COMMITTEE WOULD
CLOSE NAVY YARDS
House Naval Body Approves
Recommendation of Sec
retary Meyer.

In pursuance of the recommendations
of the Secretary of the Navy. the
House Committee OF Naval Affairs has
agreed to the abandonment of five
naval stations which Secretary Meyer
considered valueess to the service.
These stations. together with the
amounts it has cost yearly to operate
them, are as follows:
San Juan. S95,O0O; Sasgett Harbor,
New York, 1886; New London, Conn,
$4,000: Port Royal. 5. C, $4,000; Guile
bra Island off Porto Rico. 10000.
The naval appropriation bill will con-
tain authority for the discrimination
of these naval stations. and will also
authorize the Government to sell the
land on which they are located. The
equipment IS to be transferred to other
stations which are to remain in use.
Secretary Meyer recently completed
d swing around the circle OF the various
navy yards and stations, and when he
came TO make up his annual estimates
he asked that the House should per-
nit him TO abandon these naval bases
whose operations meant unnecessary
expense.

Boys Know Nothing of
Hold-up; Kin Charged
With Theft.

Immediately after the release of
Harry w. Harbin, of 11O9 n street
southeast, and Herman Haggemaker. Of
7O9 o street southeast, who were held
at No. police station on suspicion of
having some knowledge Of a hold-up
and robbery at the New Varnum Hotel

two men on suspicion of alleged com
plictty in another robbery.
They are Eugene Harbin, sixteen years
old; William Harbin, thirteen, and
Charles Haggenmaker, sixteen, who
are held at the House of Detention for
investigation

LOrimer Case Used
AS Senate Buffer

The Lorimer case in the Senate has
reached the point where 1t threatens to
become the buffer that will stand IN
the way of important legislation.
1t was thought for a while to be Ger
tain that vote would be had this ses
sion on the question of ousting the IIli-
nois Senator. Now, there IS much un-
certainty about it and Senators who are
anxious to have a vote are seriously
questioning whether one will be
reached and declare ii unlikely.
Not only is il possible that the Lori
mer case will be thrown over until next
session, but it will be used as far as
possible by the Senate leaders to shH
off a vote on the resolution for direct
election of Senators.
Only six weeks of the session remain
after this week and in that six weeks
there is not going to be much time to
do anything.
