Completed plans for the. construc.

cussed at an early meeting OF the
Washington Athletic Club. The date
for the meeting will be set at an early
conference Of the advisory board.
The club will file its application for
a charter within a few days. This
application has been held up in order
to allow applicants for membership
to sign. The names of applicants be-
fore the executive committee last
week have been held over to this
week.
No married man with an income of
less than 81 500 a year and no single
man with an income of less than
$1,000 a year will be admitted to MEM
bership. This is one OF the rules
which the executive committee con-
siders as hard and fast as the rock
OF ages. The reason for this ruling is
that the initiation fee OF 500 and the
annual dues OF $50 would be consid-
cred too much OF a drain upon the
man earning less than the salary men

PLANS WARSHTP TO
COST $5O,OOO,OOO
Daniels Recommends Construc-
ton Of Five 80,000-Ton
Super Dreadnaughts.

For cost of $25O.oOO. 900 the
United States navy could construct
division OF monster battIeships
which would make British super
dreadnaughts of the Queen Elizabeth
type insignificant in size and effect.
iveness.
The outline OF these American ships
is given in a report from the Navy
Department to Congress, pursuant to
a provision in the naval sppropria-
tion act of August &c, 1916, which
asks in effect what are the limita-
tions of size of battleships which
could be cared for in docks and har-
bors of the United States, and which
could at the same time pass through
the Panama canal?'
The Navy Departments answer is
that the maximum battleship would
have a displacement of $4,000 tons,
a length of 975 feet, beam los feet,
full-load draft thirty-four feet, and a
main battery of fifteen 1S-inch guns
in FIVE triple turrets. The secondary
battery would consist OF twenty-one
6-inch guns, and the ship would have
four 21-inch torpedo tubes. Her main
armor would be 16 inches thick, her
speed 25 knots. and her radius of ac-
tion 1900 miles at cruising speed.
Her cost would be S50,OOO,OOO.
"In regard to the desirability OF
building one or more such vessels
says Secretary Daniels, there can, of
course, be no question that, ship for
ship, such vessels would be OF greater
military value than battleships of the
present size. A single such vessel,
however, would not be OF great value
TO the United States navy, as it would
not be suited to act in unison with
the other major units Of our feet. To
develop the value of such a vessel
it would be necessary to lay down not
less than i've"
Mr.. Daniels explains how the size
OF bsttleship construction is limited
as follows:
THE limitations on a vessel, such
as indicated by the language OF the
bill as quoted above, are the over all
dimensions. The locks of the Panama
canal, which have a length of 1000
feet. a breadth of 11O feet, and a draft
on sill of 40 feet, must first be con-
sidered."

TO RUSH WORK ON
DEFENSE OF CANAL
Fertilization and Submarine
Protection for Panama Given
Urgent Attention.

Rush work, designed to give more
effective protection to the Panama
canal against hostile attack, is be-
ing carried out by the War Depart
ment and the Navy Department.
Besides speeding up fortihcation
work at the entrance OF the canal.
Secretary Baker has called upon the
military authorities in the canal zone
for a report OF exposed strategic points
which might be subject to aircraft
attack. Secretary Daniels has au-
thorized a plan for making q more
elaborate submarine base either At
Colon or Panama.
The canal Is now guarded by sub
marines OF the c type, but the Navy
Department has decided to reinforce
these craft with the seven N boats.
besides o boats, which will soon be
delivered to the Government.
A joint army and navy board has
threshed out this highly important
defense problem has reported as fol-
lows:
Submarines are an essential ele-
ment of the defense of the Canal
Zone and the canal itself In their
present stage OF development they con
situte such threat that close DOCK
ade Is recognized to be impracticabln
in this day and that alone would suf.
flee to justify their inclusion In the
scheme OF defense.
Secretary Baker proposes to install
eight anti-aIrcraft guns on the Canal
Zone at once. There are two types OF
gun to be used. one on fxed and one on
mounts.
In this connection-and In connection
with the general military plan to defend
the oanal-it is pointed out that Presi-
dent Wilson's plan to have the Colon
bian treaty ratified may be important
The President. acting on the advice OF
military authorities. desires particularly
to have the United States on the most
friendly relations with countries in close
proximity to the canal to avoid posi-
bility Of hostile base being established
within their borders.

Of the House will be available for
clerk hire, and various branches OF
the Government will be forced to de-
vote a large part of their energies
to the collection OF the information
needed in the preparation OF q tarirl
bill.
But the Republicans are strongly
disposed to have a tariff bill which
the party in the House and out OF 1t
can support, and they want that bill
ready to be dropped into the hopper"
at the commencement Of the next
regular session.

G. 0. P. TARIFF BILL
PLANNED IN HOUSE
Republicans Ready to Foot Ex'
penSes of Probe Them
selves.

A representative Republican tariff
bill. to be prepared by experts and
in the light of exhaustive investiga-
tion, virtually has been decided upon
by tariff leaders in the House,
whether private citizens have to foot
the bills or not.
II the Republicans fail to organ.
ize the House before December, II is
considered almost certain that the
summer will be spent by Congress
man Joseph Fordney, ranking min
ority member of the Ways and Means
Committee, and a large corps of ex-
perts and assistants in the prepara-
tion of such a bill.
A fund wholly adequate for the
purposes will be subscribed largely
by members of the House.
100000 Already Offered.
For this purpose it is understood
that upward OF 100000 already has
been offered, largely from weIl-to-do
New York members.
The suggestion first came from q
New York group. including Congress-
men Fairchild, Gould, Dunno, Parker.
Smell. and others. This proposal was
taken up by other Republicans and
further offers of financial assistance
were advanced.
1t is said Congressman Longworth,
OF Ohio; Mckinley and Madden, OF
Illinois, and Fordney of Michigan
offered to advance money on their
own account and to interest other Re-
publican members.
1t was suggested that to pass the
hat around outside the Republican
membership OF the House would be
to lay the finished bill open to un-
fair attack. This seemed to carry a
good deal OF weight with those who
have discussed the proposition.

