SAYS j. s. BUILDS
TOO FEW SHIPS
Secretary of the Navy Urges
Building Fewer War
ships by Contract.

Washington. D. c., Dec. 1.-THE
United States builds too many Warshlps
by contract and not enough in the gov
eminent yards, secretary Of the navy
Daniels testified today before the
house naval committee. He testified
that emergency battleships could be
built at various places, and that Whlle
80 months now was normally required
for ship building company to turn
out a battIeship, it might be possible
TO cut down the time to two years.
He said there were facilities at the
Newport News, Cramps, New York ana
Fore River shipbuilding companies.
Secretary Daniels contended that an
navy yards should be equipped to build
warships. New York and Philadelphia
yards. he said, should be able to build
battleships: Norfolk and Portsmouth
ought to be ,able to build a certain
character Of ships at the lowest price
Need Pacific Coast Yards.
I'VE ought to have a place to build
a battleship out on the Pacific coast,
he said. He said he would use the
smaller Yards to build submarines, and
reiterated his view that the govern
ment ought TO build submarines.
Prepare for Any Attack.
1--WE should not consider war with
any country or build against any coun-
try" the secretary continued we
should prepare for our defence from
whatever quarter an attack may come;
a defence against any enemy. We must
prepare to defend ourselves in the very
best way we can. Many people believe
that our navy ought to be greater than
any or all of the other nations. If any
country comes and attacks we must
make the greatest defence we can. If
you go into war you go into 1t to win"
Urging the dominant necessity for
battIeships, Mr. Daniels revealed his
view Of a battle between the navies OF
Germany and the allies.
"SupDose," he said. that England
had no dreadnoughts. The German
fleet would come out and control the
seas. Any day that you pick up tne
papers you may see a report OF battle
royal between all these battleshlps,
compared to which these others are
mere skirmishes.'
Must Rely on Battleships.
Mr.. Daniels reiterated that the Euro
pean war so far had demonstrated the
wisdom of the naval program outlined
for this session Of congress.
''Battleships," he said, ARE the only
ships we can rely on to command the
seas"
1--WE have today" said secretary
Daniels, more and larger, speedier,
more improved battleships than ever
before. with a greater tonnage than
evePbefOre. We have more guns, much
larger and better, with greater range
structive power. Undoubtedly we have
more complete auxiliary craft, subma-
rines, torpedo boats and more subma-
rines: much better coast defence, more
men than ever before. and the men are
far more efficient, better educated and
more completely equipped than in all
the history of the country

William Muffleson, 80 years of
age, known as Bus" was found
dead IN the office of wagon yard

passing, he reentered the office to find

plOyed at the wagon yard.

MAY PREVENT
HANGING BEL"
Phoenix People Think Gov
ernor Has Scheme to Save
Condemned Men.

Phoenix, Ariz., Dec. 11.-That COVER
nor George Hunt has evolved a scheme
to prevent the widely advertised
hanging bee" scheduled to be staged
at the state penitentiary December 10,
is a belief that amounts to conviction
in the minds of close observers of the
situation.
Saturday morning will tell the tale.
The governor has as much as promised
the newspaper men that at that time
he will make public some statement
regarding the fate of the six men who
must die on the following Saturday
unless they receive executive clemency
at his hands
On Saturday the governor will also
issue his proclamation of the result of
the November election. When the proc
lamation of result is issued the law
will be in effect.
If the governor intends to commute
the sentences of the six men at Flor
ence, the chances are that he will do
so while his authority to do so is still
unquestioned. But several things are
possible. One is that he will ignore
that law, claiming 1t unconstitutional,
and will issue combinations
Communications Would BE HOnOred.
Whether warden r. B. Sims would
have the right to honor a Communication
issued by the governor without the
recommendation of the parole board
created by the law that has just been
upheld, is a nice legal point That
Sims, who is wholly in accord with the
governors policy, would honor such
combinations is certain. Many here
believe that this method will be taken
to bring about a test of the constitu-
tiOnality of the law. Sims will honor
the communications and let who will
bring action against him to force him
to carry out the death sentences i'm
posed. But in the meantime December
10 will pass by. Various court delays
can be brought about and time will
drag on.
The governor. once litigation has
been started, will hardly stop short
of the supreme court of the United
States. And another anti capital pun
ishment bill can be initiated and sub
mitted to the voters at the 1916 election.
The governor is confident that such
a measure can be carried another time
Anyway, Hunt will not be governor
after the first of 1917. A course such
as has been outlined above undoubt-
eddy would throw the executions over
into the next administration. From the
Hunt standpoint this is highly desir-
able.
May Take Short Cut.
There are others who believe that
the governor will take one short cut
to a solution, defying the registered
will of the people, and commute to life
Imprisonment the sentences Of the six
condemned men before the parole board
law is made effective by his proclama-
ton.
Everything with reference to the
subject, however, is conjecture The
governor has not given out any intima-
ton of his probable course except to his
closest advisers, and they are telling
practically nothing.
