Washington, Dec. 1O.-secretary
Daniels told the house naval commit
tee today that while the American
navy should be steadily strengthened
in an orderly way each year, the
sentiment of the American pepole was
against making the United States into
a military nation in competition with
the heavily armed powers Of Europe.
The secretary's declarations today,
close upon the remarkable testimony
of Rear Admiral Fletcher, commander
of the Atlantic fleet, who yesterday
told the committee there was only
one navy in the world-England's-
to which the United States was not
equal, came as a climax to two days
discussion of the preparedness Of the
nation for defense.
Secretary Daniels declared he de-
cried demands for great increases in
the saFraH Of battleships, and subma-
rines and declared the United States
already was a strong nation. He out
lined this years plan for two dread
naughts, six toredo boat destroyers,
eight or more submarines, including
one seagoing type and the others for
coast defense, one gunboat and one
oiler.

where there are large number Of

been made which seem to indicate
that birds are disturbed in very curl

Efforts of Sixty Per-

FRED ERWIN IS HIGH MAN

There were sixty performers and not
few rooters out last night for the
annual special night of the Edison
Club in The Star headpin tournament
on the Iroquois alleys. Chick Kinney
was in charge and the affair was run
off in good sayle. The class of pinning
was high.
Fred Erwin came through with a
tally of 107, which earned for him
high score and also got for him one
of the silver watchfobs which The
Star awards to those who have counts
between 100 and 10. Other silver fob
winners were Otto Weber, 105; Arthur
Grudelly, 1903; Edward Stevens, 1872,
and Oscar Lyon, 101. There were
several who came mighty close to the
century mark. Both Henderson and
Doyle had twelve hits in a row, but
neither was able to earn a fob. Hen
derson rolled 80 and Doyle 81. Par
ker, in spite of misses in the sixth
and seventh frames, was there for a
count of "a. Hardy and Courtney also

TINKER TAKES RAP
AT CUBS OWNER
Accuses Murphy of "Tamper-
ing After Brooklyn Deal
Was Announced.
SENT JOE A CABLEGRAM

If Joe Tinker will produce a cable
gram which he says he received from
c. w. Murphy. who was in Europe
when he learned that the shortstop
had been sold to Brooklyn by Cincin-
natl for $4,000, the National League
men will bring charge of tamper-
ing against the Cubs owner. When
Tinker was in New York the other
day he said:
Murphy cabled me to have moth
ing to do with the Brooklyn Club
until I had heard from him. It was
clear case of tampering with me
and serious offence against organ
lied baseball
The National League men, 1t is
said, will ask Tinker to produce the
cablegram If he has it in his pos
session. If not he will be asked to
get copy from the cable company.
There is some doubt, however, as to
Tinker's real attitude toward Muir
ply. Organized baseball men told
story yesterday to the effect that
several weeks ago Tinker who was
ready to desert the Feds, named Muir
ply as the man with whom to con-
duct the negotiations, whereupon the
matter was dropped.
