Stevens Predicts 100000 Tons
Available Next Year.

New York, Dec. 14.-Contracts
have been let by the federal shipping
BOARD for 1000 ships, with net dead
weight carrying scapacity of S,000,-
600 tons, Raymond B. Stevens. vice
chairman of the board, told the mem-
bers of the Academy of Political Sci
ence at the opening of their thirty
seventh annual meeting here today.
He thought that at least 100000
tons would be available next year.
Because the navy program had tied
up IS per cent of all the available
steel yards, he said, it had been nee
essary to build ship yards. .
The great need is for man power,
and if the plants were in full opera
ton, Mr.. Stevens declared, 100000
additional skilled men would be at
work today in ship yards.
Referring to the fact that 65 per
cent of the crews of ships flying the
American flag today is of alien citi-
zenship, Mr.. Stevens said, the board
was working diligently to make it
certain that when the new ships take
cargoes the bridges and decks will be
manned by Americans only.
Francis Lee Stuart, chairman of the
terminal facilities of the war board,
declared that the freight congestion
which had become acute as early as
the spring Of 1913, was because rail-
road facilities had not kept abreast
of the increased traffic.

BARS CRITICISM OF DRAFT.
Judge Silences Attorney Who Says
People Never Sanctioned War.

Washington, Dec. ia scathing
rebuke administered by Chief Justice
White to one of the lawyers attacking
the law enlivened argument before
the Supreme Court today in cases
testing the constitutionality of the
army draft act.
J. Gordon Jones, representing Al
bert Jones, convicted in Georgia OF
failing to register, declared the law
was unconstitutional because 1t re-
quired men to take part in a war
which had never received the peo-
pies approval. His remark was cut
short.
81 do not think your statement has
anything to do with the legal argu-
ments," said the Chief Justice sharp
ly, land should not have been said in
this court. 1t is very unpatriotic
statement to make"
The attorney apologized and con-
tinued his argument.

FIRED FIRST SHOT.
Representative Tinkham Sent Shell
Across the Lower Piave.

Italian Army Headquarters IN
Northern Italy, Dec. 1.-THE first
American shot against Austria was
fred by Representative Tinkham, OF
Boston, on the lower Piaye, when Mr.
Tinkham pulled a string firing a
large 149-milimetre gun, sending a
shell hurtling across the Piave to the
Austrian positions at COMO.
A huge cloud of black smoke mark
ed the place where the shell burst
The Italian battery men gathered
around the gun and raised a cheer
as the American Congressman fired.
Representative Tinkham fired the
shot by invitation Of the colonel in
command near Dona di Piave. The
she'll was sent on it's journey during
a heavy artillery fire along the Piave
and the northern front. The lombard
ment was especially concentrated
back of Mount Grappa, between the
Piaye and Brenta rivers. This may
be an indication of another drive on
the Italian lines from that direction.

GERMANS HAVE $50 DIVISIONS.
On Western Front Now, Declares
Military Writer.

London, Dec. 1.-THE military
correspondent Of the Times, in gen.
eral review of the military situation,
estimates that there are now about
$50 German divisions on the western
front and 79 on the eastern front, but
that apparently all men between nine
teen and thirty-ive years of age are
being withdrawn from the latter point
for service ih the west.
The writer concurs in the opinion
that the Germans probably will try
to settle matters in the west before
Russia RECEIVERS. and America Is ready
hoping to deliver decisive blow this
winter or in the spring.
The central powers, he declares,
are seriously beset by want and the
exhaustion of their reserves, so that
it may be necessary for them to strike
very quickly.
At any rate, in his view, half
million fresh fighting men must be
expected on the enemy side in the
west with a corresponding increase
in guns and aircraft.
The correspondent does not think
this will be sufficient to insure VIC.
tory for the central powers, but he
argues that it must compel great ef-
forts and speedy ones by the allies.
He points out that Great Britain
can extend her conscription to Ireland
and raise the age limit for service to
fifty years, comb the industries and
send youths of 18 to the front. By
the vigorous application of all these
means, in his view, the allies can
"carry on" until the Americans ar
rive in force. He recognizes, how
ever, that contentious legislation"
must be faced to enable such an appli-
cation CT effort.
The combined strength of the allies
on the western front, the writer con-
lends, is inadequate to promise vic
tory in an ambitious offensive, and
he urges the reconsideration of ideas
upon distant operations, instancing
Saloniki, where he says there are
enough men to turn the scales in
France.
What is the USE" says the
writer, "to occupy Jerusalem or Bag
dad if we are unsuccessful in the main
theatre?'

