Panama, Dee. l5.--col. George w.
Goothals. governor of the canal zone,
was impellcd TO suggest to the gov
ernment at Washington that two swift
American torpedo boat destroyers be
stationed NJ the Panama canal one
at each end. by tho recent activity of
helllgerent warships and colliers in
the vicinity OF the lsthmian water
way.
The action of the Australian collier.
MalIlna. which left Balboa without
clearance papers, and the fact that
this and other colllers have shown a
disposition To disregard the canal
zone shipping laws actuated Colonel
Goethals 20 take decisive measure to
Disregard Navigation Laws.
Nearly all the colliers which have
gathered in canal waters, arrived
without health certificates and In sew
eral instances the ships sailed with
out clearance papers. II is presumed
that the steamers met and coaled the
Australian and English fleet, which
concentrated recently in the vicinity
of the Pearl islands. which lie sixty
miles southeast of Panama City.
The United states torpedo boat de-
stroyers requested by the governor are
expected 10 do patroi duty and to
promptly overhaul any belligerent
craft attempting to disregard the ca
nal regulations.
Alleged violations of the canal ship
ping laws have. it Is believed. been
the subject of complaint 10 Sir Claude
C Mallet, British minister TO Panama,
and also have resulted in causing or
ders to be given the Notifications to
prevent unneutraI golfers remaining
IN ports on the canal zone in disre-
gard Of the orders of the canal au-
thorities.
Refused to State Destination.
In the case Of the collier Mallina. 1t
Is stated that she arrived without
clearance papers or health certifi-
cate and with no coal or supplies. She
attempted to buy $4,000 worth Of sup
plies. consisting largely of articles in
tended for Christmas dinner for a
large force. She was refused the sup
plies and was ordered to depart be-
cause she refused TO state her desti-
nation. as required by the canal zone
laws. The collier protesilans IS point
ed to as similar case.
It Is stated that there has been
much wireless interference in canal
waters on the part of the eight col
liers which recently were In the Vi
cinity Of the canal and also by largo
warship fleets reported TO be within
twenty-five miles Of both ends OF the
canal.

AMERICAN NAVY
HAS FORMIDABLE
AIR CRAFT GUNS
Admiral Strauss Tells Commit
Tee That Depots for Stor-
age of Ample Ammunition
Are Necessary,


Washington. Dec. 13.--Tests dem
onstrating the effectiveness of the
American navy's anti-air craft gun
have been reported to the house naval
committee by Rear Admiral Strauss,
chief of the bureau Of ordnance. This
weapon, used years ago for other pnr-
poses. has been developed to bring
down hostile aeroplanes and dirigi-
bles.
1T will be competent to deal with
air craft" Admiral Strauss reported.
I'VE have tried il against kite ~
three thousand feet altitude. a suffi-
cient altitude to determine that ii IS
valuable for the purpose. OF eoufses
that is not the final altitude TO which
an air craft would operate, but we are
enabled to Judge from the success that
we had at that range, what we would
have at higher attitudes, The range
Of that gun in the air Is about seven
thousand feet II Is not quite as large
as the gun they use in England, but
Il is quite similar.
Not Only Air Craft Gun.
This is not our only anti-air craft
gun. We have a three-lnch gun fir
ing thirteen-pound proiectile that
will he used for the same purpose, but
in a different way. They are for vef-
teal fire from aboard small craft
A supplemental statement the adj
miral was asked to supply the com
mittee shows that the navy manu-
factured at Indian Head proving
ground, Maryland, s,352,3sS pounds
of powder, at q cost of thirty-eishi
and n fraction cents per pound. while
1t purchased 3.276,630 pounds at fifty
three cents pound during the past
fiscal year Ii also stated that the
navy can build fourteen-inch guns
at the Washington gun factory at
an estimated cost Of $96,000 each,
compared with 100000 paid for simi-
lar guns manufactured by contract
Admiral Strauss urged the necessity
for increased storage facilities for am
munition supplies, explaining plan
to concentrate the increase at Fort
Miffin, Philadelphia, for the east
coast. and the Puget Sound naval
magazine for the west coast.
"We must look for increased ac-
tivities out on the west coast" he saio,
aas the result of the opening OF the
Panama canal. and can be prepared 10
handle and store more ammunition
there than heretofore. Puget Sound
was selected instead OF the naval sta
ton at Pearl harhor, because Puget
Sound Is on the mainland and within
railroad communication of the sources
of supply"
