Sec'y Daniels Points Out That
Bill Carries Half Million Less
Than Last Year's-Economies
And Competition Cause

Washington, June 3e-President
Wilson'S signature to the naval appro-

struction of two super Dreadnoughts
and IA auxiliary war vessels and the
building of third huge battleship
with proceeds from the sale of the
Idaho and Mississippi. Secretary Dan

carried half a million dollars less than

trenchments had been accomplished,
through economies and insistence up
on competition"
The building program of 1913 consist
ed of only one super Dreadnnught, six
destroyers, four submarines, one trans
port and one supply ship.
The navy is a sea going institu-
ton and strict adherence to the prin-
eiple that expenditures ashore should
be subordinated to expenditures afleat
has given us these great advantages
in new building said Secretary Dan
iels. Yet while the feet is greatly
strengthened, generous provision is
made for expenditures ashore that are
urgently required for efficiency and

C. A. c. WILL HAVE AN
ARTILLERY CAMP RATHER
THAN MILITARY CAMP

Portland, Me, June 30--It has been
Reserve of Maine will have an artillery
camp rather than an infantry camp dur
Iiams July 16 to %. The matter has been
before the war department and the de-
partment of the East, U. s. A., for some
time, and the decision has been expected
before this 1t is understood that the de-
partment of the East favored an infantry
camp, while the war department was
considered favorable to keeping the coast
artillery forces of the different states In
Its regular work. The final decision
rested with Secretary of War Garrison,
and this has just been learned by Adju-
tant General Greenlaw and the decision
transmitted to Col. w. o. Peterson. COM
manding the Coast Artillery Reserve of
Maine
While nothing definite is stated to this
effect it is interpreted as indicating the
attitude of the war department as re-
CARDS the work of the Coast Artillery Re-
serve of the various states. 1t has been
stated that the comparatively small num-
Der of men in this branch of the militia
service throughout the coast states and
the fact that their instruction and expe-
rience in manning the big guns is such
as to make it inadvisable to temporarily
take them from this work and put them
into infantry work. This is thought to
be the attitude of the war department
and IL so to mean that In event of Ma
tional Guard troops being mustered in
service with the regular army. in event
of a call to arms, the Coast Artillery Re-
serve will not be drawn upon for infan-
try service. The study and training of
the men throughout the year is in coast
artillery work. and taking up infantry
training necessitates giving up the other
work. which seems an unnecessary inter-
ruption.

AFFIRMS DECISION
OF JUDGE SESSIONS
IN THE kILLIFER CASE.
Upholds Fact That Injunction
Sought by Chicago Fed
eral League Was
Refused
KILLER Is OVERLOOKED

Cincinnati, June 30.-The United
States circuit court of appeals here
today affirmed the decision of United
States District Judge Sessions in the
case of Catcher William H. Killifer.
Judge Sessions had refused TO grant
an injunction asked for by the Chi
cago. Federal League Club, restraining
Killifer from playing with the Phila-
delphia National League Club and the
case had been appealed.
Kiilifer. who was under reservation
to the Philadelphia Nationals, signed
a Federal League contract and Jump
ed to that league. Later he reconsid-
cred his action and went back to the
Philadelphia National League team
The Federals then sought an injunc-
ton restraining him from playing
with the Philadelphia club, but in a.
decision rendered at Grand Rapids,
Mich, on April 10 last, United States
Judge Sessions denied the injunction
because, in his opinion, the Federals
should come into court with clean
hands" The Federais then asked that
an appeal be allowed and Judge SEES
sions granted this request.

BIG SEIZURE OF
BEER MADE AT THE
PORTLAND STATION
Largest in More Than Year Is
Made by Deputies at the
Terminal Co. Sheds

Portland, Me-, June 30-The biggest
seizure In more than a year and a
second one simultaneously two-thirds
as large was the feature of the work
of the deputy sheriffs this morning
Deputy Sheriff Doughty captured 15C
kegs of beer. two barrels of bottled
beer and one of whisky in the Port
land Terminal Co.'S. freight sheds this
morning at an early hour and Deputy
Sheriff Hermann seized 100 kegs and
assorted pieces at Union station about
the same time.
July last year Deputy Sheriff
Campbell seized 106 kegs which was
the record of the year until the two
big ones this morning. Practically all
the beer is consigned to Italians and
a tremendous amount of clerical work
in the sheriff's Office is required TIC
make out libeis and index the stuff
This supply is of an unusual amount
and doubtless included the Fourth OF
July supply.
Luckily a spilling season in the
storage room of the officials in the
county building provided room for
storing this immense seizure, but il
will tax the capacity of the place at
that. 1t was shipped by express COM
panies and the delay of 10 days must
be accepted by those who have Or
dered the stuff before they can get
delivery. 1t being necessary first to
convince the officers that the goods
are not for Illegal sale.
Half a barrel of WHISKY was seized
at 81 Franklin street last evening.

last to leave. They are awaiting def
mite instructions from Washington.
The mediators explained tonight that
mediation had not adjourned, but that
perhaps the last formal meeting had
been held, Communication hereafter
will be carried on by telegraph from
the respective homes of the mediaters
and delegates.
Ambassador Dagama pointed to the
fact that the mediation of a boundary
dispute between Ecuador and Peru
in which the United States and Bra
gil had rendered their good Offices in
1910, was still in progress.
Believe Mediation Over
The belief is general that so far as
Niagara Falls, Ont, is concerned, me-
diation is over. The three mediators
tomorrow will give a farewell lunch
con to the newspaper correspondents
and the colony will begin to pack
trunks.
The mediators consider that their
chief work has been done. They have
drawn up series of protocols setting
forth the conditions under which the
DHIIta GIdleS VIII ftCOSlllZt lc W
government. When a satisfactory gov
eminent is established, American
forces will be withdrawn and both S
national and internal problems solved
simultaneously.
1t is not at all unlikely that when
the Constitutionalists and Huerta del
egates confer it will be some place
other than Niagara Falls, to which
the Constitutionalists object because
they do not care to have it appear In
Mexico that they are submitting theiI
internal affairs to the mediators.
Whether the American delegates
will be present when the informal con-
ferences are called is also a matter
of uncertainty. News that Carranza
had telegraphed the invitation for in
formal conferences to all of his gen.
erals was regerded as encouraging and
there were some who thought the
question of sending delegates might
be settled in another fortnight.
