WORK SUSPENDED
ON DREADNOUGHT
Cost of New York Worries
Navy Officials.

Secretary of the Navy Meyer has or
dered the discontinuance Of work at the
New York Navy Yard preliminary 10 the
construction Of the new battle ship New
York. This action was taken following
the receipt of an opinion from Attorney
General Wickersham that the department
should not proceed with the construction
of the war vessel unless Secretary Meyer
was satisfied that the battle ship could
be built within the appropriation OF
s60O0,o00 provided by Congress.
Mr.. Meyer believes that on account of
legislation affecting the eight-hour law at
the last session of Congress it will be
impossible TO construct the battle ship
for this amount of money. He win take
up the question with members of Con-
gress shortly. AS a general proposition,
Mr.. Meyer is opposed to the construc-
ton OF war vessels in government navy
yards, because of the increased cost The
battle ship Florida, now building al the
New York Navy Yard, will cost about
Sc 600.
Private Work Cheaper.
Inc wyoming, Whlch is about 800 tons
larger than the Florida. will be built at
a private shipyand for about $500. coo.
The eight-hour provision has embar-
raised the department considerably
When bids for the construction of a
q 00o-ton battle ship were opened at the
Navy Department on December l only
one firm-the Newport News Shipbuilding
and Dry Dock Company. Of Newport
News, Va.-submitted bids The other
shipbuilding concerns which usually com
pete for battle ship contracts failed 10
present tenders because of the uncer-
tainty as to the exact application of The
provisions Of the eight-hour Jaw.
Several months ago Attorney General
Wiekersham rendered an opinion that the
eight-hour law applied only TO the work
done on the actual situs'' of the yard.
The shipbuilding firms. it is understood,
were unable 10 obtain satisfactory in
formation as 10 the exact meaning of
the term '-situs,' as used by Mr. Wick
ersham's opinion.
rhe bids for the construction of a bat
tie ship submitted by the Newport News
Company were about sl.00o.O00 higher
than the most advantageous bids re-
ceived for constructing a similar vessel
last year. This is believed to be due to
the requirements of the eight-hour law.

Masked Carnival.

Through the efforts of Messrs Park
w. T. 10y, Grayson R. Shaffer and DR..
E. B. Seftor, arrangements were made
and masked carnival held in this place
last Friday evening. The fact was ad-
vertised by handbills, and prizes offered
for the most original, the most comical
and the most artistic, costumes.
Apparently, everybody fell in with the
idea of having good time, and costum-
ed, and all met at the appointed hour on
the public square.
Most of the costumes were of the Kris
kingle variety; yet the bridal couple of
dusky hue, the groom in full dress and
the bride also full of dress; the colored
couple of meager means; the Dutchman,
the Irishman, the Dago, the Bowery
Girl, etc., were all represented.
The group representing the DAM
family were little late arriving, but
their arrival created sensation and they
were given hearty welcome by the
large crowd which had assembled. Mr..
Dam, Mrs. Dam, and the five Dam chill
dren and the dog-in fact the whole fam
lily, were the centre of attraction.
Under direction of Mr.. w. T. Weller,
all those costumed formed in line and
marched over the streets and returned
to the square where they were viewed
by the judges who awarded the prizes.
Mr.. Orbrey Wisong received bunch
of bananas for being most comically CO.'S
tuned; Mr.. Frank Weller, large cake
for the most original costume and Mas
tiers Donald Seton and Willie Freeze, a
very pretty picture, for being most ar
tistically costumed. These two lads rep
resented the Dago, with handorgan and
monkey.
The carnival was success, surprising
the expectations of the promoters, and
we feel confident that about January l,
1911, carnival, similar to this, but on
much larger scale, will be held.

guished men in Washington, includ-
ing members of Congress were present
when preliminary organization was
effected. A national propaganda Is
proposed and women as we'll as men
will be enlisted. The plan OF pro-
cedure will be that when any article
of food is forced too high in price,
the members will be notified secretly
that on certain day all will discon-
tinue buying that article. 1t is be-
lieved that this would soon bring the
trusts to terms. If, for instance,
several millions OF people should dis
continue for a week the use OF beef,
there is no doubt that it would have
very serious effect upon the mark
ct. The promoters OF the league be-
lieve that no trust could long survive
such drastic tactics.
DR.. Scharf expects this league to
spread rapidly over the country and
that it will be able to force the food
trusts to put fair price on their pro-
ducts. A few years ago there was no
country in the world where food was
50 plentiful and so cheap as in the
United States. Two months ago the
papers were full of reports of the most
bountiful harvests of corn, wheat,
barley, oats and vegetables that the
country has ever known, but for some
reason these bounties of nature never
reach the table until the purse of the
family has been well nigh exhausted
in supplying them.

substance of the bill of complaint filed

, A. Manahan.
Said Bill of Complaint alleges that John
Shank, late of Frederick County, deceas-

ty, State of Maryland, the other one-half
interest being vested in fee in Margaret

lowing children, to-wit: Mollie Bishop, a

TAFT RECEIVES 5,575 PERSONS.

Washington, Jan. l.-fresldent
and Mrs. Taft held their first New
Years levee at the White House to-
day. Although Mrs. Taft has not
yet regained her full strength, and
seemed rather pale in gown of white
silk, she carried out her original in
tention of remaining in the receiving
line until all of the members of the
Cabinet circle, the foreign ambassa-
doris, ministers and members of their
households and the justices of the
Supreme Court had paid their re-
spects. At the end Of 20 minutes
Mrs. Taft retired. The Vice Presi-
dent and all of the members of the
Cabinet, with the exception OF Secrc-
tary of State Knox and Secretary OF
War Dickinson, remained in the re-
ceiving party until the last of the
general public had passed.
The reception began promptly at
II a. m. and ended at 1.55 p. m. =,
when the White House doors We're
closed. In the two hours and 55
minutes that he held his position at
the portal of the famed Blue Room,
President Taft shook hands with ex-
actly 1878 persons. This number
fell considerably short of the figures
during the last years of the Roosevelt
administration.
The day overhead was well nigh
ideal, but melting snow made condi-
tons underfoot anything but desir-
able. The line of citizens began to
form, however, at 1920 a. M, al
though they were not scheduled to
enter the White House grounds until
II O'Clock.
President Taft began and ended
the reception with a smile. For his
personal friends among the diplomats
the government officials and mem
bers of the Army and Navy contin-
gents, Mr.. Taft had hearty words of
greeting. Occasionally a citizen had
a word to say to the President, and
the latter listened attcntively until
his aids hurried the visitor along to
make room for the crowds in the rear.
The President stood the ordeal splen-
didly. The average time of passing
was 40 people to the minute. AL
though he gave each strong clasp,
the President declared he felt no
fatigue. The standing in one posi-
ton so long, however, made him de-
clare that he felt almost as though he
would have to learn to walk all over
again.
Although the usual precautions
were taken the reception passed off
incident, A tourist or two
were relieved temporarily of their
cameras at the entrance of the Blue
Room.
The diplomatic display this year
rivalled any in the past. Practically
every member of the corps was in the
city and each ambassador and minis
ter was attended by brilliantly uni
formed staff of aids and secretaries.
The new Chinese minister and his
staff, in heavily embroidered robes
md hats, attracted the usual amount
Of attention. American.
