new PROGRAM
WILL PROVIDE
WOODEN SHIPS
Shipping Board Changes
Plan for Construction That
Will Settle Controversy.

The Shipping Board has modified
its intention not to continue its
wooden ship program beyond its pres
ent program of engines and ma
chinery for the wooden ships. It
was announced last night that only
the 3,50O-ton Ferris type ship was
to be abandoned and a standard
4.700-ton wooden ship would con-
tinue to be built
This larger vessel conforms with
the contentious Of the Southern Pine
Association that such a ship can be
built without using the long timbers
required by the Ferris type of the
board. which mas been the subject
Of controversy and the cause of de-
lay in the wooden ship program to
date.
The board has just received a re-
Ort of an inspection Of the yards
Of the South and Southwest that
indicates a considerable increase in
efficiency. Especially favorable re-
port Is made of the yards at Or
ange and Beaumont, Texas. Predic-
tioR Is made OF New Orleans being

OF shipyards MADE available through
the building of a $3,j0O,OOO canal.
Board officials announced last night
that one of the five government ship
yards for the experimental concrete
ship program. for which sj0,eOO,OOO has
heen asked IN Congress. would be

DEATH VERDICT
PROPOSED FOR
ENEMY SPIES
Senator Chamberlain Intro
duces Drastic Law to Pun
ish Opponents Of U. S.

Enemies of Americas war ac-
tivities are to be classed as spies
tried by court-martial and suner
the death penalty under the proVi-
sions of a drastic anti-sedition Dill
introduced yesterday by Senator
Chamberlain. chairman OF the MIL
tary Affairs Committee.
Every person who attempts to IN
terfere in any way with the move
ment of troops, or with the opera
ton of military or naval forces,
and persons who openly espouse the
cause of Germany and publish false
statements about this country S
condition or preparations will be
punishable with death. Acts or
sabotage or the wilful destruction of
war material and property are also
included within the scope of the
proposed law.
Trials of all such cases will be
taken from the criminal courts and
given over ~ military and naval
courts-martiaL
So urgent is the demand for legis-
lation to inflict the extreme pun
ishment of the law upon persons
who have been committing medi-
tious acts that Senator Chamberlain
intends to make an effort to have
the bill given speedy consideration.
His committee will open hearings
on it today.
Senator Chamberlain said:
The time has come for the army
to deal with enemy activities. Con-
gress should grant the army and navy
all the authority necessary to give
them Jurisdiction over every attempt
at enemy propaganda.
The moral effect of one man ar
rested and tried by a court mar
tiaI would be worth more than
hundred men tried by the Department
of Justice in any of the criminal
courts. The fact that persons ar
raigned in the courts are able to get
bail alone makes the courts unsuited
for the trial of cases Of this char
acter."
The penalty to be meted out to such
persons is prescribed in the bill as
follows:
Trail by general court martial
or by a military commission of the
army. or by a court martial of the
navy. and on conviction thereof. shall
suffer death or such other punishment
as said general court martial or mill
tary commission or court martial shall
direct"

All Interruptions
Of War Industries

Is the ballot more powerful than
the bullet?
Senator Mccumber, OF South Da-

He said so yesterday in the de-
bate on the conference report on
the sabotage bill. The differences
drawn by Senator Hollis, Of New
Hampshire, brought out the re-
mark.
'Our boys In France" said Sem
ator McCumber, ARE facing leaden
bullets in order that we at home
may still enjoy our liberty. Is
there a Senator here who Is afraid
OF a paper ballot-so afraid that
he hesltates to do something that
will help our boys in the trenches

SYSTEM MAY
BECOME LAW
House District Committee
Report Urges Passage as
War Measure.

"A war measure"
So states the report OF the House
District Committee on the two-pla.
toon system for nremen in the Dis
trict OF Columbia, submitted TO this
House yesterday by Representative
Van Dyke. of Minnesota. The bill
IL fayorably reported and its speedy
enactment is urged in the report.
Little Difficulty to Pass.
The bill when it becomes a law
will be carried with the District
appropriations bill sponsored by
Representative Sissons, Of Missis-
sippi. a member Of the District Com
mittee. Because il will add materially
to the safety OF the government in
wartime, as well as private property
and the population OF the District
he will support 1t. said Representa-
tive Van Dyke.
Judging from resent indications,
the bill will have very little difi-
Guilty in passing, considering the fact
that Congress as whole Is anxious
to speed up on all legislation hav-
ing anything al all TO do with the
conduct Of the war II necessary,
Chairman johnson. OF the District
Committee, is prepared TO ask for
A special rule on this bill. giving
1t preferential consideration on sc-
count OF the vast quantity OF valua-
bic records connected with war work
which must ne given more adequate
protection.
The report points out that under
the continuous duty system a fire
man is on duty ninety-six hours con-
tinuously night and day and then
receives twenty-foUr hours off duty.
But 81 some other member Of his
company is off duty on account OF
sickness or any other reason, he will
lose his rest period and be on duty
faS 1872 hours continuously. Should
two men be off duty none can get off
for his regular twenty-four hour rest
period.
Would increase EfheIescy.
Under the two-plstoon system a
fireman will be permitted one-haIf OF
his time off duty. One shift would
be. under this system. at rest all the
time, while the other half remained
on duty to respond TO calls. In case
Of a big fire the off-shift would be
of course called 10 duty immediately.
but that il not an everyday affair
judging from the records of the Fire
Department
on the whole. Representative Van
Dyke regards the two -pla toon system
as the scientific adjustment Of the
fire force serving two purposes First,
using the fire apparatus to the Ut
most capacity, thereby decreasing
the expense OF purchasing additional
apparatus. Second. permitting the
members OF the deps more
time off duty which will make a far
more contented and efficient personel
