upon Mrs. John F. Chandler by a negro
burglar who entered the Chandler
home this morning has aroused the
residents Of Elizabeth and resulted in
threats Of violence should the suspect
be captured. II is because of this sit
uation that the police have refused to
make public a description OF the man.
Mrs Chandler. who is middle-sged
and Of frail build. walked into the
front room Of her home this morning
to investigate noise when she saw
big negro descend the stairs with his
arms loaded with wearing apparel and
silver. She shouted TO the man. who
on seeing her. dropped his loot and
grasped her by the throat
After repeatedly striking and kicking
his victim the burglar carried her up
stairs. tore her belt off and bound and
gagged her. A few minutes later he
returned with an open razor in his
hand Mrs. Chandler said she re-
mained motionless and that she be-
lieved this had led the intruder TO be-
lieve that she was already dead and
spare her further indignities. He then
departed with jewels and bags of sill

Four Battle Cruisers Also
in Building Plan for
Coming Year.
PRESIDENT IS SAID
TO APPROVE BILL
General Boards Scheme for
Five Years Construction To
Be Followed.

Washington, June 22.-The Senate
subcommittee considering the naval
bill reached a tentative agreement to-
day to recommend a building pro-
gramme Of four battle-cruisers and
three dresdnoughts for the coming
year, as part Of a fve-year construc-
ton policy substantially the same a.
that drawn up by the Naval General
Board An amendment embodying the
plan probably will be reported to the
full Naval Committee within a few
days
As it passed the House, the bill pro-
vides for only five capital ships, all OF
them battle-cruisers. for next year,
and contains no provisions for build
ing policy, extending into the future.
Increases over the House authorize
tions have been urged upon Senate
leaders by President Wilson and Sec
rotary Daniels, and it is expected the
programme decided on to-day will have
the backing of the Administration
when the bill is brought in.
The fve-year programme of the sub
committee calls for sixteen capital
ships, the last 10 be laid down in 1920.
In virtually all other particulars, also,
it follows the general board pro-
gramme. except for the first year.
Besides the capital ships, the sub
committee plan provides authorization
for 1917 Of four scout cruisers, ten tor
pedo boat destroyers, thirty coast sub
marines, one fuel oil ship, one hospital
ship, one repair ship. one fleet subma-
rne tender, one ammunition ship and
one gunboat
The subcommittee also has agreed
to an appropriation Of S3,50O,OOO for
aeronautics, one dirigible balloon to be
specified for construction, and the bal
ance of the fund 10 be used at the dis
cretion of the Navy Department for
aeroplanes or dirigibles.
Proposals now under consideration
provide for equippng the navy yards
at Norfolk, Va, and Charleston, S. c.,
for ship construction-Norfolk to build
ships of all classes, and Charleston
smaller ships and for erection of a
foundry at Charleston TO supply mate
rials for navy yards generally.
Senator Tillman, chairman OF the
subcommittee, said tonight that the
bill would be completed and reported
to the full committee early next week.
