Economy Advocates Gain Two
When Committee at Last
Moment Takes Vote.
MINORITY WILL CONTEST
Leader of "So Battleship" Forces
Says He AVI II Not Filibuster but
AM 1 1 Insist That Record
Vote Be Taken.
WASHINGTON. Feb. 20. The Naval
appropriation bill, carrying $146,000,
000 and authorizing: two battleships,
one transport, one supply ship, six torpedo-boat
destroyers and four subma
rines, was reported late today to the
House. It proba61y will be taken up
tomorrow. Secretary Meyer was on the
floor of the House when the measure
was brought in.
A final vote on the battleship con
struction question, over which there
had been a contest for weeks, was tak
en at the last moment. An amendment
to provide for one battleship Instead of
two was lost, 9 to 12. the economy ad
vocates gaining- two votes.
Minority Report Proralaed.
Representatives Gregg of Texas. Hens
ley of Missouri. Buchanan of Illinois
and Witherspoon of Missouri gave no
tice that they would file a minority re
port. Representative Trlbbell of Geor
gia, one of the leading "no battleship"
men. said be did not Intend to fili
buster against the measure, but would
oppose it on the floor of the House
and insists on a recorded vote.
The big Navy men of the House were
confident tonight of putting the bill
. through as reported. Sentiment on the
battleship question among the Demo
crats Is said to be almost equally di
vided, while a considerable majority of
the Republicans favor building at least
two this year.
Navy Pay Also Increased. '
Last year, when only one battleship
was authorized, the Navy, bill appro
priated 1 123,151,538. This year, besides
providing for two dreadnoughts, the
committee increased the amount of pay
for the Navy by about 12,000.000 and
made substantial Increases in the al
lowances for armor, armament, am
munition, fuel and supplies.
NET WEIGHT BILL PASSED
Congress Requires Conspicuous La
beling of Food Packages.
WASHINGTON. Feb. 20. Plain- label
ing of food packages with the net
weight and contents before they are
sold to the public is required by a bill
passed by the Senate today, which al
ready had passed In the House. Slight I
changes made by the Senate will re
quire a conference committee of the
two houses before the measure is sent I
to President Taft for signature.
The proposed law would require the I
net weight and measure of the food
product to be conspicuously displayed I
on the outside of each package. It
would not affect package goods sold
' for 18 months after -the Taw 'becomes
effective. A provision added by the
Senate would give the Secretary of
Agriculture authority to establish
i rules for the-recognition of certain
variations in weight of certain pack
age goods selling for more than 6
cents.

Methods of Conducting Autopsies
Have Changed, Since 1893, Says
Witness in Hyde Trial.
KANSAS CITY. Feb. 20. Attempts
by the defense to shake the tes
timony of the state's expert wit
ness. Dr. Ludwlg- Hektoen. of the
University of Chicago, failed at to
day's session of the Hyde murder trial
when the expert calmly said that things
he had advised In a book written sev
eral years ago were quite inapplicable
to present-day conditions.
On cross-examination 'Hektoen ad
mitted that in performing an autopsy
on Swope's body he had not followed
instructions set forth In his own books
on the technique of autopsies, which
said frozen bodies should not be thawed
with hot water. -
"That book was written in 1893."
Dr. Hektoen said. "Since that time
methods of embalming have changed
somewhat and methods of conducting
autopsies also have been altered. Were
I to revise my book today I would
cnange those statements."
Dr. Hektoen on redirect examination
denied that there were indications
about the body of Chrlsman Swope that
he had died of typhoid.
An examination of the contents ot
the stomach of Chrlsman Swope dis
closed therein .a small amount of
cyanide, according to the test of Dr.
Walter Haines, professor of toxicology
In Rush Medical College. Chicago. He
said a further test showed also the
presence of strychnine.
Dr. Haines added that the fact that
the body had laid In a vault three
weeks would exclude the finding of
poison In large quantities In the stom
ach, but that there was sufficient poi
son found to have caused death.
