear shortage, com
plants regarding which have come
from many sections of the United
States. Some time ago partial state
ment bearing on the car shortage was
submitted to the president by the In
terstate Commerce commission, and,
when the more complete report, which
the commission has under wayKin the
Northwest, has been prepared, il will
be sent 20 the president for his infor-
nation In the event he decides to make
any recommendations to congress on
the subject. lie has not yet taken any
steps indicating his probable course.
Among suggestions that have been
made to the president is that he recon-
mend legislation by congress empower
ing the government TO take charge of
railroads and operate them under Ger
tain contingencies especially In case
like the present.

COAL PROBLEM
IS HARD nut
Some Solution to Present Evils OF
Law l.. Likely.
President an Advocate of the Leasing
Proposition Law is Supposed 10
Help Individual, but Does Not 10
so-Definite Action at This Ses-
sion Likely.

Washington, Dec Is. - Strenuous
efforts will be made at the present ses-
sion of congress to secure the repeal or
Modification of the coal land law along
the lines recommended by President
Roosevelt in his message. That some
thing will be accomplished seems quite
probable, but what form OF law Will pc
substituted for that under which 81
gantic frauds have been perpetrated has
not yet been made apparent. The IN
fiuence OF the administration Will be
behind bill proposing to cut Off fur
ther sales of government coal land,
though permitting them to be worked
by individuals or companies on a royal
ty plan.
The president, like every other prac-
teal western man, knows that the ex-
listing coal land law is not sensibly
framed. That law was built on the
theory that the individual could take
up and develop quarter section OF coal
land, just as the homestead law gives
the Individual a like area of agricultur-
al land. But no individual can develop
q quarter section or whole section Of
coal land. He could not afford to in
stall the necessary machinery, or if he
could, his profits on a quarter section
would not recompense him for the out
lay. Moreover, no railroad would think
of building spur onto an isolated
quarter section of land and the owner
of the land could not afford to assume
that expense. So the individual with
a quarter section of coal land in his
possession would have white, or rath-
er black, elephant ON his hands. The
mineral wealth might be there in
but he could not get it out
and could not get it to market.
How to cure this evil is a question
for congress to decide, and some solu-
ton is likely to be forthcoming this
winter. Some favor change in the
law increasing the area of coal land
that may be purchased by individuals
or by companies or corporations to such
size that they can proftably invest and
put the coal ON the market. These men
would increase the price of coal land SC
that the government would reap larg-
er benefit from the sales.

EVILS OF CHILD LABOR.


Cincinnati, Dec. 15.--Before the first
session of the child labor convention
here last night, DIR. Felix Adler, chair
man of the national child labor com
mittee and professor of political and So
cial ethics in Columbia university
spoke on "The Attitude of Society To
ward the Child as an Index of Civiliza-
ton" Professor Adler spoke of the
inadequacy and inefficiency of state laws
and urged the necessity for national
law to furnish a background for effective
state and local activity and make the
enthusiasm of the people contagious in
its effect on local bodies, thus inducing
greater efforts for the child and a more
glorious future for the republic.
Addresses by Miss Jane Adams, Of
Hull house, Chicago, and United States
Senator Beveridge followed. A resolu-
ton was adopted emphasizing the be-
lief that it is the duty of the several
states to correct evils of child labor in
local manifestations, but indorsine
cordially the principle of the Bever-
idge-P Parsons bill for a national child
labor law"
Miss Adams urged the desirability of
uniform legislation against the evils of
child labor, and declared that the CEN
sus reports show America behind every
European country except Russia in so
far as child labor and its effects are con-
cerned.

Movement to Pay Members of Con-

Washington, Dee. l8.--The time IL
not far distant when congressional sal
aries viii be increased, this despite the
fnint heartednesa shown by members Of
the house in the vote ON the amend
ment to the Legislative appropriation
bill last Friday. 10 IL the universal
opinion OF senators and Representatives
that the present salary OF $4,000 ia
entirely inadequate, and that view APP
pears 10 be generally indorsed by the
people. just how large an increase
will be made is yet TO be determined
Some are contending for 81 900, others
for $4,000. The chances seem to fa-
vor the smaller amount.
There IL great deal Of merit behind
the movement for increased salaries for
senators and representatives In times
past $4,000 went farther than 1T does
today; il was u larger salary, as sal
aries went, and was moro Of an induce
ment than IL IL at the present time.
The time was when the average Cen
gresham could save money ON 81, GOO
salary, But that time liz past. 1t is
doubtful II dozen men III congress are
able to save single cent of their pres
emit salary; vast number OF them OK
pend much larger amounts each year.

KILL COAL OCTOPUS.
House Committee will Draft Bill for
Leasing of Land,

Washington, Dec. 10. = The house
committee on public lands will begin a
series of hearings next Monday on the
proposition to repeal the coal land law
and substitute law along the lines
suggested by the president in his mes
sage. The committee is agreed that
the present law must be changed, but
it Is not satisfied as to the best form Of
substitute.
Representative of the Geological
survey and the Interior department will
be heard, together with any one else
interested, and it is probable that the
Interstate Commerce commission VIII
also make suggestions based upon the
investigations recently made in Utah,
Wyoming and Colorado. The expecta-
tion is that some bill will be framed
directing that title to coal land shall
rest in the government, and that coal
be developed under the leasing or roy
atty system.
There was some criticism today OF
the extensive Withdrawals of coal lands
1T being contended that there is no law
giving the president authority to WIN
draw this land from entry. The ma
lority of the committee, however, de-
Tended the action of the president on
the ground that he had made the with
drawals in order to prevent monopoly
OF coal land in the West, and was acting
entirely in the public interest.
80
Strong efforts will be made to secure
the enactment OF coal land Legislation
this session.

SHOULD BUILD OWN wARsHIPs
Admiral Capps Says Government Has
Proved Ability.

Washington, Dec. IA The ability
of the government navy yard to turn
out warships equal in all respects TO
those built under contract, in the opin-
ion of Rear Admiral Capps, of the bu-
reau of construction OF the Navy, in his
annual report, has been fully demon
strated. He urges that at least one
yard on the Pacific coast and one on
the Atlantic coast, when practicable,
should be given reasonable proper
tion of new construction work in order
that such yards may always be available
for any work the government may de-
sire to undertake therein.
Admiral Capps admits that it costs
less to build a warship by contract by
reason of the shorter hours of labor,
paid holidays, vacations, etc.. granted
to navy yard employees, but he believes
nevertheless that the government should
be always prepared to turn out its own
ships in times Of emergeny. The lack
of suitable docking facilities at Norfolk
and Mare Island is commented upon as
being especially embarrassing to the
bureau, as no battleships of any class
can be docked at either of those yards.

Washington, Dec. 14.-Congress yes
terday received from the secretary of
the Navy the plans which the depart
ment has had drawn up for the big bat
tleship provided for in the last session.
-Four pland were submitted by the bu-
reau of construction and six by private

respects superior to any other built or
building. 1t was prepared by the con-
struction bureau.
According to the specifications the
broadside fire will be greater than that
OF any other battleship, the elevation
OF the guns will be greater, with conse-
quent increase of range; the defensive
qualities improved over present stand
ards and the total weight of the hull
and armor will exceed by over 8, 900
tons any other similar vessel. The
ship is to be $40 feet long, S5 feet 256
inches beam, 81 feet draft, 20 900 tons
displacement, 1900 tons coal capacity
and Il knots speed. The design sub
mitted by G. w. Dickie, late CT the
