EXPECT GREAT ACTIVITY
the rhlladIpila Navy Yard will beycc
Bfwmtmifcl for the site o( the proponed
naval experimental Matton and for bat
tteehlp bulldlhff cnalpmsnt by n ipcclal
otmnlltee. headed by Captain Jnalah 8. Mc
Kean, which heMs the opinion that League
Mand Is destined to become the greatest
naval center In the world.
Thl Information Is contained In the com.
pitted report of the special board, which
will present to Secretary of the Navy Dan
Ma the result of Its Investigation on the
advisability of equipping the yard for bitt
tleehlp building and locating there the ex
perlmentat station advocated by the naval
advisory board headed by Thomas Aj Edl
en. The speclat board will. In the recom.
BBdatlon to be submitted to Secretary
Xanlel, declare that
The- Philadelphia yard, because of
ks location and (lie atovnntnccfl of
the labor and material market, offers
t the best reasons for Increasing Its
i facilities.
It should be equipped for the build
Ing of tho largest vessels, and this
hould bo done without delay.
Tiiere Is plenty o( land owned there
by the Government to afford every
(accommodation for the experimental
laboratory.
Nearness of the hi shipbuilding
yards to League Island will assure
sufficient skilled labor at all times.
This committee, which Investigated
League Island Informally, mado known Its
recommendations to naval odlclals last Mon
day night. At that tlmo It was thought that
It would be necessary to nmiounco the be
ginning of work at Philadelphia under the
appropriation available without delay in
erdtr to overcome the suspected combina
tion among the big shipbuilders. The fact
that three private concerns submitted bids
which coma within tho appropriation, how
ever, makes It possible for the odlclals to
award the four battleships nnd twenty de
stroyers to tho lowest bidders.
In order promptly to carry out, the large
naval program authorized by the last Con
gTts.1, Admiral Strauss said yesterday that
It would bo necessary for all private and
Government yards to be engaged for tho
next two years. The private yards, according
to reports, are congested with work. It
becomes absolutely necessary, In the opin
ion of the committee Investigating the con
ditions of the Government yards, to equip
the Philadelphia yard for battleship work.
MAY HUSH EQUIPMENT
It was predicted by a navy official whose
opinion has the greatest weight with Secre
tary Daniels that the Philadelphia, yard will
be equipped within tho next three months so
that It can build at least one of the battle
erulscrs and a number of the scout cruisers.
According to this olllclal, who ex
pressed surprise that tho private bidders
asked such high prices, tho Philadelphia
yard can bo equipped and complete one of
the battle cruisers and one or two scout
erulsers as quickly as any private yard.
"Tio private bidders have not acted In
a. patriotic way," said this omclal, "They
want to make their own contract and
Biodlfy the specifications to suit themselves.
In one Instance, however. It looks as If one
Arm had gone out of Its way and la willing
to put aside private work lit order to help
the Government. Wo nro unablo to tell
what will happen when the other bids will
be opened, and In Justice to the Govern
ment It la necessary to have League Island
to a position to do some of the work."
NO BETTEH LOCATION
Admiral Benson, chief of operations, who
was commandant of the Philadelphia yard,
and Captain McKean. hlg assistant, who
also was at tho yard for more than a year,
are advocating the Immediate construction
of docks at Philadelphia for battleship
building. The former believes that Phlla
delphia should be made the greatest yard
in the world: that with Its advantages
tfeere Is no better yard In the United States
and with the Philadelphia yard so equipped
the Government will be able to rush Its
naval program to prompt completion,
The opinion of these and other officials Is
that Secretary Daniels will accept the
recommendations of the special board and
auuionze me use ot sz.000,000 In tho next
few weeks to begin tho work necessary to
place the Philadelphia yard In a position to
compete with other yards and private con
cerns. Engineers Bay that at least (6,000,
000 will be required to put tho yard In
proper shape, and they favor asking Con
gress to transfer the entire Item for equip
ping yards to the Philadelphia yard.
Thomas A. Edison advocated the Phila
delphia yard for the locatlo6 of the ex
perimental laboratory, and his advice will
probably be taken by. Secretary Daniels.
Therefore there Is every reason, to believe
that the Philadelphia yard Is at last to
realize Its possibilities nnd be made the
largest yard In the world and the center
for experiments' In making the American
navy the most advanced and powerful of
any nation. i

