CAPPs DEFENDS THE NAVY
Chief Of Bureau Of Construction
Answers Attacks Ia Reports.
He Thinks There Are Few Defects
and That Such 40 Exist Are
Not His Fault.

Washington, Nov. 26.-From time to
time during the past few months
there have APPEARED In various pub.
LEGATIONS comments concerning al.
legged defects In vessels Of the navy
and particularly in battleships and
armored cruisers. In answer to these,
Rear Admiral Capps, chief Of the bu'
reau of construction and repairs, have
devoted much the larger part of his
annual report to the secretary Of the
navy just made public.
Admiral Capps courts responsible
ity for the designs such as they are
and pays the highest tribute to his
predecessors In ONCE. He declares
that our battleship feet is fully
equal in all respects to that Of any
equal name Of ships In any other navy
designed during the same period. He
further quotes one Of the most dis
tingulshed foreign authorities on that
point as follows:
"The extraordinary high figures for
United States ships affords food for
thought, for both in ships with high
powered guns or impervious to vital
injury, at long range the United
States fleet is superior to any other
in the world"
Recurring to the criticisms of the
battlesliips Admiral Caps says:
"The chief constructor hopes that
he has demonstrated fully and clear
ly that such serious faults as may
exist in battleships and armored
cruisers were not due to the arbi-
trary methods Of the board Of con-
structor or to the bureau Of con-
structlon and repairs, but were al
most wholly due to developments in
material and the insistence of sea-
going officers that certain military |
features should be embodied in the
original design or, subsequently that
covering the same should be |
made, and under these last conditions
the changes obviously involved a
very considerable increased cost"
Estimates for the next fiscal year
for construction and repair Of ships
shows an increase Of sS50,0O0 over
the appropriations for the present
year.

A CONFIDENT TONE
The Treasury Department Feels
More Certain Of Success Of
New Loans.
TO RESUME CASH PAYMENTS
Banks In Larger Cities Have Reach.
ed Understanding BY Which
Currency viii Soon Pass

1 S&AtSbSy WIZ SVOtl ass
| Over Counters.
Washington, Nov. ga more CON
fident tone in regard to the success
of the new loans prevailed at the
treasury department Monday than at
any time since the announcement Of
the loans, week ago. The visits
Of Mr. Morgan on Friday and satur.
day were followed Monday by visit
from James B. Forgan, president Of
the First National bank of Chicago.
Mr. Forgan saw the president, Sec.
rotary Cortelyou and Treasurer Treat,
and expressed his belief that the
banks throughout the country would
soon be in position to resume cash
payments. The subjects is of pc.
culiar interest to the treasury Of
f1cials, because for nearly month
government receipts have been de-
clining as direct result Of the scar,
city of currency. Distillers, brewers
and others, who are required to pur-
chase internal revenue stamps, have
not been able to secure currency in
sufficient quantities from the banks
with which to purchase these stamps,
and as the collectors are not al
lowed under the law to receive certi-
ned checks, of anything but lawful
money, except at their personal risk,
the result has been that even a suf-
f1cient amount of stamps to cover i'm
mediate needs has been difficult to
obtain. The government is insisting
that depositary banks shall, as soon
as possible, meet the demands for
currency in this respect. There
seems to be general desire among
the bankers in New York, Chicago
and other sub-treasury cities and
financial centers, to resume currency
payments at the earliest possible mo.
ment, and Mr.. Forgan's visit was
made with a view of learning the
views OF, the treasury officials On this
particular subject Mn Forgan repre-
sented that the Chicago banks would
be able to resume upon an under
with the banks in other
cities, within the next week or ten
lays at the latest. Minneapolis and
st. Paul banks, he said, were quite
ready to resume at any time and
night take the initiative in this re-
'pect very soon. It Is believed among
he treasury officials that complete
understanding was arrived at between
he banks in New York, Philadelphia.

WHY SHE SHOT HIM
Mrs. Bradley Did Not Go to Wash.

She Says. NJ

Che Had Read q Letter From An
Actress to the Former Sen.
ator Just Before the
Shooting. ~


Washington, Nov. 21.-That Mri
Bradley did not come to Washington
with an intention OF killing Forme
Senator Arthur M. Brown, Of Utah
and that she did not even remembe
shooting him, she told the jury In hel
trial Wednesday. The statement wal
not reached until the afternoon ses
sion Of the court, the first half Of thu
day being given largely to the identiii
cation OF letters from Mr.. Brown Il
Mrs. Bradley and from her to him
very few Of which were read.
The real tragedy formed the sub
ject Of the afternoon sitting, At thai
time Judge Powers. brought out the
full statement in his examination In
chief. This consumed only few
minutes and as soon as he concluded
District Attorney Baker entered upon
his cross examination. He devoted
comparatively little attention to the
shooting itself, but going back to the
early days Of the relationship between
Senator Brown and Mrs. Bradley
sought to show by reading letters and
questioning the witness that she had
deliberately undertaken to break up
Senator Browns home and that she
was at enmity with Mrs. Brown as
early as 1901. He also brought out
the fact that Mrs. Bradley and Mrs.
Brown had originally been strong
friends dnd that this friendship even
extended beyond the time Of the birth
Of Mrs. Bradley's first child by Brown.
Mrs. Bradley was upon the whole
more composed than on Tuesday.
There were times when she burst into
tears, or sank into signs and sobs but
these were less frequent than on
Tuesday. Her voice was. however,
at all times indlstinct and faltering
and she was heard with the greatest
diiflculty. She made no complaint Of
fatigue and left the witness stand at
the end Of the day in very good CON
dition.

City VIII Be Thoroughly Cleaned.

Mayor Suggs and the sanitary commit
tee of the City Council were in Birming-
ham today, where they purchased -FOUR
mules and two wagons to be used by the
city in collecting garbage.
Mayor Suggs said today that he was
we'll aware of the fact that vast amount
of rubbish, etc, had been allowed TO col
lect in the alleys and other places about
the town, and had long had his ideas
a to how these conditions could be RENE
died. which he would now put into effect
at is my intention to start right In ana
keep the garbage wagons at work untll
all the old rubbish is removed, and VIII
adopt the system that Is now being used
In Birmingham and endeavor to put the
city in better shape from sanitary
standpoint than it has ever been.'
The quarters that were vacated by the
fire department when they moved into
their new ones. will be fixed up for tax
ing care of the stock so that the city
will have its own stables and hostlers.
The mayor is of the opinion that a
thousand dollars spent in equipment FOR
taking care of the garbage will be more
than saved within one years time, and
that sanitary conditions will also be
greatly improved by the city having full
charge of all the work.
