Naval Appropriation Bill Further
Discussed in tie s ate.
lR. ALLEN CRITICISES BOND ISSUES
Contested Election Cases Reported
in the House.
THE BANKRUP PTCY BILL

The naval appropriation bill was taken
up soon after the Senate opened today,
the pending question being on the number
of new battle ships.
Mr. White (Cal) spoke of the need of
an adequate navy, but urged that this
should not exclude the consideration Of
land defenses.
He presented the views Of military and
naval authorities, including General Miles
General Craighill and Admiral Walker
showing the defenseless condition of our
harbors, particularly the Pacific coast
The Senator said the United States had
been ION the fight of late, but the result
of a contest with any great power was
not open to much doubt in view of our
defenseess coast.
Navy Not of Itself Sufficient.
Our navy was not of itself sufficient pro-
lection, for Great Britain had appropriated
this year for a larger number of ships
than are in our entire navy. Our ships
would have to be beached or destroyed in
case of great naval war, in order to keep
them from falling into the hands of the
enemy. AS we stand it is utterly foolish
for US to attempt to challenge seriously
the power of any great nation or the
world. war between the United States
and either of the great European pow
ers would mean ruin uncxampled Mr.
White spoke of the national sentiment to
whip somebody" The American people
he said, were travelling around with a
chip on their shoulder" Perhaps 1t might
not be knocked off. but it would be un-
pleasant to have New York and Boston
placed under tribute for a few hundred
millions. While not opposing the bill for
the building up of tho navy. yet he wanted
to point out the need of some harbor Of
refuge for them in case of war.
Mr.. Aliens Views.
Mr. Allen (NebD spoke Of some political
phases developed in the recent debate
He used to take these debates seriously,
he said. but he had come to know they
were a mere play of politics between the
two old parties The Venezuelan scare
had been started to divert attention from
the financial question, Mr.. Allen said, and
all the jingo speeches on the Monroe COO
trine had gore for naught. 1t all a
political play for party advantages
CriticisinS Bond Issues.
In criticising the bond issuing policy of
the old parties, Mr.. Allen said that shortly
before the Harrison administration closed
Secretary of the Treasury Foster called
together a party of New York bankers
with view of forming a syndicate, and
there was some talk, added the Senator, as
to the profit which would have come to
Mr.. Foster by a bond transaction.
Mr. Platt Comm Immediately interrupt
ed to say that If the Nebraska Senator
made any such statement, he ought to
give his authority.
Mr.. Allen answered that he made no
charge; he mentioned incidentally having
read somewhere to the effect that Mr..
Foster would profit to the extent of two
and one-half millions
Mr.. Allison also insisted that no such
statement should be made without produc-
ing any authority, and Mr.. Allen repeated
that he made no charges, merely repeating
what he had read.

possible that this may be concluded this
week, SO that the full committee may act
on the bill next Monday, although the new
turn of affairs in the Senate. where
rated. may result in such postponement
of action on the naval and river and harbor
bills that it will be impossible to take up
the District before the 11th of May.
AS already stated in The Star, the pro-
gram of the appropriations committee is to
take up the District bill after the river and
harbor bill has been disposed of and to fol-
low the District bill with the fortifications
bill.
To Lay Refrigerntfng Pipes.
The subcommittee of the House District
committee gave a hearing late this after
noon upon the bill authorizing the Wash
ington Cooling Company to lay a system
Of pipe line in a number Of streets in the
city to furnish refrigeration from a CEN
trail station for residences, hotels and
stores. Mr.. David Branson of the COM
pany explained the scheme to the COM
mittee. He said it Is in successful opera

The Bartlett Racing Bill.
1t is understood that the bill creating a
racing commission in the District, and for
other purposes, is practically dead. 1t is
said the racing people would rather worry
along under the existing law than to be
subjected to the bill as amended by the
committee, and therefore the probability Is
remote that the bill will be called up

| Inc churches Beautifully Decorated and
the Services Largely Attended.
The Easter services yesterday were
unusually beautiful and impressive
and the decorations of the churches
were in full keeping with the occasion.
The choral services at ST. Johns and
st. Patrick's churches were exception
ally fine and were rendered by espe-
cially large choirs. The affairs at St
Patrick's church were beautifully dec
Grated with lilies and roses, and the
entire interior of the church presented
horal picture. The church was not
nearly large enough to accommodate
the people who attended the three
early masses, and solemn high mass
was celebrated at 1920 O'Clock before
an immense congregation. Father De-
Siere was celebrant. Father Batens
was deacon and Father Arts sub-dea-
con. Father DeSiere spoke of the day
or resurrection as a day of hope for
all Christian people. and as a day for
us to rise from our sins. AS Christ
rose from the grave some expect to rise
from the graves and be admitted TO the
nome beyond the grave. Mrs. Fitz But
Ter sang a beautiful solo at the offer
tory Solemn vespers were sung in the /
evening and Father Batens preached
a sermon appropriate to the occasion.

service in Walkerville at O'Clock. A
large increase in the membership of the
church during the past year was evil
denced.

tistically decorated with cut and potted
