$: Warships.

LOS ANGELES, Cal, April 2.-This

lighter today than yesterday. when over
1000 persons were carried back and
forth between the ocean and the city.
New visitors arrive In the city every
day, in many instances from remote
parts, and their greatest desire is to see
the ships. The big vessels were thrown
open to the public as usual. and the blue
jackets are punctilious in their reception
of guests. A squad of white-uniformed
men stands about each landing to assist
women aboard, and every part Of the
craft. from the comforts Of the ward
where hammocks are slung. is open to
inspection under the direction of enter
tanning guides.
More Tars Ashore.

ashore this morning and most Of them
went at once to Chutes Park, which has
been running as a sailors playground
ever since the feet arrived here. Crowds
gather there to watch the men and many
declare this spectacle IL the most inter-
esting of the visit. In the morning there
were boxing bouts In the welter and mid
dle-weight division followed by a barbe-
cue at noon, at which hundreds of sailors
were seated at rows Of tables ninety feet
long. In the afternoon most of the liberty
men will attend the wild west show in

EFFORTS OF SENATOR SCOTT

Millions for public buildings will be ap-
propriated by the House If the plan tenta-
lively agreed upon by the House today Is
carried out The plan is to report an
omnibus public buildings bill to the House
from the committee on public buildings
and grounds. the measure to carry $2O.-
OOOOOO 1t will be passed under the pres
ent special gag rule. which allows only
forty minutes discussion of each and
every bill called up.
Senator Scott's Efforts.
Senator Scott of West Virginia, chair
man of the committee on public buildings
and grounds, is determined that some
thing be done at this session of Congress
to relieve the crowded conditions In the
government departments. He appeared
buildings and grounds Monday and urged
committee to include in the omnibus
building bill, now pending before 1t, an
appropriation for at least one new de-
partmental building in this city.
Although 1t Is not unprecedented for
member of one branch of Congress to ap-
pear before committee of the other
branch. it is not done frequently. and
Senator Scott's action on this occasion
was indicative of his deep interest IN the
subject he had to present.
He called the attention Of the House
committee to the speech he made in the
Senate a week before in favor of the ex-
penditure of money for more local gov
ernment buildings in order to give better
facilities for conducting the public busi-
ness, and to save the hundreds of dollars
annually spent for rented quarters. 1t Is
a plain business proposition. he declared.
Committee Much Interested.
Members of the committee showed they
had read the speech with interest by ask
ing him many questions about points
made in it,
Mr.. Scott said he was especially anxious
to see the House committee take up the
matter, for If such an appropriation origt-
mated there 1t would be favorably acted
upon by his committee Of the Senates and
the difficulty of conference wrangljng
would be thus avoided. He declared, how
ever, that II no such item were included
in the bill the Senate committee would
put 1t on a. an amendment. and stand
out for 1t in conference.
The Building Suggssted.
Inquiries were made by several members
Of the committee> as TO, what building
Senator Scott wanted built at this. time.
but Mr.. Scott said that was matter
for the House to decide. He suggested
either building for the Department of
Commerce and Labor or for the Depart
ments Of State and Justice.
1t Is understood that Mr.. Scott was
given assurances that the House would
give the matter careful consideration and
was told that the committee would prob
ably do as he suggested.

Russia Forced to Regard the
Bandits Seriously.
CR0WOING ON BELESUvAR
Fierce Tribesmen Flock to Sup.
port the Outlaws.
TEHERAN TROOPS HELPLESS
Feared That Drastic Measures Must
Be Taken Before Peace
Is Restored.

ST. PETERSBURG, April 22.-The situ-
alton on the Persian frontier is consid-
cred here to be steadily becoming more
serious. despite the check to the Persian
brigands April 20, when the Russian
forces drove the bandits back with heavy
losses. The rising is gradually spread
ing, the other mountaineers now fiocking
to the assistance of the Shaksetan and
Beglivin tribes. against whom the opera
tions are being conducted.
2 Col. 'Konovalosef. the Russian chief OF
staff of. the frontier guard, who for years
has been stationed on the Persian frontier,
believes that the struggle will not be
terminated until the Persians have re-
ceived a. lesson Hike that of fifteen years
ago, when a Russian punitive expedition
crossed the frontier, and, after extended
operations, killed over thousand tribes
men and compelled two tribes to sue for
peace.
Persian Government Helpless.
The tribesmen are intensely hostile to
the Russians, and they mutilate savagely
the wounded Russians that fall into their
hands. The brigands are well armed
and the operations against them conse-
quently ares made difficult for the troops.
The frontier guard is inadequate to cope
with the situation, and a military expedi-
ton Is required to assist them. No aid Is
expected from Persia, as the tribesmen
neither acknowledge nor fear the govern
ment at Teheran.

