BRITISH SHELLS ARE SUPERIOR TO

on to keep pace with the improve ments in the quality of armor-piercing shells that were being made abroad. A difference in the price of shells can be expressed in dollars and cents In feriority of weapons of defense when the fate of the battle may easily de- pend upon this single element, cannot possibly be expressed by any amount of money, however large"
 MT. Daniels declared that the argu- ment used by those who oppose the construction of navy projectile plant which contends that the result will be to crush American industry, is without value.
 T have never had in mind" says he, "a navy plant of greater capacity, working one shift of men, than one third of the total amount required by the navy. The two thirds left for the private manufacturers with our new ships in commission will be greater than the whole amount of few years ago. Only in case of an utter failure on the part of the private manufac- turers to keep their product abreast of the times or to quote prices in any way reasonable, would it be necessary for the navy, by working three shifts instead of one, to manufacture enough material to cover our entire needs.'

INTEREST CENTRED
 ON CRIMINAL COURT
Judge Fort May Be Called Upon to Pass on Status
 of Solicitors

Interest in court circles is ,centered on the criminal division of the consol- dated circuit court which convened for There are nearly 30 cases docketed in the first division of the court, which include some important felony cases. Under the ruling of Judge Sharpe on Saturday it is expected that the court will recognize Solicitor Black as the chief prosecuting officer, which will carry with it the recognition of his assistants, w. s. Welch and Ben F. Ray.
 As to the attitude of Circuit Solicitor Joseph R. Tate in this matter nothing could be ascertained as he declined to make any statement whatever about the situation. It is the opinion, how ever, of the court attaches that he will insist that he is the chief prosecutor un- der the provisions of the consolidated circuit court bill and will ask recognition as such for himself and his assistants, James Davis, John P Mccoy and Wal lace McAdory
 Judge w. E. Fort will assist Judge John c. Pugh in organizing the juries for the criminal division of the court and when the juries are completed will sound the docket set in the criminal di- vision. It may devolve upon Judge Fort to determine, pending the appeal from Judge Sharpe's decision, which of the two solicitors is the chief prosecutor of the county. While the opinion is ex- pressed that Judge Fort will be gov erned largely by the ruling of Judge Sharpe, there are also those who con- tend that the court may recognize both solicitors as having equal Jurisdiction and authority. The outcome is await ed with more than usual interest.

POLICE DECIDE THAT
 ARTIST KILLED SELF
San Francisco Police Free Dr. Porter From Charge of Having Killed
 Miss Djong

San Francisco, January 21.-Miss Bettie Djong, a painter of wide repu- tation, died early today from self inflicted bullet wound in the head, The police said today they had virtu- ally completed their investigation of the case and examination of pr. Will liam S Porter, well known Oakland physician, who was in Miss Djong' S studio when she shot herself. After several hours of questioning, he was permitted to go to his home. An in- quest will be held.
 pr. Porter met Miss Djong, he said, last year, during the Panama Pacific exposition, at which she had several exhibits. Dr. Porter said he was to sit for his portrait yesterday but was unable to keep the engagement and called at the studio to so inform the artist. Soon after his arrival the physician declares, Miss Djong began suicide, all the while hold- ing a small revolver, For three hours, the physician said, he tried to persuade the young woman not to think of such a thing Finally when he was about to leave, he said, Miss Djong shot herself

STATUS OF ARMED
 MERCHANTMEN MAY
 REACH SETTLEMENT
Summary of German Admiralty Ca bled to Washington-Issue May
 Be Settled Soon

Berlin, January 21.--(via London) A summary of the German admiraItys official statement on the detention as prisoners of war of neutral sailors aboard armed merchantmen captured by the German naval forces, was cabled to the state department at Washing gton by Ambassador Gerard.
 German official circles profess to regard the case as affording an oppor- tunity for negotiations looking to the settlement between America and Ger many of the status of armed merchant men.
 Since the issuing of the German memorandum on armed merchantmen earlier in the war, German authori- ties have held that a ship which mounts guns, whether they be intend ed for defense or offense. loses its status as a private commercial craft and becomes a warship. Sailors talk ing service on such ship. these au- thorities contend, lose their neutral status just as if they had enlisted in the naval forces of a belligerent. Therefore, these sailors are liable to treatment as prisoners of war, it is held
 Of late, however, the armed mer- chantmen Issues has again become pressing. and the belief is growing that the government will take advant- age of the situation created by the bringing into a German port of the prize ship Yarrowdale, with the crew held as prisoners of war, to bring the question to a head.

ANN|STON MAY NOT
 REMAIN IN GA. 1.
Cornelius Will Resign From Presidency-Wi Hold
 Meeting

Anniston, January 22.-(Special)-A meeting of Anniston fans will be called in the near future to lay plans for the 1917 baseball sea son and decide whether or not Anniston will be represented in the Georgia-Alabama league this year. At this meeting Paul G. Cornelius, who was president of the Moulders last year. will tender his resignation on account of the press of other business.
 The Annston club played a losing game financially all last year. It started out at the beginning of the season $500 in debt and wound up at the close of the season 5000 to the bad. It is pointed out, however, that the improvements made last year, which cost great deal of money, were of a permanent nature and a similar expenditure would not have to be made this year. It is also believed that the games would be better attended this season on account of the large in- crease in population of young men from other towns who have come here to work in the ordnance plant, steel plant, etc.
 The meeting of the baseball fans will be held in Henry Edmondsons office on Gurnee street on Tuesday, January 90, at 3:30 o'clock.
