the cancelled checks with the check
stubs are destroyed, leaving as the
only record the amount of money
either association has i'm the bank. 1t

meetings of the association always are
promptly destroyed.

of the Independent Brewing Com
pany, who surrendered himself, at
the Federal Building after Govern
ment authorities had endeavored for
over a week to serve him with a sub
pena, was the first witness.

Worst U. S. Pacific Fleet

ought to overcome all we've got i'm the
Pacific" Admiral Cameron McR

on the Pacific, told the House Naval
committee. Pressed for further in
formation, the Admiral declared the

Read Admiral Badger told the COM
mittee that the United States navy
would need, on. a war basis, 102,S15
men to man the fleet which will be in
commission in 1917. His present
peace estimate of $1,000 men was for
{, 900 more men than recommended by
Secretary Daniels, the difference being
due chiefly to the Navy Boards esti-
mate that so per cent. of crews should
be kept on reserve ships. as against
Mr.. Daniels estimate of 40 per cent.

Chicago, Feb. 25.-Instead of show

TO be a reaction from the semi

on Measure Unlikely

Washington. d. G., Feb. 25.-The
fight in Congress over warning Ameri-
sons off armed ships marked time to-
day with the parliamentary situation
and other DEVELOPMENTS favoring
President Wilson's position.
At an early morning conference with
House leaders the President was told
that if resolutions to warn Americans
could be forced TO a vote now they
would he passed in the House by a

position that Congress should take no
action embarrassing his contention
that the rights of Americans on the
seas must he upheld at any cost and
repeated what he had written last
night to Senator Stone.
The House leaders went away tell
ing the President nothing would be
done to-day but they ventured no pre-
