CLOSING NAVY YARDS
MAY BRING ON 4 FIGHT
Plan of Secretary Meyer to
Close Southern Navy Yards
win Be Contested
tBy Associated Press

WASHINGTON. Sept. pa movement
is said to be afoot to block the plan Of
Secretary Meyer to practically close
some of the southern navy yards and
stations in the interest of economy. At
present appropriations for the actual
maintenance of the navy yards and
docks are made in a lump sum and it
is left to the secretary of the nstvy TO
disburse this among the different yards
in his discretion. The appropriation for
the current fiscal year under the head
of maintenance was si,2eO,Ooo.
Opponents of the secretary's plans are
expected to urge that instead OF max
ing this lump appropriation congress
shall itself specify the exact amount OF
money to be expended vat each yard and
station for maintenance.
This would deprive the secretary of
any discretionary power.
However. aside from the mere main
tenance of yards, large sums of money
are spent therein for work upon naval
vessels undergoing repairs and it Is com
tended that If congress once embarks
upon this policy of debating expendi-
lures in navy yards 1t may have TO go
further and prescribe just what ships
are to be repaired at each yard +.
Secretary Meyer has gotten together a
lot of data during his European trip
to support his contention that the small
er yards should be abandoned and there
is prospect of a lively contest on this
point at the next session of congress.

cHILDERS WILL Be GIVEN
HEARING MONDAY NEXT
Counsel Agrees for Postpone

: LEESBURG, Ga, Sept. 21.-Another
hitch in the legal proceedings connected
with the case OF Mrs. Mart s. Childers
who died as the result of taking poi
son placed in a bottle of medicine pre-
vented today the preliminary hearing.
of the husband, the second man ar
rested on the charge of poisoning the
woman. BY agreement OF counsel ror
Childers and r. S. Kennedy, thA4Dther
accused man, Justice ]. Nj. Hines was
to preside at the Chf1ders hearing to-
day. but at the last minute he notified
the lawyers that he was not qualified
and declined to appear
At the hour set for the hearing
Judge II. L. Long was prevailed on to
open court and j. B. Hudson, leading
counsel for Childers announced that by
an agreement of counsel made in the
presence of Sheriff Smith, the hearing
was adjourned over to Monday, Sep
TENDER 25. 1t also was agreed that
the subpenas issued by Judge Long
would be effective next Monday and
that he should issue whatever other
subpenas counsel should call for.
With Judge Long. Justice Hines and
Justice Avera disqualified to hear the
Childers preliminary, it remains for the
attorneys to agree upon some justice
before next Monday.
Aside from the advancement of the
theory that Mrs. Childers met her death
by suicide there have been no new de-
velopments in the case that have reach
ed the sensational point.
In Lee county 1t is the one topic OF
conversation. At Smithville, the home
of the Childers and the Kennedy's, sem
timent is about equally divided.
Friends of both men proclaim their in
nocence. The theory of suicide also is
counted by many as absurd, her
friends declaring that she always was
of a happy disposition and without any
trouble In her married life.
Childers and Kennedy, the husband
and alleged former sweetheart OF the
dead woman both accused of admins
tering the poison. are occupying cells
in the same tier in the little brick jail
here. Both decline to discuss the
charges against them other than to
proclaim their innocence.

.LUR|D LETTERS CAUSE
OF W0MAN's DEATH
Mrs. Gertrude Ross, Bitten by
Dog, Dies Because People
Wrote of Hydrophobia

CHICAGO. Sept. N.-Worry over scores
of letters telling of the dangers of hy-
drophobia is said to be the indirect cause
of the death Of Mrs. Gertrude Ross,
breeder of many famous dogs, at a hos
pital yesterday afternoon, after she had
been bitten by one of her blooded pets
Mrs. Ross was attacked several weeks
ago by vicious dog which bit her sew
eral times. She laughed at the efforts
of friends. to make her take the Pasteur
treatment and declared that there was
no danger of rabies
Following the publication Of this fact
in the newspapers she began to receive
letters from friends and some from per-
sons unknown to her, begging her to
submit to the treatment and detailing
the horrors OF the malady. The con-
tents of the lurid letters Seemed to cause
a change in her health and she gradual
ly grew, weaker and more nervous until
pneumonia ensued. When she was told
that death was imminent Mrs moss ex-
pressed a fast wish that her three favor
lite pets be chloroformed. She leaves no
relatives and feared they would not re-
ceive proper care Mrs. Ross is said to
have won more prizes with her dogs than
any other woman dog fancier.

INHERITS A FORTUNE
BECAUSE NAME IS JANE
Chicago Girl Receives $4,000
From Stranger for Amaz-
ina Reason

CHICAGO, Sept. H.-Because her name
is Jane and for no other reason, a
Chicago girl has received a fortune of
$50 900 in railroad bonds at the dying re-
quest of a man whom she never knew
and had seen only once.
Miss Jane Relyea is the fortunate girl.
She fell heir to the entire estate Of
her fathers cousin. Jacques Henri
Relyea. of New York, who gave as the
only reason for his bequest that she bore
the same name that had been his wife's.
Relyea had been a miser all his life
and when his wife died and left him
childless he began to live an almost
hermitlike existence.
"And I wasn't even named after his
wife" Miss Relyea said yesterday. Il
thought of him as a poor man who
lived a retired life in New York city
owing to his eccentric manners"

GANADA's POPULATION
WELL UNDER 100000
Completion of D0minion's Fifth
Census Shows Some Sur
prising figures q

OTTAWA, ontorlo. Sept 2l-The COM
pIetion, of Canadas Hfrh census, begun
in June. will show total population
considera bly, Under 5000, GEO. according to
an official calculation. The official figures
will be made public in a-'few days, as
soon as the returns are in from the
northwest districts.
Toronto and Montreal lhave made the
largest gains in population. the former
the greatest percentage OF gain and the
latter the, largest, gain IN numbers.
The maritime provinces of New Bruins
wick and Nova Scotia have not grown
as have Quebec and the other provinces,
and Prince Edward island has stood
still.
In Ontario the population of the rural
districts has fallen on on account of
a large migration to the west. In Nipis-
sing. East and West, Afgoma, Rainy
River and Thunder Bay the population
has doubled All the western provinces
show great gains. s
} The new census will raise the basis of
representation in 1.-THE house of commons
from 5000 to $4,000. The membership af-
ter redistribution will probably be raised
from POI to 2H members.
