BETTER YARDS FOR PACIFIC COAST Bear Admiral Capps Recom mends Appropriations for Bremerton and Mare Is land Dry Docks Will Be Badly Needed (t7otle4 IVess Leased Wire.) .. washlnfton, Dec. J.That congress should make special provision for tho improvement of the facilities at tho . Pug-et sound and Mars Island navy yards on the Pacific coast, so that bat ; ileships of the "deepest draft can dock at either place for . repairs Is recom mended tn the report of Rear Admiral ' W. U Capps. chief constructor of the nary. ...-( . . i. The report of the chief constructor .since his visit to Hawaii and the Pa cifio coast last July and it Is made plain . that the navy department will recom mend that facilities -be provided on the Pacific coast for docking the large fleet that will eventually be maintained In -the Pacific ocean. Rear Admiral Capps recommends that $200,000 be ap- - propriated for repairs and Improve- menta at the Puget sound navy yard and a like amount for construction work . at Mare Island. This amount is needed, he says, for work that is absolutely necessary and he recommends that ad ditional provision : be made for other WOTS. Only One BUT Sock on Coast. i The docking facilities on the Atlantic : coast are being improved, says the re port, out 11 aaos: - "There Is only one dry dock on the -j-acmc coast that can be used for dock Ing battleships, and that Is located at the navy yard. Puget sound. There are, however, two other docks In course of construction, one at Puget, sound and one at Mare Island, which, when Com pleted, will accommodate the largest battleships now In commission or laid down. It Is not probable, that the dock at Puget sound will be available for us within the next three years. The new dock at Mare Island, however, under favorable conditions ought tn be ready for use within the next year or II months." Admiral Capps calls attention to the. fact that during the recent visit of the : Atlantic fleet to the Pacifie coast more than half the vessels of the fleet were docked at private dock at Hunters Point ' Additional Faculties Weeded. In reporting on his Inspection of the navy yards on the Pacific, coast. Ad- tniral Capps says: "In conformttywith the department's instructions, the navy yards at Mare Island, Cat,, and Puget sound, Wash,, were visited on my return trip to Wash ington. While conditions at these yards are constantly Improving there is still room for considerable .. Improvement specially with respect to docking and Sfer facilities and appliances for han llng heavy weights. The chief conetruceor takes up" the . 'mooted question of the deepening of tho . approaches to the Mare Island navy yard, concerning which there was such a diversity , of opinion on the Pacific roast "While the depth of water In the approaches to and at the navy, Pu- - get sound. Is all that could be desired." Coast. Naval Commission. Tn commenting on the building of ships at government navy yards. Con structor Capps calls attention to the fact that inadequate facilities for the handling of heavy weights at Mare Island was responsible for the delay In launching the collier Prometheus, which was launched thore Saturday. - It Is stated in official circles here that the agitation on the Paciflo coast for greater facilities at the navy yards , there will bear fruit at this session of congress and .that the new. commission asked for to Investigate and make rec ommendations on maintaining a deep approach to Mare Island will shortly be appointed. - The general sentiment In the navy department favors the speedy upbuild ing of naval facilities on the Pacific coast so that the contemplated larger Pacific fleet can be cared for when it Is constructed. It is understood that tresiaent-eiect Tart favors a gradual increase of the Pacific fleet until it will be as large aa that maintained on me Aiian uc . Chief Constructor Capps,1 in his re- . port, expresses strongly the opinion that the new naval station at Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, should be maintained oniT as a repair station. He says: "I am of the opinion that the station should be developed purely on the lines or a repair station and that no consld . eration should be riven to Its devalnn. ment as a shipbuilding yard, the work in BmpDuuaing oeing mucn more aavan tageously performed on the mainland v uio vdjiwi oiaies.

Gordon Brown waa riding on the rear platform of the car and glancing in, ne saw his cousin, a young lady, Inside the car. When the conductor collected his fare he paid hers also, telling the "con" not to collect from her. To make sure that the conductor found the right person, young Brown made his wav Into the car. But he was too late.- Just SB he reached her side the conductor fang up her fare, having col lected from her also. : Befosea to Bemit. Brown pointed out that he had al ready rmlil for the voun? lad v. and asked that the fare be returned. The conductor refused to give It back, say ing he had already rung It up. Brown told him there were a good many pas sengers who had not paid yet, and he could collect from one of them and not ring . up the fare, but the conductor refused to do this, and added a few uncomplimentary remarks about fools. Gordon Brown said no more at the time, but as he left the car at Twelfth street, he remarked to the conductor that while he did not want to make any unnecessary trouble, he felt called upon to report tne matter to Headquarters. and at the same time made a note of toe conductors cap number.
