OFFERS NAVAL ARMOR
AT LARGE REDUCTION
New York Business Man Says Saw
ing of 20 Per Cent Can Be
Effected.

An offer to supply all the armor the
Navy Department needs for the three
battleships about to be constructed at
a reduction of 20 per cent from the
price which it is now paying for armor.
has been received by the department
from a New York business man. He
proposed to supply armor manufac-
tured under a British patent.
The Navy Department previously had
been informed by the inventor of this
process that he could not make armor
plate of the large dimensions required
in the departments specifications. So
the would be bidder was informed that
the department could not delay the
award of contract for the three dread
noughts pending the result of his ex-
periments, but would be glad to test a
sample plate of his armor, and If 1t
proves satisfactory to consider its use
i'll the next bidding.
Saving Made on Armor.
The Navy Department has made a
saving in the purchase of armor for
the battleships California, Mississippi
and Idaho. about to be constructed, by
inducing the two armor companies to
accept contracts on the basis of the
supply of the whole of the armor at
the lowest prices they had proposed
| for a limited quantity in each class.
Consequently contracts have been
awarded to the Midvale Steel Company
for 1875 tons OF class Al armor at
s435 per ton. 401 tons of Az armor at
1886, 29O tons of armor at 1856 and
60 tons of c armor at 1915.
The Bethlehem Steel Company was
same prices for 14,74s tons Of Al
armor. 500 tons of Az. $50 tons of b
| and 1926 tons of c armor.
A statement issued by the department
shows that it has reduced the price of
Al armor from S454 per ton. which
was the cost of the armor on the Penn
| sylvania, authorized by the last admin
istration. to s4s5 per ton for the armor
to be used on the California. The to-
tai savings on the three new ships on
| this account would be $757.542 when
compared with the cost of the armor
of the Pennsylvania.
Hope to Detect Flaws.
Remarkable success has attended the
| long time in progress at the Naval
Academy, having for their object the
detection of concealed flaws in masses
of steel and other metals used in ship
construction and engines. BY photo
photographic observations 1t is be-
lieved that it will be possible with
certainty to detect any dangerous
flaws and internal cracks in the great
| steel shafts and other parts of the
engines, upon which the safety and
| mobility of the ship depends.
If these experiments work out as
expected they will result in revolution
izing the methods of specifications to
be included in all contracts for naval
structure steel, and even more import
ant, they may present a certain means
of preventing the acceptance of the
defective steel rails which have caused
terrible railroad disasters.

HUNTERS Of THE CAPITAL
GET READY FOR SEASON
Guns of Gameseekers Will Start to
Boom Next
Month.
Officers in Nearby States Are Active
in Preventing Violations
Of Law.

/ Ammunition enough to kill all the
birds within radius of many miles of
this city. it is stated, has been sold by
local dealers in anticipation of the open
ing of the hunting season next month.
Many shotguns also have been sold.
One Washington sportsman, who is
said to have violated the cunning law on
the Potomac, was prosecuted in a nearby
county and fined 800 and costs, ac-
cording to a report to the Department
of Agriculture by Inspector. B. C. speen-
burgh. who is connected with the bu-
reau that has charge of prosecutions I'M
der the federal game laws.
The individual who was fined, the re-
port states. was Theodore Sevenhuysen.
and in addition to the fine his motor
boat was confscated. 1t was charged
that he shot ducks from power boat,
the law prohibiting shooting from such
craft. Shooting on the river. it is said,
is permitted only from boats that are
propelled with oars or paddles.

Officers Are Active.

County sheriffs, constables and game
wardens in Maryland and Virginia are
displaying more than an ordinary
amount of activity this season to pre-
vent and punish violations of the game
laws. In Virginia the state law pro-
vides for the opening of the cunning
season November l, but 1t also provides
that the season may be shortened by
the board of supervisors of any county.
J. w. Elswick, game warden of
Loudoun and Fairfax counties, Va, has
issued statement calling attention to
the changes made in the cunning sea-
son in those counties. The boards of
supervisors have shortened the season
by making November Is the opening
day and December 81 the closing day.
His note Of warning reads:
II hereby notify all who may be in
terested that the open season for hunt
ing game will begin November Is, 1914,
and end December 81, 1914.
TT is unlawful to kill, trap or handle
any game while snow is on the ground.
Any one seen with game in his posses
sion during the closed season can be
convicted as If he had been seen kill
ing it.
Il will be pleased to have any one
seeing violation of the game law
report the same to me, and l will take
immediate steps to prosecute the guilty
parties in Fairfax and Loudoun coun-
ties"

Changes Will Disappoint.

