Discovered, Is Report of
Secretary Daniels.
HIS THIRD CONFERENCE
WITH HOUSE COMMITTEE
Recommends Appropriation of $780,.
600 for Establishing Plant
for Projectiles.

Official announcement that Alaska
coal has at last been found satisfac-
tory for the navy was made to the
House naval affairs committee today
by Secretary Daniels. The tests were
completed ten days ago with the coal
from the Matanuska fields, and the re-
suits have proved practically perfect,
the Secretary declared in making the
results public to the committee.
This declaration and a recommended
ton that 100000 be appropriated to
build government plant for manu-
facture OF projectiles with a view to
ultimately saving millions Of dollars
to the government featured today's
hearing.
Secretary Daniels told the committee
that while all the battleships in re-
serve were not supplied with shells,
every dreadnaught and every other
battleship in the active line was SO
equipped, but did not. however. have an
adequate reserve supply.
THAT" said the Secretary, us no

COL. COCKTAILS TELLS
NEED0F DESTROyERS
Repeats His Request in Confidential
Report Made to the War
Department.

Col. Goethals, governor of the Pam
ANA Canal Zone, today reiterated his
request that two torpedo boat Destroy
ers be sent to Canal Zone waters TO
prevent violation of neutrality through
the misuse of wireless and the taking
on of supplies by belligerent vessels.
Because of the confidential nature of
Col. Goethals' dispatch, Secretary Car
rison declined to make it public. He
issued this statement:
MI. Garrison's Statement.
THE substance of the dispatch is
that in Col. Cocktails judgment the
misuse of radio communications within
canal waters and the prevention of the
misuse of these waters as base of
supplies require the presence of swift
moving ships of the variety mentioned
"Since the questions involved require
the consideration of the State Depart
ment and the Navy Department as we'll
as my own, l have taken the matter up
with the other departments, and as
soon as the requirements are fully as
certained proper action will be taken
to meet them"
Secretary Garrison declined to dis
cuss the situation in the Canal Zone or
to indicate which of the belliegrents
was violating the neutrality of the
United States.

Discusses Variety of Subjects.

Mr.. Daniels. on his third day of dis
cussion of naval affairs with the COM
mittee handling the naval appropria-
ton bill. covered variety of subjects.
He declared the navy was making tor
pedoes at Newport for $1,000 each
more than $1,000 less than the price at
which private concerns supply them
asked the committee to authorize more
than six new destroyers. in view of
the prices at which Saturdays bids
were accepted; told that board was
making tests of a new shell promising
great results for attacking submarines,
and urged an appropriation of 100000
for a government projectile plant.
The private manufacturers charge
all they can get: the question Of cost
doesn't enter into it," he said.
An English company making a su-
perior shell, he said, had offered the
United States it's process for $4,000
and the navy has taken an option.
A special board, the Secretary said. is
considering q reform of the plucking
system by which the hump may be
removed for promotions of younger
officers by putting certain senior officers
into u reserve instead of retiring them
on pay with no duties.
Representative Gardner continued his
movement for investigation of the ma
tionai defenses by writing letters to
the chairman of the naval and military
committees urging examination of army
and navy officers.

Ship Purchase Bill Discussed.

Senator Simmons of North Carolina,
a member of the Senate committee on
commerce. conferred with the Presi-
dent about the ship purchase bill. Mr.
Simmons said the committee has been
called to meet tomorrow to take up the
bill, and report it to the Senate. He
believed the bill would be reported be-
fore the Christmas holidays. The bill
before both Senate and House COM
mittees is identical and the desire of
the democratic leaders is to try to put
the same bills through each body,
thereby rendering conference easy.
Senator Simmons asked the President
to name Samuel L. Rodgers of North
Carolina to membership on the inter-
state trade commission. Mr.. Rodgers
formerly was commissioner of internal
revenue in the Cleveland administra-
ton, and is banker, business man and
farmer.
Candidates for this commission were
plentiful today. Senator Kern and Rep
resentative Rausch of Indiana saw the
President in behalf of W. b. Westlake.
a Marion editor. Senator Thompson of
Kansas called to advocate Prof. Henry
J. Waters of Manhattan, Kan, for the
commission. Prof. Waters is president
of the Kansas Agricultural College, and
was considered by the President for
Secretary of Agriculture.
Representatives Alexander. Rucker
and Shackelford of Missouri called to-
day to submit the name of Edwin A.
Krauthauf of Kansas City. kraut-
hauf is a business man of prominence
in the middle west.

D. N. Hood Greets President.

Daniel n. Hood of Ipswich, Mass.
eighty-one years old. shook hands with
President Wilson today, and was de-
lighted He has shaken hands with
every President since and including
President Polk. He was a schoolboy in
Salem when Mr.. Polk made a campaign
speech there and distinctly remembers
some of the incidents of the occasion.
Senator Weeks of Massachusetts to-
day invited the President to attend the
fiftieth anniversary of the polytechnic
college at Worcester. Mass. The Presi-
dent delivered the address at the TWEEN
ty-ffth anniversary of the institution,
and is inclined to accept the invitation
to deliver the one in June. The Presi-
dents long trips to the formal opening
of the Panama canal and the Panama
Pacific exposition at San Francisco will,
he fears, take SO much of his time he
will not be able to make many other
trips during the summer. even If Con-
with some time at his disposal.

The President will not be ready to

ton to the men whose names have been

tional reputation who have been asked
to accept membership have been com
;elled to decline, not wishing to give
