HEAVY, HEAVY HANGS OVER
WAY IS FOUND TO PASS
 FOREST RESERVE BILL

Washington, April 22.-That it is consti- tutional for the national government to ac quire land in the states for forest reserves when 1t can be shown that such acquisi- tion is an advantage to the navigation was today declared by the House commit tee on judiciary. The adoption of a reso- lution to this e'scct followed vote hold ing unccnsigutional the creation of the White mountain and Appalachian reser- vation in the absence of requisite infor- nation concerning the effect of the pro- posed reservation on the navigability of the streams which are fed by the waters within it's boundaries.
 Following is the resolution which was unanimously adopted by the committee for the guidance of the House:
 Resolved That the committe is of the opinion that the federal government has no power to acquire lands within state solely for forest reserves, but under it's constitutional power over navigation the
The Birmingham age-herald., 1908-04-23

federal government may appropriate money for the purchase of lands and forest reserves in a state, provided it is made clearly plain that such forests and reserves have a direct and substantial connection with the conservation and im- provement of the navigablity of river actually navlgable in whole or in part; and. provided. that any appropriation made therefor is limited to that purpose.
 Resolved, That the bills referred to in the resolutions of the House are not confined to such last mentioned purposes and are therfeore unconstitutional.
 This action of the judiciary committee opens the way for the friends of the Appalachian project to frame new bill within the constitutional limita tions out lined If such a bill were introduced it would likely be referred to the committee on rivers and harbors, for determination of the physical question of whether forest lands and forest reserves are or can be- come conservers of stream supply and flow-in other words whether the acquisi- tion of such lands can be held to be in aid of naviga bility."

SENATOR HALE EXPLAINS.
Appropriation Held Off Because It Is
 Not Needed.

Washington, April 22.-When the con- sideration of the naval approprlatlon Dlil was resumed in the Senate today, MT. Hale. referring to a publication in a New York paper" which, he salu, an nounced war outside and inside the sen ate. explained why an appropriation Tor the two new battleships and submarines had not been placed in the bill either in the House or the Senate. The House, he said, voted the appropriation down on the ground that it would not be needed until next December, and the Senate com mitte had not put it in the bill because no estimate of the amount that could be expended had been received from the de- nartment. Since the bill was reported, he said, the estimates amounting to $l- 100000 had been received and he would add that amount as an amendment to the bill thus increasing to that extent the all ready heavy appropriations for the navy.
 q say this" added MT. Hale, 'in order that senators and newspaper men and all others may possess their souls III peace.'
 Answering an inquiry by MT. Clay, Sen ator Hale said it was necessary to begin to repair the great vessels of the navy almost as soon as they are set af1oat.
 .sWhep repairs reach the original cost, v he added, it is discovered vessel is obsolete"
 MT. Hale said he had recently talked to Sir William White, formerly head Of the British admiralty, who had stated that the United States had the finest fleet in the world and that the excellence of o,,r navy is rue to the fact that we have waited to build ships while Great Britain had spent hundreds of millions of dollars ,,non ships that have become obsolete.
 The ships you have are the best of their kind.' he told me- said MT. Hale. But you will find just as we have found that the expense of a great navy only oe- gins when you have built the ships
 MT. Clay criticised the large amounts of money carried in the bill for repairs to vessels
 MT. Warren criticised the naval bill so far as it provides for an increase in the navy and the marine corps, saying that when the increase for the army was pro- posed it was placed in a separate bill and brought into the Senate early in the ses- sion so that full discussion on it could be had.
 He referred to the recent remarks of Senator Hale in the Senate in which tn e senator from Maine commented on a newspaper article stating that the policy of the Secretary of War has been to increase the regular army to 1a5.cOO men. MT. Warren said there seemed to be feeling of resentment toward every proposition to enlarge the army, and since the speech of Sem ator Hale of Maine there had beer widespread comment on the extrava- gance of appropriations for that branch of the service. Now, he said the navy bill was before the Senate with provis- ions for an increase in the enlisted force which it was proposed to pass in minute.

GRAND BALL ENDS
 ALL FESTIVITIES
Stay of Fleet At Los Angeles
 Winds Up In Royal Time
ENLISTED MEN IGNORED
Greater Part of the Money Raised For Entertainment Is Spent Upon the
 Jackies and Marines, Who
 Behave Splendidly.

