News of the World By Associated Press ALLNAVY TRAINING ATHAMPTON ROADS Denby Recommends Abandon- ment of Other Atlantic Stations IN INTEREST OF ECONOMY This Would Mean the Elimination of Newport, R, I, Station—New Eng- land Senators Object to Move of Navy Department. Washington, March 9.—Concentra- 8lon at the Hampton Roads, Va., na- val base of all naval training now done on the Atlantic coast and the abandonment of the Newport, R. 1., station in the interest of economy was urged by Secretary Denby today be- fere the senate naval committee, Expect 42,000 Enlistments. The recommendation was presented by the naval secretary during a dis- cussion of departmental plans {n which he told the committee that en- listments of approximately 42,000 men were expected in the fiscal year 1923, due to changes in terms of serv- ice. He added this estimate was based on a navy of 96,000 men. Of those to be enlisted in the next fiscal year, the secretary said that 12,000 Wwould he trained on the Pacific coast at Goat Island and San Diego; 28,000 at Norfolk, if the proposed closing of the Newport schools is agreed to, and about two thousand in special radio and airship work at the Great Lakes station, Chicago. 12,000 Men at Onec. Discussing further the concentra- tion of the training work at Hampton Roads, Mr. Denby told the commit- tee that facilities already exist there for the training of about 12,000 men at one time, while at the Rhode Is- land station permanent arrangements are available only for 2,500 men. He further asserted that while temporary quarters were built at Newport dur- ing the war to care for 8,500 ad- ditional, no valid reason existed for the government paying two sets of overhead expenses. Opposition Voiced. Several New England senators took issue with the secretary on the state- ment that a saving would result from the change. Senator Gerry, demo- crat, Rhode Island, declared the transfer only would mean that ‘‘very soon tire new quarters would have to be bullt at Hampton Roads, since most of the buildings there were of war-time construction. Mr. Denby responded that the so- called temporary buildings at Hamp- ton Roads could be utilized for many vears to come. He went on to tell the committee that little trades schools equipment was held at New- port. and that the cost of moving it to Hampton Roads would be small, while transfer of the Virginia base facilities to Newport would be pro- hibitive. Mr. Denby said, in reply to ques- tions. that the department, however, had no thought of the transfer of the naval war coungo»frnm Newport.

Dr. Prince had a long chat with Mary Ellen yesterday during which he persuaded her to spend tonight in the house called haunted. MacDon- ald dropped around during the day to feed the cattle, as is his custom and he too, agreed to make another attempt to sieep in the place.
