K. K. K. TsE COFFIN AND
FUNERAL WREATH TO
WARN POLITICIAN

Chattanooga, Tenn.-William Hill,
prominent Tennessee political leader,
who made a fight for Billy" Smith
and Tom Schneider in the recent cleo
tons, awoke one morning last week
to find a gruesome warning in his
front yard in the form of a flower
wreathed coffin. 1t was small, made
of plain, Imprinted pine lumber and
was covered from head to foot in a
long wreath made from outdoor how-
ers. A large piece of cardboard Dor
dered with a broad strip of black
crepe, and bearing the letters tx. K.
K" was found in the center of the
floral design.
Hill refused to be alarmed. After
reporting the find he chopped the box
up for kindling wood for some of his
neighbors.

DISTRICT NAVY
YARD WITHOUT
SPEC|F|CFUNDS
Must Take Whatever Work
Falls, as Guarantee Of Indus
try Cannot Be Made.

The Washington, Boston. New
York, and San Francisco navy
yards will have to take whatever
share of work falls to them during
the current fiscal year. without any
definite sums being set aside TO
make sure that the shops are Kept
running there. Captain Willard,
aide to Secretary OF the Navy Den
by, pointed out that under the
system now in vogue for the eX.
penditure of money, II is impossible
TO predict what sums eventually
will be spent at the various yards.
The main appropriations spent az
navy yards are for engineering.
construction and repair. Certain
ships ar" assigned to certain yards
as bases, and ordinarily work on
them would be done at those yards,
Captain Willard pointed out. How.
ever, even this system makes II
impossible to estimate even a month
ahead how much money Is to be
spent at any one yard. Another
reason is that a ship assigned to
the New York yard might go
through the whole year without
the necessity of any important re-
pair work.
Under the system in effect, Cap
tain Willard pointed out, when any.
things happens TO a ship, careful
survey is made, an estimate sent
TO Washington of the amount OF
money 1t will require to repair the
vessel, and the sum is them di.
vided into materials and labor. This
must be approved and the money
allotted from the various appropria.
tions. before the work can go
ahead
As the total appropriations for the
navy are more than 100000. 900
under last years total, these eT
penditures must fall well below the
amounts spent in the main yards
last year.
No ship repairing is done at the
Washington yard. the principal shop
work there being in the naval gun
factory.
