PLANNING LARGE j
|CUT IN NAVY YARD FORCE

Unqualified denial was made today
by Rear Admiral Grant. commandant
of the navy yard. and Rear Admiral
Earl. chief of naval ordnance. of re-
ports to the effect that heavy and
wholesale reductions were to be made
in the force of about 1000 men en-
ployed at the navy yard. Both stated
the rumors, which had gained wide
circulation, were entirely without
foundation.
Because of the failure of Congress
as yet to pass the measure providing
a deficiency appropriation of S9,0OO,0o0
for repairs to warships at various
navy yards the rumor of wholesale re-
ductions in the forces at the Wash
ington yard gained wide circulation.
one report being TO the effect that %
per cent of the machinists and 20 per
cent of the molders were to be laid on
today or tomorrow. Rear Admiral
Grant, in making his denial of the re-
ports said the Washington yard was
not repairing any ships at present
and therefore was in no way affected
by the failure of Congress to pass
the emergency appropriation bill for
ship repairs He stated positively that
no reductions in the navy yard forces
are even contemplated at this time.
Secretary Daniels said today that
he still has hope that Congress will
pass the deficiency appropriation
measure. Otherwise, he said. several
valuable ships will have to be scrap
ped and about 1900 mechanics and
other workmen at various navy yards
will have to be discharged.

| exactly how much is being expended in
salaries.

LEAGUE ISSUE AT POLLS.
Unusual Interest in Election in
Third Missouri Congress District,

EXCELSIOR SPRINGS, Mo-. February
14.-Unusual interest centered on the
special congressional election today
in the third Missouri district because
of the prominence given the league
of nations issue in the several weeks
campaign for selection of a successor
to Joshua w. Alexander, now Secre-
tary of Commerce.
Speakers Of national prominence in
series of addresses urged support
for Capt. j. L. Milligap, the demo-
cratic nominee. because of his espousal
of the league idea. while leading
republicans attacked the league of
nations and sought to have elected
John E. Frost, an avowed opponent
of the league covenant as written
: The district normally is democratic
and there was much speculation as to
what effect on the straight party vote
the league issue would have.
Leaders on both sides early today
expressed confidence in the result OF
the election.
