PLANS FOR BATTLESHIPS
Are Reviewed by Admiral capps in
His Annual Report.

Washington, ID. C.-The annual re-
port of Admiral w. l.. Capps, chief
contractor of the navy, is very largely
devoted to a review of the navy over
the plans of the battleships North Da-
kota and Delaware. Admiral Capps
disposes of various phases Of criti-
cisms that have been made Of the
plans by declaring that the recommen-
dations for congress made by the
Newport conference related only to
minor details over which there nat
urally would be differences of opinion
and improvement from time to time.
Admiral Capps refers to the lack Of
adequate working facilities at many Of
the navy yards for ships under repair,
and says this condition continues to
embarrass the bureau and prevent the
prompt and economical performance
of work

ments rendered.

Richmond. Va.-The supreme court
of appeals affirmed the decision OF the

ELECTION FRAUDS In CHICAGO.
Outrageous Repeating and Ballot Box
Stuffing Charged by Grand Jury.

Chicago, Ill. = The ballots OF men
long residents of other cities, the bal
lots of temporary absentees, the bal
lots of the insane and even of the
dead were cast in the primary elec-
tion of last August in Chicago. RE-
peaters' voted in platoons, with the
connivance of willingly unseeing
judges and clerks of election, and
fraud, rampant to an extent hitherto
unknown in a city never famous for
the purity of its political atmosphere,
rendered the resultant party nomina.
tions morally worthless.
These and other startling allega-
tions are made in the report Of the
special grand jury, which, after sew
eral weeks of delving into charges
growing out of Chicago's first prima'
lies and returning sixty-one indict
ments against two-score or more oi
politicians and others. adjourned.
