 ernment, Finished

The Thomas Basin improvement project in Ketchikan harbor was completed last Saturday, 1t was an- nounced today by Assistant District Engineer, Maj. L. E.

 To make it possible to utilize all of the mooring space inside tht refuge harbor, Ketchikan plans tt construct a series of floats. It ha! applied to the War Departmen for permission to build them, ane as soon as it has been granted work will start. The city has alst started a movement to increas. the depth to 13 or IA feet so tha the deeper draft vessels can utiliz' the refuge harbor.

Mos of this came from the steamship channel and the remainder iron a deposit adjacent to it which ha been continuously sloughing int and filling the channel.

Presidents Committee Sub- mits l0,000-Word Re-
 port on Accusations

WASHINGTON, D. O., Nov. g. A verdict in favor of President Hoover has been returned by the jury he appointed to weigh the truth of the statements contained in William Howard Gardiner's at- tack upon the Administrations naval policy.
 The committee found that the pamphlet issued by Gardiner, Pres ident of the Navy League, charging President Hoover with "abysmal ignorance" in naval affairs, con- tained many inaccuracies, false assertions, and erroneous conclu- sions."
 Hoover's Charge
 President Hoover charged Gar diner with uttering Notifications and said he would expect a public retraction and apology after the committee completed it's inquiry. The group made the report late last Saturday, laying on the Pres ident's desk the 10000 word .docu- ment accompanied by letter of transmittal.
 First Point Denied
 One. of the main points denied was that the President and Pre- mier Ramsay Macdonald of Eng land admittedly" reached ar agreement, never diyulged entire ly, and claiming Hoover offered tt give the details to Senators who would keep them confidential.
 Second Point False
 Another point denied was that the President delayed the 192s building of the first five of t cruisers ordered by Congress as 2 jesture for a Preparatory Maya Conference. Gardiner termed this as obvious inference Hoover in tends, under the one year maya holiday just begun, to forego the treaty rights to construction ol 87,6oO tons of naval vessels.
 Five Man Committee
 The committee making the re- port were:
 John Hays Hammond, chairman retired mining engineer.
 Admiral Hugh Rodman, retired Eliot Wadsworth, former Assist ant Secretary of the Treasury.
 William R. Castle, Under Secre' tary of State.
