PROTESTS AGAINST
SHIP SUBSIDY BILL
Pure Oil Company Asserts Great Oceal
Trust Is Forming in Anticipation
of Legislation.

Members of the House yesterday re-
ceived a petition from committee rep
resenting the Pure Oil Company, of
Pittsburg. representing 700 oil producers,
protesting against the passage of the
ship subsidy bill.
The petitioners declare that the ship
building industry, which the bill pro-
poses to subsidize, is in q most pros
porous condition, with vast capital pro-
itably employed. and that it is in no
need of a subsidy.
They charge that a subsidy viii ere
ate a monopoly of ocean carrying trade
with power to levy at will tribute upon
every American industry.
In anticipation of the passage of the
bill, the petition declares, great ocean
ship trust is being formed. and that by
an amendment to the bill in the SEN
ate ii has been exempted from the pro-
visions of the Sherman antitrust act
Various other reasons are assigned
why the bill should not become a Law.
The petition charges that the measure
violates the spirit of the Constitution.
The Pure OIL Company makes special
protest against the passage of the bill
because it gives bounty to tank steam
ers carrying petroleum, which has rank
ed third as an export, and thus dis
eliminates in favor of some shippers,
prepared to take advantage of its pro-
visions. and against all who cannot
transport in Subsidized ships.
The protest is signed by J. W. Lee.
Thomas W. Phillips, and Clarence Walk
er, of Pittsburg.

*lES7E72DA VS. PROCEEDINGS IN CONGRESS-
BILL PASSED
OVER MAJORITY LEADERS

rigationists would move to limit further
debate to five minutes.
Upon one occasion Mr.. Sutherland. a
friend of the measure, moved that debate
close IN five minutes. and was preparing
to consume that time himself
MIR. Hepburn moved to amend by lin
iting discussion to thirty seconds. Mr..
Sutherland created a laugh by accepting
the amendment, and then simply stating
that he would ask to have his remarks
printed In the Record"
Representative CowherG Dem, MOI
closed the discussion in favor of the bill,
with an eloquent appeal for its passage.
He said It was not often that the mi
nority were enabled to vote for a meas
ure that was destined to pass, but this
was ore exception
During the course of the debate Mr.
Hepburn tRen., Iowa. had deplored the
passage of the bill on the ground that II
would open up new farms, the product of
which would come into competition with
the products of the farms of the East and
Middle West, and tend TO decrease prices.
Mr.. Cowherd replied to this argument
He said that the farmers of the East
allotted eight hours for labor, worked
four of these. and then loaned their
were obliged to work fourteen hours a
day to make living and pay interest
to the Eastern farmers.
He declared that droughts in the Mis-
souri, Valley had in one year caused
more damage than did the civil war
and he predicted that fri cation would
remedy this. BY storing the waters de-
vastating flood would be prevented, and
as the water was spread out over the
arid regions they would prevent the
air from becoming overheated and pro-
ducing typhoons.
Mr. Robinson offered a substitute for
the bill, embracing a plan of irrigation
recommended several years ago by "a
commission appointed to investigate the
subject. This was defeated by viva
voce vote.
The committee arose and reported the
bill to the House. Mr.. Ray demanded
the yeas and nays on the passage of the
measure. The result was favorable to
the measure-146 10 50.

4 Bogey Man.
Mr.. Mondcl! said that the amendmen;
offered by Mr.. Grosyenor was a DOGGY
man, intended TO frightcn the support
ers of the measure against voting for it.
Debate upon the proposition had ut
this time continued for an hour and Il
half. and Mr.. Underwood called the at
tention of the friends of the measure to
what he declared TO be an attempt by
the opponents to prolong the discussion
until the bill should fail for want of a
quorum.
Under the rule adopted for the con-
sideration of the measure, he said. 1t
would die if action was not had upon it
before the days adjournment
Mr.. Cannon (Rep., I'D opposed the
bill. If he had the power he would
transfer to the States the arid public
lands within their borders and let them
work out their own salvation. He was
afraid that ultimately and not very re-
motely Congress would be asked to make
direct appropriations for the work to
be undertaken. amounting to the recla-
nation of $50 OJ0, 900 acres all told.
He would like to hear explicitly on
this point from the gentlemen advo-
eating the bill. 1t was an experience
meeting, he said, and he urged them to
speak up.
Amendment Defeated.
A vote was then take on Mr. eros
yenor's amendment, with the result that
It was defeated-35 to 10. An amendment
was offered by Mr.. Dalzell providing that
the cost and expense of administering the
public lands in the seventeen States and
Territories designated should be deducted
from the sum devoted to the reclamation
fund.
Numerous other amendments were Of
fered by the opponents of the bill, but all
were defeated.

When the bill came up yesterday
Mr. GaIlnger stated that the Senate
District Committee wished all its

were not Of great Importance. and that
as the bill is much needed. it had
been thought best not to amend it, in
the interest of avoiding further delay.
Senator Stewart said that he would
not oppose the bill. but that he believed
the telephone situation in the District
should be investigated carefully, and
that he would insist on such an investi-

the Supreme Court two weeks ago.
An amendment of this nature was in
troduced. but it was not considered by
the District Committee and will now be

The first executive session was taken

ceive the message from the President
and then on motion of Mr.. Warren,
member of the Military Affairs Commit

bitter on both sides. the entire grounds
of the objection to Captain Crozier be
ing threshed over fully.
Captain Crozier was nominated early
in the session. His nomination was act
ed on adversely two months ago by the
Committee on Military Affairs.
The two chief objections made to the
nomination in the committee and yes
terday in the Senate were. first, that
the army law prohibits the appointment
Of any officer of less rank than lieu
tenant colonel to be chief of bureau:
aud. second, that Captain Crozier's in
ventions OF army ordnance make 1t in
advisable to appoint him chief of bu-