Los Angeles, April 22.-A ball rival ing in it's wealth an inaugural function at Wash ington, brought to a close the fifth day of the stay of the American battleship fleet at the port of Los An geles. The dance was given in the im- mense Shriners' auditorium in honor of the admirals and officers of the heet, and it is estimated that more than l2Oo couples took part in the grand march, which was led by Rear Admiral Charles NJ Thomas and Mrs. Adna R. Chaffee. wife of General Chaffee, chairman of the officers entertainment committee The officers were attired in full even ing dress uniform and glitter of gold lace mingled everywhere with the blended colors of the splendid gowns worn by the ladies.
 The ball was the last big public function of the fleets stay and brought to an exceptionally happy conclusion day of leaden skies and heavy showers which caused postp onement of all out of doors celebrations; the boxing bouts, the barbecues and wild west shows which have constituted the most generous and lavish entertainments planned anywhere in honor of the en- liste,. men of the United States navy. More than 5000 blue jackets and ma rines came ashore Tn the early morn ing, and while disappointed that the principal features of tn day had to be abandoned they turned in and, had a good time despite the rain.
 Three -fourths of the fleet entertain ment fund raised in this city has been spent or the enlisted men. They have shown their appreciation of the at tention devoted to them by making a record of conduct which reflects the high standard of the present enlisted force of the naval esta ablishment.

Appropriation Must Be Made
 For Building BaH|eships
VERY IMPORTANT OMISSION
Roosevelt Calls Act of House In Not Providing For Necessary Appropra- ton For BattIeships Travesty
 On Legislation.
Washington, April 22.-President R.

Washington April 22.-President Rl SJ velt will veto the naval appropria.
 bill should the Senate, as did the House, fail to make any appropriation for the two batteships which are authorized in that measure. The prompt announce ment of this fact to the Senate is regard ed as responsible for the announcement by MT. Hale that he should propose an amendment appropriating s7.OO0,OOO toward the construction of these ships.
 The President stated his position on this point with equal emphasis and sudden ness today, upon learning that the bill, as passed by the House, was simply d paper provision for naval increase. Au- thorization of the ships was made, but no money was carried to make the pro- vision effective. Such legislation as this the President made known to his nu- merous congressional callers as a travesty as to effectiveness, as well as bearing all the earmarks of legislative legerde- main intended to make ridiculous his campaign for the greater navy
 That the President quick and vigorous action is to be effective is evidenced by the action of Chairman Hale of the Sem ate committee in announcing at the proper time he will propose the S,OOO,OoO amendment. As to his threat of veto, the President made it plain that should the wisdom of Congress result in the passage of bill providing for no naval increase whatever, he would have no grounds on which to veto the measure. Any attempt with regard to travesty on legislation by authorizing but not appro- priating funds for ships, he declares he will defeat by the exercise of his con stitutional power of veto.
 There is not the slightest lndication that the President has ceased hls nght for four new battleshps according to the evidence of senators who talked With him today. Senators who are With the President in his fight on this proposition admit tonight that careful survey or their strength in the Senate gives but d vote of 26 in that body in favor Of the Presidents naval programme for four ships.
 Significance is attached to this poll or the Senate in that it is said to show a loss to the President of some Of ms heretofore staunchest supporters In that body Senator Lodge is understood to have quit the fight for the full naval programme advocated by the President, and to have given his reasons personally to the President for so doing. The loss of the influence of the Massachusetts senator is regarded as responsible Tor the weakness shown by the poll, as It is believed by those favoring the pros sramme that had the Presidents sena- torial supporters entered the fight with the yigor he has evidenced his desire in this direction might have been realized.

as they like, and it will go through Per sonally, 1 will have nothing whatever to do with it, beyond doing what I can to help it along"
 While nothing but harmony is in sight on the question of presidential indorse- ment and instructions, there will be hot fight in the committee on resolutions over. the wording of the personal liberty plank. Many delegates favor leaving the liquor question out of the platform entire ly. while others consider it is best to adopt no platform whatever at the present convention. A declaration will however, be made on the subject

ships" suggested MT. Hale. But the army is enlarged because we keep adding countries" retorted
 MT. Warren.
 we have not added any lately. thank God" retorted the senator from
 Maine.
 MT. Hale admitted that he did not
 have the army so much in mind as he
 had the navy when he spoke against
 an increased military establishment. He said he was then preparing to oppose four new battleshlps. Mir. Warren then had read at the desk statement by Secretary Taft dis
 claiming that he was authority for the ueWspaper statement that he had a plan for the standing army of 12b0O0, and a letter from General Bell. chief of staff, declaring that he never heard of such a thing and never thought or doubling the army" Mir. Foraker interposed to have the speech of Secretary Taft delivered ar | Columbus O., April 3. 1908, concerning the enlargement of the army printed in the record and a part of 1t read from the Vice Presidents desk. Senator Warren, with some feeling, said it looked to him that in order to get four, eight or 10 battleshlps TOT the navy the "water must be blackened around inc army and public attention turned from it.
 He said when another bill is brought in. 1t should be "one we know some- thinp about" He does not think the naval appropriation bill was the proper nlace in which to provide for a regi- ment of men.
 Mir. Toraker, commenting on the Co., lumbus, G.. speech of Secretary Taft said that speech indicated that the idea of the secretary was to have Legislation to enable the country in the next 10 years, through the reserve forces as we'll as the regular army, to have 25O.- OU0 men under arms. Before taking up the measure relat- ing to bsttleships, the bill was laid aside until tomorrow
