MAYOR URGES USE
OFDRY DOCKS HERE
Suggests That Government
Operate or Supervise Two
in New York.
NEEDED FOR SHIP REPAIR
Murray Hubert Warmly In
dorses Plan for 1900 Foot
Plant at Navy Yard.

Referring to the advertisement OF the
United States Shipping Board that II
Is prepared to sell several wooden dry
docks Of 10000 tons lifting capacity
that are now in the process of con-
struction, Mayor Hylan yesterday wrote
to the board:
ut seems to me that at least two of
these docks should be located at the
port OF New York and that the owner
snip or the same should be retained
by the United States Government II
1t Is decided that the Government should
not operate these dry docks in connec-
ton with ship repair plant, then
believe that these docks should be
leased or rented to responsible parties
that will do the work at reasonable
prices under the control of a repre-
sentative Of the United States Govern
ment.
The city administration is trying to
do all in its power to accommodate
shipping In this port, and the United
states Government should have control
over snip repair plants in order TO
check the exorbitant prices now being
charged by ship repair plants in this
port
Murray Hubert, Commissioner of
Docks and Ferries, said last night he
oid not wish to take away from his for
mer colleagues In Congress the credit
for having initiated the plan for re-
placing the 700 foot timber dry dock at
the navy yard with a 1900 foot dock.
Mayor Hylan. who had been invited to
cooperate, designated Commissioner HUI
bert as his representative. He called
on Secretary Daniels of the Navy De-
partment this week with a delegation
headed by Representative James II.
Maher. The Secretary showed the great
est sympathy for the proposition Mr..
Hubert said
Now that the United States has
taken over the North German Lloyd and
the Hamburg American Line steamships
and have made New York the home port
II is essentially true that we should
have dock here that will accommodate
these vessels" added Mr.. Hubert.
AS matter of fact there have been
times when 1t was extremely desirable
to dock White Star and Cunard liners
In New York, but 1t was necessary to
send them across the ocean in ballast,
and during the war 1t was necessary
to dock the Leviathan IN England.
There would be a great advantage In
coating 1900 foot dry dock in the navy
yard for the reasons:
II. New York is the greatest labor
market in the world.
"2. This dock would be needed a good
part OF the time for the accommodation
OF Government vessels. but at other
times 1t could be utilized to accommo-
date commercial vessels, thus affording
the navy an opportunity to keep the
working organization intact. which, after
all, is an economic necessity and at
the same time would afford the navy an
opportunity to minimize the expensive
maintenance for governmental pur-
poses"

Weber Innocent, Says Ahnelt.
| William P. Ahnelt, president of the
| Pictorial Review Company. issued the
| following statement last night:
II have talked with Mr. Weber since
the proceedings OF this afternoon, and
| am convinced that he Is absolutely
| innocent of the charge made against
| him.
1T is a fact that for about three weeks
| two agents OF the Internal Revenue De-
| partment have been examining the books
| and accounts of the Pictorial Review
| Company, a COuTS0 WHICH 1
| is followed as to all business houses
which are liable to Federal taxes. These
| agents were given full access to all OF
| the company's records without the
| slightest reservation.
1.-THE only criticisms made by them
were, I am informed, as to one or two
| technical matters presenting legal ques-
! tions. The company had acted as to
| these matters under the advice of coun-
| sci in preparing its report. and Its books
| show fully the complete transactions.
| I have no doubt but that in these par
| tculars as in all others the correctness
| of the company's returns will be sus-
tanned. In any event they could not
| give rise to any legitimate claim OF
! fraud or misdoing of any kind.
ut is needless for me TO say that no
| officer of the Pictorial Review Company
| has al any time or in any shape or
manner been party to any attempt to
influence improperly any official of the

Small, but Strongly Built.

Petersen Is little man but is
strongly built. Though he Is well into
middle age his wide shoulders, erect
carriage and long steps suggest the
strength and physical agility OF youth.
His head is of square cast and big The
lines of his face are straight except for
\ stubby nose. Eyes that are keen and
bright and a neatly clipped mustache of
Jet black are the conspicuous features
His skin has been darkened to swarthi-
ness by wind and water. His whole
makeup is one that would suggest the
strength and determination of tho man
whose evident pride showed when his
counsel caused him to tell how he ran
the bark Challenger In 1907 1000 miles
and on to beach at Japan all the way
with fire in her hold.
Certainly he holds no high opinion OF
the seamen OF these days. In speaking
of Hansen, about whom he made no COM
plants except as such as were in quota
lions from other seamen. he said: "He
was an average seaman for nowadays.
could not call him an Al seaman, but
average good. He was the best seaman
we had on the ship"
The captain was not a wholly satisfy
ing witness. With a crowded courtroom
as silent as, church waiting for his
words he made not the slightest effort
to capitalize his opportunity to tell his
story In romantic fashion. 1t was too
evident that the gift of yarn spinning
had never been his, His lawyer had
fairly to drag details from him. Hil
voice had a way OF dribbling into a low
tone that made his words inarticulatt
to the jurors He speaks English with a
trace of Scandinavian accent.
In trying to tell of the conspiracy to
kill him he paused helplessly and re-

him to come down in the galley at a

CHANGES WROUGHT BY WAR
Many Things Have Been Brought to

Quite number Of things have hap

war which never happened before. No
British king had ever passed under
Napoleon's Arc de Triomphe until
King Georges recent visit to Paris.
No British army had before helped to
defend France against an invader.
British and Prussian troops had never
previously tried conclusions. Never
before the war had armies from India,
America. Canada, Australia, New Zea-
land or South Africa landed in Europe.
Until Mr.. Wilson. no 'reigning
president of the United States had
crossed the Atlantic during his term
of office, though ex-presidents have

Jerusalem. Damascus and Basdad
had never before been captured by
modern European armies. nor had
British . soldiers ever previously
marched through Mesopotamia. The
British flag is the first standard Of
Christian nation to float over; Con-
stantinople as that of a. conqueror
since the taking Of the city by the
Turks over four centuries ago. No
king of Prussia had ever lost his
throne or been driven into exile be-
fore: and no war. had ever brought
misfortune on so many rulers or leo
