gone carefully over the subject, that
we can make armor much cheaper
than we now buy 1t and that from an
economic point of view alone the erec-
ton of a government plant Is amply
justified. BY manufacturing armor
plate In its own plant the govern
ment will be able to keep for its own
use any improvements in the manu-
facture or composition of its armor
that may be developed. The last
word has not been said in armor,
and past history shows that great
and design of armor plate have been
made. The greater part of these i'm
provements were suggested by actu-
al experience gained by naval Of
ficers- Under our present system of
obtaining our armor plate from priv
ate companies such improvements be-
come the property of all the world
and can be obtained by anybody who
cares to buy them. Even now the
improvements In armor and the de-
signs worked out by the navy have
been embodied in the warship of an

Public Welfare Committee
Asks the Support of Mayor

Members of the public welfare COM
mittee who are looking after the work
of child hygiene in this city called on
Mayor Haussling this afternoon and
filed a letter with him telling of the
work being carried on under their SUI
pervision. Incidentally they protested
against the attitude of DR.. Frank B.
Meeker, of the Board of Health, at
last Tuesdays joint conference of the
committee and the Board of Health.
At that conference DR.. Meeker de-
clared that the board could take over
the committees department of child
hygiene and carry 1t on much more
efficiently and at less expense. This
assertion the committee disagreed
with and they asked the mayor that
they might be allowed to continue
their work. The mayor promised
them that he would give the matter
the greatest consideration.
The committee also suggested legis-
lation to provide for an appropriation
for them in carrying on their work
and placing them on a similar basis
to the Free Dental Clinic. Such q
measure will probably be recommend
ed to one of the Essex members of the
House of Assembly.
In the delegation that conferred
with the mayor were Miss Emily S.
Hamblen, DIR, Laban Dennis, Edward
Blau, Jerome 7. Congleton and DR..
julius Levy.

to hasten more rapidly in construc-
ton will not give 1t their approval
1t has been recommended after
mature consideration, as q middle
course of wisdom.
Excessive Prices.
Regarding excessive prices the re-
port says:
THE time has come when the de-
partment should be freed from ex-
cessive prices charged by private
manufacturers OF armor plate, guns
and gun forgings, powder, torpedoes,
and other supplies and munitions
Most of those necessaries for the
navy are made by very few manu-
facturers, and the prices charged are
so much too high that earnestly rec
ommend that appropriations be made
for an armor-plate factory and an
increase In the gun factory, the
powder factory, and the torpedo
works. The ability to make part of
the powder used has effected some re-
duction, but the department is forced
to buy too large quantity from the
powder trust at an exorbitant price.
It has been demonstrated that the de-
partment can save money by making
its powder, guns, and torpedoes. 1t
Is not open to doubt that ii can save
larger sums when 1t can make it's
own armor plate and gun forgings.
1T desire to recommend the passage
at the earliest moment of a sufficient
appropriation to begin the construc-
ton OF government armor plant to
relieve a situation which, in my esti-
nation. is intolerable and at total
variance with the principle of econ
omy in spending government money
Secrets NOT Protected.
The secretary also points out that
the secrets of the navy are not pro-

gate, delivered the first of four SER
mons at st. Patrick's Cathedral yes
terday morning on Catholic Princi-
pies Abandoned at the Reformation.
His subject yesterday was "The
Papacy" and he said that the SUI
premacy of the Pope had been firm
ly upheld in England, in common
with the other countries Of the west
ern world, from the very earliest
times. He added that, despite what
professional controversalists might
say, 1t was the love affair of Henry
VIII which made England break
away from the Church OF Rome.
To prove that England had been
loyal to the Pope until the time OF
Henry VIII. Abbot Gasquet pointed
to a profession of loyalty to the spiri-
tual Jurisdiction of the Holy See. made
in 1417 in the Council of Conetance
by more than 100 English and Irish
bishops. A century before the DAYS
of Henry VIII, he said, the Arch

DESPERATE BA|TED
WITH GAS FUMES
Slayer of Six, Trapped in Mine,
Has Access to Dyna-
mite.

BINGHAM, Utah, Dec 1.-Smudges
were lighted early today in the Utah
Apex mine, where Ralph Lopez, des-
perado, Is making his last stand.
With all exits to the mine except
that of the Andy tunnel bratticed
and sealed with mud and with pois-
onous gases floating back into the
depths of the workings, 1t was ex-
pected that the fugitive would make
a break for liberty today.
A large amount of dynamite is
stored in the mine, and knowing
Lopez could easily blow out one of
the bulkheads the seven sheriffs early
today stationed a dozen deputies at
each of the fifteen tunnel mouths
with orders to shoot him on sight.
The 10000 inhabitants of this can
yon-walled mining town, deep in
drifts of snow, were waiting in tense
excitement for the denouement of the
man hunt that already has cost six
lives.
On November 81 Lopez killed a
Mexican miner, and later in the day
he killed the chief of police and two
deputies who pursued him. After a
chase through several counties he
back-tracked to Bingham and took
refuge in the Utah-Apex mine, where
he killed two more deputies last Sat
urday.
A more dramatic setting for the
ending of the career of Lopez could
hardly be found. The mine is To-
Gated near the top of a precipitious
wall of the canyon and from any of
its fifteen tunnel mouths one could
throw a stone that would descend
for nearly thousand feet before 1t
struck. Here and there a miner
cabin clings to the cliff and from one
of these widow sat watching today
for the avenging of her husbands
death.
