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.

Conductor Busily Pommel
ing Boy and Is Left
Behind.
This Is the r story of a runaway
streetcar, belligerent conductor, and a
plucky, though chastised passenger.
The runaway ; car was a car of the
Sunnyside line;- the belligerent con
ductor was No. 63, which the officials
at the carbarn sav is worn on the cap
f Conductor C. H. Collins; the plucky
caatenrer was florJon Drown, a youth
of about 21. The incident happened
aoout 6:Z0 Saturday evening.
The trouble ail arose over a fare
which the conductor collected twice.
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.
In an Instant the conductor had
leaped from the car squarely upon the
boy and commenced to rain blows in
his face. Brown defended himself aa
best he could and was betting the better
of the argument when he stumbled over
tne curb ana ten backwards. The con
ductor jumped on him and commenced
to beat mm in the face.
Woman Takes Sand.
The women In the car shrieked. One
man attempted to separate the com
batants but was brustfed aside and the
"con- continued to beat the boy. One
woman became so worked up that she
Jumped out of the car, calling the con
ductor a coward, and began to beat
mm over tne Head wltn her parasol.
Meantime, some passenger in a hurry
to get home ad get his dinner jangled
the bell to go ahead, and the mntorman
who had hot seen what was happening,
supposed he had received the nlo-nni
frorn the conductor and started -up his
car. The conductor waa so busily oc
cupied that he paid no attention, and
was left behind.
The car ran on for atvorai Mmb.
before the motorman discovered that he
had lost his "conductor. He could not
turn back then on account- of other
cars behind him. and was ohllrari to
rooeed. At East Thirtieth street an
ncominr car waa met on whfoh w -

home. The situation was explained and
he took charge of the conductorlesa car
and finished the trip.
