More Battleships !nd

WASHINGTON", Jan. II Exactly as re
ported by the committee, the Naval pro
. gramma or ' the ' fiscal year 1910 -was
today adopted by the House and the
-aval appropriation hill wm passed. The
opponents of the Nnvy-lncreaae feature
of the bill found them.elves in a hope
less minority. The only' alteration made
was the striking out of provisions re
storing marines to naval vessels. The
aggregate amount appropriated la 133,-
ooo.oro.
Peace Advocates Busy.
The increase in the Navy estimate pave
rise to extended debate. In -which mem
bers were afforded an opportunity to air
their views on the Japanese question.
The peace advocates were in evidence In
opposition to the Increase, while the ad
herents of the bill were alive at all times
to every move made to cut down the
plumber of ships authorized.
Speaking In support of an amendment
toy Finley, striking out the battleship
provision. Bartholdt (Mo.) declared that.
If there ever was a time when such an
appropriation Vas unwise and unneces
sary, it was now. "It Is unnecessary,"
tin said, "because to are at peace with
all the world."
Tawney Pooli-Poolis Jar Bogy.
Tawney, rhalrman of the House com
tnlttee on appropriations, vigorously at
tacked the programme for naval in
crease, attributing the present Japanese
ngltation to the desire to have the naval
programme adapted. He declared there
aei no danger of trouble between Japan
and the United States and that without
a naval base In the. mld-Paclflc' Japan
,car do little damage to this country. He
: contended that Japan could cot imposi
a farthing more of tax without creating
.a revolution in that country.
Tawney predicted a deficit of I125.000.cr0
in the present fiscal year and- of I143,KI0,
0") for the next.
Replying to Tawney, Hepburn (Iowa)
found reason for the Increase In the
Navy In the warlike character of the
American people. Bvery generation of
Americans, he said, has had its war and
probably the next generation would iiave
its battles.
Jmrton agreed with Tawney In at
tributing the Japanese war scare to the
' desire to bring pressure to bear on Con
gress for the naval increase.
Cuckraa Predicts Conflict.
The most radical views of the Japanese
situation heard in the House for some
time were uttered by Cockran of New
,York. Never, he said, had the two races
. dwelt together peacefully In actual con
tact except under one condition and that,
he asserted, wa "where one lias con
sented to admit superiority In the other."
Discussing conditions in the West.
Cockran said:
"You have on the Taclfle Coa.t today
two races, one of which won't acknowl
edge inferiority and the other which
won't acknowledge equality. That the
alien race is growing in numbers, some
believe."
Everybody, he said, could conceive that
Its growth meant danger to American
peace. He speculated on what might
happen should the anti-Japanese feeling,
which, he said, was Inonquerable. take
the form that it tixk against the Italians
fn New Orleans.
"Do you think." he inquired, "the Jap
anese in Tokio would allow that to pass
without reprisals on Americans In Japan?
If you do," he added, "you nerer have
visited that country."
Others who opposed the amendment
were Richardson. Alabama: Harrison,
New York; Bates. Pennsylvania; Hughes.
Jfew Jersey, and Fots. Illinois, while
Finley. Illinois, its author, urged its
adoption.
The Finley amendment was defeated by
80 to 140. as also was an amendment by
Burton (Ohio) to limit the naval in
crease to one battleship.
The .House than sustained by 10S to
l'ji the committee provision calling for
two battleships and refused by an over
whelming vole to strike out the pro
vision for Ave torpedoboat destroyers.