BLAMES PARALYSIS ON AUTO
Doctor
Says Fumes
Cause Infant
of Combustion
t'laguo,
CINCINNATI. Oct. 27. -That nutomo
biles are to blame for tho epidemic ot In
fantile paralysis that has swept the coun
try was asserted hero by Dr. Thomaa
F. Harrington. Deputy Commissioner of
Ijibor of Massachusetts, beforo tho Amer
ican Publlo Health Association.
"Infantile paralysis Is due to chemical
agents, namely, gases nnd fumes given off
In the atmosphero by tho combustion of
oils and fluids used In automobiles," he de
declared. "Cases of gas and fumo poison
ing and cases of Infantile paralysis agree-In
every essential.
"In Infantile paralysis wo nro dealing
with a chemical agent and not a micro
organism. Infants and old "persons are
more susceptible to the malady. Although
tnfantlle paralysis has been endemlo for
years, Its presence In epidemic form dates
from the Introduction and wide use of the
automobiles."

WEDDED IN PHILADELPHIA
POUOHKKEPSIK, Oct. 27. The Ilev.
Arthur Worthington, ns he has bcon known
since he came to this section several years
ago, has been deposed from tho ministry
by a tribunal of the Presbyterian Church,
composed of el;ht clergymen and six lay
men. He has disappeared.
Worthington, who Is sixty-eight years
old, was found guilty on tlireo charges!
First, of entering tho Christian ministry
under the name of Arthur Worthington,
whereas his rightful nnmo Is Samuel Oak
ley Crawford.
Second, of obtaining money under fnlae
pretenses from Itobert Hutchinson nnd II.
I. Wayne, of New Hamburg, and the Itcv.
V. J. Stanley, of Newburgh.
Third, ot blasphemy. In having said, when
he nppearcd lTfc.ro the, Presbytery for ad
mission to tho ministry. "Gentlemen, I have
never durlnjr my life committed nn
act which would tend to cast dishonor or
discredit upon the name of Christ."
The testimony nt tho trial shows Worth
lngton has had a checkered career. Ac
cording to the tribunal's records he has
married eight times, several of his wives
being still living, and he has Used eleven
aliases.
At twenty-two he married a stenographer
In Philadelphia, and tho evidence brought
out Is that he deserted her, going to Al

Worthington and his wife went to New
Zealand, whoro he organized n "Templo of
Culture," with his wlfo ns high priestess.
Here he got between $30,000 and $40,000,
It Is said, on the strength of a supposed
Inheritance that was coming to him.
LANCASTER STOCK YARDS
UET lriOjOOOATTLE A YEAR
Distributed Throughout East and Eu
rope at Good Prices
I,AXCASTI3Il, Oct, 27. During the last
few years approximately 160,000 cattle
have been received annually at the Union
Stock Yards, situated on the Pennsylvania
Railroad "cut-off," In tho northern part of
Lancaster, from which they have been dis
tributed through the ICast and In Europe.
Of this number Lancaster County has tnken
about 35,000. Judging by the receipts of the
last few weeks fully as many cattle will be
received at tho yards an In former years,
and Lancaster . County will get about as
many as usual.
The buyers are mostly Lancaster County
farmers, who take steers of the feeder type,
fatten them over winter nnd sell In the
spring, usually at a good profit. .The bulk
of the farmers who buy nro tobacco
growers., who prlzo tho stable fertilizer
above the commercial fertilizers for the
tobucco field.
Tho cattle received hero come from the
West, New York State, Virginia and Ten
nessee. Tho Virginia typo is especially
sought by tho farmers. In the early part of
the present Benson farmers held oft buying
on account ot the high prices, but tho lure
of high profits next spring at last set them
to buying and now they are 'heavy pur
chasers. Tho sales of all grades of cattle last
Monday, tho first weekday seeing the
heaviest trading, ran up to 8310. Tho
market for feeder cattle opens In Juno and
continues until tho end of December, by
which time tho farmers are stocked up. As
feeder cattle can be bought nt prices rang
ing from $5.60 to $6.10 per hundred pounds
for common to medium feeders, to $7,40 nnd
$7.90 per hundred pounds for extra choice
feeders, and as they sell In the spring nt
tho high prices then paid for butcher
cattle, during the winter having put on
hundreds of pounds of flesh, the farmer
usually makes good profits.
Lancaster Is not much of a hog market,
and still lesH for sheep, but Lancaster
County farmers ure now realizing that there
are big profits In hogs and sheep and many
are now breeding them. The high price
of corn Is tho great drawback now, for corn
can quickly bo converted Into cash.
Some farmers- have adopted the western
plan of not cutting their corn. They simply
drive along and husk It and then the cattle
aro driven In. These farmers say they do
not need the long feed.
