NO DELAY IN NAVY BUILDING
Secretary Daniel Says Plans for New
Vessels Will Be Ready When
Bill Passes.

Washington, Aug 1O.-Secretary
Daniels announced today that plans
for the ships to be built under the
pending naval bill were so far adj
vanced that contracts for all but the
battle cruisers and the ammunition
ships can be advertised within a week
after the measure has been signed by
the President. A tentative sketch of
the ammunition ships was completed
today. Plans for the battle cruisers
are progressing favorab1y enough to
make it certain that they can be adj
vertised before October 1. The sec
retary's announcement outlined the
characteristics of the four new battle
ships congress is expected TO author
ize. They will carry main batteries
of eight 16-inch guns each, as against
the twelve 14-inch guns on ships of
the California and Tennessee classes.
Otherwise they will duplicate the
Tennessee class, with a displacement
of 81, 600 tons. Vessels of $4,000 tons,
carrying. ten 16-fnch rifles, had been
considered, but many navy experts
opposed the larger type unless there
was corresponding increase in
speed. The new ships will be required
to make twenty-one knots an hour. as
is the case with the Tennessee class.

FLOOD FOLLOWS CLOUDBURST
West Virginia Valley Swept by Rush.
ing WaterHomes Destroyed
and Many Drowned.

Charleston, W. Va, Aug. 1O.-A
cloudburst swept the Cabin Creek and
Coal River valleys tonight, spreading
devastation throughout the district.
Advices tonight were meager owing
to interrupted wire and rail commu-
nication, but various reports esti-
mated the loss of life at from eleven
to $50 persons. The property dam
age was placed at not less than one
million dollars.
Two companies of the Twenty-sec-
ond regiment, First Virginia National
Guard, encamped at Kanawha City,
near here, were ordered to the flood
zone with tents and supplies by Gov
ernor Hatfield.
Relief trains are being made up
here and will depart shortly.
Eleven bodies have so far been re-
covered. three at Cabin Greek juno
ton and eight at Dry Branch. Scores
of houses have been swept down the
two streams which, swollen by the
heavy rains, overlooked their banks,
carrying everything before them.
More than thirty houses were count
ed passing one point in Cabin Creek
today. Many of the houses crashed
into the piers of the Chesapeake &
Ohio railroad bridge, which had been
earlier washed out, and were demol-
ished.
The damage to railroads, coal, oil
and gas properties throughout the
district is especially heavy.
Two passenger trains, one OF which
is a Sunday school excursion train
carrying three hundred persons, are
marooned near At. Adams and efforts
to reach them have failed.
Governor Hatfield hurriedly re-
turned tonight from Huntington,
where he had gone to attend the Re
publican state convention tomorrow,
and will take charge of the relief
work.

crop prospects amounting to many
million dollars loss to farmers were
indicated today in the department of

creases in rye, white and sweet po-
tatoes. flax, apples and peaches.
Corn is in a serious condition from

the yield will be smaller than the fore
cast announced today, which was
2, 777,OOO,OO bushels.
Commenting on the report the bu-
reau of crop estimates issued this
statement:
During the past month spring
wheat prospects declined 100000
bushels and the preliminary estimate
of winter wheat production is $4,000,
900 bushels less than the July fore
cast. The quality of the winter wheat
is fairly good. which is in contrast
with last years poor quality wheat.
1.-THE August 1 forecast of the oat
crop is 1,274,OO0,OO0 bushels, which is
falling off Of 100000 from the
July forecast and is 266, 100000 bush
els less than the record production Of
last year, but 10000, 900 more than
the average of the preceding five
years.

year, but 100000 more than the
average of the preceding five years.

ton of the corn belt, the greatest loss
being in Oklahoma, Kansas and Mis-
souri,.

DaiEymen's association, reviewed pro
gress Of 1915 which shows q great in
crosse In the butter production OF the
cooperative creameries amounting 70
], 100000 lbs. He also said the i'm
proEement in quality is shown by the
preference accorded Saskatchewan
butter in outside markets. Shipments
out Of the province for the year to-
tailed 50 carloads.
According to bulletin just issued BY
the Manitoba department OF agricul-
tCre, the dairy industry had q very
successful year in 1915. There was an
increase OF over 100000 lbs. of cream
cry butter produced, as against the
previous year, about 100000 lbs. in
crease in dairy butter and over $500
lbs. increase In the cheese output. The
Increase OF the total value OF milk and
milk products was over $4,000. The
production Of dairy butter for Mani
tOba during the year was 4,150,444 lbs.
and it brought an average price Of &c
per H.; OF creamery butter $3.50. 66T
lbs. were produced which commanded

ductiOn was 726. rs lbs. which sold at

A NOTED SURGEON is DEAD
Or. John 3. Murphy OF Chicago Sue
cumbs to Heart Disease-At-
tanned Highest Honors.

Mackinac Island, Mich, Aug. II.
DR.. John B. Murphy of Chicago, one
of the worlds most renowned sur
geons, died today at hotel here while
on a summer outing. An attack of
heart disease was the immediate
cause of death. Doctor Murphy had
been in poor health for several
months, and some had ascribed his
condition to the poisoned soup par
taken of at the banquet given to Arch
bishop Mundelein at the University
Club, Chicago, last winter His wife
was with him at the time of death.
Chicago, Aug. 12.-Doctor Murphy
recently was knighted by Pope Bene-
dict for his researches in surgery. He
was SO years old. Sir John first came
into international fame through his
specializing in intestinal disorders,
and invented what was known as the
Murphy button" making possible
operations that therefore had been
deemed impossible.

Danish Foreign Minister Denies
His Country Was Compelled
TO Sell West Indies.
SENATOR STONE is IHCEHSED
Missourisn Denounces as "Dishonor.
able Act" the Publication of Terms
of Treaty of Purchase.

Copenhagen, Aug. 1.-THE first
reading OF the bill providing for the
sale the Danish West Indies to the
United States was taken up in the
Folkething, the lower house of the
rigsdag, today and viii be continued
tomorrow. 1t is believed that the
FoIkething will adopt the measure
owing to the fact that the Radical
and Socialistic parties, which have a
majority, favor the sale.
On the other hand, the Landsthing,
or upper house, is thought TO be OPP
posed to the measure, the left party
having joined the conservatives, who
desire to postpone consideration Of
the matter.
During the discussion today there
was much excitement in the house
and some women among the specta-
tors shouted, I'VE will not SELL
Several of the ministers took part
in the debate and the statement was
made in behalf OF the government that
neither domestic nor economic con-
siderations, but the international stu
ton, had brought the question to a
head and that if the sale was rejected

The finance minister, Edward
Brandes, intimated that the govern
ment had no alternative but to accede
to the desire of the United States.
Not Forced to Sell.
The foreign minister, Eric De Sea
VENUS, in opening the debate, recon-
mended ratification of the sale. He
denied that the government was
forced to SELL and added that the gov
eminent had not favored the sale OF
the islands because Of the favorable
purchase price, but because retention
of the islands might possibly involve
Denmark in international complica-
tions. 1t was for the rigsdag now to
make final decision.
Stone Is Incensed.
Washington, Aug. 11-Senator
Stone. chairman of the foreign rela-
lions committee, today denounced as
a "dishonorable act" the publication
of the terms of the treaty for purchase
of the Danish West Indies and served
notice in the senate that he would
ask for an, investigation at the next
executive session of how a printed
copy got into the possession of

been made by President Wilson and
the Danish government that details
