 PROFITS FROM NAVY PLANNED BY THE U. s.
Daniels Says New Defense Programme Will Be Car ried Out With Least
 Possible Expense

Raleigh. N. C., October 20-What the navy expects to do toward preventing private manufacturers from reaping ex- cessive profits on the expenditure of hun dreds of millions involved in the adminis- tration's national defense programme was outlined here today by Secretary Daniels in a speech at the North Carolina State Fair. Mr. Daniels said his annual re- port to Congress would recommend leg 'islation to enable the government to equip itself to build more naval craft. make it's own armor plate and greatly extend it's manufacture of munitions.
 'sThe government has invested many millions of dollars in navy yards said the secretary, "and unless this invest ment is utilized for new construction much of it is wasted. If the government is prepared to construct naval craft private shipbuilding companies desiring contracts must compete with government yards"
 Mir. Daniels said that the government paid 30 cents a pound to private manu- facturer few years ago TOT masfne powder but the navy now was. making it at a cost of about 25 cents pound. Torpedoes and mines. he said. also were being manufactured by the navy. at a great saving of money.
 The secretary directed the attention oi southern farmers to the lack of ships in the American merchant marine to carry their produce to those who need it and are willing to pay for It.
 What the navy needs, and, in case ol trouble would need sorely," he added. ''ars auxiliaries properly built and equipped with trained Americans. \ merchant ma. rine with foreign crews is not an Ameri' can need either for commerce or de feusa"

 Johnson explained that he agreed with the theory of Thomas R. Malthus that popula- tion has tendency to increase faster than the means to sup port 1t.

FIGHTS ELEVATION.
Racine Man Goes to Court to Stop
Raising of Tracks of N. w. There.

Alleging that the value of his prop
erty would depreciate if Maple street,
near Mound avenue, in Racine, is va
Gated and closed by the Chicago and
Northwestern Railway Company so
that its tracks may be elevated, Fred
Jessen, 1403 Mound avenue, has fled
notice of Injunction proceedings Judge
Belden las signed an order in which
the company is directed to show cause
why it should not be restrained from
closing Maple street at the intersec-
ton of Mound avenue where If is
building a subway. The matter will
be heard in circuit court Nav 8th.
In his complaint, Mr.. lessen says that
the Wisconsin rate commission held a
meeting there July %, 1914, and that
an order for the elevation of the tracks
was signed by the commission without
serving notice on him of the proposed
proceedings so that he could be heard
in behalf of his property. Mr.. lessen
contends that to close Maple street
would depreciate property in that
vicinity and he wants the work of ele-
waiting the tracks stopped.