Chicago Now Center of
Senatorial Fight.
EIGHTY-SEVEN PLEDGE VOTES
Mayor- Busse . Says "Right Is
With Hopkins."
ENEMIES-PREDICT DEFEAT
Opposition to Senator Positive . It
-Can Defeat Candidate and
Expects Strength to- '
increase.
CHICAGO, .Jan. 22. (Special.) Chicago
is again today the center of the Senatorial
whirlpool, that prominent position follow
ing naturally the return to this city of
United States Senator Hopkins, Mayor
Busse, many prominent Federal officials,
even more county and city officials, who
are also prominent, and a full third of
the State Legislature.
The latest news from the front was that
Mr. Hopkins intends to stick to his col
ors, and in order to aid his supporters
in sticking he has planned to hire a hall
In Springfield next week where his friends
can rally every night.
"I intend to win, and I can assure my
friends also tnat I confidently expect to
win," declared Mr. Hopkins today. "There
are 87 men in the Legislature who are
with me and they will remain with me
through thick and thin. They are now
being signed up."
Mayor Confident, Too.
"I believe Senator Hopkins will be re
elected, because he is in the right and
the other candidates will be defeated be
cause light is not with them," declared
the Mayor this morning, on his return
from Springfield. "I am not bound by
any personal promises to Senator Hopkins
and have not been at Springfield helping
him because of any promises, and have
no understanding with him how long I
shall support him. I will be with him
until the finish and my advice to him
will be never to quit.
"Any talk about Governor Deneen,
Congressman Lorimer and myself plan
ning to meet next week and select a com
promise candidate, if the deadlock is not
broken, is news to me. I would not go
into any such conference unless Senator
Hopkins asked me to, and would not
take my support from him unless he re
quested It.
"Party Duty Bound."
"The reason I have leen at Springfield
is because the Republican party is In
duty bound to return Mr. Hopkins. He
went into the primaries and received a
plurality of 47,000 Republican votes over
any other candidate. The state conven-

I proar in Helena Drowns Voices of
Witnesses and Causes Adjournment.
HELENA. Mont., Jan. 22. With 2000
people trying to enter and as many more
Inside to hear the evidence at the Cor
oner's Inquest over the murdering of
John Hancock, tonight, it was found im
possible for the stenographers to hear
the statements and after the Sheriff had
Ineffectually tried to quell the crowd the
Coroner dismissed tne inquest and stated
that it would be resumed next Wednes
day night, behind closed doors, with only
those Interested and members of the press
present.
At 5:30 people began to gather at the
Courthouse and, when the doors were
opened, at 8 o'clock, there was a rush to
get In. The Courthouse was much dam
aged, doors, windows and furniture being
badly injured. Those who had seats were
offered good sun.- for their places and
the crowd outside the doors fought to
get near enough to hear part of the evi
dence. It was brought- out by the three wit
nesses called that Hancock was in a sa
loon with Walker, against whom Mrs.
Hancock has preferred charges of threat
ening her life, so that she was afraid to
tell the truth about alleged "high-grading"
by Hancock and Walker at the
Whitlach mine, which they had leased.
Henry Latch was telling of the three men
drinking together In the saloon, when the
crowd, trying to get Inside, became so
noisy that the Cot ner ordered the Sheriff
to disperse the crowd, but It was so
densely packed that it was impossible.
He therefore adjourned the hearing. It
was nearly an hour before the courtroom
was cleared and the crowd did not dis
perse for some time.
MORAL SQUAD ABOLISHED
Detectives Who Have Composed It
Go Back Into Uniform.
Orders issued yesterday afternoon by
Chief of Police Gritzmacher abolishes the
"moral squad" which has been much
talked about on the police force since the
crusade instituted in the North End at
the instigation of Mayor Lane.
The order goes into effect today and
transfers Acting Detectives Johnsoh,
Amundson, Tenant, West and Whitesides,
who have been doing "moral" work in
plain clothes, back to the uniformed
ranks. This work was given into their
hands after Kay and Kienlen were pro
moted to the rank of Police Sergeant and
given other duties to look after and the
withdrawal now of these officers virtually
leaves the city without special officers to
follow out the moral work.
In view of the cry which has recently
arisen against certain classes of room
ing houses, charges against three of
which are now pending in the Munici
pal Court, this action on the part of
the police executive is somewhat of a
surprise. Chief Gritzmacher does not
announce his plan for future moral
work. In addition to the "moral squad"
a number of yatrolmen are hanged
from one'relief to another by the same
order.
PACKERS' LAWYER LEAVES
Lundbcrg Sudenly Departs for Port
land During Inquiry.
CHICAGO, Jan. 22. (Special.) United
States District Attorneys who are con
ducting the Investigation of the beef In
dustry manifested considerable interest
today in the discovery that Kdward A.
Lundberg. an attorney who was asso
ciated with the defense in the beef case
investigation of 1M3, had suddenly sev
ered his connection with his employers
and had left Chicago.
For several years Lundberg had been
employed by packing concerns. From
1905 until 1W7 he was associated with A.
H. Veedere. In the employ of Swift &
Co. From that time until last Saturday,
he was employed by Schwarzschild &
Sulzberger, a large Independent packing
concern. At the latter company's offices
it was said he had gone to Portland, Or.
The disappearance of Lundberg, to
gether with the report that at least one
prominent packing concern had been
burning its records, which reached the
District Attorney's office Thursday, has
given a new turn to the beef Inquiry.

