Capps and quit after about a weeks service, was due, MT. Donald said to the naval officer taking measures without consulting the board. Ad- moral Harris was succeeded by Charles Piez of Chicago, whose of five as vice president in charge of production was combined with that of general manager. The trouble be- tween Denman and Goethals MI. Donald said. appeared to be d diff ference in temperament and the ques- tion as to who was in supreme charge of the building program. The con" troversy, he said. delayed the ship building program and permitted more than q dozen ships to get away from the United States which might have been retained if the boards com mandeering order had been issued earlier.
 The new board commandeered con- struction week after it came into power, but the weeks delay cost the United States several ships. Asked why the order was held up MT. Donald said General Goethals was ready to issue it soon after power to do so was delegated by President Wilson but that it was postponed at the instance of MT. Denman.
 The committee appeared inclined to criticize the change in specifications of wooden ships The change, it de veloped, will reduce the cargo space of each ship by about roo tons, but will make the vessel more seaworthy.
 The boards policy respecting the building of ships for private account was explained at length by Chairman Hurley. who said the board was firm in it's stand against private construc tion of steel ships but was encourage ing wooden construction for private owners when their building would not interfere with the boards building plans.
 Doesn't your policy reduce con- struction?" Senator Harding asked
 No" MT. Hurley replied.
 We have enough contracts to keep all yards working at maximum ca pacity and the building of ships out side upsets the labor market, disrupts the delivery of materials and will not increase production"
 Asked how many vessels have been completed for which contracts were let by the board, MT. Hurley said only one had been finished. Forty : nine vessels, he said, have come from yards already established since con struction was comandeered August 3.
 MT. Hurley asked that the board s estimate of the number of ships to be turned out in 1918 be given in execu- stitute information of value to the

enemy. The estimates will be given tomorrow.
 When will the last ship called for on your program of S.000000 tons contracted for be delivered?' asked Senator Jones.
 "I cannot say" Mir. Hurley replied. That depends entirely on conditions. The first contract ship was finished a short time ago within 64 days after construction was begun. We are mak- ing every effort to speed up the yards and are meeting with gratifying sue cess in increasing labor shifts.
 'The fabricated steel ship construc ton when fully under way will give q tremendously increased produc- tion."
 When will these yards begin con struetion and how many of them are there?' MT. Hurley was asked.
 There are three" he replied. "ano one already is laying keels."
 Senators wanted to know particu larly if prospective builders seeking contracts had been discouraged by the management of the fleet corpora tion.
 Has your program moved forward as fast as it should and has all been done to speed up construction that

POSTOFF|CE TO
 OPEN ON SUNDAY

There will be special hours at the post office on Sunday, the authorities appreciating the demand upon the de- partment in the holiday season. From 9 until F o'clock noon, the general de- livery will be open as will the parcel post delivery and the stamp windows This will be the limit of. the Sunday service.
 The postoffice is doing the most phe- nominal business in it's history. The holiday trade will this year. amount to over S26,O00 as against $19,OOO for last year when the record is set. The increase in first class postage rate is not responsible for the big increase in total as there has been no jump in parcel post rates and it is upon parcel post work that the department largely depends for it's holiday revenue.
 In the registration division alone the increase in business has been about 70 per cent the most phenominal showing of all.
