signed the State oil refinery bill and it
will become a law as soon as IL is printed

Of the legislators only in regard TO the

pany. The message also urges the Legis-
lsture to supplement the refinery bill with
railroad legislation which will prevent the
trust from defeating the purpose Of the
act.

refinery. of which 500 900 will be used for
the construction Of the plant, which will
have a capacity OF 1000 barrels OF crude

ard says IL is taking only about 10000
barrels of oil out OF the field, but the pro-
ducers say IL is taking more than that.
Reports from Independence, Peru and
other places indicate that the Standard
IS buying there also.

About twenty-five Republican members
are saying they will vote to make material

interested in procuring the passage Of the
n yer and Harbor and the Public Buildings

sideration OF the bills they have prepared.

The opposition on the naval bill became
so pronounced to-day that Chairman Foss
OF the Naval Committee said, in answer
10 question put TO him on the floor that
he would not undertake to have vote upon
the bill until next week.
Mr.. Foss made rho announcement that
he could not command enough Republican
votes TO pass the bill, unless it provided
for reduction in the number OF armor-
clads, If not the elimination Of the section
appropriatng for them.
The opponents OF the bill are also talking
about n fight on the arnor plate section.
Their plans are not defined. and for that
reason it is suspected by the leaders that II
they will consent 10 a consideration Of the
Public Buildings bin and will agree not to
sacrifice the River and Harbor measure
on pressure from the Senate the Naval bill
can be passed without material change
The opposition has been sufficient to
bring c. NJ Schwab Of the Bethlehem Steel
Company to Washington to watch the
interests Of the so-called armor plato trust.
II arrived here this evening, announcing
that he was on his way South with the
other Pittsburgers.
Chairman Gillett OF the Public Buildings
Committee offered a resolution providing
for three hours consideration of the omnibus
public building bill at any time the Com
mittee on Rules would consent. Chairman
Burton also put in similar resolution
covering his bill. The leaders will under
take 10 pass the Naval b.l without making
any concessions. BY giving Mr. Foss
