HOUSE AUTHORIZES
TWO BATTLESHIPS;
FOUR SUBMARINES
Naval Appropriation Bill. Calling
for $128,037,602, Is
i Also Approved
MANY AMENDMENTS BEATEN
Tawney Wants One Dreadnaught,
and Hobson Three-Both
Are Voted Down
f Associated Pressl
fTT ASHINGTON, April B.—By a de
wy cisive vote of 162 to 110, four
■ • teen being present and not vot-
Jng, the house late today authorized
the construction of two battleships to
cost $6,000,000 each. Thirty-three Dem
ocrats voted for two battleships and
twenty-four Republicans against the
proposition.
This action was taken just prior to
the passage of the naval appropria
tion bill, carrying $128,037,602. This
amount is about $3,000,000 loss than was
recommended by the navy depart
ment.
In addition to the two battleships,
the bill also provides for the conitrui -
tion of two fleet colliers and four sub
marines. '
The committee on naval affairs had
reported in favor of two battleships.
Mr. Tawney, chairman of the appropri
ations committee, offered an amend
ment providing for only one battle
ship, while Mr. Hobson proposed an
amendment providing for three. By
an almost unanimous vote, the house
rejected Hobson's proposition.
Mr. Gronna of North Dakota moved
to strike out the authorization for the
construction of any battleships, but
a viva voce vote showod there was
not a handful of advocates on a "no
battleship" policy.
WANTS VOm RATTWQSIIII'S
Mr. Thomas of Ohio proposed an
amendment for four battleships, but
the house voted it down almost unani
mously.
Mr. Tawney's amendment for one
battleship was lost by a vote of 104
to 138.
At least thirty Democrats voted with
the Republicans against Mr. Tawneys
plan.
Mr. Qoldfogle Of New York offered'
an amendment providing that at least
one battleship be constructed at a
navy yard, the second to be built either
by contract or at a navy yard. After
extended discussion, Mr. Mann of Illi
nois, who occupied the chair, declared
the amendment out of order.
An effort was made by Mr. Morris of
Nebraska, an Insurgent, to amend the
bill to provide for one battleship and
six transports, the latter to cost $1,000,
--000 each. The amendment was ruled
out of order.
A strong speech against a two-bat
tleship policy wa« made by Mr. Bar
»tholdt of Missouri, the house "apostle
of peace."
A point of order was sustained elim-
Iniiting from the bill authority for the
construction of a $1,000,000 fleet eolller
to be built on the Pacific coast by pri
vate contract. Under existing law it
vill be constructed in a government
navy yard on the I'aclflo coast.
The appropriation of $1,000,000 for one
repair chip was ulso stricken out on a
point of order.
KK.HT-HOI II b&W BBOOOXIHH)
Mr. Fitzgerald of New York offered
an amendment which was adopted by
a vote of 131 to 15 under which the two
battleships and two Meet colliers must
be built by llrms working under th«.
eight-hour law.
Following closely upon this action
Mr. Hughes of New- jeisey attempted
to have the same law applied to th»
building of four submarine torpedo
authorised by the bill. The
amendment was ruled out of order.
Mr. Goldfoglo of New York offered
nn amendment directing the construc
tion of one battleship in a navy yard.
The amendment was defeated, :>a to 103.
The provision permitting the consol
idation of bureaus of the navy depart
ment, according to the plan of Secre
tary Meyer, was stricken out on v point
of order.
Mr. Padgett of Tennessee, senior
Democratic member of the committee
on naval affaJrs, then moved to recom
mit the bill with instructions that it be
reported to the house to provide for
only one battleship. This motion was
defeated on a rojl call, 110 to 162, four
teen being present and not voting.
Thirty-three Democrats voted with
the Republicans for two battleships,
•while twenty-four Republicans joined
the Democrats in favor of one.
MEYER FAVORS NAVAL
REGULATION CHANCES
Secretary Concludes Situation
Demands Subdivision of
Responsibility
WASHINGTON, April After
working for years to develop this sys
tem of one-man control of the great
fleets of the navy. Secretary Meyer
has come to the conclusion that the
abilities of the individual have reached
the breaking- point and thru It will be
necessary to subdivide the responsi
bility.
Therefore, he has approved a number
of' changes in the naval regulation!
concerning the administration of the
Atlantic and Pacific fleets.
The main purpose of those changes
is to relieve the commanders-in-chief
of much of the details of administra
tion. This is to be accomplished by
transferring to rear admirals in com
mand of each division of the fleets
comprising four ships each, a large
measure of authority and administra
tive power, which will have the result
'of fitting them to succeed readily to
the chief command.
1 At the same time the commander
ln-chlef will exercise supervisory au
thority over all the divisions Instead
of over single ships as units.
Extending 1 the Idea, the commanders
of divisions will bo given an opportun
ity to sail away with their four ships
to different parts of the world on de
tached service with the understanding
that the various divisions will at cer
tain periods be gathered for target
practice and general fleet exercises. ,

