Naval Stores Industry.

There will be experiments looking

hybrid of the sweet orange and the
japanese hardy orange. While the
citrange is not of commercial impor-
lance, it's tree is ornamental and de-
sirable for garden uses. It's fruit is
well adapted for making an acid
drink and also for marmalades, and
therefore will find favor with the

special attention to establishing

Crisis Expected in
Fight Which Grew Out

By AsS0cidtsd Press

Tulsa, Okla, April ia crisis is
expected In the fight between the State
authorities and the Tulsa Jockey Club
at the Tulsa race course this after
noon. With the course under martial
law by order of Governor Cruce, and
in face of threats by Adjutant General
Canton that he will shoot horses IL
racing is attempted, officials of the
club to-day made preparations to con-
tinue racing as If nothing had hap
pened.
At the race track every entrance
was guarded by soldiers and none save
horsemen were permitted to enter the
grounds and these were all searched
for firearms
1t is stated that attorneys for the
Jockey Club are seeking Supreme
Court Intervention at Oklahoma City
to block Governor Cruces program of
enforcing the State anti-gambling
laws. The governor declared at Okla
homa City last night that while there
was no law against racing horses, the
only way he could prohibit gambling
on the races prescribed by law was to
prevent the racing, which he intended
to do.

A new story of attempted 'macing"

taken before the House unless tha
crisis should not clear up finally, and
Mr.. Wilson should find 1t necessary to
lay the situation before Congress.
In the Senate and House generally
there was mingled feeling of gratil>
fication and relief.
Some officials, because of their long
familiarity with the evasiveness OF
Huerta, were not inclined to be too
sanguine over the dispatches from
Charge O'Shaughn Privately they
said they would be convinced when the
salute actually was fired. Others who
knew of the great pressure brought
upon Huerta, did not question that
the dictator had seen the wisdom OF
yielding.
Force Would Be Used
Those officials who know the lang.
uage of the communication Charge
O'Shaughnessy has been presenting
were sure Huerta had been convinced
that If he did not yield the American
government would compel him to do
so by force.
The last vestige of any suspicion he
may have had that the United States
was blutfing was said to have been re-
moved by messages from his repre-
sentatives in Washington telling him
that President Wilson was thoroughly
aroused and meant to force the issue
to the end.
1t became known that General HUI
erta had been led to believe that his
own statement of apology last Satur-
day was ample redress; but when
President Wilson was apprised of the
situation he was not satisfied and de-
manded salute.
International Custom
Senator Shively said that 1t was the
international custom to return such u
salute as is demanded from the Huerta
government.
"If Huerta yields" said Senator
Shively. and should fire the salute to
the flag, that salute of course would
call for a return salute from the
American fleet. Such return salute
could i'll no way be considered as a
recognition of the Huerta regime,
The Huerta government is a de facto

by the United States to salute the

Officials pointed out that last week

with the condition that the Dolphin
return the salute was rejected. 1t
was explained that the proposal to
salute the Dolphin was merely in the
form of an inquiry from an under

NEWFANCLED IDEAS
AFTER A TRY-OUT
Men Of Big Foundry Said to Be
Pleased With New Day
Wage Order
SCHEME IS BITTERLY OPPOSED
Mechanics Objected to Experts
Standing Over Them With
Stop Watch

Efficiency tactics undertaken six
months ago at the Harrisburg Foun-
dry and Machine Works have been
abandoned and S. d. Osborne, OF
Philadelphia, who has had charge OF
the work as an efficiency expert, has
given up the demonstration.
The efficiency idea was advanced a
few years ago and taken up by a num-
Der of industries. with varying results.
According to the theory, the average
workman does not produce all the
work of which he Is capable, but loses
much time in useless movements while
doing a job, and also does not care to
speed up to the limit of his capacity.
The plan also includes readjustment
of general producing plans in most
shops so as to conserve the time re-
ouired to transfer operations from one
department to another or from one
workman to another. In some plants
whole processes have been revised
with q marked increase In the output
and a saving in cost by the con-
servation of time.
AS applied to the individual the
efficiency tactics aim to standardize his
productive capacity. and this Is done
by watching his job, noting how long
it takes and how short time 1t could
take. The efficiency engineer watches
his man, notes his movements and
then does some figuring. by which a
certain length of time Is assigned as
the proper one for the completion of
the work. The efficiency engineer
strives to eliminate all useless motions
in completing the task.
How Plan Works Out
For instance If man Is feeding q
machine, and after reaching for his
draws it several inches toward
him before putting 1t in the machine,
the efficiency expert will point out that
he has lost so many minutes per hour
by not eliminating the wasted motion
of drawing the object toward him in

home port was Newark, y. j.
The schooner became unmanageabIe
early last night. She first struck the
beach near Seabright, N. j. Then the
wind caught her and swept her down
the coast, where she appeared to
break in two. Her cargo of lumber
kept her afioat, though great mass
of 1t was swept away.
Life savers rugged up searchlights

toward the vessel. Because of the
breakers ii was impossible to launch a
boat. A great crowd stood on the
beach watching the spectacle. Several
lines fell athwart the schooner, but

drowned and with the exception of
the lone survivor made no attempt to
seize them.
