BATTLESHIP QUESTION
RESTS WITH PRESIDENT
Senator Hale Thinks Order for
Construction Should Wait on
Events in Far East.
BACON AND THE TRUSTS

WASHINGTON, April 25-Whether the
President shall order the construction of
the battleship provided for in the naval
appropriation bill or wait until the war
in the far East demonstrates the compare
tive utility of the big sea fighter and the
torpedo boat submarine craft, is a ques-
ton raised in the Senate to-day by Mr..
Hale. of Maine, on the adoption of the con-
ference report. 1t vas developed that the
language of the bill was permissive and
that the President and secretary. of the
navy could defer action if they deem 1t
advisable Mr.. Hale declared that if he
were secretary of the navy he should not
dare to go on now and commit the govern
ment to the building of an immense battle
ship for it would not surprise him if events
of the Russian-Ja paneSe war demonstrated
that the Sl50,000.O00 paid for the big battle
ships was a bad investment for this gov
eminent. Several other senator's couhseleu
delay.
Mr. Bacon discussed trusts, replying to
the recent speech of Mr.. Dolliver. he de-
which make il possible for American pro-
ducts to be sold abroad for a less price
that American consumers are required 10
pay He said he would give cohcrs re ea WINS
machines sold in the United states at 30
and SIS in England ,
Can the senator give the name VI INC
company?" asked Mr.. Aldrich. He mas
said that he would give concrete cases
II can give the name and later Will 90
So" Mr.. Bacon then read letter from
Charles NJ. Schwab TO II. G. Frick giving
the cost of manufacturing steel rails, whlcn
Mr. Bacon said showed that the trust
needed no protection against English steer
manufacturers. The letter said rails could
be sold at profit at SIC per ton.
1T will be very difficult to convince pig
iron producers of Alabama and surrounding
States. who have been receiving SIS and $50
for their IRON said Mr.. Aldrich, that the
statement is correct
THAT is information given by Mr.. Schwab
in private letter." said Mr.. Bacon
II don't care how private ii is. exclaimed
Mr. Aldrich, "he can be mistaken as well
as any one else. What he states is abso-
lutely untrue and absurd.
Mr. Bacon contended that Mr.. Schwab
stood at the head and front of the steel
industry. and, therefore, spoke by author
ity. The bill providing for American
register. for the steamer Beaumont was
passed.
The Military Academy bill. the last of the
general appropriation measures, was under
consideration at the hour when memorial
services for the late Representative Thomp-
son, of Alabama, were begun. Eulogies
were delivered by Messrs. Morgan, Dolliver,
Berry, Hopkins and Pettus.
