DANIELS AMAzES NAVY
Will Spend 100000 Building
Coal Barges in Yards.
fFrom The Tribune Bureau. ]

Washington, Jan. l7.-Secretary Daniels
has amazed the naval authorities and
may incur the condemnation of his own
party I'm Congress by authorizing a draft
on existing annual appropriations to the
extent of nearly $4,000 to be used in
the construction of twenty-five steel coal
barges. each having a displacement OF
800 tons and each estimated to cost about
$50 900. The cost is determined only by
the contracts hitherto awarded for this
type of craft. None Of these barges has
been built at navy yards. and the work
OF construction at those places is conse-
quently an experiment.
1t is Mr.. Daniels's idea that this work
can be done more cheaply at navy yards,
and it is his policy TO furnish as much
construction work as possible for all the
yards. The distribution of the work on
the twenty-five coal barges will give the
smaller yards two barges each and the
Norfolk, four each.
Mr.. Daniels entertains the view that
everything possible should be done TO de-
velop the facilities at the navy yards
This is reversal Of the policy which pre-
vailed during the administration of Sec
rotary Meyer, who seriously contemplated
having much of the repair work done
under contract instead of al navy yards.

ATLANTIC FLIGHT IN
TWENTY-FIVE HOURS
Orville Wright Says 1t Can Be
Done by Airship, and Harry
Atwood May Try.
TBy Telegraph to The Tribune.

Dayton, Ohio. Jan. f7.-Upon the chances
the flyer is willing TO take will depend the
date Of the first crossing of the Atlantic
Ocean in aeroplane, according to Orville
Wright. who Is just now figuring with
Harry ~ Atwood on such a fight.
Mr. Wright has said the chances of sue
cess attending such an effort were far
less visionary than they were a short
time ago He believes that the flight
could be made from Newfoundland in
twenty-five hours. The longest aeroplane
fight up 10 the present time was of about
eleven hours duration. The men are try
ing TO decide which would be the better
plan. 10 equip a machine with a tank
large enough TO carry fuel for an unin-
terrupted flight or n boat which would
hermit the aviator coming 10 the water TO
take additional fuel from passing liners
II Is felt that a gasolene tank, when filled,
would weigh a ton.
"Soner or later a successful passage Will
he made" predicts Mr. Wright. 81 hope
an American will be the first to cross the
ocean In en- aeroplane. yet would not be
surprised If some Frenchman. seated on
the very lightest kind OF machine, with
two sticks for a seat and no other weight
hrt gasolene tank. were successful in
making the first trip
"As for me. | want a good lifeboat
along" observed Atwood.

DENOUNCES GLASS
AS A FALSIFIER
Henry, of Texas, Also Insists Cur
rency Law Author Is Friend
of Wall Street.
from The Tribune Bureau


Washington, Jan. 1.-THE third chapter
in the verbal battle between Representa-
tive Henry, of Texas, and Representative
Glass. of Virginia. both Democrats. was
written tonight, when Mr. Henry issued
a caustic statement accusing the CO.
author OF tho currency law Of falsehood
and Of undue friendlness for Wall Street.
"Ah. Carter. you ought to be ashamed
to look the honest farmers OF your state
in the face" asserted Mr.. Henry in his
statement, which rectes that the original
Glass currency bill was framed without
any regard whatever for the agriculturists
and Disseminated against agricultural
paper.
Mr.. Henry says that the original Glass
bill provided that the banks, and not
the government. should issue the notes
under the new currency act, and that the
bill, before amendment, was a surrender
to Wall Street and was framed by a cur
rency expert connected with a Wall Street
publication.
The Texas member denounces as "un-
qualifedly false in every fibre" the Glass
charge that he Henry agreed to quit the
fight If Glass would permit the Texan to
get credit for a certain amendment 10 the
rediscount section. That Mr.. Glass
Showed the cloven foot" i'm the prepara-
ton of the rediscount section is charged
by Mr. Henry.
After making other specifications of Mr.
Glass's alleged shortcomings, Mr.. Henry
goes on:
'"The fact that he wrote forty-fve days
as the time of maturity shows he intended
to shut out the farmer and average citi-
zen from the benefits of the law. Forty
fve-day paper. What good would that
bring the farmers and the people OF the
South and West? How much paper of
that kind have we? How many farmers
make paper running for forty-five days?
All. Carter you ought TO be ashamed to
look the honest farmers of your state in
the face. Away with such insincerity and
rubbish. Ragsdale, Neeley, Wingo. Eagle
and many others Of your own committee
convict you. Cease whining against me
and admit your total overthrow In the
caucus on these points.
"You started out to make a bill for the
great bankers and exclude the farmers
and average citizens. You cannot poison
the mind of the President, Mr. Bryan and
the country against me, for when you
were for the great New York bankers I
was fighting the peoples battle against
you and those allies, and the country will
not challenge my fdelity to public duty
and the peoples cause upon the silly
vaporings of one who went into wild
Mysteries when / wished special COM

John A Bensel. State Engineer, admit

Yesterday that the Dix Highways Commits

about $4,000 of expenditures on con-

State Highway Superintendent On the
day mentioned many expenditures for
contracts were brought up for formal APP

ers in the Highways Department.
I'VE would approve them only when
they had received the previous approval
Of the men in active connection with them
in the field. They came TO us with the
approval of the Deputy Superintendent of
Highways. The board was in no position
10 know anything of the actual work, for
Il had nothing to do with the actual work
of the administration.
The law puts the power Of supervision
specifically in the hands OF the state Su-
perintendent of Highways. He was the
only member OF the commission who had
the time TO find out definitely what the
character of the work actually was. The
other members Of the board acted solely
in an advisory capacity. They had no
power of appointment or discharge as
regards the men actually in charge Of
road work. That was the function of the
state superintendent of Highways. We
knew nothing about the contracts or the
expenditures on them, beyond the reports
OF the superintendents subordinates."
Mr.. Bensel said he had not been in
formed by the District Attorney OF AL
bany County that he was wanted IN rela-
ton 10 the highways investigation, but
ne said he would respond as soon as he
was notified.

be "well worth their while" to give testi-
1nOny lnlInlcdl 10 MIS-. BODu.
The bitter fight that Senator Gore Is

interviewed by McMullen, was asked IL he
had ever had improper relations with
Mrs. Bond He parted several questions
and then mechanically raised his
right hand and said that, so far an he
knew, she was good woman.
Reference was again made to the al
legged election Of Mrs. Bond and man
from a Little Rock hotel during the Con-
federate reunion, in 1911. When Oscar
Crook, a negro porter at the hotel, was
called to the stand he was shown a

He was asked II he had been offered
any inducement TO testify in the case. lie
said that he had received no money. but
had been promised his railroad fare and
expenses.
Oscar c. Cook, a brother of the physi-
clan, who was the next witness, said that
so far as he knew Mrs. Bond was a Good
woman.
When he was asked il he hadn't testified
that Mrs. Bond had first class reputa-
