SHIP PRODUCTION IN JUNE AMOUNTED
 ID 28O,OOO TONS
This Is New Record for One Month and Brings Total for Year 1918 to
 1,0S4,670

Washington, July 2.-Ship production in the United States in June amounted to 2S0 400 deadweight tons, making the total 1918 production to date 1,oS4,670 tons.
 The June production is a new record for the United States and is the greatest output of ean-going tonnage ever com It comes within 15,oO0 tons of the worlds record for shipbuilding made by the British shipyards in May, but which in- cluded all classes of vessels.
 Or the months output steel ships to- taled 262, 300 tons and wooden ships 17,500 tons. The number of vessels was not announced, as it was discovered that .eyerc. had been put into service so quickly after delivery that inspectors had not made reports on them to the ship ping boards statistical department. Ton mage figures were available from the di- vision of operations.
 Ar amazing growth in output was dis closed by detailed figures for the four weeks of June. In the first week six ships of 24, ,430 deadweight tons were de- livered, the second week 10 more of 64, ,732 tons were added, and in the third week the average for the month was made one day by the completion of five ships, totaling 61,260 tons. It was in the last week of the month, however, that the shipbuilders really hit their stride and gave evidence of the tremendous output which may be expected from now on. Deliveries in the last week totaled 129,9S tons which is at the rate of nearly 7,000, GOO tons a year.
 The same growth also has been shown from month to month. The output in June was three times that of January, which amounted to S8,507 tons.

Attorney General Blamed For
Defect in Indictments by
Judge Slate.

Jefferson City, Mo, March DE
Tending his refusal to reconvene the
special grand jury last November to
cure defects in indictments previously
returned in the State Penitentiary ce-
ment cases, Judge John G.. Slate of
the Cole County Circuit Court sharp
" criticised Attorney General Frank
w. McAllister while giving instruct
ions to new vvre county grand jury.
Slate asserted if the illegal depart
mcnt Of the state could not proper
ly prepare these indictments in nine
weeks, little if any improvement could
be hoped for in one-half days time
with a grand Jury"
The indictments were prepared by
one of McAllister's assistants. When
it was d;covered they were defective,
the special grand jury had concluded
its work had gone home, but had not
adjourned. McAllister requested judi
ge Slate to reccnvene the members of
the grand jury to cure the defects in
the indictments.
Attorney General McAllister said
tonight:
This makes twice Judge Slate has
called attention to the ignorance of
the attorney generals office.
"In his speech to the jury he over
looks the law and recent opinion of
the Supreme Court holding that the
attorney general was not in charge of
the Cole County cases, but was only
assisting.

ccuting attorney had failed to do"
