FAIR FIGHT 111
IF - HOUSE
Senate Will Pass Expocition
Resolution Without
Any Contest.
SOUTH TO SEEK DELAY
Louisiana Adherents Plan Attempt
to Carry Action Over to Next
Congress Should They Lose
In Initial Skirmish.
WASHINGTON. Jan. 28 (Special.)
Senator Flint gave positive assurance
today that. If San Francisco wins in
the House, no serious difficulty will be
encountered In the Senate over the
adoption of the exposition resolution
In the Senate.
"There will be some . hostility, of
course, but we will get the resolution
through. New Orleans undoubtedly
will try to block us. but before the
session is over w shall be able to
overcome any effort to postpone action
into the next Congress."
It should be understood that If the
San Francisco resolution authorizing
tha President to Invite foreign nations
Is passed by the House on Tuesday,
but Is not passed by the Senate at thla
session. It will die and be of no force
and effect.
Both Houses Must Concur.
California would have to begin all
over again at the opening of the new
Congress next Winter. Enactment by
the one body alone would vest no au
thority In the President and without
the concurrence of the other body be
fore adjournment not a step could be
taken by San Francisco toward na
tional Invitation to the foreign coun
tries. It 1 very apparent that New Orleans
has already planned that In the event
of defeat In the House it will try to
bring about either an opposing result
In the Senate, which would as well
vitiate the San Francisco resolution, or,
failing that, prevent - action before
March 4.
Flint's assurance, therefore, oovers
both propositions; one that there will
be a majority for California, and the
other that any filibuster or othei tac
tics for delay can be defeated.
Time Will Be Short.
Only four and a half weeks will re
main of the session after the vote In
the House, and these will be crowded
with work for the Senators. The or
dinary run of appropriation bills Is
sufficient of Itself to overwhelm the
Senators during the closing month, for
the work comes to them In a heap af
ter the House has taken weeks to dis
pose of It.
The Senate can. however, proceed
with a marvelous dispatch when It is
so minded, and Senator Flint can easily
obtain 13 minutes at some time to pass
on the exposition resolution, provided,
however, it must be remembered, that
there Is not too formidable an opposi
tion of filibuster.
The Louislanans for many weeks
have been boasting of the leverage they
had In the Senate. They have frankly
avowed a purpose to filibuster If nec
essary. But It Is the Senators on the
floor who must carry It on, and It Is
not so simple' a proposition to main
tain one as th Southern campaigners
declare.

"Butter, eggs and poultry. Instead

NAVY10GET $125,421,538
HOT7SE COMMITTEE PROVIDES
FOR LARGE INCREASE.
Two Battleships of 2 7,000 Tons to
Be Built Pacific Coast to
Have New Collier,
WASHINGTON. Jan. 28. Carrying a
total of J125.421.53S, the naval appro
priation bill was reported to the House
today by Chairman Foss of the naval
affairs committee. The bill carries
$5,929,316 less than the current appro
priation and 12,044,621 less than the
estimates submitted by the Navy De
partment. The increase of the navy programme
calls for an appropriation of 134.270,-
' 816. of which 81S.832.92S for the first
'. year is Inserted In the present bill. This
; increase ' contemplates two battleships
, of 27,000 tons at $11,835,408 each; two
: colliers- at $1,000,000 . each; eight tor
pedo-boat destroyers at $823,000 and
four submarines at $500,000 each.
The cost as given Is estimated on
the basis of building by pr'vate con
tract without restriction.
The committee recommends that the
collier authorized In the naval act of
1908 to be built in a Pacific Coast navy
! yard be constructed by private contract.
with a cost limit of $1,000,000 against
an estimated navy yard cost of $1,800,
000. Owing to an Increased number of of
ficers and rise in the pay of many of
ficers, due to length of service, an In
crease of $1,403,490 in the pay of the
Navy is provided for.
An increase of $150,000 for torpedoes
and appliances is made.
The subject of the discontinuance of
tbe Bureau of Equipment under the re
organization of the department, which
has given rise to prolonged controversy,
is dismissed by the committee with the
recommendation that the trial of the
present plan be extended for another
year in order to test It thoroughly.
To facilitate a better co-ordination In
public works, the committee has con
solidated under the bureau of yards and
docks all the public works of the en
tire naval establishment. .Under this
head the bill makes the following ap
propriations for 1912:
Pearl Harbor Naval Station, designed
to be the principal naval station on the
Pacific, $2,262,000. together with $800.
000 for a 100-ton floating crane for use
there; a provision increasing by $800,
000 the limit of cost of the floating
crane at Boston, repairs and preserva
tion at navy yards and stations, and
appropriations for the various navy
tyards and stations ranging from $988,-
000 to $32,000.
The department's recommendation of
$1,000,000 for coal depots at strategic
points was cut in half.

