tified that, at one time Gaskill was en
gaged, in the . drug business in Toledo,

S.nSflfD WITH DXT DOCK CRUISE
(Ssf Ippa -rs Aaaociatlon)
Washington, D. C March 1 There is
considerable satisfaction among the offi
cial of t te N ivy Oc partme.it over the
reports of the safe arrival of the Dewey
Dry Dock off t'e Canary islands. It was
not expected that there would be any
difficulty encountered by the txpedition.
for it waa known that the weather con
ditions were reasonably good, the trip of
the dock having been timed by the hydro
graphert to as to take advantage of the
fair winds across the Atlantic It is now
realized, however, that those who esti-'
mated the time to be made by the exce
ditfoh gave the dock too much credit for
speed. The builders of the structure have
insisted that under the boat conditions the
expedition could hot make greater epeed
thaii ninety miles a day on the average,
making no allowance for the accidents to
the hawsers and the transfer of the
stores. The officials of the Navy Depart
ment maintained that tha Dewey struc
ture Could Dot make the trip, and it was
realized that tha mobility of the dry dock
would go a long way toward supporting
the theory of the strategic usefulness of
the dock and assisting tha plan to obtain
anNsppropriatlon for another in the pre
sent session of Congres. "
