BACK BALLOTS WITH BuLLETS!"
Edu'in '. Earl Publisher
 Express Dies

LOS ANGELES, Jan. 2.-Edwin T. Earl, owner and publisher of Los Angeles Evening and Sunday Express, and well known in Cali forna financial circles, died at his home here late today.
 MT. Earl was sixty years of age and a native of California. Heart trouble was assigned as the cause for death.
 Before engaging in the news paper business, MT. Earl had amassed a fortune estimated at several millions of dollars in the fruit industry. He was one of the first to seriously consider ship nent of California fruits to the east, and in furtherance of this enterprise he invented the first combination ventilator- refrigerator car for the transportation of fruit. He founded the Earl Fruit com pany, which developed into one of the principal fruit shipping con cerns inthis state. Later he or ganized the Continental Fruit Express, private car line, for the handling of fruits and perishable vegetables.
 He retired from the fruit busi- ness in 1900, but retained large in terests in vineyards and orchards in many parts of California. He is survived by his widow, three sons, and a daughter.

HIGH COST OF SHIP
 BUILDING STACGERS
 HOUSE COMMITTEE
Completion Of 1916 Program Means Increase Of $150,-
 000,0 ,000-Daniels Demand Too Big Problem To Solve

WASHINGTON, Jan. 2.-War con ditions have brought about an enor- nous increase in the cost of building warships, Rear Admiral Taylor, chief of the bureau of construction and re- pairs, told the house naval committee today, in discussing the 1920 naval ap- propriation bill. He estimated that the hulls and machinery of the ten battle ships and six battle cruisers, author ized in 1916, would cost nearly sl50,- 0O0,000 more than estimated-an in- crease of almost fifty per cent.
 Admiral Taylor said he did not think it was likely that the end of hostilities would result in any speedy reduction in costs. After the civil WAT, he said there was no appreciable lowering of costs of labor and materials within three years.
 The battleship Mississippi Ca new ship delivered last year) was built on contract for $7,115,00O,' the admiral said, but the company which built il lost a large sum of money, and when bids on the battleships California and Tennessee were asked for, no con tractor submitted a bid under the es- timated cost of S7.S00.00O. The gov ernment then decided to build them 1T it's own navy yards. and the most vii amount to probably s11.250,000 each an increase of 43 per cent over tht estimated cost.
 1916 Program Costly One
 The same increase will apply prob ably to capital ships authorized in tn, 1916 three-year program. For the ter battleships and six battle cruisers pro vided in this program, 1 imagine thu increase will amount to nearly Sf50, 0,000. This applies to the hulls ana machinery alone. I would not venture to say how much the increase will b. for the armor and armament, but will make inquiries and let the com mittee know
 Admiral Taylor said the cost of con structing merchant ships has increaset from $I5 to $200 a ton, while the cos of battleships has increased less thai 50 per cent. This has been accomp lished, he said, by exercising the great est economy possible in the govern ment navy yards, and by close super visinO in private yards which ar building battleships on the cost plus l basis.
 The original estimates for the bat tleships Colorado, Maryland, Washing ton and West Virginia, on which con struction has been started.'' Admira Taylor said was s11, ,500,00O. It i doubtful if they can be completed fo less than $15,550, 900. ~ New Schedule Problem

NEW YORK, Jan. 2.-The milk fam inc which began today, as the result of the dairymen's league strike" to enforce price of $4.01 per 100 pounds. is a serious menace to the public health and if it continues will imperil every family in the city, Health Com missioner Copeland declared in tes- quiry into the milk situation.
