MILLIONS
GOING TO
US. YARD
BY ellison Gardner

WASHINGTON, Feb. en- ap-
propriating s12,O00,000 to equip
government navy yards with ma
chinery to build battleships, the
house committee on naval affairs
has taken notable step forward.
Secretary Daniels urged this ap-
preparation. He was compelled to
do so by the attitude of private
ship builders who had not been
willing to accept the government
prices for hulls, armor and guns.
The naval appropriation bill
also adds 100000 to the $780,
100000 last year appropriated for
the four new battle cruisers. The
builders want about $16,O00,000
apiece for hull and machinery to
undertake these cruisers.
With previous appropriations
there is available now Is millions
for equipping government navy
yards.
The secretary will use this
money as rapidly as it can be used
to advantage in making 1t possible
for Uncle Sam to build his own
battleships. Private companies
will have plenty to do in addition
to what the government will do.

HOLLOW LOG
NEAR DOCKS

Believed to be part of the OK
plosives purchased in 1915 by
Lewis J. Smith, confessed agent
of German Consul Bopp in San
Francisco, 35k sticks of dyna-
mite were found Monday after
noon hidden in hollow log on
the cliff behind the Puget Sound
FIGURING Mill on the waterfront.
II. C.. Thompson, 1909 X ST.,
who made the discovery, reported
It at once to police headquarters.
Detectives Osborne and Kincaid
dropped the dynamite sticks, one
by one, into the bay.
The explosive had been care
fully protected from the weather
with a roof of boards over it. Be-
cause of it's long exposure to the
air. the nitro-glycerine had oo,ed
through the paper covering of the
tubes, making it unusually dan
gerous to handle.
Smith lived in Tacoma for a
short time In the spring of 1915,
and purchased quantities of dyna-
mite, with which he was under or
ders to blow up munitions ships
in Tacoma harbor, according to his
confession from the witness stand
in San Francisco recently. Po-
lice say that the explosive had
been hidden too long to have any
connection with a possible dyna-
mite plnt growing ont of mpri-

DRY
BILL HAS
IT EASY
(SpeciaI to The Times. }

OLYMPIA, Feb. 6.-The Halsey
bone dry bill, which passed the
house yesterday, is practically GER
tain of a safe voyage through the
senate also.
A census of the senators appears
to show a safe majority In its
favor.
However, to take care of the
booze situation in the state during
the time which may elapse In case
the measure is referred, the john
son not-so-dry bill has been report
ed out favorably today by the pub
lie morals committee of the sem
ate.
An attempt will be made to put
it through ahead of the Halsey
bill.
The purpose of the Johnson bill
is to throw rigid restrictions about
the permit system and to prevent
abuses that have appeared in the
past.
Emergency.
It carries an emergency clause
which would make It operative
early in March, continuing In OPP
Grafton for about two months I'M
til the bone dry law takes effect,
or still longer, in case the bone
dry law Is referred.
It prohibits the issuing of per-
mits to any person under 25 years
old, requires detailed descrip-
ton of the person who obtains a
permit, for purposes Of Identified
ton, as well as a sworn statement
when a permit is issued.
Limit Is Quart.
1t limits the amount of spiritu-
GUS liquor that may be obtained
within a 20-day period to one
quart instead of two as at present.
The bill also absolutely pro-
hibits the sale of alcohol by drug
stores, except under special per-
nit, showing that it is for chemi-
cal or hospital purposes, and 1t
prevents physicians from issuing
prescriptions for alcohol.
1t also limits permits to persons
who are citizens of the U. 8. and
residents of the county in which
the permits are issued.