MEANS ACQUITTED.
North Carolinian Was Accused OF
killing Wealthy Mrs. King.

Concord, Dec. 16.-Gaston B
Means was acquitted here today fol
the murder of Mrs. Maude A. King
a wealthy widow of New York, whose
business affairs he had handled. The
case went to the jury last night at
o'clock, and as Presiding Judge Cline
had ruled that a verdict might be
rendered on Sunday, the jurors sent
for him today and returned the YER
dict shortly after 10 O'Clock.
After the foreman of the jury had
fromally pronounced the verdict Of
mot guilty." counsel for Means asked
the court if it had any other charges
against Means. Judge Cline replied
there was none, and Means was given
his freedom for the first time since
last September, when he was arrested
on a warrant charged with having
shot the woman who met death here
in August. Means always asserted
she shot herself accidentally.
Reports had been current here that
if Means were acquitted of the muir
der charges that New York officials
who took an active part in aiding the
prosecution, would seek his arrest on
other charges, alleged misappropria'
ton in New York of the woman
fortune and allegations of Means
connection with German interests
having been aired at the trial.
Assistant District Attorney Dool'
ing of New York, and a number o1
other officials from that State, LETT
here last night, taking with them
documents seized in Meanss ne"
York apartments, which were useo
in the trial, and Solicitor Clement
prosecuting attorney for the State
said, in reply to questions late today
that he did not anticipate any prose
cution of Means in New York.

HELD FOR FEDERAL TRIAL.
Young Man Charged With Disloyal
Utterances.

Columbia, Dec. 12.-For alleged
disrespectful remarks about the
President, disloyal criticism of the
government and an epithet applied to
the flag, Rufus Hart, a young sales
man, of Columbia, was bound over to
the federal counr for trial by A. Bev-
erley Sloan, United States commits
sioner, this afternoon after pre-
liminary hearing. Hart was released
on $4,000 bond pending his trial.
Mrs. V. B. Hayes, who runs the
boarding house at which Hart took
his meals, testified that after the dec
Iaration of a state of war with Ger
many, Hart, at the supper table, said
che wouldn't fight; that the Germans
had done nothing to him." 1t was
brought out in the hearing that Hart
had been drafted and that his chief
theme of conversation at the dining
table was the war. Miss Morsie Hayes
testified that Hart in his conversation
at the table used these expressions:
eff it hadn't been for Big Mouthed
Wilson we would not be in war, -
and damn the country and to hell
with the flag"
G. F. Collins testified that he was
present at the conversations in ques-
tion and he substantiated the testl-
mony of the two women. G. A. Pitts,
the remaining witness, said that he
also was present at the. time of the
alleged conversations but he could
not swear that Hart made the re-
marks alleged against him. Hart
pleaded mot guilty to the charges.

Bomb" Cause of Excitement.

Orangeburg, Dec. ia curious
looking object, thought to resemble a
bomh of some kind, was discovered
on the track of the Atlantic Coast
Line at the crossing of the Southern
Railway yesterday. The "bomb' was
turned over to the police and it was
rumored over the city that an at
tempt had been made to blow up a

On investigation, however, a witness
testified that the object found was a
part from a Pullman car. Chief
Limehouse now has the bomb ID
his office and it is said that some are
not yet convinced that it is not a
real German bomb"
