Through a misunderstanding on

ported the dry measure, causing a
panic among the vets, both inside and
outside the committee.
A sensation was caused at the hear
ing of subcommittee of the Senate
Committee on the District OF Column
bia, on the confirmation of Gpuerai
Robert @. Smith as a member of the
excise commission, when Rev. J. Mac
Murray. formerly a pastor at Jersey
City. expressed the conclusion. from
his knowledge OF political affairs here,
that General Smith owed his appoint
ment Of Joseph Tumulty. secretary to
President Wilson. and that General
Smiths officials actions were in har-
mony with the sympathies of Tu-
multy.
DR.. MacMurray said he believed
General Smith was so accustomed, as
the result OF holding official positions
in the past, to receive orders, that he
is uHdDAe no" 10 Lil5 aDtI5 Oh
a lifetime, and that he considers every
thing from the standpoint of the in
terest of liquor dealers, and not OF the
people.
DR.. MacMurray went so far as to
charge that he believed President VIII
son, as well as Secretary Tumulty
has knowledge of lax methods in con-
nection with excise matters here and
that he was sure the President Is
pleased with the manner in which the
laws are being enforced.
Senator Sheppard. inquiring of DR..

confire his charges with reference to

UNITED STATES MAKES
COAST DEFENSE A STUDY

Washington, Feb. 20.--The collapse
of the Dardanelles campaign in which
it was proved fewer and less power
full guns can Illustrate great fleets has
led to n more thorough study OF the
land defense problem than was ever
before made by War Department Of
feials.
Study of the merits OF various types
of coast defenses has developed a plan
now being thrashed out by the War
Department. involving possible adop-
ton of mobile armament system. which
could be made practicable because of
the extensive railroad lines along the
coast lines of the United States.
BrigadierGeneral Crozier. chief of
ordinance of the War Department. Is
giving special condition to the sub
jeet. Although General Crozier will
offer no opinion officially, it is under
stood that officers of the army are
inclined to favor the suggestion that
by using mobile armament cars the
United States would enhance its
chances of preventing the landing of
an invading force, 1t is admitted that
the accuracy of fourteen or sixteen
inch shell fired from n concrete foun-
dation on shore, would be eight times
as great as shots from the same gun
on a battleship.