THE wedding of Miss Adele Young,

solemnized last evening at the resl

Music Notes
Mary Le Grand Reed sang a charm
ing program of songs at the Friday
Morning club last night. Her voice,
Which is a well cultivated dramatic so
prano, was heard to advantage In the
heavier numbers, but the program
seemed slight inconsequential, not of
the quality to show the singer's voice
or onterpretative powers to their best
advantage.
The closing number, "Stances," by
Flegler, with 'cello obllgato, was tha
most effective of any of the numbers,
although many of the others were
dainty and well sung. Interest cen
tered about the song by Laura Zerbe,
"The Blue Bird," which was enthusias
tically applauded and repeated by the
singer.
Maurice Koopman played the cello
obllgato and made two solo appear
ances. Mary O'Donoughue was at the
piano.
The concent given in the Y. M. C. A.
building Thursday night by the Y. M.
C. A. (Jlee club, under the direction of
J. P Dupuy, scored a success as an
entertainment. The auditorium was
packed and everyone apparently was
pleased.
The work of the club demonstrated
what can be done with good material,
though uncultivated, In the hands of a
thorough, patient, musical artist in
training a main chorus. Mr. Dupuy is
I (_"iiius In this line, as was demon
strated by the work of bis singers. The
club is only eighteen months old In
point of organisation, and though com
posed almost entirely of amateurs, the
members did their work In a way that
led their hearers to loso sight of the
amateur entirely, and to hear and en-
Joy only the music they gave. This
was especially evidenced In their at
and In the tone coloring, and
the precision of their concerted work.
The club was very ably assisted by
Miss Edith Bucher, soprano; Carlton
Wood, violinist, and Randolph Lewis,
ir. Mi.«s Surlier has a very sweet
soprano voice which she uses with good
effect. Her tone work showed the re
sults of constant application, which are
attained only \>y the talented and zeal
ous worker. Mr. Wood played an
"a, b, C," number which showed the
variety of his ability, and he proved
hinißelf an artist. His work was a
splendid credit to the club.
The work of Mr. Lewis was very
much enjoyed by the audience, and al
though young in years, be showed that
he had a gift for oratorical work.

IQUISITORS MAKE
SCATHING REPORT
Pittsburg Jury Indicts Collector of
Delinquent Taxes
for Bribery
[Associated Press]
PITTSBURG, April B.—A true bill
charging Max G. Leslie, collector of de
linquent taxes in Allegheny county,
with bribery was returned by the grand
Jury today.
At the same time a sweeping present
ment was handed down with general
charges that many of the 250 witnesses
which the grand Jury has had before it
In the graft Investigation have willfully
withheld knowledge and secrets of the
graft, and that a few have been guilty
of perjury.
Directors and officials of the six big
banks that profited by the corrupt do
pository ordinance are severely scored.
The indictment of Leslie follows his
recent acquittal on a charge of perjury
in claiming an alibi in connection with
a previous indictment for alleged brib
ery, He is now charged with receiving
$25,000 from the Columbia National
bank of Pittsburg on June 3, 1908. In
the former indictment the date was
named as June 6, and Leslie proved
that he was out of the city at the time.
It is charged that of the $25,000 he
paid over $17,000 to William Brand to
bribe councllmen.
The Indictment season reached such a
complex Stage today that even the
grand Jurors themselves thought It was
necessary to present a comprehensive
review of all their work.
It was declared most emphatically
that former Councilman Charles Stew
art and Cashier James M. Young or the
Second National bank have concealed
information.

ciflc terms charged that Cashier Young

Important In that it shows how th««
banks were induced to put up so large
an amount of money for the boodle
fund Is the recommendation that 6 per
cent be collected on city deposits from
these banks from and after this dute. •
The presentment says:
"When an ordinance has been passed
by the councils of the city of Plttsburg
by means of bribery, which was par
ticipated in by more than 90 per cent
of the then members of councils, when
officers of 6lx banks or persons for
their benefit paid this bribe, we do not
believe such a contract should be held
valid. , ,
"When It Is a fact that other banks
of the city of Pittsburg offered a high
er rate of Interest, can It be truo that
these particular six banks should reap
larpe returns from the city of Pltts
burg which now result to them, and
may result to them, because of this
wholesale bribery and corruption?"
In the section of the presentment
that deals with this It is declared that
Sam Heppenstall and C. W. Heppen
stall two prominent business men of
this city, each paid bribes to Charles
Stewart, the former paying $10,000 and
th« latter $1000.
