BARGES TO BE BUILT IMMEDIATELY
Construction Work to Be Car
ried On With Present Force,
1t is Announced.
FOUR ARE FOR MEXICO
Two of the Barges Will Be Used
at New Orleans and Others

Contracts for the construction of six
new steel barges have been signed by

barges at once. Captain Paul P. Stew
art announced yesterday afternoon. The
contracts for four of the barges were
signed yesterday morning and the con-
tracts for the other two were signed

the new contracts will add materially to
the force of the men now employed by
the shipbuilding company, but the pres
ent force will be kept busy and the big
plant will be kept running full time
for several weeks.
The two contracts signed last week
are from the Alexander Coaling COM

coal barges. They will be of about 600
ton capacity and will measure 135 feet
in length by about 30-foot beam Work
will be started on these two barges at
once and delivery is to be made with
in 80 days. Practically all the material
that will be used in these two barges
is already on the ground.
The other four steel barges are being
constructed for a Tampico oil company

WOULD JAIL OFFENDERS
(6y Associated Press)

WASHINGTON, Jan. 31-Prohibi-
tion leaders in congress are hoping to
tighten up the Volstead law.
They are planning new legislation
to provide a flat Jail sentence for the
first offense of selling liquor, without
giving the courts the optional right
of imposing a fine. Other changes
being discussed among the prohibition
leaders related to the search and
seizure clause so as to reach the home
brew and to make more sweeping the
present law under which a person
buying liquor may be punished equal
ly with the person selling it. Confis-
cation of every drop of liquor held by
citizens, regardless as to why or when
it was acquired. also is beir-; urgel.
This would legalize seizure of all
stocks held in private cellars or a
safety deposit vault. Objection to that,
however, has been made by some dry
leaders on the ground that n.tle such
liquor finds it's way into the channels
of bootleg trade, and that it won't be
long before all such liquor will DC used
up.
Unless a pending BILL which would
permit federal commissioners TO try
minor nQuOr cases Is pdSSed, d ~pio-
posed amendment to the law would
taSe. care OF this. Federal court docssa
cts are now badly congested with Vof3I
stead violations. and government Of
ficials have reported a change of pro-
cedure necessary.
The big fight forl amendment will
start with the opening of the new
session in April, according to dry lead
ers. They say they have enough votes
in the house now to put through any
added restrictions they might desire,
but that there is not enough time
left.
Meanwhile, Chairman Volstead, of
the house Judiciary committee, on
whose shoulders will fall the bulk of
revising and Tightening up, is await
ing word from prohibition enforce
ment officers as to suggestions for
making the law bullent proof He
wants the advice of the men charged
with responsibility of breaking up the
outlaw traffic.

WASHINGTON. Jan. 31.-The naval
appropriation bin which probably will
be reported TO the house Wednesday.
carries approximately 1895. 900. 900. a re-
duction Of only about s3s000, 600 from
the amount appropriated year ago,
although 1884 900. 900 less than depart
mental estimates.
An appropriation of 1896. 900. 900 in the
opinion OF the members OF the appro-
priatlons b-committee that framed
the bill. would necessitate reduction of
the navy's enlisted personnel from a
present possible maximum of $4,000 to
n maximum OF 100000, but would per-
NIT continuation Of the navy's build
ing program at the same rate as during
the current fiscal year.
Chairman Kelley OF the sub-commit

100000 regulars would be ample for the

There will be no cut in the number
OF officers. according to Representative
Kslley, who said the subcommittee be-
lievsd every one of the $500 in SER
vice should be retained. The officers.
ne declared, are the nucleus OF an eff

TO force economies in that direction.

Kelley, who added that during con-

A navy OF 100000 men would be suf-
fcient to man all first class fighting
