The supply for ships under {construction or authorized, however, s not adequste. For present ship: Admiral Strauss said an ample e serve supply also had been accumu- lated. The committee went into executive session for the first time during its consideration of the navy bill to get actual figurep on amunition which Ad- miral Strauss declined to reveal pub- lcly. ‘Admiral Strauss said every American ship of the California class carried 672,000 pounds of powder in peace or war, but he declined to state in open session the number or rounds per gun that amount represented. He also re- fused to disclose That information the navy kad as to the amount of ammu- nition used up by infighting belligerent ships during the present war. During the open hearings it de- veloped that the navy departent hopes to obtain appropriations under which it can store more than 30,000,000 tons of sodium nitrate or a two years' supply for the manufacture of navy powder, as a reserve against the pissi- Dility of a war in which the United States would be cut off from Chile. Be- cause of the lack of ocean carriers at anything but exorbitant freight rates, also, it is planned to bring some of the nitrate to this country in naval ves- tions bureau which could furnish what information was desired. Chairman Padgett read a letter from Admiral Fletcher, however, asserting that the open sea work of the fleet last vear showed a 25 per cent. improve- ment over the preceding year and was the best » the history of the service. Further light on the subject was Sought of Admiral Strauss during the closed session of the committee. Target practice records, ammunition sapply and similar mattes;,: are regard- ed, as navy secrets, Adiniral Strauss sald. His attitude was supported by Secretary Daniels, who informed con- gress in reply to a resolution offered by Representative Gardner, that he could nrot reveal detalls of the fleet target practice. “The data,” Secretary Daniels re- ported, “would give to all foreign pow- ers just the irformation most desired by them. uch information is consid- ered by all powers as most confiden- tial and such as they strive hardest to keep secret. An analysis of the data will at once show the amount of danger to be expected upon encounter- ing cne of those vessels.” Mr. Daniels appealed to the house again today for an emergency appro- priation to deeepen the approaches to the New York Navy yard.

He ate and drank, made an unsuccessful search for money and finally departed, taking He evident- traveled in a circuitous route from North Stonington to Pleasant View. as the Babcock cottage was enmtered aturday night. ‘While the officers were scouting for Allen along the shore cottages at Quonochontaug, two farm hands in the employ of Tristan D. Babcock, Stewart and Glasson, acting as care- takers of the Dr. Williams place, no- ticed that the house had been forcibly entered. Stewart went into the house and investigated. He found Skeeto asleep in one of the rooms and locked the door. Stewart then summoned Glasson, who responded and carried a shotgun. Just as they reappeared, Skeete jumped from a window and ran, the two men following, but they were soon outdistanced. The shotgun was discharged twice, but mot at Skeete, believing that he would stop and surrender. He did mot scare, but kept on at antelope speed. stopping oc- casionally and aiming his revolver at his pursuers, but did not fire. The watchman on duty at the Watch Hill coast guard station, with the aid of a field glass, saw Allen running down the beach and dodge into some brush along the shore. Close watch was kept, but Allen did not reappear. As soon as Allen was discovered in the Dr. Williams summer home, Po- liceman Frederick T. Mitchell, on duty in the square, was notified by tele- phone and with Sergeant West rushed to the Willlams cottage in an automo- bile, but Allen had fled. Chief Brown and State Prison Officer Plerce were notified and Tuesday evening an effort was being made to surround and cap- ture Allen. The searching party soon arrived at the place where “Skeete” was seen to enter the thicket, but the elusive chap had escaped, his footprints indicating that he had doubled and started back towards the Watch Hill road. The tracks soon became undiscernable. darknese came on and the hunt was abandoned. Chief Brown planned to summon a posse and renew the hunt early Wednesday morning, when the whole section will be deployed in the hope of securing Allen and returning him to the state prison to serve the unexpired two vears of his term, and then some more.
