NAVY YARD BOARD
SUBMITS ITS REPORT
Findings Favorable to Atlantic
Coast Stations.
FOR INCREASED FACILITIES
Recommends Charleston as "Emer-
gency Docking and Ship
Repair Station"

Washington, Sept. 3.-Improve-
ments and increased facilities for
virtually every navy yard along the
Atlantic coast were recommended in
reports submitted to Secretary Dan
iels today by a special board, which
has just completed an investigation
OF conditions at all the plants. Spe-
cial attention was given to the sub
ject of a great naval station on the
Gulf OF Mexico, necessary on account
of the Panama canal. Pensacola,
Fla, was recommended as the best
site for such an establishment.
Separate report was made on the
navy yards at New York, Philadel-
phia, Portsmouth, Norfolk, Charles
ton, Port Royal, Key West, Pensa-
cola and New Orleans.
THINK THESE YARDS DOOMED.
While urging extensions and i'm
provements at the New York and
Boston yards, the board expressed
the opinion that the increasing CON
gestion of commerce at these ports
soon would compel the department
to give up it's stations there.
Government facilities for construc-
ton now are inadequate, the board
reported. Any delay in building up
navy ydTuS OH Ine expectation JnaJ
private plants can be depended on to
meet war demands of the navy, the
report said, "impairs naval efficiency,
and is a menace to our first line of
national defence"
THE country's future naval
needs" it added, undoubtedly will
demand that we possess two stations
on the Atlantic coast and one on the
Pacific, with facilities for undertak-
ing the work of building a battleship
at short notice."
CHARLESTON AND PORT ROYAL.
In regard to the Charleston navy
yard the board expressed the opinion
that the developments there "should
be for the expressed purpose of pre-
pairing that navy yard for use in time
of emergency as a docking and shin
repair station" To develop 1t as de-
sired, uniform quantity of work"
must be maintained, the board finds,
and to get this work II recommend
ed that limited amount of new con
struction be assigned to that yard
that there be an increase in the
number OF vessels assigned to
q Charleston as home port, and that
the yard be given a manufacture OF
certain standard articles for ship re-
! pair work and equipage.
Construction of new guard house
and sly new double sets of married
non-commissioned and petty officers
quarters at Port Royal, S. c., deten-
tion barracks is recommended by the
board.

SOUTHERN DOCTORS
DISCUSS PELLAGRA
Nearly 200 Students of the Disease
Are Present at Spartanburg
Meeting.

Spartanburg Sept 3.-Pellagra,
its agencies of dissemination and
possible preventatives, formed the
subject of a conference of Southern
physicians here TO-DAY. Nearly 200
students of the disease, coming from
practically every Southern state,
were present. DR.. Louis w. Sambon,
head of the School of Tropical Medi-
cine, London, was the principal
speaker.
DR. Sambon. who is chief exponent
of the insect theory of dissemination,
declared that pellagra is rapidly be-
coming a subject of worldwide con-
Germ. Fifty-three cases, he said, had
been discovered in the British Isles.
Hundreds of others, he added. prob
ably existed. but had been undenti-
fed because of the general ignorance
of physicians in regard to the dis
ease.
Although extensive research work
had convinced him, Or. Sambon S,,id,
that pellagra is transmitted by an in
sect, he had reached no definite con-
clusion to the identity of the trans
mitting agent. He suggested that
the Buffalo gnat seemed a likely sus-
pect. drawing his inference from the
fact that the disease spreads most
readily along flowing streams
DR. SambOn urged thorough and
immediate investigation of the whole
pellagra problem, whose magnitude,
he said, has not been generally recog-
niZed. He declared that many cases
OF insanity, in his opfnfon have had
their origin in pellagra infection
Today's conference was held under
the auspices of the Thompson-Mc-
Fadden pellagra commission of the
New York ost-graduate School OF
Medicine and the local medical So
ciety.

Out Six of His wife's Dresses Into
Shreds.

Atlanta Special to Columbia Rec
ord, Sept. 3.-For wreaking ven
geance on his wife's fine Sunday
clothes, and cutting six of her best
dresses to shreds and tatters, George
Hart was arrested and carried before
the city court this morning.
Hart pleaded that he would have
been amply justified in using the
knife on his wife's hide instead OF
merely confining his operations to
her clothes, but the Judge thought
otherwise after hearing the evidence,
and the man was fined $50.
'I suppose ought TO be satisfied -
said the wife, "but I think IL would
be fairer to let me have the $50 to
buy new clothes"
