800 MAY LOSE Jobs
At LOCAL NAVY YARD
Defeat of Bill for Two Superdread-
noughts Would Cause Deep Cut
in Force, Is Statement.

Eight hundred or more men, one-third
of the force now employed at the Wash
ington navy yard, would be forced out
of work by July 1 should Congress fail
to pass the pending bill providing for
two superdreadnoughts. If Congress
should provide for only one big battle
ship about half that number of mechanics
would lose their places. Should there
be delay in the enactment of this lesisla-
ton furloughs would have to be given
to large part of the working force
pending the assembly of material for
guns to be made for the armament of
the warships.
, The prospective dismissal of 100 men.
about April 1, to put the navy yard on
normal working basis. was estimated
with the expectation of making guns for
two dreadnoughts. Extensive reductions
in the force would be made necessary
should there be failure of legislation, or
the provision be cut to one battleship.
Assembling of material for gun-making
cannot be accomplished without some
time being allowed to the foundries and
contractors to make castings and other
parts
Smith Makes Appeal.
Representative Frank O. Smith, in the
interest of the mechanics who will be
dismissed April /. called at the Navy
Department recently. In the absence of
Secretary Daniels. .he discussed the sit
uation with Lieut. Commander Jones, aid
to the Secretary of the Navy. Command
er Jones expressed his regret that the
dismissals were made necessary, and
told of the prospects of further reduc-
tions in the event of failure or delay of
legislation.

PRESIDENT IS TOLD
Of D. c. AFFAIRS
Commissioners Spend an Hour
in Conference Today at
White House.
BIG PLANS FOR CAPITAL
MAY BE UNDER WAY
Project Board Is Said to Have Un-
der Consideration Not Submitted
to Mr.. Wilson.

District Commissioners Newman. Sid
dons and Harding conferred for an hour
today with President Wilson, the first
conference they have had with him for
many months body, and in that time
there probably was the inception Of mo-
mentous things for the District in the
future.
The only information of an official
nature to be had was brief statement
from Commissioner Newman
Mr.. Newman Statement.
Our conference with the President
was merely continuation Of the con-
ferences We had with him last sum-
mer and fall, when we, spent an hour
with him on each occasion explaining
conditions in the District of Columbia,
in order that he might. first, have COM
piete Information concerning the af-
fairs of the District. and, second that
ne might counsel with and advise us
on the way in which We administer the
functions of our Offices
The District of Columbia is big sub
Ject and We were unable to cover it
IN the two previous meetings. Owing 10
the pressure of important matters of ma
tional character on the President, we did
not seek to- renew our discussion of
Distiict dHaITS WIN MIN until today.
We talked on number of subjects con-
cerning the District, but do not feel at
liberty at this time to say what they
were.
District Affairs Surveyed.
The Commissioners, it is known, gave
the President complete survey Of condi-
tions in the District and an ANALYSIS of
affairs in Congress as they bear upon the
capital The President has candidly ad-
mitted on number of occasions that he
IS too unfamiliar with District matters
to presume to offer advice to Congress as
to any of the particular plans that have
been suggested for changing the relations
between the District and the government.
and there is no likelihood that he will
find time enough at this session to make
to Congress, by speech
or otherwise. copcerning the District
There have been unofficial reports that
the Commissioners would lay before the
President hugely important plan for
the relations between the Dis
.rict and the United States, and that
hey sought to secure his backing for
his plan, which has been under consid-
grafton by the board Of Commissioners
'or long time. Whether the proposed
plan was developed sufficiently to be
placed before him in concrete form or
they were tentative, reports have
not stated, but it was positively learned
that no plan was submitted to Mr.
Wilson.

HOME ENTIRELY
WIPED OUT BY FIRE

The home of L. Swift, just out
side the city limits on Baker street.
WAS entirely destroyed by fire Friday
evening. A rocking chair and a
trunk were all that was saved from
the flames.
The fire is supposed to have been
caused by the explosion of a lamp,
or at least was caused by lamp.
The family had gone to a neighbors
and left a lamp burning. They did
not know anything OF the fire I'M
til someone shouted fire, and they
discovered hat it was their home
that was burning. An alarm was turn
ed in at about 7:45 O'Clock, the east
side fire company responded, but ow.
ing to the fact that houes vas
out side the water yension limits
and also outside the city limits with
no way of obtaining water, nothing
could be done The burning building
illuminated the landscape for a great
distance.
The house was story and half
upright with a wing and the building
and contents were partially insured.
Mr.. Swift is a teamster in the
employ of Mrs. E. c. Ketchum.

the largest associations in the state.
The cost will be one dollar per COW
