ADAMS TOIGNORE
/. SCHOFELD ATTACK
Naval Secretary Disreuards
Rum Charge Against Phil
adeIphia Yard.

Secretary Adams proposes TO pass un-
challenged the charges made yeSter-
day by Lemuel B. Schofield, director of
public safety in Philadelphia, that
liquor has flowed freely at the Phila-
delphia Navy Yard. and has even found
Its way into prisoners cells there.
The cabinet offlcer thinks the direct
or'S statement is exaggerated and he
will not even ask Read Admiral LuciuS
A. Bostwick, commandant of the Qua
ker City's Navy Yard, for o report.
Mr.. Adams believes the commandant
Is perfectly able to handle any situa-
ton that may arise and says that ADJ
miral Bostwick is very fine oficer.
The Secretary Is inclined to agree
with the view that Director Schofield
is acting like a peevish boy due to the
recent encounter between the Navy De-
partment and Philadelphia police over
an officer wearing a naval uniform when
making liquor buys ir prohibition cases.
The policeman found guilty of this
practice was dropped from the Naval
Reserve force after Admiral Bostwick
had conducted an inquiry and found
the charges proven.

 connections with the SS Alaska, sailing at II o'clock this morning.
 Confirmation of The GateWays story of yesterday with respect to reduction in rates on the Alaska Railroad was given by Colonel OhlSon last night, and the recom- mendationS for reversiOn to the prevailing freight rates before the Howell committee upped them, and a Six-cent passenger rate will be among Colonel Ohlson's recommen- dations when he journeys to Wash ington in December.
 Colonel Ohlson is we'll pleased with the report of the Geological ,, Survey, both as regards precious metals and coal. The examination has revealed great possibilities for Anthracite Ridge and the deter mining of larger and better basal beds of bituminous coal in the Moose Creek section of the Mata- nuska fields.
 Tn addition to the magnitude and
 quality of the basal beds as at present revealed, there is a large area in the Moose Creek field which theoretically contains beds that should be even greater in volume and quality This will be deter mined next summer when drilling of Anthracite is completed and op- erationS transferred to the Moose Creek field.
 One of the beneficial effects of the recent Geological Survey ex- aminationS, says Colonel OhlSon, will be the valuable data available to the railroad ill answering in quiries with respect to precious metal mining. In addition to the Surveys work, an engineer will be assigned to the railroad to follow up and assist prospectors and mine owners in bringing their holdings to the attention of investing capital.

STARTING POINT REACHED

hCCEPTANCE of the department of in
n terror contract for the All-American
canal by the directors of the Imperial Ir-
rigation District, gives Imperial Valley
at least starting point from which to
work on this project.
The action of the directors does not
mean that the contract is accepted in the
real sense of the word. Acceptance is
something that is up to the people alone.
The directors have merely advised the
federal government that the proposed
contract has reached such form that the
district is ready to submit it to the peo-
pie for ratification or rejection.
This will be done as soon as the neces-
sary machinery for an election can be set
IN motion. Before it is done, however,
there will be time for complete discus
sion and debate on all phases of the con-
tract.
Valley landowners and residents are to
be provided with copies of the contract
and given full information on points
that are in dispute or about which there
is a difference Of opinion.
The directors have set the ball IN mo-
ton and it is up to the people to decide
whether or not there shall be a game.
