NEED LARGER SHIPS
Naval Committee States That
Few of Our Ships Have
Real Fighting Value.
(By the Associated Press.O

Washington, April 2S-The naval
programme for 1908, as presented in the
Naval Appropriation Bill and accom-
panying report filed today by Chairman
Foss of the House Naval Com
mittee points out that comparatively
few of our ships have any real fighting
value He accompanies this with a
statement of the enormous naval arma-
ment and programs of other countries.
The total number of vessels of our
navy. built and building, is 1873 and the
total coast will be 1926, OS2, 2O9. The re-
port adds:
''Our naval prowess lies almost entirely
in our IS battleshps, armored cruisers
and 81 protected cruisers Ships of the
battle line practically alone determine
the naval strength of a nation"
Referring to the foreign naval pro-
gram the report says:
"Of all the countries, Germany has
been building during the last few years
faster than any of the others. This
program will give her in all 38 battle
ships, IA large cruisers, SO smaller
cruisers and SO torpedo boats
Concerning new ships for our navy, the
report says:
''The committee recommended that the
President have constructed two first
class battleships, carrying the heaviest
armor and most powerful ordnance for
vessels of their class upon a trial dis
placement of about 10000 tons, and to
have the highest practicable speed and
great radius of action, and to cost, ex-
elusive of armor and armament not ex-
ceeding 81 900 each; two first class
armored cruisers of about 1850 tons
trial displacement, to cost, exclusive OF
armor and armament, not exceeding
a. $50 900 each, and two gunboats of
about 1000 tons trial displacement.
at has been deemed advisable to in
sert a provision, leaving it to the dis
erection of the Secretary of the Navy to
build any or all ships in Government
yards, but making it mandatory on him
, to construct at least one battleship or
one armored cruiser in such navy yard
as he may designate, as an experiment
and upon the completion of said ship he
shall make a detailed report showing the
relative cost of one built by the govern
ment and one by contract. An appro-
priation of $175,000 is recommended for
each yard in which ship is built.
THE complete cost of the two first
class battleships, two first-class armored
cruisers and two gunboats, with total
| tonnage of $4,000 tons, will approximate
$29, 500, 600. These battleships and cruis-
ers will be larger than any heretofore
authorized by Congress"
The appropriation bill carries ST., $50,
$50, slightly below the appropriation
made last year.
The bill provides as follows for navy
yards and docks:
Norfolk $4,000; Key West 90 900;
Pensacola $500; New Orleans 1899 900
Charleston $250,000

from three to four months each. Robert
F. Wynne, commanding the Marine
Guard of the Chicago; Robert e. Led

Lieut.. John S. Doddridge, of the Chicago
and marine named Wilfred Langley,
who were arrested Friday night on the
charge of disorderly conduct, were
brought up at the San Marco police court

fenced to four months and ten days i'm
prisonment. The other prisoners were
sentenced to three months imprisonment.
All the prisoners were sentenced to pay
costs and damage.
According to q special dispatch from
Rome. the American officers at Venice
on Friday, asserted that they simply
tried to free themselves for defense
against some people exasperated by
their involuntary upsetting of tables.
They denied the charge of rebellion
against the police. The commander of
the Chicago, Captain James Fl. Dayton,
accompanied by the American consul,
visited the project of Venice and ex-
pressed regret at the incident. Captain
Dayton also ordered all the men of the
cruiser who were ashore on leave to re-
turn on board the Chicago. He also
took energetic measures to prevent
further disorders and threatened severe
punishment. A number of windows were
alleged to have been smashed by drum

ment in Venice against the Americans.
One man is said to have been badly in
jured in the row that led to the arrest
of the officers who were sentenced today
Commander Beehler, the United States
naval attache to Germany, Austria and
Italy, who was in Venice at the time, is
quoted as expressing great chagrin at
the officers misbehavior. He said that
they enjoyed no special privileges ashore,
and would be judged according to the
laws of Italy. Afterward, if found guilty,
they would be tried by court martial on
the charge of conduct unbecoming Off
GERS and gentlemen. .
At the trial in the San Marco police
court the prisoners admitted they were
intoxicated when the disorders occurred
and pleaded that they acted in self de-
fence when mobbed by the crowd, The
public prosecutor demanded a sentence
of seven months Imprisonment for Assis-
tant Surgeon Ledbetter and sentences of
six months imprisonment for the others.

Saw the Wreck of the Woodside.
(Rv the AssOciated Press. J

Norfolk, Va, April 2S.-Capt. Melon
aid, of the United States collier Sterling
which arrived at this port today, reports
that about five o'clock on Saturday
morning, April &c, in. latitude 80. and
longitude 1924 west he sighted the
wreck of the schooner B. r. Woodside
floating about in the sea. The vessel was
total wreck and was drifting helplessly
about. No signs of the crew of the
schooner were visible and nothing Is
known as to their fate. 1t is supposed
they were al! washed overheard and
drowned through the heavy gales which
prevailed off the Atlantic coast during
the past week.
Capt Mcdonald tried to set fire to the
vessel, as she was directly in the regu-
lar route used by transatlantic ships
bound to and from Hampton Roads, but
found it impossible to do so.
