Frederick and Clarke Counties.
D. A. Tucker, assistant supervisor
of the emergency farm labor pro-
gram in Virginia, said fruit growers
faced the prospect of having to har-
vest next years crops without the
help of Germans or labor from the
Bahamas. He said the Government
expected to send all Germans back
to their homeland by March /, 1916
and it was doubtful whether any
Bahama laborers would be here next
year. Few discharged veterans have
returned to farm work, he said.

The House Naval Affairs Com
mittee was ready this morning to
take up its third day of hearings
on the .Navy's proposal to acquire
st. Johns College in Annapolis for
expansion of the Naval Academy.
The same witnesses who have
been appearing before the House

fore the Senate Naval Affairs Com

plan under consideration.
House committee members have
been questioning witnesses closely
as to possible alternative means of
providing for expansion at the acad-
emy. Navy officials have told both
committees that any plan other
than acquisition of the historic COL
lege would be impractical. 1t was
revealed earlier this week that the
Navy intends to demoiish the build
ings on the old college campus and
construct large dormitory on the
grounds.

Gov. Darden announced the COM

mission to the General Assembly in
January.
The total, not yet estimated ac-
curately by j. H. Bradford, director
Of the budget, embodieS an accumu-

large portion is for capital expendi-
lures. principally for State insti-

Members OF the stadium commits
sion, meeting today to speed the
proposed war memorial project for
the National Capital, were told that
Billy Rose, promoter of spectacles
and sportsman extraordinary, was
one of their hackers.
Being a practical man as well as
an outstanding Snowman, Mr.. Rose
has his doubts about a stadium so
large as to have 100000 seating
capacity, but he has given his en-
thusiastic okay to proposals for a
big, all-purpose, all-weather stadi-
um. as proposed for Washington.
Word to this effect was placed
before the stadium commission to-
day by Walter w Cook, Dallas, Tex,
architect, who has been drafting
preliminary plans for the District
project.
Mr. Cook consulted at length with
Mr.. Rose in New York in the past
few days. The New Yorker was
especially enthusiastic for the idea,
fathered by Chairman Bilbo, for a
permanent world fair type of ex-
h1bition as means of constant
revenue to make the project pay for
itself, Mr.. Cook said.
