High Cost of Warships

Washington, January 3.-The high cost
OF battleships was explained today to the
subcommittee of the House naval af-
fairs committee preparing the naval ap-
preparation bill by Chief Constructor
Richard Morgan Watt of the navy depart
ment. The chief constructor told the COM
mttee that estimates for battleshps to
be authorized in this years bill must be
based on a cost of about $15,000000 per
battieshp. few years ago the DEPART
mcnt procured new ships authorized for
the increase of the navy for $100O0,0O0.
Last years bill appropriated on basis of
about S12,500,0O0 per ship.
Constructor Watt explained to the COM
mittee the requirements of the vessels to
be authorized and asserted that the in
crease in tonnage of big ships and the
increase in armor and armament caused
the advanced price.
The committee has not yet reached in
IFS deliberations the troublesome ques-
tion of whether the bill will include one,
two or three battleshlps or none. a cam-
peign already has been begun among
members of the House to reach an agree
ment to include a single ship in the bill.
This is not meeting with favor among the
two battleship men, and if they decline to
compromise another fight will be begun to
eliminate the increase of the navy from
the bill entirely.

Turks GiUen Until Monday To
Accede To Demands OF Allies
What Is Practically an Ulti-
matum Presented to Dele
gates-Rechad's Newest
Proposal Unacceptable

London. January 3.--Although the word
.'utimatum' was not pronounced what
practically was an ultimatum was pre-
sented to Turkey at todays sitting OF
the peace conference on behalf of the
Balkan allies Lazar Miyuskovitch, head
ff eiae aFon3aaegrln dg85s1s ion, .sslae-. lare
sided, told Rechad pasha after the Turks
had submitted a proposal which was
considered unacceptable, that either by
Monday Turkey must find a way to
renounce to the Balkan allies her rights
ever the island of Crete, cede the is
lands in the Aegean sea and present a
ratification of the frontier of European
Turkey wGtch would include Adrianople
in the territory of the allies or the ALI rs
would consider that further negotiations
for peace were useless.
Immediately after the minutes of the
last sitting had been approved M. Miyus-
koVitch requested Rechad to present 10
the delegates the promised Turkish pro-
posals. Rechad, who had been working
hard over a cipher telegram until a few
minutes before the session was called to
order seemed rather depressed. On ris-

MEMBERSOF OSACE
TRIBAL COUNCIL ARE
0USTED BY FISHER
Secretary Charges They
Were Dominated by Uncle
Sam Oil CO.-Evidence
of Conspiracy

Washington, January 3.--Seven mem
were removed from office today by
Secretary of tho Interior Fisher, who
alleges in a statement that the council
was Influenced by the Uncle Sam Oil
company and, three individual appli-
cants who had tried to secure the lease
of 100000 acres of oil and gas land
comprising the entire Unbiased portion
of the Usage reservation. The Secre-
tary ordered a new council elected the
latter part of this month.
The department OF justice has been
informed by the Secretary Of the con-
duct of certain persons in connection
with obtaining these leases from the
Indian council and asked to take such
action as the facts warrant.
The Indian council, three of whose
members were ordered out some time
ago, refused to obey Secretary Fishers
order in regard to filling the vacancies
and this was another cause which led
to today's action by the Secretary.
The recent bid for $1,000 acres of
Usage oil land, said to have been the
most favorable bid ever made for lease
OF Indian lands. was turned down by
the tribal council, and the powerful in
huence of the previous applicants is al
legged by the Secretary to have been
responsible. Notwithstanding the fact

BRITAIN DELIVERS
REDS REMAINS TO
HIS COUNTRYMEN
Now Rests Beneath Stars
and Stripes in New York
Cathedral-Funeral
Today


New York, January 3.-Great Britain
today delivered to his countrymen the
body of Whitelaw Reid, editor, states
man and American ambassador, who died
in London. The British cruiser Natal
brought the body home, and tonight it
lies under the stars and, stripes in the
Cathedral of st. John the Divine.
President Taft, dignitaries from the
army and navy and representatives OF
foreign powers will attend the funeral
there tomorrow.
As the Natal moved up the North river
at the end of her mission, the American
flag foated at halfmast above her. The
only decoration of the artillery caisson
which bore the ambassadors body to the
cathedral was a floral anchor presented
by the Natals officers.
The Natal had been met on Nantucket
by squadron of two United States bat
tleships and four destroyers and the
funeral fleet lay on Sandy Hook last
night A thick fog blanketed the bay
and it was II o'clock before the pro-
cession got under way. The fog lifted
and the sky cleared for a few minutes
when they came to anchor of Ninety
eighth street, but the clouds soon shut
down again and a gale swept up the
river that made landing Of the casket a
difficult task.
