THE HOUSE NAVAL BILL
TO BUILD HALF
THE NEW SHIPS.
Pacific Coast Loses It's Four Per
Cent DifTerential-But May Bid on
More Than one Vessel.

WASHINGTON, May 19.-The House
bulls and bears gOred and mangled the
naval bill today so that the chair
man could barely recognize it. The
Pacific Coast was keenly interested in
the proceedings, and its members
watched the mauling process, occa-
sionally jumping into the arena them
selves.
The net result of the days activity
was a decided change of policy in war
ship construction. Half of the new
vessels are to be built in the Govern
ment yards. The 4 per cent differential
long enjoyed practically as monopoly
by the Union Iron Works was Topped
Off and hereafter, if the bill goes
through the Senate as it stands, Paci-
fic Coast builders will be forced to COM
pete with Eastern yards on an even
basis, without any allowance for the
higher price of materials or labor,
There is one consolation in the stu
alton for the Pacific Coast contractors,
however. They are not restricted to
one vessel, as the bill originally stood.
This provision was stricken out. Now,
if any contractor bids low enough, he
may get all the ships except those or
dered built in the Government yards,
and if he happens to be a Pacific Coast
contractor all these ships might be
constructed on the Coast In brief. the
Pacific and Atlantic Coasts are treated
exactly alike.
Roberts OF Massachusetts offered an
amendment, drafted by MetCalf, pro-
viding for the construction of one bat
tle-ship one cruiser and one gunbOat
il. the Government yards. 1t precipi-
/ tated long debate, but finally
triumphed, though the chairman of the
committee of the whole, Sherman of
New York, had to be overruled. He
sustained the point of order against
/ Roberts amendment and Roberts
appealed. The chair was defeat
co. lOS to ~, as counted by the tell
ers. Then the amendment was adopted
/ by viva vUCe vote, and the bill re-
ported to the House, which speedily
adopted the amendments and passed
the bill. The California members stood
solid on the amendment for the con-
StructiOn in Government yards.
Metcalf declared that the striking out
or the differential would paralyze war
ship construction on the Pacific Coast
and tend to destroy private shipbuild-
ing enterprises.
Representative Coombs found it I'M
necessary to offer the amendments he
had prepared as striking out of the
/ provisions included in Mudd's point of
order eliminated also the restriction
against the construction of more than
one of each class of vessels on the Pa
! CifiC Coast.

THE SUGAR QUESTION.

WASHINGTON, May 19.-George r.
Mosle, a sugar broker, testified before
the Committee on Relations With Cuba
today that HaVemeyer was not inter-
ested in certain plantations in Cuba as
had been alleged. He said there was
about $4,000 tons of sugar stored in
Cuba now. The Cubans, he said, be-
lieved concessions would be made and
accepted the Plat amendment on that
account.
When he asserted that the Cubans
had discontinued work because many
OF the people did not have the money
with which to go on, Senator Teller
asked: will you tell me any firm in
Cuba that has suspended operations
and has not ground it's CROP"
Il cannot"
NO, nor anybody else" remarked
Teller.
John Farr, sugar dealer contradict
ed statements made by Leavitt as to
the countervailing duty, saying Cuba
got all the benefit of it, as did other
cane sugar producing countries. He
said if the present low prices of sugar
continued the production in Cuba
would be much less. In Jamaica, he
said, forty-seven estates had failed last
week; in San Domingo the growers are
in the thrOes of possible bankruptcy,
while in Demarara the estates probably
will last a year or two.

Big and Little Bob Fitzsimmons are
becoming familiar figures on the streets
of San Francisco. says the San + ram
cisco Chronicle The l&nlSy, treckle-
faced good natured prize-fighter and
his seven-yeap-o son, with hands
gripped together, are ambling about
everywhere these days. The father has
nothing to do save wait for an opportu-
nifty to meet James j. Jeffiries, and the
son has nothing to do at all. So, with
the leisure this gives them, they are
making an inspection of the city more
complete in character than tourists
usually indulge in.
The two BObs walked through China
town the other day, took a stroll about
the Mission, saw everything on Market
street from the ferry to Third ST. eet,
and looked long and hard at the wide
stretch of scenery visible from the
tower of the Chronicle building. Later
they stood in front of the ladies' en-
trance to the Palace Hotel whit the
elder Bob consulted city guide.
Where do you want to go next, SOM"
he asked
ITO bed" solemnly replied young Bob
I'm tired"
This was contingency the father
had overlooked but he accepted the
situation as any parent should and took
the yOungster to his room, tucked him
in bed, and went down to the big CEN
trail court to rejoin his friends.
Il forget that boy is only years old"
he said. 81 guess | walked him about

thinking what l was doing. l just grab

Bob was asked if he was keeping him

replied with emphasis:

tomorrow and make a good showing
if I had to. If these people who think
I'm too old to fight would put in one
day with me they'd change their minds

life"
Then Bob INDUCED in a brief double
shuttle on the tiled pavement and said
I'm going to walk out to the Cliff
House now. Do any of you fellows
want to come along?"
Two volunteers offered and the triT
was made. On the way back Bob is
| said to have remarked:

BURNED THE CHURCH.

The destruction by fire of the Metho-
dist Episcopal Church South, at Fres-
no, California, followed at short inter-
walls by two more fires in the parsOn-
age, pointed strongly to arson. Now
the mystery has been solved. Rev.
George Miller, the pastor of the ILL
fated church, had adopted a ten-year-
old boy from the Children's Home So
oiety of California at Los Angeles, and
this yOungster, whose name is Walter
Kernehan, had on various occasions
manifested his dislike for preachers.
He repeatedly asked Mr., Miller why he
did not do something else besides
preaching, and, after the church fire,
was known to have said: Now you'll
have to do something besides preach
ing" This and similar remarks led
Chief of Police Morgan to make an in
vestigation, which produced conclusive
evidence of the boys guilt as an incen-
diary.
