LADY TOURISTS
ARE HELD Up
Women Making Tour to Yellow
stone Narrowly Escape Los
ing Valuables.

Reports from Jamestown are to the
effect that Mrs. E. E. Buell. and Miss
Florence Brown of Alexander, Minn.,
who visited in this city over Sunday
as the guests of Mr.. and Mrs. c. l..
Young, stopping over here on their
way to Yellowstone National Park
from their home town in Minnesota,
were held up a short distance from
jamestown by two masked men, who
nearly got away with a deal of valu-
ables in the possession Of the two
women tourists.
According to the story told by the
two women, the men sprang out OF
some low brush on the right.hand
side Of the road, as they were about
to make a turn, and demanded their
valuables. Both were badly frighten-
ed and were about to accede to the
demands of the bandits when an auto
mobile, which has been trailing about
a mile behind, came along and the
men took to their heels.
Mrs. Buell. and Miss Brown are
making the trip from Alexander to
the Yellowstone alone and had been
warned of the danger of hold.up in
that section of the country, where so
many men are out of employment.
Nevertheless they have continued
their journey unaccompanied, and
maintain that they are unafraid, their
experience merely unnerving them for
the time being.

on the California is expected to be-
gin next month. At the Brooklyn
yard, the department had planned to
put double shifts to WORK on the
New Mexico, so as to get her into the
water and clear the ways for the
Tennessee, but because Of the short
age Of skilled labor it has been with
great difficulty that single full shift
has been maintained.
Navy yards have been compelled
to take inexperienced men in large
numbers as the best of the construc-
ton crews have gone to private
plants.

Washington, Aug. 15.--Congress
virtually completed the national de-
tense program tonight by finally ap-
proving the great increases in naval

into the naval bill and urgently sup
ported by the administration.
The house accepted the building
program, to which its conferes on the
measure had refused to agree, by
vote of 2S3 to 81, with seven Of the
members present not voting. The
personnel increases on which there
also was a disagreement in confer
ence were approved without record

The personnel and construction
sections, which already had the ap-
proval of the senate, authorize an in
crease of enlisted men to 74,50O and
the building of 157 war vessels with
in the next three year, with four bat
tie cruisers, and four battleships in
cluded among the ships for 1917. Pre-
viously the house ha refused to
adopt a continuous building program,
had authorized only five capital ships,
all Of them battle cruisers, and had
provided for a personnel of only
$1,000. ft..'
On several less important sections,
including appropriations for improve
ment Of navy yards, the house insist
ed on it's disagreement to senate in
creases and voted to send the bill
back to conference for settlement of
these points. An early agreement is
expected; however, and the measure
may be sent to the president for his
signature within a week. ~
Second Largest Navy.
Secretary Daniels issued a state
ment tonight pointing out that the
building authorizations in the bill
would be the greatest ever passed in
any country and would give the Unit
ed States, in the opinion of naval au-
thorities, the second largest navy in
the world. He declared the measure
80 complete and nearly perfect that
it will stand as a model for all navy
bills for future legislation"
The vote by which the house &C.
cepted the senate increase in the
building program was non-partisan.
the majority Of both Democrats and
Republicans voting in the affirmative.
OF the 81 members who voted in the
negative, there were 35 Democrats,
Is Republicans and one socialist.
During debate on the building pro-
gram, the Republicans insisted that
they had lead the way toward in
creases and that the administration
was not entitled to all of the credit.
The time allotted opponents of the
big program was controlled by Demo-
cratic leader Kitchin, who charged
the Democrats with a sharp change
