S a t u r d a y , A p r i l IB Washington, April 18. -Criticism o f lavish entertainment by rich Am erican diplomats in order to estab lish a nodal »'tending abroad was heard In the house today In the course of the consideration o f the diplomatic sind consular bill. The occupation o f Dorchester house, I*on- don, by Ambassador Whitelaw Held, anil a similar display of wealth In Berlin by Ambassador Tower, were particularly emphasized In that con nection. As one means of counteracting the effect of th«dr ostentation It was urged by many that America slfould own Its legation buildings. Ttu- charge that Emperor W illiam based his objections to Dr. Hill as Ambassador to Berlin solely on that gentleman’s lack o f fortune was re peated by l.ongworth o f Ohio. He made a strong plea for the mainten ance by the government of suitable legation buildings at the various for eign capitals. The’ diplomatic bill was passed un der suspension of the rules. It car ried an aggregate o f $3,520.283. After having been In continuous H‘-t>slon since April 8 by resorting to the process of recessing from day to day, the house at 6:15 p, m.. ad journed until 12 tomorrow, when eulogies will be delivered on the lat*- Representative George Smith of Illinois.

The anti-gambling provision is a rider on a bill providing for the wid ening o f Bennings road, the princi pal thoroughfare leading to the race course at the suburb of Bennings. T u esd ay, A p ril 14 Washington, D. C., April 14.— The message of the president In sup port o f his plan for an appropriation for four new battleships, concerning which there has been so much specu lation, was received today by both houses of congress. There was con siderable delay In the reading of the message in both the senate and the house; In the senate because Senator Foraker was engaged In making his Brownsville speech whed the docu ment was received; and in the bouse because that body was in committee of the whole on the naval appropria tion bill. That the message was designed to influence the house to increase the number of battleships provided for in the naval bill from two to four was generally understood, and the dispatch of the message was intend ed to be so timed as to reach the house just before taking up that pro vision. It was enthusiastically received by the advocates o f a larger navy. The ‘ ’antis” later gave vent to their feel ings by authorizing a petition from a number of citizens of New York City, which was read at the instance of Mr. Tawney, protesting against "th e extravagance of spending over $60,- 000,000 for four battleships.” On an objection by Williams, Hob son was prevented from reading a memorial from laboring men favor ing the building of more ships. The message was a brief but vigor ous contention for the rapid devel opment o f the navy. China was held up as an example of the "peace at any price” doctrine, and Great Bri tain as having the naval policy to be emulated. It was contended that the result of the last Hague conference made it plain ¿hat the nations would not, for sometime, if ever, agree on a plan of limitation of naval arma ment. Washington, April 17.— Injunc tion against the enforcement of state laws can only be Issued by a major ity of three federal judges who are to pass upon them If a bill that passed the senate today becomes a law. The bill was drafted in the Judi ciary committee from a number of measures under consideration. It was reported by Mr. Overman and its provisions were-explained by him to the senate. A substitute by Mr. Bur kett was disagreed to. The Overman bill was opposed by Mr. Heyburn on the ground that the great distances between the federal court in the west would operate to delay the granting of necessary in junctions. Mr. Knox favored passage of the bill and opposed Mr. Hey- burn s arguments.
