Short of Funds Wants
Se,o00,00o to Repair Ships.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 23.-Replying
TO message from the Massachusetts
senate expressing its concern over the
reported intention of the navy depart
ment to discontinue certain work at
the Boston navy yard with n resultant
discharge of many employees, Secretary

of funds had necessitated reduction of

have been received from other sources
All of these, it is understood, will b,
