BROOKLYN YARD TOCONSTRUCT ARSHIP
Secretary Moody ReachesDecision In Its
Favor
ITS SUPERIOR FACILITIES
Disadvantages of Norfolk and Isl-
and for the Work Admirals Differed-
as to the Choice of Yard Some Being
Against
Secretary Moody today announced thatthe 16000ton battleship to be built bythe Government In accordance with theprovisions cfpast would be constructed at the Brooklyn yard
Norfolk several advantages inthe view of the Secretary but Its supplyof skilled labor was so limited that hefeared the construction of a battleshipthere would demoralize the labor marketand tend to draw men from Richmondand Newport News where Governmentships are now building under privatecontract thus delaying the time of delivery for those boats and working an injury to the efficiency of the navy
This argument did not apply to Bos-
ton where there is In addition an ex-
cellent plant but it was found Bostoncould not begin work before two yearswhile at Brooklyn the keel can be laidinside of eight months
Secretary Moody believes that the ap-
propriation of 175006 will be sufficient-to prepare the ship at Brooklyn whilethe regular appropriation for tools willcover the cost of any necessary addi-
tions to the plantThere has been considerable difference
of opinion among members of the boardand It was thought that several sessionsmight be required to reach a decisionThe New York yard finds favor amongsome of the admirals but is objected toby others on account of the superior fa-
cilities it affords for repairing ships andthe advantage it has by reason of itsgreat depth of water over Norfolkthe largest vessels
Norfolk and Mare IslandFor this reason several bureau chiefs
believed the New Yoork yard shoulddevoted exclusively to repair work andthat to the Kortolk er Mire Island yardswhere few jrf the largest vessels can bedocked aitftuW bft assigned tile wecketconstructing the new vessel
Mare Island has the disadvantage ofbeing remote from the manufactories ofthe East which furnish the structuralsteel and armor for all war vessels
Cost of Transporting MaterialsThe cost of transporting the material
would necessarily add to the cost of theship and possibly brtog it above the 4per cent allowance that builders on thePacific secure in making contracts fornaval ships
Secretary Mocdy reached his decisionafter a conference with Chief Construc-tor Bowles EngineerinChief Melvilleand other heads of naval bureaus It isexpected that work on the vessel willbegin in eight or nine months
In the naval appropriation whichwent into effect on July 1 provision wasmade for the construction of two 16000
tn battleships one of which was to bebull at a Government yard to be designated by the Secretary of the NavySince then Secretary Moody has devoted
large part of his time to securing in-
formation which would enable him toselect the navy yard where the shipcould be built most economically andefficiently

POLICEMEN CHABGED
WITH BEING HOOBLERS
Two Officers Are Fined TenDays Annual Leave
Some days ago Acting Lieut W HMathews of the Second precinct pre-
ferred charges against Privates JosephShipley and D W Coombs to the effectthat they entered the of theGovernment Printing Office and remainedthere upward of an hour The matterwas brought before the Trial Board andas a result of the investigation the menpleaded guilty Coombs claiming in ex-
tenuation that he had no rubber coatand was suffering at the time with aheavy cold and sore throat and Shipleythat he entered the building for the pur-pose of retiring to the lavatory
Major Sylvester in reporting upon thecase stated that It Is Important thatmembers of the force make provisionagainst rain and I believe generallythat they do The temporary steppingaside out of the rain on the part of anofficer is not a serious offense but fortwo officers on a beat to go into a placeand sit down is a matter of entirelydifferent character
I had always entertained a highopinion of these officers it hurtsme very much to be called upon to administer discipline In their cases IfPrivate Coombs was so sick as to require him to be out of the weatherit was his duty to have taken precau-tions to secure proper treatment orhousing rather than to take the matterInto his own hands as to the mannerIn which he should perform service
The officers are each fined ten daysleave of absence to which they would beotherwise entitled with the admonitionthat any violation of the regulations ontheir part in the future when estab-lished will be taken into considerationwith this charge
Commissioner Ross has approved thereport the Superintendent and hasforwarded the papers to his associatesfor final action

DATTOS PLANNING ATTACK
Deinaaa Withdrawal of
DirecfeC by War Departmentto Send Reenforcements to Mindanaoand Bring Them to Terms
PlADs for an active campaign againstthe hostile Moron of Mindanao aremade by General Chaffee by directionof the Secretary of War
Advices at the War Department showthat the military officers In Mindanaohave exhausted their efforts at a peace-able settlement of the trouble with theMoras and a fresh outbreak is consid-ered Inevitable
f
Engagement at Any TimeIn the opinion of War Department of-
ficials hews of an engagement betweenour troops and the Mores may be expect-ed at any time Colonel Baldwin hasreported that the hostile Dattos havebeen preparing for an attack and haverepeatedly tried to provoke the Ameri-can Into taking the offensive Theyhave several times tried to precipitatean engagement which has been avoidedonly by the forbearance of the Ameri-can soldiers
Emboldened by Army InactionIn the opinion cf the officers in Min
wi3o tte Moron look upon this as anexhibition of cowardice which GeneralChaffee believes seriously affects theprestige of the Americans Emboldened
Inactivity of the soldiers tbyhave demanded the withdrawal of thetroops from the Moro country and asthere is no intention to withdraw anengagement is considered inevitable
Will Meet Moros in ForceGeneral Chaffee has explained the
sltuationfo the Wnr Department and hehas been directed to send reenforcements to Mindanao for the purpose ofmeeting he Moron In force and admin-istering such punishment asmay be necessary to bring them toterms
