all fleet stores ready for delivery,
avoiding the expense and unneces-
sary rehandling of fleet stores in and
out of the navy yard and yard store.

Torpedo storehouses for reserve tor
pedoes. Medical storehouse capable
of storing enough equipment and

The requirement of this property
makes possible the development on
Hampton Roads, the normal anchorage

the greatest naval bases in the world,
said Secretary Daniels. This is
something we have needed for many
years, and ours is the only big navy
which does not possess such base.

American Gun Crew Saves
Liner From U-Boat AttacL

London, July 1.-THE gun crew of
an American liner fired upon two Ger
man submarines during her voyage
from the United States to England
Both targets were at a considerable
range. but the report to Washington
of the commanding officer will ex-
press the belief that one periscope
was shattered.
A third submarine was sighted, but
at a great distance, and 1t submerged
Immediately.
The passengers expressed the great
est admiration for the craftsmanship
of the American gunners as shown
both in practice and against the
enemy. One member of the crew of
the liner was formerly a gunner in
the British navy, and he won applause
from the American gunners by max
ing a bullseye hit on a barrel target
during the practice. On one occasion
the Americans made seven bullseyes
out of eight tries.

WANTS TO LEARN
THINGS; IN JAIL
Lebanon Girl Who Went to
Johnstown With Harris
burg Man Arrested

In the Johnstown prison is a
young woman, rather we'll dressed
and attractive, who fled from here
with D. A. Wonders. and doesn't
want her father and mother in Leb-
anon to know of her predicament.
But Mayor FRANKIE, of Johnstown,
has informed her that her father
will be notified and that he will be
asked to get her.
Marie O'Leary said that she left
home about three weeks ago, and
came to Harrisburg, where she met
d. Wonders and the.- came to this
city. Both were arrested on charges
of suspicion.
Marie said that she was twenty
years old, and she knew Wonders
was married, but that he had told
her he did not live with his wife.
Her parents knew she was here, she
said, but did not know her predica-
ment
Il have fine parents" said Marie,
"and l want to go back home"
you've had your experience, have
you?" inquired Mayor FRANKIE.
Yes" replied Marie, smiling
put anything; to go out into the
world"
Marie was in rather gay mood and
talked freely until Mayor FRANKIE
asked her if she had money to go
back home. She said she did not,
but she expected to work and earn
enough to go back. She was then
told that her father would be noti-
fed to send funds for her return.
Marie pleaded that no word be sent
to her parents. She didn't want them
to know. That will complete your
experience" said Mayor FRANKIE.
you've left broken heart in Leba-
non. Your poor old mother"
d. A. Wonders was taken back to
Lebanon yesterday by constable Will
liam A. Sattezehn, of that town, who
had warrant charging the young
man with desertion. The officer said
that he was born and reared in Leb-
anon but never knew Marie O'Leary.
Marie said she had been working in
a Bedford street restaurant.

TAFT HAS GROWN THIN

Even since the war, and espe-
cially since the famous peace-mes-
sage leak last winter, there has been
a fear among the high officials of
the government that some one is
going to get into their departments
and steal everything in sight.
AS a result, it is almost impos-
sible for an ordinary citizen and
some extraordinary ones to get into
the places of public business here
abouts. One needs a big charge of
dynamite to break his way into the
state, war and navy buildings, un-
less perchance he happens to be a
personal friends of Josephus DAN
iels or "Pansy' Baker.
The other day a rather large man
drifted up to the main entrance of
the building and with smile on his
face and nod to one or two persons
standing about started to so into the
sacred precincts.
A burly policeman stopped him
with a Hey, what do you mean go
ing in there? Have you got a pass 2"
why / mean no HARM" replied
the big man, still smiling, DO
need pass?"
You do" replied the officer, and
then pointing to another man add
ed: go over there and tell that
fellow your name and what you
want"
Wont it do just as we'll for me
to tell you? I'm w. H. Taft, former
secretary of war, later president of
the United States, and now a profess
sor at Yale"
The officer looked at him min
ute, decided to pass him, and then,
turning to another guard. asked:
WAS that Taft? 1 never saw
that guy around here before. -

LANE MAY QUIT
WILSON CABINET
Political Drive Seen in Attack
by Secretaries Baker and
Daniels