Changes in the Maryland law max
ing the opening of the game season
November 10, instead of November 1,
as heretofore. and the action of the
boards of supervisors of nearby coun-
| ties of Virginia fixing November Is
as the opening day will prove disap-
pointing to many Washington sports
men.
Many of the sportsmen favor the
change. During past years, it is said.
many opening seasons encountered
such warm weather that the sport was
tame and it was almost impossible to
bring game home.
The cunning problem is difficult
one to understand remarked one of
the older sportsmen to a Star reporter
his morning, and persons who are
anticipating cunning trips to nearby
states will do well to Investigate the
laws before they start.
Not only do the laws provide Sc
we're money penalties" he added. but
of the penalty, and confiscation of
shooting paraphernalia goes to help
make the penalty even more severe"
Gunners do not anticipate that If
caught vi plating the law they will be
able to do what several Southeast
Washington residents did in Prince
Georges county, Nd. several years ago.
They were invited to the county to
enjoy the sport, it is stated, and were
arrested and fined. A check for some
thing like 500 was given in payment
| of the fines, but it's payment was
stopped before it rea ched the hank

LOSE IN FIGHT To
ASSIST GROWERS
Cotton Relief Measure is De-
feated by Vote of 123 to 81.
Take Up Smlth-Lever Ware
house Bill.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 22.-The hope
OF the southern congressman and SEN
ators that they could get legislation
through congress specifically provid-
ing relief for the cotton growers was
brought 10 an end late Wednesday
" hen the house defeated the bill di-
recting the secretary of the treasury
t. deposit S25O,O00 ,00O in southern
banks to be loaned TO the cotton and
tobacco growers. The vote was 123
to 81.
The house then prepared to take up
the Smith-Lever warehouse bill and
certain amendments to the federal
reserve act. the effect of which will
be 10 extend some relief to the cot
ton growers. The warehouse bill
provides for the federal licensing of
cotton warehouses and improves the
negotiability of cotton warehouse
receipts. The most important of the
federal reserve act amendments pro-
vides that a bank may issue emer-
gency currency to the full extent of
its capital and surplus. Under the
existing law it is limited TO 80 per
cent
The cotton relief measure came up
in the form of an amendment to an
amendment in the federal reserve
act, il being necessary for the rules
committee TO bring out Speclal rule
to accomplish it, Early Wednesday
the house adopted the rule by a vote
of 12O TO 95 and debate began at once
on the cotton measure.
Minority Leader Mann Chairman
Glass of the banking and currency
committee, and others opposed the
plan. What the south needs is a
market for cotton" said Mann. 'If
a billion dollars were to be placed
i'm the banks of the south today
doubt whether money would be any
easier to borrow there tomorrow.
Men loan money with two objects in
view: one to secure the return of
the principle and one to secure the
return of the interest upon the
money And people in the south and
banks elsewhere will not loan money
upon cotton or anything else unless
they feel fairly secure that the
money will be returned to them; that
their security is good. Printing bank
notes will not add to their relief"

ENGLAND TOLD To
RELEASE STEAMER
United States Files Protest
Against Seizure of Standard
Oil VeSSeI-0emand Sent
Direct to London.

WASHINGTON. oct. %. The
United States Wednesday made per
emptory demand upon Great Britain
that she Immediately release the
American tank steamship John d.
Rockefeller. seized by a British war
ship and detained at Kirkwan. Orkney
islands. The Rockefeller was BOUND
from Philadelphia to Copenhagen
with a cargo of illuminating oil.
The protest followed the seizure of
two other American tank steamships
the Brindilla of New York and now
detained at Halifax and the Platura
off the coast of Scotland. The latter
ship was also bound to Copenhagen
and is detained at Sternoway in the
Lewis islands. The BrindiHa was
bound 10 neutral Mediterranean ports.
While the John ID. Rockefeller was
built at Newport News and had never
flown other than the American flag.
the Brindilla and Platura were both
transferred from the German flag TO
American registry since the opening
OF hOstilities.
The three ships are owned by the
Standard Oil Co, which had requested
the state department TO demand i'm
mediate release of all.
AS soon as the capture of the John
ID. Rockefeller was formally reported
to Acting Sec'y of State Lansing We'd
nesday he hastened to the white house
and conferred with the president.
Protest is Ordered.
The outcome was cabled instruc-
tiOns to Ambassador Page at London
TO protest TO Great Britain and to re-
quest the release of the vessel
This is the first clear demand by
the United States upon Great Britain
since the inception Of the war. 1t has
apparently created a situation to solve
which either the United States or
Great Britain must back down.
The state department officials agree
that the tank steamer is an American
vessel flying the American flag and
bound from one neutral port to an
other neutral port. There is, there
fore. no point involved as to the
declaration of London or the declara-
ton of any other authority except
that of the United States.
All the issues between Great Britain
and the United States before this have
been:
1-As to the use Of the United
States ports as bases for the enemy.
Whether or not a vessel was an
auxiliary armed German cruiser.
3-Whether vessels were given reg
istry under the rules of the so-called
declaration of London which the gov
ernment has not signed officially.
4-Whether the cargOes of certain
suspected vessels carried contraband
which Great Britain believed might
ultimately get into the German terri
tory.
