PRESIDENT HAS TAKEN ALL POS SiBLE MEASURES FOR DEFENSE
 BEFORE CONGRESS MEETS.
"A DEsTRoYERs ORDERED
Navy Department Has Called Confer ence of Steel and Other Material Companies To Considers Means of
 Speeding Up Naval Construction.

hington.-Having taken virtual fore the assembling of Congress, Pres ident Wilson and his advisers are concentrating their efforts to prepare for the more sweeping steps for which congressional authority will be sought.
 The details of steps to be recorr mended are held in closest confidence, but officials lets it be known that among other things general military budget, co-ordinating many items of expense deemed imperative, will be laid before Congress when the extra session begins.
 During the day the Council of Ma tional Defense held conference with it's advisory committee of seven tn- dustrial leaders, who have mapped out mobilization plans for the country's economic resources; the Navy De partment awarded contracts for "A de- stroyers and called conference of steel and other material companies for next week to consider means of
  the War Department announced that failure of the army appropriation bill at the last session of Congress would not be permitted to handicap the army preparations, and regulations were promulgated to guide the countrys newspapers in voluntary censorship preventing publication of details which might embarrass the govern ment.
 In making the awards on destroyers Secretary Daniels accepted the maxi. mum estimate of each of the three companies submitting figures. Of the "A ordered nine will be built under the emergency fund, Congress having spc officially authorized only 15. A consid- erab1e number of other builders were in conference with officials, however, and indications are that the order will be doubled or even trebled, if ia cilities for construction of the yes. sels can be found.
 Regarding the activities of the War Department, Secretary Baker made this statement to the newspaper men:
 .Of course, everybody knows that the international situation is tense, The War Department, like every other department of the government, is busy with a state of preparation, but with. out attempt on the part of the depart ment or anybody else to determine what that preparation is for, except to put our national strength in state of efficiency.
 Everybody realizes that this is a sort of unnatural situation. We are making preparations and buying sup plies and all that sort of thing, and yet the policy of the country is still to be determined by the legislative body, and just what will happen is to be determined by the president and Congress.
 "All that you can say of the War Department is that it is pressing ahead all purchases of everything that will be needed to equip an army, if the army is to be called 1pon."

WOODRUFF, formerly IT7I of Birmingham, now of New <s = York, and known as "the Dres- den china authoress of America" dur ing the recent actors fund fair" con ducted the Authors league booth" Dur ing the fair there was very readable and clever daily published known as "rhe Frars' Epistle1 and Mrs. Wood ruff, writing under the head of High Brow Booth, offers great prize" says very cleverly the following;
 Have you bought a book at the Au- thors' league booth? You have a. book ? Oh, we'll never mind buy another. They make splendid paper weights for the table on the front porch. They may be used to put creases in papas old pants. As subseance for baby to cut teeth on they are invaluable. For conversational purposes they beat the weather all to pieces.
 But aside from all the useful ways books may be used they are an ornament to any library-as female book agents will tell you. Books are not the entire attraction of the Authors League of America booth, however, for the people who write them are there.
 "Gertrude Atherton, Ellis Parker But Ter, Elaine Sterne, Charming Pollock, Marjory Benton Cooke Frances German and oh, dozen other faithful authors who look and act just exactly like folks and are more determined to enable the general public of New York to think they are in Boston than they are to buy 8 becoming hat from Emma Frohman, or take a chance on a refrigerator to be sent to the Eskimos or a flannel shirt to an African war baby.
 ''The most interesting thing in the booth-that is, beside Mrs. Graham tableaux-is Mrs. Kitson's autograph book, with everybody in it but William Jennings Bryan and the Kaiser. of course, this is for sale, but it will doubt less be given away, for no one could possibly raise the price for such price less article. The person, therefore, who makes the largest donation to the booth will doubtless secure this prize at auc- ton. We haven't heard from MT. Ford yet, but number of other persons with g, bank account and something to ride in have made thousand dollar bids. and we are waiting for more. Come one, come all! No extra charge for looking at this bool-or all those splendid women who are giving their time to the most inter- esting high brow booth in existence"

Henderson Will Not Allow
 Negroes to Be Lynched

Montgomery, May 29.-(Special.) J If the mind of the Mobile public Is so aflame that guards are necessary for the protection of Fisher Brooks and Albert Sanders. negroes charged with the murder of Mrs. R. c. Hess, the negroes should be tried in another county and should not be taken where their lives might be endangered with out due process of law. Governor Hen derson made this declaration to Sher if w. H Holcombe of Mobile county on the telephone Monday when Sher- if Holcombe asked the governor to arrange for a guard for Fisher and Sanders when they were brought to Mobile for arraignment next Tuesday
 Governor Henderson told Sheriff Holcombe absolutely nothing should be done which would not guarantee protection to the negroes until they were tried. At the same time he eX- pressed the opinion that citizens of Mobile county would not attempt to take the law into their own hands and that reports which have come from Mo- bile resulted from the congregation of the idle curious rather than from per- sons who desired to ayenge without process of law the crime charged against Brooks and Sanders.

AS a result of bribery arrests in
connection with work of the city's
dry squad Saturday afternoon,
Harry Cooper and Harry Emmitts,
investigators for the police de-
partment, were formally charged
Monday with accepting a bride of
$500 while acting as public Off
Gals, and Harry Williams was
charged with compromising a fell
ony by acting as "go-between" on
a bribe.
Bail was set at $4,000 each.
The three are in the city jail, and
will be removed to the county jail
Tuesday for trial before a jury.
The trio we're arrested late Sat
urday, after having met Peter
Sandberg, former proprietor of
the 14th street redlight district,
and r. A. Lambert, manager OF
Sandberg's Palace hotel, 18th and
Pacific, and accepted $500 in gov
eminent bills from them.
Sandberg and Lambert had pre-
viously informed the police of the
bride, and Officers Cornish and
Mondeau hid behind a bill board,
where they overheard the trans
action.

ployed by the dry squad as stool

A meeting was effected. Coop
err and Emmitts handed over to
Sandberg a typewriter copy of all
evidence in the hotel case, and
received the 5000. The money
had prviously been marked under
police supervision.

dence, sold to Sandberg and Lam
bert, is a carbon copy OF the lat
est report made by the investiga-
tors to the dry squad. Police
Chief Smith has both copies in mis-
office.
AS a result of the arrest of the
three men, abatement proceedings
against the hotel are ended, as
their testimony will be valueless

Chief Smith announced Monday
that he would assist in the prose-
cution of the three men.
The three prisoners declare that
they are victims of huge
"frame-up." They declared Mon
day that they had arranged the
meeting with Sandberg and LAM
bert so that they could catch the
hotel men in the act OF bribery,
and arrest them.
