house of Gertrude Sampson, negress who
lives near Cruger and found 13 bottels

NAVY YARD GOES
AHEAD ON GUNS
Officials Hold Hoover's Halt
ing of Cruisers Will Not A.
feet Program at Present.

President Hoover'S cruiser-halting
program will not affect the gun manu-
featuring force at the Washington
Navy Yard at present, nor will 1t impede
the purchase Of new machinery for
this yard, in the opinion of naval Of
f1cers.
The Bureau Of Supplies and Accounts.
Navy Department, has just awarded
contract for $4,000 to the Consolidated
Machine Tool Corporation for boring
mill, to be used here in conjunction
with the gun program. A sand blast
furnace also is being purchased in the
machinery buying plan for the WASH
ington Navy Yard. entailing total ex-
penditure of approximately 100000.
The Navy Yard. it was explained to-
dav. still Is at work on the big guns for
the eight-cruiser program. and the last
part Of this task now Is going forward
Guns for three cruisers now are under
construction at the gun factory in New
York, officers said.
Guns for the Chicago Houston and
Augusta, the last three cruisers in the
eight-cruiser program, are being con-
stFucted at the local yard. and ofncers
said today that none of these has as
vet left the Capital. The ordnance for
each of these consists of a main battery
Of nine 8-inch guns, four 5-inch anti
aircraft guns each, as well as six tor
pedo tubes.
President Hoover recently announced
in conjunction with the 15-cruiser pro-
gram, authorized by Congress al tne
last regular session, that in the frSC
group Of five, three cruisers, to be built
by navy yards and which would ordtna-
rily have ben laid down this Fall would
be held up.
The construction of the two cruisers
in the first group of five, to be built
in private yards, now is proceeding
One vessel is being constructed by the
Bethlehem Shipbuilding Corporation OF
New York at its Quincy, Mass. yards
and the other is being built by the New
York Shipbuilding Corporation OF Cam
den, N. j.
Guns for these two vessels soon will
be constructed at the Washington Navy
Yard, in the opinion Of naval officers,
and presumably the ordnance for these
vessels will be the same as that for the
10O00-ton cruisers now nearing COM
pletion.
This means that even If President
Hoover decides that the three cruisers
never are to be built the washington
Navy Yard force will be kept busy for
some time in. the future making guns
for the two cruisers to be built In the
private yards. Oficers also pointed to
the prospective work for the future, as
the five cruisers that Congress has au--
thorized to be laid down in the fiscal
year 1880 and the five in the fiscal
year 1891, If built, will keep the yard
busy.

the personnel of the Washington Navy

has been launched. At the present time

Seven of Nine Members At
tend Meeting, When Sugges-
tons of Plan Are Heard.
JUDGE SELLERS MAY
BE ASKED TO APPEAR
Chairman Edison Seeks All Infor-
nation and Unbiased Verdict
Is to Be Aim.

Preparations for an investigation of
conditions at Gallinger Municipal Hos
pital were under way today at the
Board of Public Welfare following the
boards action at special meeting yes
terday afternoon in adopting a resolu-
ton authorizing the inquiry.
Seven of the nine members of the
board attended the special session, the
major portion Of which was devoted to
consideration of suggestions for con-
Quoting the investigation. The proceed
ure was not definitely determined. how
ever, although no specific move Is ex-
pected to be made until formal charges
have been filed.
In the meantime, the boards commit
tee on medical service composed of DR..
George M. Kober. Mrs. Hugh S. Cum
ming and Frederick w. McReynoldS,
probably will lay the foundation for the
inquiry.
Details Are Asked.
George S. Wilson. director of Public
Welfare, also has been directed to pre-
pare q detailed report of all charges now
available, together with any informa-
ton in his possession concerning pres
ent conditions at the hospital. and sub
nit IL to the board at its next meeting.
While no date has been fixed for the
next meeting. it may be called tomor-
row, at which time the procedure Of
the investigation also likely will be out
lined.
Judge Kathryn Sellers of Juvenile
Court, whose recent criticism Of the
hospital Is largely responsible for the
boards decision to make an tnveStiga-
ton, probably will be requested to ap-
pear before the board, although In view
Of the fact that the conditions OF which
she complained happened more than
wear ago and do not represent the eX-
listing situation, doubt was expressed
whether her information would be of
material value in connection with the
probe.
Evidence Is Sought.
John Joy Edison, chairman OF the
board, however. Is anxious for all per-
cons who have any information OF value
to contribute 1t to the board in writing.
The board will make the inquiry en-
tirely without prejudice. it was said,
and it will be sufficiently complete 10
satisfy the most exacting public opinion.
The board. however. 1t was explained,
Is of the opinion that DR.. Edgar A.
Bocock. superintendent of the hospital.
is not only competent to manage the
institution eficiently and properly. as
indicated by his past record. but that
he is actually accomplishing that end.