Nonsectarinn Meeting.
Like the Gypsy Smith. jr., services
these meetings will be non-sectarian,
and the Washington public has been
invited to attend.
DIR. Gray, it is stated, is an interest
ing speaker, and, although his method
is different from that OF Gypsy Smith,
his results are always marked. His
talks will be given each day, one in
the afternoon at 3 o'clock and another
in the evening, beginning at 8 o'clock.

Sold For Inaugural.
The tabernacle contains something
more than 5000 seats. These have
already been sold by the contractor
for the building to inaugural stand
contractors. The seats will be moved
from the tabernacle directly down to
Pennsylvania avenue, where they will
be put on one OF the stands.
There were $4,000 square yards of
tar paper used in the construction of
the building. and ten big iron stoves
heated the building. The tar paper
and the stoves have also been sold.
One OF the interesting questions
which confronted the committee in
charge OF the tabernacle was, What
are we going to do with the Wash
ington for Christ sign?"
Pastor To Keep IL.
This big motto, painted on a sign
which extended nearly from one side
of the tabernacle to the other, was
hung up in the rear OF the rostrum. The
sign was owned by the preachers
and not by the contractors.
ate in the extreme, and the pastors
have decided to keep II.
But just what they will do with II
is still a question. 1t has been sug-
gested that the sign be placed at
some prominent place on Pennsylvania
avenue, in order to keep 1t constantly
before the eyes OF the Washington
public. Another suggestion is to do
nate the sign to the Sunday school
which has done the best work during
the year, while another plan is to
keep the sign for Billy Sunday next
year.

The preacher then related an Incl.
dent OF when forty or more Gypsies
were caught in a raging stream.
How they struggled to get out! In
this raging torrent there was a boy
struggling for his life and amid his
struggling he saw his mother strug-

her arms about him, pinioning them
to his side so that he could do moth

himself and tried to save her, but she
caught him again. Again he freed
himself and reached out to grasp her,

Protestant Churches Decide Not
to Let City Forget Gypsy
Smith Campaign.
BAPTIST PLAN DROPPED
Proposal to Buy Tabernacle
confronts Too Many Difficult
ties, Say Preachers.

Washington will not be allowed to
forget the campaign of Washington
for Christ" which has been carried
on here for the last month under the
leadership of Gypsy Smith, jr., and
the Presbyterian Churches OF the city.
Baptist, Methodist. and Presby-
terians are going to cooperate in
keeping fresh in the minds of the
public the doctrines which the young
evangelist has been hammering home
for the last four weeks.
Plan Dropped.
The Baptist Churches OF the city
considered buying the tabernacle as
it stood, obtaining the services of an
evangelist, and for another month
holding services there. But the diff
ficulties which would be met by such
an action were too great, it is stated,
to be overcome within such a short
time, and the plan was given up at
the last minute.
But in practically all the Protestant
churches of the city ministers are 60
ing to follow up" Gypsy Smiths
work, by holding in their churches
evangelistic services Of their own.
These services, it is stated, will be
under the direction of the pastors of
the churches, and although alb comers
will be welcomed they will be prI-
marily for the good OF the congrega-
tions.
Plans Not Settled.
The exact plans for these services.
however, have not been arranged.
The attention OF all ministers in the
city is now turned toward the Bible
conference, which will begin here
March IL and last a week.
The conference will be under the
direction of DR.. Jesse Gray, OF the
Moody Bible Institute, of Chicago.
Coming as 1t does on the heels of the
revival services of Gypsy Smith, the
conference is expected to do a great
good in making a Washington for
Christ"
The services are to be held in the
Mt. Vernon Methodist Episcopal
Church, Ninth street and Massachu-
setts avenue northwest, and will be

COLBURN'S
REMOVAL IS
NOW SOUGHT
Master C. S. Davis in Report
ing on KaWananakoa Estate
requests Accounting, En-
phasizing $40, 1000 Disparity

Following closely in the wake OF
preliminary litigation seeking to have
John F.sColburn appointed temporary
administrator of the estate of the
late Queen Liliuokalani, comes a rec
concentration by C. s. Davis, master,
that Colburn be removed as trustee
of the estate of David K. and Helen
Liliuokalani Kawananakoa, minors.
The report of the master, which has
been file din circuit court, is an
amended one on the second, third,
fourth, fifth and sixth annual &C.
counts of Colburn, filed by him on
July 10, 1917, and covering the Pc
Rod from February s, 1911, to Decem-
Der 81, 1916. Among other things, the
amended report says that accounts
filed on December 10, 1909, we're ap-
proved with fmall correction and
the trustee ordered to file bond Of
$1,000 So far as the clerks records
show, the amended report continues,
this bond has never been filed.
In conclusion the master recon.
mends that Trustee Colburn be given
reasonable time within which to file
a proper inventory Of all the property
that has come into his hands or un-
der his control at any time as such
trustee; that Colburn be removed and
that some suitable person, firm or cor
poration, preferably a trust company.
be appointed under sufficient bond to
act as trustee in the matter. It is
also recommended by Mr.. Davis that
Mr.. Colburn be required to promptly
pay over to the new trustee the full
amount of money with which he may
be properly charge according to ha
accounts.
According to the findings Of the