Story of Murder Told to Make
"Folks Sit fp and Take Notice."
MED FORD, Or., Jan. 28. (Special.)
Declaring that he confessed to the
murder of Belle Ellis here last month
only to "see 'em sit up and take notice."
K. L. Brooks, who was committed to
the State Insane Asylum at the ttlme as
a paranoiac and discharged from that
Institution Friday, returned here yes
terday and left last night for Grants
Pass.
"I had come West with a circus," he
said yesterday, "and after loafing
around here for a day I decided that I
would liven things up a bit, and so
when I heard that a woman had been
found on the railroad track with her
skull beaten In I thought that I would
tell them that I did it."
Brooks was arrested here last De
cember, following a confession to the
murder of Belle Ellis, whose dead body
had been found lying on the Southern
Pacific track between this city and
Phoenix. Although he furnished a de
tailed account of the crime, little
credence was placed in his story and
developments convinced the authorities
that Brooks was merely seeking noto

'S DEATH ENDS
"Poolrooms Must Close; Gam

Francisco's Edict.
POLICE SHAKE-UP SWIFT
City Prison Is Filled to Overflowing
as Result of Vigorous Action
of Captain Duke Follow
ing Cillers Orders.
SAN FRANCISCO. Jan. 28. (So
cial.) Gamblers cannot stay In San
Francisco. That is the police edict Is
sued following the tragic death yes
terday of Gustave Postler, who had
impoverished himself at the gambling
clubs and then had tried to make a
last desperate "stake" by recovering
at the point of a revolver. Whether
he shot himself or was killed by a
shot from a gambler's revolver has
not been determined.
Tonight the city prison cells are full
and the overflow is occupying the cor
ridors. They are poolroom-players,
who were arrested late today In a raid
made under the direction of Captain
Duke, the new commander of the cen
tral police station.
All of the poolrooms raided were
situated In the heart of the business
district of the city and In each place
the police seized the paraphernalia as
evidence. An average of from 10 to
15 patrons were arrested in each place.
The operators of the places were
charged with felony for violating the
Otis-Walker antibetting law and the
habitues of the poolrooms were booked
as violators of the ordinance which
makes the visiting of such' places a
.misdemeanor.
Captain Duke said today:
"Chief of Police Seymour has given
me orders that permit me to change
my entire command if I deem it nec
essary. However, that hardly will be
necessary.
"The chief has told me that I can
request any man from any part of the
department to report for duty with
my company to assist me In driving
out of business the hundreds of gam
blers who flocked here after gambling
was closed in Nevada and who have
syndicated a flourishing business with
in a stone's throw of police headquar
ters. "So far as gambling in this district
goes today, it is ancient history. Yes
terday the Saratoga Club was a minia
ture Reno in full blast. It will not be
permitted to reopen while I am cap
tain of the central station."
Duke acted promptly this afternoon
upon Chief Seymour's carte blanche to
reorganize company A and at 3 o'clock
announced a list of changes that In
cluded two sergeants and eight pa
trolmen. In place of the men trans
ferred Duke submitted a list of names
of men that he desired to take the
places of those shifted, and Chief of
Police Seymour promptly placed his
official approval upon Duke's list.
Two sergeants and eight patrolmen,
who composed Company A of the cen
tral police district,' were removed to
other districts, their places being filled
by an equal number of officers and
men from outside districts.

KENNEDY, NOT HE, MADE OF
FER, SAYS JUDGE.
Mayor Determined Upon Removal on
Appointed Date Mrs. Bennett
Wants No Charity.
Major J. P. Kennedy, slated to suc
ceed George Tazwell as Judge of the
Municipal Court, is credited with hav
ing made the statement yesterday that
he had been approached by a friend of
Tazwell with a proposal to retire from
the contest for the Judgeship in ex
change for a certain sum to be paid
him monthly.
Judge Taswell denies this, and fur
ther declares that the positions of the
two were reversed. He says that some
time ago Major Kennedy approached a
friend of his and intimated that a deal
could be made which would insure his
leaving the field open for Tazwell.
Mayor Simon yesterday reiterated his
determination to dismiss Tazwell sum
marily from office ijext Tuesday or
Wednesday.
G. A. Taylor, father of Mrs. Frank
S. Bennett, widow of Tazwell's prede
cessor, said yesterday:
"As the family of the late Frank S.
Bennett has been mentioned in the con
troversy between Mayor Simon and
Judge Tazwell In a manner which
would lead some people to believe that
tbe wife of Judge Bennett or some of
ber family had been the beneficiary by
receiving a part of the salary drawn
by Judge Tazwell as municipal Judge,
and that this was upon the request of
Mra Bennett, on behalf of Mrs. Bennett
and her family. I wish to say that the
first knowledge that Mrs. Bennett had
of this was from reading it In the
papers, and that neither Mrs. Bennett
nor any member of her family asked or
expected any part of this salary. If
any such representations were. made to
Mayor Simon It was without the knowl
edge or consent of Mrs. Bennett or any
of her family. Mrs. Bennett Is not
asking or receiving any charities from
