MAKE BIG ENLARGEMENT AT
NEWPORT NEWS SHIPYARD
Company Secures Large Tract of Land
and Plans New Ways for Ad-
ditioRaI Construction.

Especial to The Times Dispatch.1
NEWPORT NEWS, VA. October Ia
The Newport News Shipbuilding and
Dry Dock Company has secured con-
tracts for the construction of a num-
her OF additional torpedo. boat destroy
ers. The contracts give the yard APP
proxir1ately $4,000, 900 worth of work,
the largest amount ever held at one
time by any yard in the world.
The destroyerS will be of regulation
size and type and will be rushed to
completion. Six new shipways now
are being built at the yard, and the
construction of the fast little craft
will be begun as soon as material can
be secured
In addition to the s4.00o,0 900 In i'm
provements. the yard already has un-
der way other improvements costing
between 100000 and $4,000. 900 are
contemplated.
Announcement that the company has
purchased from Mr.. and Mrs. Henry
T.. Huntington large tract OF land
north of the yard leads to tho belief
that the most extensive improvements
are to he made in the near future. The
yard recently was extended 500 feet
northward In order to accommodate
two new shipways, and the purchase
OF nearly half mile of land on the
waterfront is significant.
Officials OF the yard decline to dis
cuss contemplated improvements say
ing that the 100000 worth Of i'm
provements now under way is sufficient
evidence that something IS being done.

WASHINGTON, October 12.-Anthra-
cite coal operators and dealers repre-

ton and distribution or hard coal will
confer with the fuel administration
here Tuesday on the subject Of increas-
| ing the output to meet this winters de-
mands.
Although anthracite shipments the
! first eight months of tie year reached
total Of 6,45f.0o0 tons. against $3.50
900 for the same period in 1916, ex-
perts say the supply will not meet the
demand. Tie dealers and operators
will name n committee to gather data
on tho situation and later will form a
permanent organization To work with
the fuel administration.
Anthracite now is going in large
quantities to the Northwest. New Eng
land and other parts of the country
that are forced to lay in early stores.
Shipments to New England in tho first
eight months CT The year were greater
4 by 665,700 than during the same period
last year. The Northwest. however,
has not yet received an amount cauiva-
lent to last years movement, but fuel
administration officials believe that the
preference now given shipments to
the Lakes soon will remedy this sit
nation.

WAR REVENUE BILL
DELAYED BY Clash
Senate Conferees Yield on Modify
ing McKellar Amendments.

Clash of opinions between the con-
ferees upon the War Revenue Bill
will almost certainly make 1t impos-
sible for any agreement to be reached
before the end of the week.
The conferees had anticipated be-
ing able to make their report to Con-
gress by Thursday. But last night 1t
was learned from an authoritative
source that Friday was now the earli-
est time in view for filing the report.
1t is possible that complete compro-
mises may not be effected until Sat-
urday.
The veil of secrecy was again
thrown about the conference yester-
day. But it was understood that the
Senate members made a definite con-
cession by agreeing that some sort of
a zone system for second-class postal
matter be placed in the BILL The
House sanctioned this plan. Claude
| Kitchin, chairman of the Ways and
, Means Committee, was said yesterday
! to have threatened to hold up the
entire bill unless the Senatorial con-
ferees accepted the House ideas on
this matter.
However, it is understood. that the
zone system agreed upon yesterday
was not as drastic as the McKelIar
amendment. The new scheme is said
to propose a certain circulation ter
ritory in which the present rate of
one cent PER pound will not be alter
ed. Both the graduated scales of the
House and the McKellar amendments
are lowered.
Postmaster General BurIeson and
Secretary of the Treasury McAdoo
appeared before the conferences to
talk about the mail rates. Mr.. Burle-
son wishes a high charge on the
rates for newspapers and periodicals.
1t is said Mr.. McAdoo asked that the
publishers not be charged unduly.
The war profits section of the bill
is asserted to be the main barrier in
the way of an agreement.

!, and do It right. But the women
are taking mems places and their
wages. Julia Clark's husband has
| pockets that are lined with fishhooks
and she failed to abstract the cash.
Julia got peeved. She swiped two
big "Forty-fours'' and went cunning
for him. She couldn't ind him. He
knew what was coming and had made
himself scarce.
Policeman Lowry sneaked up behind
Julia on C street southwest and
grabbed her and the guns. The peo-
pie on the street thought that a wild
West circus was in town. But there
wasn't Just Julia, gin-befuddled and
bent on murder. The court thought
1t was severe case but was glad
friend husband had escaped. She was

Holes In His Pocket.
Harry Lee was walking down Third
street and dropped q quarter. He
didn't hear 1t drop. Joseph Tracey
did. He picked II up, put 1t In his
pocket and walked on unconcerned.
A little boy called Harry's attention
to his loss and pointed out the man
who picked up the quarter. Harry
politely asked for It. Joseph said
he didn't have 1t. He told something
that wasn't 30.
An argument started. A woman
came along and objected to the Gus
sing. Harry hit Joe in the mouth.
Joe fell fiat and hollered. He jumped
up. grabbed a fence board and broke
1t over Harry's head. Then he had
Harry arrested. All for two bits.
Harry pleaded justification. He
couldn't prove that Joe had his quar-
ter. but he knew It just the same. He
has had a good record. He never
lost a quarter before. The court re-
! leased him on personal bonds.

One box Of candy and two girls

Carter left school when only q small
boy. He wasn't up on figures even a
little bit. He had been counting two
girls. One wasn't enough. Last Sum-
day he bought sixty cent box of
candy In a drug store and presented
1t to Laura Murphy. Not 80 far away
stood Elizabeth Murray. She saw 1t
all. Her chest fell four degrees and
she felt like thirty cents.
She was hurt. She got hurt. No
sooner. had she voiced her objection
to Harry. than he had knocked two
Of her teeth out. He had to act quick
he said, because he was fairly ac-
quainted with Elizabeth. Laura did
something which riled Elizabeth con-
siderable and when she started for

Pugh had to take some precautions
to keep Harry from being a Mormon
and fined him $50