Action a Surprise.


Commissioner Morrow states that there
does not appear to be any basis for as
suming even indiscretion on the part OF
any other District I-employe. Mr.. Fer
maids forced resignation was a great sur
prise to the many employees at the Dis
trict building, where he had been em-
ployed as an Official of the engineer de-
partment for nearly twenty years.
Exactly what transpired at the con-
ference between Commissioner Morrow
and the contractors in his private ONCE
this morning Is known to only those
present. as secrecy has been maintained.
Following the conference 1t was an
nounced that any information regarding
1t would have to come from Commissioner
Morrow.
The Investigation has been in progress
for more than three weeks. and the re-
quest for his dismissal was decided on at
an executive board session of the Commits
sioners yesterday afternoon. That the in
vestigation was thorough Is evident from
the fact that the books and rec
ords Of the highway offlve were
examined and contractors not only
in this city, but in Philadelphia.
work for the District within the past
three or four years were closely ques-
toned.

Denied by Mr. McDermott.

Commissioner Morrow says the confer
ence with the contractors this morning
was held at the request of Mr.. McDer-
mott Of the McMullen & McDermott Con-
struction Company, who, Brennan is al
legged to have said. gave Fernald $500.
Mr.. McDermott. according to Maj. Nor
row, wanted an opportunity to answer
Brennan's charge in the presence of Maj.
Morrow and the other contractors.
Mai. Morrow states that McDermott
emphatically denied giving Fernald the
money. and when asked what Brennan
said in reply explained: "Mr. Brennan
stated that he had been told by Fernald
that the latter was given the money by
McDermott, and when Fernald. who was
present at the conference, was asked
about this. he denied 1t emphatically.
Those at the conference in addition to
Commissioner Morrow, Fernald, Brennan
and McDermott were Engineer of High
ways Hunt. Assistant Engineer Commis-
sioner Markham, Robert Farnum, local
engineer of the Pennsylvania railroad;
Mr.. Bradley of the Columbia Sand Dredg-

NO INTENTION OF WRONGDOING

Charles Fernald "Failed to Appre.

NO INTENTION OF WR0NGD0ING

Following the resignation of Charles
Fernald, assistant engineer of highways
of the District, demanded by the Com
missioners yesterday afternoon as result
of an investigation of charges to the effect
that he had accepted money from two
contractors engaged in District work. the
Commissioners today conferred regarding
the continuation of the investigation.
Commissioner Morrow also conversed with
several prominent contractors who are in
one way or another interested in the
charges.
by p. ]. Brennan of the Brennan Con-
struction Company. He is also alleged to
have said that the officials of the engineer
department have shown favoritism in
awarding contracts for street work. The
allegation, according to Engineer Com
MtssioAer( Morrow, who has been conduct
ing the investigation, is absolutely
groundlSs Sss.
According to a statement today by Com
missioner Morrow. r'ernald received $1,000
from Mr.. Wainwright OF the Drake &
Stratton company more than two years
ago. and a short time later accepted $500
from Brennan. Fernald admitted receiv-
ing the sums mentioned, and it was be-
care OF that his resignation was asked.
No Wrong Intended.
Commissioner Morrow said. with en-
phasis, that he does not believe Mr.. Fer
maid dishonest, and regrets that it was
necessary to ask for his resignation. He
added he is of the opinion that Fernald
Intended no evil or wrong in accepting
the money. but simply failed to appreciate
the error of accepting it.
Maj. Morrow remarked today that the
charges made by Mr.. Brennan about Ia
voritsm being shown one contractor over
another In the awarding of certain street
work are absolutely without Foundation.
He declared he has personally attended
to the various contracts that Brennan has
referred to, and for that reason IL able to
brand all criticism and insinuations as
baseless.

near a pully which was being used to
hoist some iron plated to the roof of a
building at the Simplex Railway Appli-
lance company's plant
Stanley knew that the rope was weak
and he did not want TO work near the
pully but his employer carelessly, neg
Ilfgently, etc. ordered him to do so. The
plate fell, bounded over onto the per-
son of Stanley Bieganowski and injured
him severely. Wherefore he wants the
sum of $4,000.
The Jack Didn't Work.

& S. railroad was approaching the
crossing at the Ridge road where his
boy was playing on the track. William
Gluth. jr. was a bright boy and he had
an opportunity, so the complaints says
The would have moved out of the way
But the engineer carelessly and neg
liigently failed to slack the speed of his
Iengine and the child was killed
Wherefore the father wants the rail
road company to pay him $4,000.