Washington. July "a political
drive to force Secretary Lane out of
the Cabinet and to arouse public dis
trust of the nations nien of business
who have offered their services in
mobilizing the industries" That is
the Judgment passed by friends of
the Secretary of the Interior on Sec
retary of War Bakers letter to Di-
rector Clifford, of the Council of Ma
tional Defense, which denounced the
tentative scale of prices agreed on
between the coal committee of the
council and the coal operators last
week.
1t can be stated with certainty that
Mr.. Bakers letter and the accom-
panying announcement by Secretary
Daniels that he was going to get
the cost" came as complete sur
prise TO Director Clifford; that Sec
retary Lane had no intimation that
the attack was forthcoming upon his
participation in the agreement, which
is the more pronounced because 1t
fails to mention him by name, and 1t
Is doubted whether President Will
son could have known about it OF
sanctioned it.
On behalf of Secretary Lane and
the Peabody Coal-Production Com
mittee of the Council of National De-
fense, it is noted that no attempt
had been made by them to fix a price
for coal which should appear to be
legal or binding until Congress
should empower some person or
board other than themselves to fix
legal price. They had not de-
parted one iota, it is stated, from
the proper function of the Council of
National Defense ana its advisory
commission to determine such meas
ures as may be practicable to stimu-
late production for the national
emergency, and the question of price
is bound up in the larger problem
of establishing greater output and
quicker distribution.
The maximum price of SO ton
for bituminous coal at the mines
might or might not be the price ul-
timately fixed, but meanwhile as a
provisional price below the market
standard II was offered to the depart
ments because the factor of time and
increased output are of overwhelm-
ing Importance to the speedy con-
duct of the war.
1t is freely predicted that an issue
is raised in the attack of the Score
taries of War and Navy on the action
by Secretary Lane and the coal-pro-
duction committee that must result
in Mr.. Lanes asking the President
either to vindicate his course or to
accept his resignation. Coupled with
this prediction is the assertion that
the attack is actuated by jealousy to-
ward a Cabinet member whose ad-
vice has hitherto been especially VAL
ued by President Wilson and who
has been especially strong in the
public estimation throughout the
country.

WILSON BACKED
DEFENSE FOE
Word Shows Gray, Praised by
President, Fought 20 Pre-
paredness Moves

Washington, July 2.-Declaring that
President Wilson's anxiety to brins
about the return of D, hocrat from
the Sixth Indiana district to succeed
the late Judge Comstock permitted
his regard for the faithful statement
of facts to be thrown into the dis
card" Representative Wood of Indi-
ana bitterly attacked to-day a letter
written by the President. In the let
ter the President asserted Finley H.
Gray had supported the administra-
tion during his previous service in the
House.
Gray was defeated in the primaries
by Judge Comstock. When the latter
died Gray ran against Representative
Elliott. the Republican candidate.
Gray had a notable record as an anti
preparedness man, pacifst and an
ff-the-reservation Democrat
President Wilson wrote to a friend
of Gray the following letter for cam
paign purposes, under date of June 10:
l am very glad indeed to reply
to your letter of June 15 that the
Hon. Finley H. Gray throughout
his membership in the House has
given the present administl alton
the most generous and cordial
support 1t would afford me the
greatest qualification to see him
return to the House of Represent
atives. Cordially and sincerely
yours, WOODROW WILSON.
Representative wood outlined from
the records nearly twenty votes and
speeches in which Gray had opposed
preparedness measures, in fact every
such measure advanced by the admin
istration during his services in the
House. Resuming. he said:
Since the declaration of war with
Germany, vast majority of the men,
bers on the Republican side or this
House have. unfailingly stood by the
administration in every step proposed
by it for the increase of the army and
navy and for the expenditure of vast
sums of money to accomplish the
same.
In the consideration of all these
great measures there has been found
an entire absence of partisanship or
any attempt to obtain party advan-
tage on behalf of the Republicans in
the House.
Not one of these measures could
have been passed had it depended for
its passage upon Democratic votes,
Notwithstanding the fact that the
Democrats have outnumbered the Re-
publicans in this House since this ses-
sion c: congress began.
I'm view of all this it is almost as
tonishing that the President should
find it necessary to write the letter he
did in behalf of the candidacy of Mr..
Gray. Especially is this letter as
founding in the light of the facts as
disclosed by the Congressional Record
to which l have alluded,
ut seems passing strange that the
absence of partisanship, so marked in
the House at present, cannot be emu
lated by the President of the United
States"
