the activities of the police in searching
for the robbers and is satisfied that
Maj. Hesse Is doing everything pos
sible to round them up.
Washington Is not the only city af-
| fected by an epidemic of robberies,
Commissioner Dougherty pointed out.
Reports from New York, Baltimore

organized gangs of crooks are operat-
| ing successfully. and the police are

SIM RAISES
SUB POWER

NEWPORT. R. T., May 1s.-"The
submarine is the best naval weapon
devised for the protection Of the
United States in the event of another
war;
This statement was made TODAY by
Admiral William s. Sims.
The most impregnable defense
the United States has against attack
by any foreign power is distance, !"
said Admiral Sims. "The enemy
would have to come 5000 miles to at
tack us and when it got within
reach it would have no naval base
to fall back upon-no place where
ships could put In to be refueled and
reconditioned.
THE submarine and aircraft are
our two principal defensive weapons.
Battleships are Of very secondary Inn
portance. They are no longer
guarantee Of safety. They are fine
targets for bombing airplanes. We
must now depend upon submarines,
aircraft and mines"
Asked how he regarded the policy

possession proved very costly to
Byrl Franklin, former tenant at the
w. A. Kepford ranch at Ihawooa,
and now a resident of a farm near
Garland. When a~rraigned in court
today before Justice of the Peace
G. A. Marston, Franklin pleaded

elk out of season n possession of
wild game meat unlawfully, and
was fined $3.50 and costs, the total
amounting to $4,000.
Franklin moved Monday from the
Kepford ranch. After he had gone
some venison was found in the
chicken yard, which had been
thrown away. A search revealed
three quarters of an elk. Deputy
Game Warden Kennedy and Sheriff
Blackburn went to the home OF
Franklin at Garland and there
found the fourth quarter of he
elk, and secured from Franklin The
admission that he had killed the
game out of season. The three
quarters of meat left at the ranch
had been well cared for and it was
Franklin's intention of returning for
