Phila. Navy Yard May
Be Equipped to Build
Two Dreadnaughts
Special to The Telegraph

Washington, D. c.. Nov. 19.-Secre-
tary Daniels and his advisers in the
Navy Department have began a care
full study of the shortest time in which
1T would be possible to equip the Phil
adelphia Navy Yard with necessary
shipping ways, tools and instruments
for the construction of one or both
of the two new battleships for which
bids were opened yesterday, with the
Philadelphia yard as the lowest bid
der.
The length of the time necessary
to get this yard in condition to handle
the construction of these dread
naughts, which, according to a state
ment by Secretary Daniels, are to be
of $4,000 tons, and 400 tons larger
than the largest now building, is the
only consideration standing in the
way of an award of the contract for
one or both of these vessels to the
Philadelphia yard An estimate as
10 the time required, working under
full speed, is to be asked from the
yard commandant.

($1.00O.
II Is estimated that 300,0 900 or near

Intestinal trouble causes the majority
of these deaths, which might be pre-
vented by proper care, especially in
regard to feeding In most cases the
mother cannot be blamed, any more
than can the citizen who is called out
to fight for his country and has never
learned the art of warfare. This book
by DIR. Lowry, which has been recon-

physicians, namely the Journal of the
American Medical Association, tells
everything that is essential to the
health and happiness of the mother

justice to her child, ought to give

NEW OUTLET SOUGHT FOR
YALE FIELD PRODUCTION

ale, Okla, Jan. 3.-For week
or ten days there has been an in
Vestlgation going on in the oil fields
about Yale which seem to presage
another pipe line out of the field
The parties making the investigation
are secretive, but they have not Gov
cred the fact that their mission is
relative to securing oil contracts and
engineering data on the cost of a pine
line. 1t is also evident from the
direction covered that the line. if
Duilt will go southwest.
1t might be surmised from the
TACT that the line does not go by
the way OF Paden that the line is
not of the Prairie Oil company which
would make ii seem probable that
the Pierce people were contemplating
The construction of line with Ok
lahoma City as terminus. which
would be the logical distributing and
refining point for the country TO the
west
1t is known that the Magnolia com
pany has surveyed several lines from
the lale-Cushing field to Oklahoma
city and to Healdton. and it may be
that the Pierce people are trying TO
beat the Magnolia in establishing
themselves in Oklahoma City. An
other point which might be consid-
cred significant is that the opera
tors in the field are not running over
one another to make new contracts

Bill to Go to Conference.

Although the senate amended the
house bill in several particulars, the
literacy test was unaltered save for
an additional exemption to Belgian
subjects which was adopted today af-
ter prolonged delberation. House
leaders probably will ask for a SDnfer.
e2ce on senate amendments Monday.
| but administration leaders were con-
! lident senate amendments would be
! accepted, and the bill sent to the pres
ident by the middle of the next week.
Among the senate amendments that
house leaders have said, probably
would be accepted, is one to exclude
from the United States all persons of
the African race, or of negro blood.
Another strengthens the phraseology
of the prohibition of polygamists.
Closing hours of the debate today
were devoted to an amendment by
Senator Lodge to exempt Belgian farm
ers from the literacy test and from
the provisions which prohibit Amer-
cans from soliciting and inducing i'm
migration. Already several American
organizations are endeavoring to in
duce Belgian refugees to settle in this
country. The amendment as finally
adopted by a vote of "a to 90 follows: |
