PROGRAMME IS PREPARED jOelegates From Pacific Will Trge Construction of Ten Vessels a Year for Five Years Senate Committee Friendly. WASHIXGTOX. Feb. 4. Ten ub tnartnes a year for the next five years Is the programme of naval construction for the Pacific Coast defenses that has been ' prepared" by the menfbers of Con gress from the states of the Pacific Coast. This will be Insisted upon strongly at an early date before the House com mittee on Naval Affairs. Detestations from Oregon, Washington and California have organized to press this claim. Representatives Hayes, of California; Hills, of Oregon, and Humph rey, of Washington, were appointed by the Pacific Coast delegation to lay their plans before the naval committee. Mr. Hayes strengthened his position in his ar gument today by quoting from the re port of the Naval Board of Strategy and other Government documents. If the Western delegations succeed In their campaign in the House, the chances for the building of a strong submarine floet 'for the Pacific Coast defense are believed to be excellent. The Senate naval committee is predisposed towards Ftrengthenlng defenses on the Western Coast. "The Pacific Coast is in a defenseless condition," declared Representative Hayes. "In San Francisco Bay the cur rent is so strong that it is next to im possible to protect the entrance to the harbor with mines. "We have no battleship fleet on the 'oast and we need protection. Monterey R a y ,. H a.1 f Moon B ay an d the southern ports of the Coast are now practically defenseless." Representative Humphrey said it would he possible for a foreign warship to enter Iu got Sound In a fog without watch era on shore seeing It. He added: 'Tf we had a fleet of submarines they "could always be on the-lookout for the vessels of an enemy and frustrate an attack which, as we are now situated, .we would be practically powerless to resist."

He said bills such as had been presented in the House for the removal of duties on farm articles were equivalent to an effort to establish a legislative boycott agaiust the tiller of the soil. Contra sting the prices received by the farmer with those paid by the con sumer, he said that a 4-year-old steer which in North Dakota would brln $70 would sell for $2500 when retailed at Senate restaurant steak prices enough to buy half a farm. Mr. McCumber declared that a bushel of wheat, which brings the farmer only 90 cents, retails for $3 or $4 when made 'up Into bread and sold at 6 cents a loa f. and at $37.50 when served in a, good restaurant. Potatoes, worth SO i-ents a bushel in North Dakota., served "hashed brown" bring an advance of "450 per cent, be declared.

HOSTILE SPIRIT IS SHOWN Publishers to Be Held Responsible for Utterances Which Render British Control Odious in Sig-ht of Native People, CALCUTTA, Feb. 4.

Secretary of the Home Department, British Government of India. The measure does not create a censor ship, but provides for the control of all newspaper and Job presses, the proprie tors of which are. obliged to deposit from $180 to J1600 which is to be forfeited upon the conviction of the party of an attempt to incite to murder or anarchial outrages, to tamper with the loyalty of the army and navy, excite to racial, class or religious animosity, contempt -of the government or native Princes, or the in timidation of public servants, eto. Sir Herbert, explaining the necessity of curbing freedom of publication, said: "We see a widely read portion of the Indian press occupied in rendering the government odious in the sight of the In dian people. The government is repre sented as a foreign one and therefore selfish and tyrannical. It is alleged to have produced famine, its public works to have generated malaria and to have in troduced the plague and poisoned the wells with the object of reducing the population in order to place it in sub jection; to have destroyed religion toy a godless system of education, and, in short, to have enslaved a whole people who now struggle to be free. The press openly proclaims the only cure for the ills of India . is freedom from foreign rule.' SUGAR CASE COMPLICATED Secretary's Counsel Wishes to Obtain Immunity Without Risk. NEW YORK, Feb. 4.

