PENSACOLA MAY Be
MADE MARINE BASE
RumOred That Florida City
Will Supplant Philadel-
phia as Naval Base

Philadelphia, July 2.-(special)-Th
Philadelphia navy yard, as a marine base,
may soon give way to Pensacola, Fla,
according to rumors current in govern
ment circles.
1t was rumored that all the marines
and marine officers now at the local
yard will be transferred TO the new bar
racks under course of construction at
Pensacola, within few months. If such
a move were made 1t would mean a
loss of over 100000 year to this city.
Indications of new order of affairs
are the bids asked by the navy depart
ment for the transportation of 1000 ma
rines to the new site.
Thomas Reilly, who has the contract
for the erection of the new marine bar
racks at the yard here, has been offered
ss6, 600 by the government to stop work.
1t is said. Work has been stopped on
the barracks at the Boston and Brook
lyn yards.
The Pensacola yard was closed during
the Taft administration, which decided to
make Philadelphia the marine base of the
Atlantic coast When the Wilson admin
istration went into office the Florida yard
was reopened The prospective change
is said to be due to southern democrats,
who did not wish to see the Pensacola
yard closed.
The yard at Pensacola is situated on
large sand dune, and is seven miles from
the town proper, which has population
of 1000.
sIf the government carries out what it
is starting to do" said an official at
the Philadelphia navy yard today, then
good-by to the United States marine
corps.
Pensacola as a marine base in the
estimation of the officers and men of the
marine crops is a huge joke he went
on 1.-The men who comprise the marine
corps come mostly from northern cities
and they are not used to the climate and
heat of the Florida station Enlistments
would be reduced and in time would mean
the extinction of the corps.
IF the marines are sent TO the Florida
station they will stay there until the first
pay day. then they will be gone.
'.Nowhere on the Atlantic coast is a
more suitable yard than right here in
Philadelphia. This station is central. If
the navy department does move the ma
rines to Pensacola 1t will be giving the
service a black eye"

securely and the flow of the threatening
water was stopped.
When the accident occurred the battle
ship was without steam. only one boiler
being in use for minor purposes while
the engines were being overhauled AS
result, tugs had to be called upon to tow
the Louisiana to position well inshore.
So close was the battleship to the beach
! that 1t was reported that she had been
run upon the sand.
Through the efforts of diver new
bonnet was placed on the auxiliary over-
board discharge valve, through which
the water had rushed. the engines were

"They took all the securities of the

used them as securities for an issue of

to finance the deal for the Northern

alleged enormous profit"
Later Lamar averred the principals

own absorption and use. Lamar testi-
fled he used the name of Representa-

Union Pacific.
On another occasion Lamar testified
he called up Paul D. Cravath of counsel
for the Union Pacific, suggesting Lau-
terback would be a valuable advisor.
On still another occasion he talked over
the telephone to Lewis Cass Ladyard
using Representative Palmer's, name
with Evarts. using Riordan's name. In
both conversations he spoke about
Lauterback and his services.
Senator Nelson insisted that Lamar
testify more explicitly whether he said
in these conversations that Lauter-
bach had influence In Washington with
officials, senators or representatives.
I'm inclined to believe that in my
conversation with Ledyard l went very
far in that direction on the affirmative
side.'' Lamar said.

name instead of sticking to Riordan?'
demanded Senator Nelson.

showed for the first time the consolidated
statement of all these companies.
"On the debit side appeared the amount
OF securities issued, and debt assumed
against the acquisition of those properties.
On the asset side there appeared a credit
equal to the entry value of all the ply
sical psoperties so acquired and then
again there appeared a duplication of
that.
The same amount was entered over
again as representing the value of the
securities which in turn represented the
value of the physical properties acquired
The sum of $S2o00,000 or it's equivalent
was entered twice on the asset side. Up
to that time, however. the transaction
was only open to the objection and criti.
cism that 1t represented a piece of clumsy
bookkeeping. for again on tho debit side,
there appeared an entry corresponding

forgery, as a result of the clause And
