WEDNESDAY, NOVERBE t 15, 1922 NAVAL MEASURE MOVING "LONG Washington, Nov. 14.-Judged by the headway made today by the House subcommittee on appropria tions which will frame it next year's navy budget will sail through unruffled seas. There was no indication at the close of the first hearing behind closed doors of another fight like that which marked the passage of the bill last spring. The Navy De patrment, the budget bureau and Chairman Kelly, of the subcommit tee, conducting the hearing, were in full accord on the enlisted per sonnel 86,000 and the same num ber of ships as are now in com mission. The construction program will continue and, the question of scrapping holds over until all the powers have ratified the naval treaty; It was understood the total ap propriation asks for would be in excess of $398,000,000 shown on the face of the last bill, principaly because there was an expended bal ance on hAnd of $46,000,000 July 1, due to the cessation of construction at the time of the arms conference. This $46,000,000 was not shown in the appropriation bill as having been smade available for the present fiscal year. Whatever new construction funds are provided in the bill for the next year will be an actual outlay of of the cash. NEW TRIAL IS GRANTED Columbia, S.

LWEEVIL Gaftfney, Nov. 14.-A young busi ness, man of the city of Greenville who was in Gaffney last Monday dis covered that he had a stinging sen sation in his right forearm. An inves tigation disclosed the fact some sort of insect was embedded in the flesh and after some difficulty in extract ing it, he was told that it was a young boll weevil. He repaired to a drug store, where he applied a gen erous portion of iodine, but said that he felt a numbing sensation all the wayto the shoulder. This is the first authentic case whero a boll weevil has been known to attack a human be ing so far as it is known here.
