1t is practically assured that the
site of the jamestown Exposition,
Which fronts on the broad spread of
the lower Chesapeake Bay known as
Hampton Roads, is to be taken over
by the. national government and de-
veloped as the main training station
for the United States Navy. The
joint conference committee of Con-
gress has agreed upon the purchase
of this site, and Secretary Daniels
has ordered the immediate survey of
the area and it is expected that by
the Fourth of July there will be 5000
and possibly 10000 of the newly re-
cruited men in training at the sta
ton.
The exposition site will meet the
needs of the Navy as the main train
ing station for recruits, ideally. The
government has already invested
about S2.000,000 at this location in
the construction of a great concrete
pier that extends far out into the
Bay. There is at least two miles of
shore line along with a large, beauti-
fully wooded tract that extends bacI;
from the Bay. There are several

State Officials Oppose Destruction OF
$4,000 Worth of Liquor Now
Greatly Needed

Since the prohibition law went in.
to effect in Virginia many people
have suggested that the confscated
liquor should not be poured into sew
ers, but that some other dispositions
should be made of the stimu-
lants. Since November /, 1916, a
considerable quantity of liquor has
been seiezd by the Alexandria police,
which has been poured into the sewer
at the station house. Many people
from the first regarded this as a
wanton waste of an article that
could be used in some proper manner
by the authorities of the state.
The authority for saving to the
State each year $4,000 worth of al
cohol, confscated by virtue of the
prohibition act and dumped into the
gutter in accordance with a provis-
ion of the same law, though it is
invaluable for munition- making pur-
poses, is vested solely in the judges
of Virginia courts, according to an
opinion forwarded yesterday to Gov
ernor Stuart by Assistant Attorney
General Leslie C. Garnett. "
The "unwarranted waste" of war
material in war times was brought to
attention to Alexander Forward, sec
retary to the Governor, by Judson C.
Dickerman, engineer of the State Cor
poration Commission, who suggested
that, if prevented by the prohibition
law, the Governor "stretch a point"
to have confscated liquor preserved
until the Legislature meets next year.
1t is his idea for the General Assem-
bly, so to amend the law as to allow,
all seized whiskey to be converted to
government use for the manufacture
of munitions.
The suggestion met with the ap-
proval of Commissioners of Prohibi-
tion ]. Sidney Peters, who said he
would welcome an amendment pro-
viding for the extraction of alcohol
from confiscated ardent spirits and
the sale Of the distilled product from
the seat of government. He knows
of no way, he says, in which the
,present law, providing for the de-
struction of unlawful whisky, can
be overridden.
The Assistant Acknowledgement is
of the opinion that the Governor has
no authority under the law to re-
verse the order of the court in any
given case directing the destruction
of liquor which has been seized for
violation of the prohibition law, but
believes the judges may withhold the
order for destruction until the Leg
islature has time to act. -.

John Smith, but he was recognized
by the sergeant. who entered him on
the docket under his proper name.
Spence declared he removed the
fixtures from the house to prevent
some boys he saw playing in the
street in the afternoon from stealing
them. He said he offered the police
man money for his release so he
could return home and comfort his
wife who might be worried over his
absence.
