MODIFICATION Of .
DESTROYER PLAN

The construction OF destroyers for
! the navy will wreSt nrst place in the
shipbuilding program from the
Secretary OF the Navy Dan
iels has ordered that the four
or ave OF the biggest yards shall
turn ell their energies toward COM
pleting the $50 new destroyers to be
built as soon as the vessels on the
stocks in these yards are launched
A storm OF protest has come from
shipping men all over the country on
account Of the order, II became known
today. They have pointed out TO Sec
retary Daniels that the best aims Of
the nation may not be served by max
ing the construction OF merchantmen
in any sense secondary to building
naval ships.
Daniels Stands Pat.
In spite Of these protests, Mr.. Dan
Iels has remained firm. He will in-
sist that his order be carried out
While the great capacity of the
yards affected Is utilized solely in
building vessels Of war, the shipping
men state, Great Britain will turn
her attention almost exclusively to
the construction of merchant ships.

determination Of the Secretary.
The $50 additional destroyers are 70

while Great Britain's shipbuilding ac-

has been pointed out to Mr.. Daniels,
II was learned today, that after the
war the United States will be saddled
with q huge feet OF destroyers and .
diminished feet Of merchant vessels
as a result OF the destroyer program,
while England will reap additional
dement's from her policy OF sticking
largely to building commercial
vessels.
Shipping interests are planning
further appeals. They frankly admit,
however, that they see little hope Of
changing the attitude OF Mr.. Daniels.
They maintain that so far as the
yards are concerned, there 10 no more
or no less pront In It for them In
building either type OF vessel. Their
attitude is dictated solely by eonsid-

find It inexpedient to violate, regard
less OF lack OF drastic action.
With the price at the mine and the
jobber's fee fixed by the President,
the price at which retailers obtain
coal can be pretty closely ascertained
by the public, as the freight rates
will be made known. The coal ad-
ministrator may indicate at later
date the profit which is believed to
be a fair one for the retailer.

DR.. Harry A. GARFIELD, who has al
ready taken up his duties as coal
controller, has announced that three
cardinal principles will be observed.
They are:
1. Fair treatment Of operators un-
der conditions which would stimu-
late production.
?. Fair treatment Of the jobbers,
with restrictions which would pre-
vent this branch of the trade taking
advantage of the retailer.
8. Fair treatment of the retailer,
with restrictions, II necessary, which
would prevent exorbitant profits.
Cut Into JobberH' Profits.
The prices fixed by the President for
coal at the mine are approximately
those which the operators agreed upon
Voluntarily in conference with the
FEDERAL Trade Commission some
months ago. The President, however,
IN naming 20 cents a ton for ship
ments east Of Buffalo. and 30 cents a
ton west OF Buffalo as the fee of the
3obber. Topped OF much OF the profits
these men had been accustomed to
make In many instances. The soft
coal jobbers' fee was limited to Is
cents q ton.
President Wilson also ruled that
only . single jobber's fee should be
charged, and that II the coal passed
through several agencies in shipment
from producer to retailer these
agencies must be satisfied to apportion
it among themselves. DR.. Garfield
said that he was in full accord with
this principle enunciated by the Pres
ident.
I'VE viii try" he said, ITO obtain
coal for the consuming public without
working undue hardship to any de-
partmsnt of the trade, and we believe
that much can be accomplished in this
direction. Just what reductions are
possible is q matter of conjecture; we
must nrst get our organization into
operation.
Could Compel JObberH.
TT is possible that a system of II.
eensinE will be adopted in order to
obtain complete control of the situa-
ZION IN the interests Of all, and this
may be done largely on the plan
worked out for the control of the
wheat supply. In this way we could
compel the jobbers TO accept the ruI-

LITTLE BOBB|E IS
 VOW CRDSSCUTTINC

Prosecuting has started at the Little Robbie to intersect the hanging wall which it is expected will be encoun- tered within 90 feet of the main tunnel The crosscut started this week is tc the east. Work in the main tunnel is also going forward without interrup- tion and as soon as this reaches a dis tance of 375 feet crosscutting will be begun to the north and west. The main tunnel is now in 290 feet. and going forward rapidly.
 All the rock that is coming from tho tunnel now is highly mineralized. anc officers of the company and mining men who have examined the workings, believe that when the ore bodies arc reached the values will be exception ally high. Opening recently of another ore body on the Ray Silver Lead be- tween the first shaft and the Little Robbie property is taken to be merely another indication of what is believed by many, that these properties are tapping one of the most highly min eralized mountains in Arizona.

Were Caught Netting Trout Brook ir

Division Chief Protector c. A
Johnston and Game Protectors Butler
and Teal broke up a little midnight
fishing party on the Hand brook, near
Pittstown, Tuesday night, and took in
to custody Olney Church, Sylvester
Church and Alvin Hall, Petersburgh
whom they found busily engaged in
netting the stream. The officials also
confiscated five bags of suckers which
the fishermen had taken from this and
the Cold Spring brook.
The prisoners were brought to this
village early Wednesday morning and
arraigned before Justice of the Peace
William Portman on the charge of
violating Section 176 of the State Con-
servation Law. The men pleaded
guilty. but claimed they were innocent
Of any intent of violating any law as
they thought they had right to take
suckers from any stream either with
hook or net.
The excuses offered by the fisher
men availed them little, however, as
the judge imposed a fine of $50 upon
each prisoner, and also gave them
scme sound advice regarding the fish
and game laws and the determination
of the state authorities to enforce
them. He also informed the men that
conviction of another offense of this
nature would bring upon the offender
more serious results. The men paid
their fines and departed for home
thoroughly convinced of the high cost
of living, particularly in regard to
fish that cost at least fifty cents
pound just for the pleasure of catch
ing and which after all the time,
trouble and money spent in the sport,
they were not allowed to keep for
their personal enjoyment.
Chief Johnston after communicating
with the Conservation Commission
sent goodly supply of the fish to the
commisary department of Company
X at the armory here, and sent the re
mainder to charitable institutions in
Troy. It is estimated that there
were about 900 pounds of fish in the
booty captured by the officers.-Hoo-

GARDENS FOR CHILDREN
Parents Asked % Provide Plots For
Children.
To bennington ParentS

To Bennington Parents:
Will yuo not make it possible for
your boy or girl 10 have a small plot
of ground for his very own to plant
and to cultivate? At the resuest of
the Governor the local Committee on
Food Production and Conservation
wishes to organize our Bennington
boys and and girls into a division of
the Green Mountain Guards.
Every child should help in the home
garden, but if he could have part
for his own both the product and edu-
cational value to himself would be
tripled The committee wishes to
organize the children into clubs with
their teacher or other adult to guide,
supervise and encourage. 1t is sug
gested that plots be rod square and
that the boys and girls do not try to
cultivate too many varieties.
To learn the culture of one veget-
able a session is well worth while.
Beans and crops that can be kept for
winter use ale recommended. All
crops belong to the producer. The
Importance of good seed can not be
accomplished and the committee
will obtain certified seed for any who
wish it,
From the 7th grade on the young
people will complete for the best rec
ords in quantity, quality and profit on
their crops. There will be an exhibit
in the fall and certificate from the
Governor to everyone who does we'll
The committee will endeavor to pro-
vide gardens for a1iyrone whose par
ents wish them to have one but who
have no suitable ground
Although the boys and girls may be
interested and the committee anxious
to help this plan will not be successful
without the cooperation of the par
ents. VIII you not assist and en-
courage your children that food pro
duction may be increased and life
long lessons of thrift learned? Will
you not attend at once to the filling
out of the cards which will be
brought to you today?
Yours for service.

servation on Production.
