had rolled away his companions rush.

work be done in the way of repairing
the cruiser San Francisco, on the
ground that the ship Is obsolete and
not worth spending much money on
"A minority report was made by Chief
Naval Constructor Caps, who called
attention to the fact that in his opin'o
the ship is not obsolete end that ir

pair work has already been done on the
vessel, the best interests of the Gov
eminent would not be srbserved by
disseminating work at this poir t. The
Acting Secretary of the NAYS has di'
rected that only sufficient work be done
