Destroyers Calling For
$3.50, OOO, 900.

washington, d. C., Oct. 10.-The
IlAmerican Nays war construction
program consists of 7s7 vessels, in
lclqding all types, from superdread-
naughts to submarine chasers
In making this announcement yes
terday secretary Daniels said some of
the vessels have been completed with
I in the last few weeks and are now in
service, and that the rest Of the pro-
gram is being rushed. The total cost
| is estimated at 81, $50, 400, 600.
Many of the vessels are destroyers.
| and arrangements have been made for
carrying out the $3.50, 100000 supple
mental destroyer program, which the
Navy expects to be completed in Is
months. -
Examination of contracts by the le-
gal representatives of the builders
prevented the formal signing Of the
agreements yesterday with the six
companies which are to build the
craft, but Mr.. Daniels said only minor
details stood in the way of getting the
vessels under construction.
The companies to which were
awarded the contracts are the New
York Shipbuilding corporation, the
Cramp company, the Newport News
Shipbuilding and Drydock company,
1.-The Fore River Slipbui1ding corpora
/ ton, the Bath Iron Works and the
/ Union Iron Works. All these COM
panies have had experience in de-
stroyer building, and this is expected
to make for rapid work.
/ The Fore River company, Mr.. Dan
iels explained, was the only one that
| had offered to build more vessels than
were awarded to it. The builders
were called in, each except the Fore
River was given all the work it esti-
mated it could undertake and the re-
mainder of the order, details Of which
are withheld. went to the Fore River
company.
| Secretary Daniels said he expected
the first of the new destroyers to be
launched and commissioned within
mine months They will be of the
latest, largest and most improved
type, which have just been tried by
the American Navy. he said, and
found to be unsurpassed by any de-
i stroyers in the world
Thousands of men will he required
to man these destroyers,'' the Secre-
ltary's statement said, and we are
now busy training them BY the time
the vessels are completed the crews
will be ready.

the German machine for espionage.
The revelation Of the part played by
Jeremiah O'Ieary was not unexpected
and the fact that his name was sug-
gested by Sir Roger Easement, who
later was executed in England on the
charge of treason, already had been
Indicated in earlier disclosures by the
department.
The injection of the name 'rDr.
Hale into the German organization
was something of surprise, however,
and gave immediate rise to speculation
as to just what individual was meant.
DIR. William Bayard Hale, acting as a
newspaper corresponds was then in
Germany and admittedly was close to
the Berlin government.
Secretary Lansing adhered to the
same policy of silence today as has
characterized previous disclosures,
adding this last chapter of German
perfidy without comment or inter-
probation. It has been understood that
the state department and the depart
ment Of justice have other records of
Won Bernstorff's activities.
Publication of the German foreign
Offices message referring to jeremiah
iO'Leary caused many smiles of grim
satisfaction at the White House 1t
was recalled that during the last pres
| identfal campaign O'Leary, as presi-
dent Of the American Truth society,
teIegraphed the president that he and
many other Americans would not vote
for Mr.. Wilson because Of his inter-
national policy. The president replied
from his summer home in Shadow
Lawn under date of Sept. 20, 1916:
.sYour telegram received would
feel deeply mortified to have you or
anybody like you vote for me. Since
you have access to many disloyal
Americans and + have not, will ask
you to convey this message to Them

DR. William Bayard Hale was a
Especial representative of President
Wilson in Mexico in 1913 and was fire.
quently referred to as the president S
i biograp ply. Early in the war his arti-
cles from Berlin attracted attention
by reason of the intimate relations he
seemed to have with high officials of
the German foreign office. Mrs Hale
was with him in Germany. Mrs. Hale
wrote many articles that were caIcu-
lated to give the world the most ia
vorable impression OF Germany's aims
and methods of warfare. She also
was prominent In the women's move-
nent to obtain an embargo on arms
and ammunition. s

PATIENT LOSES
ACTION AGAINST
DOCTOR C0WELL
Court Finds Physician Non
Blamable on Negligence
Charge.

DR.. George B. Cowell, prominent
physician and member of the third
district exemption board, won le-
gal victory yesterday afternoon when
Judge Curtis decided in DR.. Cowelp S
favor in a $4,000 suit brought against
the doctor by A. e. Hunt of this city.
Judge Curtis gave his decision from
the bench after listening to testi-
mony.
Hunt claimed he went to DR.. Cowell
to have a broken bone in his arm
reset and he said the operation was
performed SO negligently that he had
to have another doctor perform two
operations. DR.. Cowel1 denied any
negligence.

bridges should not be touched.
Apparently 1t was realized that
otherwise passenger trains might be
wrecked, involving loss of American
life, as many Americans patronize the
Canadian railroads. AS the main pur-
pose was to cut off supplies of mu-
nitions and food from the Allies in
Europe, it was probably thought this
could be accomplished without going
to the extreme Of destroying bridges
and, entertainments.
+ Apparently the correspondence is
sued today must soon be followed by
additional disclosures to clear up
some of tho mysterious transactions
referred to, as the state department
doubtless has other material in hard.

GOES TO TRIAL FOR MURDER
sam Roberts Charged with Partici-
pating In Death of Potcc.

The trial of Sam Roberts, one of the
young men charged with the murder
of Louis Potee last June, went to trial
yesterday afternoon before Judge Conn
Linn in the district court.
1t was formerly intended that
Roberts and Sam Bowden, two young
men charged with having been impli-
Gated in the Staying of young Potee in
a roadhouse north of Standpipe hill
last summer, would go to trial on q
murder count together, but upon re-
quest of both defense and prosecu-
tion. the two men will be tried sep
arately.
The death of Potee occurred on the
night of June l6 in roadhouse,
which had caused the county officials
no little trouble. Potee, according to
statements made by officers who in
vestigatcd the case and by private de-
tectives, who arrested Bowden and
Roberts IN other parts of the state,
was killed in what appeared to be a
"holdup' of the place. Two mon,
thot to be Bowden and Roberts, en-
tered the roadhouse and at the point
of a gun backed the patrons off the
place and relieved them of their
money. In attempting to escape or Of
fer resistance Potee was stabbed by
one of the stick-ups. from the wounds
of which he died in a local hospital
later
Bowden and Roberts were arrested
| by operatives of the Bays Detective
agency after chase, which lasted
thru almost every large city in okla
homa. Legal representatives were Sc
cured for Roberts by relatives and
brought here from his home I'm the
western part of the state to save him
from the electric chair.