LEAVE HAY TO RUN OFFICE
Inauguration May Take Plac3 in
Private Car Will Arrange Plan
With Hay Declines to
Talk . of Legislation.
SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 22. (Spe
cial.) Governor-elect Samuel C Cos
grove, of Washington, arrived in Oak
land tonight from Paso Robles In the
private car California. He will leave
for Portland Saturday afternoon at 2
o'clock. He is. accompanied by Mrs.
Cosgrove and Gerald Fitzgerald, repre
senting the Southern Pacific.
The Governor looks, and says he
feels, much better than he has for
months. He is confined to the car, but
moves about without any assistance.
This evening the Governor entertained
at dinner several friends of Mrs. Cos
grove. Mr. Cosgrove will remain in Olympla
just long enough to be inaugurated and
will return to Paso Robles on the first
train. It is very probable the inaugura
tion ceremony will be held in the car
California, as the doctors do not deem
it advisable for him to go out.
Will Go If He. Has to Walk.
"I am going to Olympla if I have to
walk," said Mr. Cosgrove tonight. "I
weigh 125 pounds and am feeling better
than I have for a long time. I have no
fear of the trip, and the physicians' as
sure me that it will do me no harm. I
will return to Paso Robles to remain
until I am fully recovered. I will stay
there until Spring anyway, and perhaps
longer. Under the circumstances I am
content to trust the office of Governor
to Lieutenant-Governor Hay."
The Governor refused to discuss Wash
ington politics. He said that he would
have a conference wittt Lieutenant-Governor
Hay when he reached Olympla and
that perhaps they would agree upon a
programme. He said he did not expect
to sign or veto any bills passed by the
Legislature, but would leave that to the
Lieutenant-Governor.
Great Precautions Taken.
Every precaution Is being taken by
the railroad company to Insure the
Governor's safety and health. He was
not allowed to' start north tonight on
account of the uncertain condition of
the line to Portland, which has been
tied up for several days by the settling

Quarters . Will ' Be Cramped, but
Even Seasickness Can't Affect
His Smile.
. WASHINGTON,. Jan. 22. (Special.)
President-elect Taft will take his first
step toward Panama tomorrow. He
will go to Charleston on a special train
and on Monday he will put to sea,
leaving the ' mildness of Georgia, but
having before him the heat of Panama.
Mr. Taft ' is to follow the sea path to
the Far South and he seems physically
fit to meet with whatever may come in
the way of storm or calm or high tem
perature. The understanding is that the two
cruisers which will sail from Charles
ton for the Isthmus will be cramped
for accommodations for passengers. The
supercargo list is full and. as the war
ships are constructed more for fighting
purposes than for passenger traffic,
there will be some crowding, some in
convenience, and perhaps some growl
ing, but there "will be no growling if
the example of the chief passenger is
followed, for It is said that not even
seasickness is potent . against . Mr.
Taft's smile. .
The cruiser North Carolina, which is to
convey President-elect Taft to Panama,
arrived at Charleston today from Norfolk.
Mr. Taft will reach Charleston tomorrow.

SPOKANE. 'Wash.. Jan. 22. (Special.)
M. Jv Gordon, who arrived today from
Tacoma, -made this answer when asked
for an interview regarding tho charge
of embezzlement of D200 from the Great
Northern:
"When the rumors of shortages In my
account with the Great Northern were
first published I gave out a statement
that the rumors were untrue, and chal
lenged Judicial investigation. Beyond
that I have said nothing I am glad
that the accusation has at last taken
definite form, and I cordially invite my
accusers and the numerous character as
sassins who have heretofore interested
themselves to come forward now and
testify to aught qX a criminal character
they know against me. I am neither
asking nor expecting quarter."
Gordon appeared before Superior Judge
J. D. HInkle this afternoon, but arraign
ment was formally set for January 27.
The $20,000 bond was declared good and
wUl be in force until Tuesday, When a
