YORKTOWN BOARD Of
INQUIRY MAKES RE:P|9RT
Forwards to Washington the
Findings on fIunboat's
Leaky Boiler

VALLEJO. Feb. 2O.-The gunmounts
on the Yorktown are being altered and
a few minor repairs made. 1t is not
thought that she will remain long at
the yard. The Board of Inquiry in re-
gard to the leaky boilers in the gun
boat has made it's report to Washing
ton and nothing further can be learned
of the matter until the information is
given out, at the capital. Foreman
Boilermaker Kavanaugh and his men
seem to have done good Job on the
Yorktown's boilers, and If anything
was wrong no blame can be attached
to their work.
The work of cribbing the new dock
has made considerable progress dur
ing the past week, but shortage of
lumber is threatening to delay and per-
haps stop the work temporarily. The
great demand for lumber in rebuilding
San Francisco has to a large extent
interfered with outside contracts, and
the drydock company is experiencing
great difficulty In obtaining sufficient
material to keep the work going.

NEW DISTRICT JUDGE

WASHINGTON, Feb. 20.-A bill pro-
viding for an additional Judge in the
Northern District of California was
offered in the Senate today by Per-
kins. It is similar to the Kahn bill
pending in the House.
Efforts are being made to arrange
a conference on the bill already passed,
which provided for the California Dis
trict Judge and was amended by the
Senate to provide for two additional
Circuit Judges for the Ninth Circuit.
If this effort fails the Californians will
try to pass the new bills 1t is be-
lieved that If a conference is held the
bill may be amended by providing only
one additional Circuit Judge. In this
shape the two houses would probably
agree to it.
Senators Carter and Piles. who Sc
cured the Circuit Judge amendment,
have become convinced that the House
will not agree to it, and they show
signs of weakening. They are aiming
ultimately at the creation of the Tenth
Z. JUDICIAL Circuit, to be composed OF
certain Northwestern States and
Alaska.
Both California Senator's appear to
think that w c. Van Fleet will be
appointed District Judge If the bill
passes They say they have not rec
commended, anybody, but are willing
to indorse Van Fleet at the proper
time.

FIGHT AGAINST SEATING
UTAH SENATOR IS LOST
Vote Is Taken After Several
Speeches Concerning
His Life
POLITICS IS CHARGED
Dubois Accuses President
of Taking Undue In
terest in Affair

WASHINGTON, Feb. 20.-Senator
Reed Smoot retains his seat in the
United States Senate This was decided
today by a vote of AZ to IS, ending a
long contest. A two-thirds vote would
have been. necessary to adopt the un-
seating resolution
Eighteen Senators were paired max
ing the actual standing on the resolu-
ton 81 for and 81 against.
The Smoot resolution was called up
soon after the Senate convened. Every
seat in the galleries was filed. and
during the actual voting the standing
room on the floor was crowded by
members of the House and employees
of the Senate.
Senators Dubois, Hansbrough, New
lands, Bacon and Burrows, the latter
chairman of the committee, spoke
against Smoot today, while Senators
Beveridge, Dolliver and Foraker spoke
for him.
When the voting began Smoot retired
to the Republican cloakroom to await
the result Senator Hopkins offered his
amendment to the committee resolution
and 1t was adopted. This made a two
thirds vote necessary to carry the un-
seating resolution. 1t was adopted on
the ground that such resolution car
ried by majority would have been un-
constitutional.
Senator Carmack then offered as a
substitute for the amended resolution
a simple one, declaring that Senato tor
Smoot should be expelled" The effect
of this would have been 10 displace
the committee resolution, if adopted,
and it was defeated.
Then came the vote on the commit
tee resolution as amended, which was
as follows:
Resolved. two-thirds of the Senator's present
concurring therein. That Reed Smoot is not enti-
tied to a seat as Senator of the United Sta ties
from the State of Utah.
Although it wass foregone conclu-
sion that the resolution would fail,
and thus end the long fight against the
Utah Senator, the roll call contained
some surprises. OF the forty-two votes
in favor of Smoot. three were cast by
Blackburn, Clark of Mon
tana and Daniel. OF the twenty-eight
votes against Smoot, nine were Repub-
licans, being cast by Burrows. Clapp,
Du Pont, Hale, Hansbrough, Hemen-
way, Kittredge, La Toilette and Smith.
At the conclusion of the voting there
was rush of Senators to the cloak
room to congratulate Smoot
Dubois took direct issue with Sen
ator Knox's statement that "polygamy
in Utah has ended"
gone into it since the manifesto" said
Dubois Turning his attention to Sem
ator Smoot, Dubois remarked:
I know that strong influences are at work
The President of the United States is an open
friend of the Senator from Utah You all know
1t. He wants him seated. You have the Nor
mon vote. You have every one of them, my
friends upon the Republican SIDE But it has
cost you the moral support Of the Christian wo-
men and men of the United States.
Senator Beveridge followed with
plea for Shoots retention. He be-
lieved the greatest wrong that could
be done any man was the ruin of his
reputation when his life had been
stainless He said Smoot was not

