Washington, July 14-The Washing

"Congressman - 'Jerry' ' Donovan of
Connecticut started a one man flMbus-

Mr. Donovan had no . objection to ' the

when it. was propos.ed by Congressman
Fitzgerald, in . charge of the measure.
that general debate should continue
for eight hours, to be equally. -divided
on each ' side of the chamber. ;
"Does that .mean that mertfbers will
follow, the usual custom and. get up
here and talk -about anything under

"A member who gets recognition dur
ing general dahate -may talk on any
sub ject, -that he chooses," said Mr.
Fitzgerald. 7 ' ,
"And then they will continue" to talk
about a lot of irrelevant things under
the five minute rule.': asked 'Jerry.'
T cannot promise what the House
will do" said Mr. Fitzgerald.
" Mr. Mann, the minority leader, called
for the "regular order," which meant
putting -the question of. objection.
- "Who asks for' the regular order V
asked the Connecticut" member, bblig
erently. v"'-v - . 1 -.; . ,:,;;
The gentleman from- Illinois," said
the Speaker. '
""Then I . object,? said Mr. .Donovan,
and no agreement could be reached re
garding general debate.
Mr. Fitzgerald then moved " to. dis
pense with the first reading of the bill
and again Mr. .Donovan interposed an
objection, - causing the clerk, to read
the long measure.
During ithe reading Mr. Donovan as
serted- that , the .clerk was skipping a
paragraph now " and then, and the
indignant .member ' from Connecticut
loiiowea ine . reaaing or tne riii , sen
tence by ' sentence to see that there
was no skipping. .. ' '
Mr. Donovan lectured Mr. Fitzgerald
by asserting that,- Instead of "encour
aging long speeches, the House leaders
should bend their efforts toward keep
ings, quorum in the House and rushing
business. ;
Mr. Donovan sought to make a point
of no quorum, but was -a few seconds
too late as the motion, had been car-
rieditb'go into committee of the whole
for the reading of the bill,
About 2 o'clock ; in- the -afternoon.
however, when -. the House" was getting
ready for one. of its sleepy sessions
with abbut a dozen members present,,
and those who were ' not interested in
the speeches of members; who, .were
talking about all kinds 'of things for
home consumption, were disappearing
in the cloak rooms,- Representative
Donovan arose and made a point of
no quorum. ' V
One hundred is a quorum In the com
mittee of the whole and the point
of no quorum caused , the Clanging oi
the gongs in the House office building
and a scurrying- of pages to telephones
and , the members began, to. come in.
There were over 200 on hand inside
of a half hour and ;the" hall of Rep
resentatives looked like one of the
chambers of the greatest nation on
earth for a little while. Soon it was
announced that Representative Sisa-
on had secured time under the general
debate to tell, what he bad done for
his country .since he had been in '-Con-1
A dozen or so members groaned and
waited on Representative Donovan
with the splea that they would like to
go to the ball game , and they hoped
he would hot raise a-point of no quor
um just to make them hear Slsson say
a lot .of things that he wanted -to get
printed in speech form so" that he
could' defeat the fellow who Is oppos
ing him for . his seat.
The representative from Connecticut
smiled .and" said:' - . .,
"Well,' I must listen to him. . I will
not promise not to raise 'a point of no

the submarine art. . .
The Lake shipyard Is the only one
In the world that makes an exclusive
specialty of submarine torpedo boats.
Sir Percy Scott, the great English
expert,' recently announced that the
submarine 'must' displace the dread
naught. '
The Lake people have been alive to
the situation and have been rounding
out their technical staff and Increas
ing the equipment of the local ship-yl
yard. , ' . , ' j
Arrangements have - been, perfected
by which -the Lake company and the
recently organized Busch, Sulzer Bros,-
Dlesel Engine company of St Louis,
will co-operate in the special manufac
ture of submarine torpedo boat marine
Diesel, engines for the United States
naval vesselsr
A million doIJar; Diesel engine plant
has Just -been finished at St. Louis,
and work is started on the new, en
gines. Snlzer Bros were European'
licenses of Dr. Diesel and are leaders
in the manufacture of Diesel engines
abroad.
The Diesel . engine consumes heavy
oil and has no explosive dangers, which
made the earlier gasoline engines so
unsatisfactory for the propulsion of
submarine boats. -. '
Congress - has just appropriated $4,-
460,000 for eight submarines.
The Lake company is building the
submarine L-5 at its Bridgeport plant;
the L-6 and L-7 at Long Beach, Cali
fornia, and has licensed the U. S. gov
ernment to build the L-9 -from Its
plant at the Navy Tard, Portsmouth,
N. H. -
The company , expects additional
work shortly, when it will take on ad
ditional, skilled mechanics. ,