Clark Prediets Democratic House Next Time. WASHINGTON, Feb. 4. "Never In years has any session of Congress done as much work, as the present one," said Representative Dwibt of New York. Re publican whip in the House, in a state ment today.- "Congress has been in ses sion less than six weeks since December 1 and in that time the House has passed the Army, urgent deficiency. District of Columbia and agricultural appropriation bills. We have also redeemed two pledges of the party platform by passing bills to establish a Bureau of Mines and Mining and to admit Arizona and New Mexico. "It may not be remembered that the message of President Taft in December was a general one and that his specific recommendations regarding conservation, amendments to the Sherman anti-trust law and the Hepburn rate law did not come to Congress until after January 8. These recommendations are in the hands of committees, and as they contain many difficult problems these committees have been working overtime in consultation with the President and the Attorney General, but at the earliest1 possible mo ment bills will toe drafted and reported to the House for action. "There has not been shown thus far any disposition on the part of any Repub lican in the House to retard the passage of any of these measures. It would thus seem that the criticism that Congress is slow in acting Is without foundation and unfair." Champ dark. Democratic leader in the House, commenting upon Mr. Dwight's statement, said : "What the Republicans are really go ing to do is to pass a few appropriation bills, some bridge bills and private claims and one or two of the Taft propo sitions and then adjourn and get away from Washington as quick as they can. "They want to adjourn early and get home as quickly as possible to save as many Republican Congressmen this Fall as they can, but they have not the slightest hope in the world of electing another Republican House of Represent- ! .

SCANDAL IS PREDICTED Member Fears Kate of Interest Will Become Plaything of Demagogues. Vote Is Kxpected by Next Thursday. "WASHINGTOX, Feb. 4. Senator Hey burn today completed his criticism of the postal savings bank bill in the Sen ate, but aside from his speech, little progrress was made In the consideration of the measure. It will be before the Senate 'again tomorrow and Senator Carter, who is in charge, expects a vote not later than next Thursday. Mr. Heyburn declared that the bill had been drawn so loosely that, if en acted, it inevitably must result In scan dal. It should, he said, be safeguarded mora carefully than some past legisla tion, and he Instanced the corporation tax law, which, he said, already had been proved unsatisfactory. Declar ing his objections to the bill, he said hat there was no provision for secur ing deposits, that in providing for se crecy regarding deposits the bill had made it impossible to And investment for the postal savings fund. "Mere Skeleton," Says Heyburn. He contended that it was the duty of the committee on postoffices to bring in a safe and proper bill and said that he would not support the meas ure so long as it placed the Govern ment in the banking business, as he contended the pending measure did. He declared the till to be a mere skeleton, and he advised the committee to take it back and put some "sinews and flesh upon it." Mr. Heyburn spoke at length "regard ing the possible abuses that must grow from the secret methods, provided in connection with deposits. Mr. Carter protested against this line of reasoning, saying that no legis lation proceeded upon the theory that the average man was a "crook." "Would the Senator have the irames of all depositors publicly announced?" he asked. . "Candid' Course Vrged. "I . "want an open and candid conduct of the business. Mr. Heyburn replied. "Would you advise the posting of the names of depositors?" asked Mr. Car ter. The Idaho Senator responded that he had not reached that point and Mr. Carter said: "loa soon will reach it if you kep on." "Out what fund would the inter est be paid?" asked Mr. Heyburn. "The bill contemplates the turning over of all surplus earnings for that purpose.' was Mr. Carter's reply. "Suppose there are none?" Mr. Hey burn persisted. ; "Then It will devolve upon the board of trustees to devise means." "The bill devolves too many things upon the uncertainties of the future, retorted Mr. Heyburn. Treasury Drain Predicted. N In conclusion Mr. Heyburn pro nounced the bill to be utterly vicious and predicted that, in the end, it would be necessary to pay the depositors out of the National treasury. Mr. "Smith, of Michigan, made the prediction that, if the bill became a law, the postal banks would become footballs of politics and that the rate of interest would prove a fruitful base for promises by the unscrupulous office seeker Mr. Carter made no formal reply to the criticisms, merely asking to have the bill printed In the Congressional Record as "the best possible refutation of the representations of its worth."