TUBE SERVICE MAY NOT
Be GRANTED THIS CITY
Senate Thinks Trust Is Try
ing to Hold Up the
Government
HOUSE IS IN FAVOR
Passes Bill for $25,OoO a
Mile, $4,000 Above the
Estimate
HOUSE rs IN FAVOR

WASHINGTON. Feb. 2O.-San Fran
cisco will not have any pneumatic tube
service unless the Senate is more gen
erous to the tube trust than the House.
The provision in the postoffice appro-
priation bill allowing s1.SSS.759 for tube
service in San Francisco and certain
other cities at the rate of $4,000 a
mile was ruled out on point of order
made by Sherley, Democrat, of Ken
lucky.
The point of order was technical. and
the real reason why the House sat
down on the item was that it believed
the tube trust was attempting to hold
up the Government. Estimates were
made year ago, and the department
was authorized to contract for tube
service at a cost of $4,000 a mile. No
bid was received for the San Francisco
system, and postal officials testified be-
fore the House committee that they had
been informed that the tube company
regarded the allowance as too small.

NATIONS POWDER BILL
AN EXORbITANT ONE
Senator Says Government
Could Make Explosive
for Half
CONSUMPTION HEAVY
Five Million Pounds An
nually at the Cost of
Seventy-Five Cents

WASHINGTON. Feb. 2O.-The naval
appropriation bill was passed by the
Senate today. The only amendments
adopted added s250.OOO to the Item for
coal and transportation and $4,000
for a power plant at Norfolk navy
yard.
Senator Culberson noticed that the
Senate committee had doubled the
amount for coal as stated. He asked
If these items had any reference to
the gathering of large fleets. such as
the President was in the habit of or
dering, or to the forthcoming exposi-
ton 1t Jamestown. Senator Hale re-
piled that the expenses of the navy
in time of peace for ammunition were
large.
Senator Stone said that he had ascer-
tanned that the annual consumption of
powder by the army and navy was
about 100000 pounds. that 1t cost
the Government rs cents a pound and
that the Government could manufac-
ture this powder for about half that
amount. He had intended to address
the Senate at some length in advocacy
of Government manufacture of powder,
but would content himself with sub
mitting several letters from certain
powder manufacturers of Kansas City,
Peoria, ILL.,, and York, Pa.
Senator Carmack offered an amend
ment appropriating 100000 for a cast
iron and steel foundry at the Washing
ton navy yard. but this was defeated
on a point of order made by Hale.
The naval bill carries an amendment
appropriating 100000 for a central
light and power plant at Mare Island
and 100000 additional for coal sup
plies and coaling stations. This sum
will be spent to complete the coaling
station at California City Point and
practically complete the station al San
