IN CONGRESS
HOUSE DEFEATS PRESIDENTS
FOUR 6ATTLESHiP PROGRAM

Washington, ID. c., April 1S.-By a
vote of 1879 TO SO the House of Repre-
sentatives decided against the presi-
dents program for our battleships n
committee on naval affairs for two yes
sells of hat type. This result was
reached after a debate which lasted
for four hours and was received with
applause.
The increase was opposed by Mr..
Tawney, chairman of the committee on
appropriations; Mr.. Foss, chairman OF
the committee on naval affairs; Mr..
Williams, the minority leader, and 9TH
ers, and was advocated by Mr.. Hob
son, of Alabama, who declared that in
relation to the increase of other ma
lion Jour battleships would only keep
h American navy abreast of other
great navies.
An amendment by Mr.. Tawney to
educe the number of new battleships
to one was voted down by an even
more decided majority than was Mr..
Hobson's proposition for an increase
TO four.
Mr.. Longworth. of Ohio. favored the
four-ship program.
Il condemn" he said, 'jingoism and
what some people call anti-imperial-
ism. The events of the last few years
have put us in the position of q world
power, and l, for one, am proud OF
1t.
"We all know he declared. there
are many Japanese on the Pacific
coast. and certainly the Caucasian race
will never amalgamate with the yellow
race"
Appealing for four battleships, Mr..
Longworth continued:
The president of the United States
is interested i'm this more thar any
other question in this congress. Prac-
tically every member on this side of
the House and many on the other side
made 1T their special plea for election
that they would stand by the president.
You will never get a better opportu-
nifty than you have now to show the
sincerity of your professions. Vote for
four battleships and you will stand
by the president. / do not want any
man TO vote against his convictions.
but those who are perplexed by a
conflict of authority will be safe i'm
accepting the presidents recommended
ton. There is no politics in this prop
osition for more battleships; IL is only
a question of patriotism"
The voting on the amendment on a
regular division disclosed 10 ayes and
1870 nays ON Mr.. Hobson's proposition
to have four battleships.
Mr.. Hobson then demanded t~ellers,
and the u revealed 83 ayes and 1879
nays.
Mr.. TaWney then offered his amend
ment reducing the number of battle
SHIPS TO one, but it was defeated by
205 nays TO 65 ayes.
insisting upon some concession, Mr..
HoDson moved an amendment provid-
ing for three battleships. which was
voted down by 20S to "a. a larger ma
Jority than any developed on any other
vote AIKEN.
A provision for two fleet GOLFERS of 16
Knots n or 1880 tons capacity. cost
ing $500, 900 each. was adopted.
Amendments were adopted that one
or the battleships and one of the col
liers shall! be built in a navy yard.
The bill as it stands authorizes ex-
p~enditures of $10T, 613, 900.

fight in the House OF Representatives over
the question whether there shall be two
or four battleships authorized for the

ton from both sides of the chamber. Ac-

mended by the committee for improving

loud applause, exclaimed that he had tele-
phoned the admiral, and Admiral Dewey

PLATFORM OF THE
NEW YORK DEMOCRATS

The democracy of the state of New
York, in convention assembled, hereby de-
clareS as follows:
We believe that the democracy of the
nation by the strength of its position on
questions Of great public Importance and
by the blunderS and extravaganza of the
republican party, has this year presented
to il an unusual opportunity to return to
the control of the government of the
country, and TO that end We believe that
every sacrifice which patriotism may sug-
geSt or public sentiment require should
be made by all members of the party
in order 70 again put democratic principles
into actual operation in the administra-
ton of affairs of the government.
We believe that as the country is greater
than the party, so Is the party greater
than any of its members, and therefore
personal ambition and individual prefer
ment must give way TO the good of the
many and the triumph of the cause.
We hold that democratic traditions,
bound up as they are with much that is
greatest in the history of the country,
require that national conventions should
be gatherings of the best intellect, the
ripest judgment and the most unSelish
patriotism Of a party for the purpose Of
studying the needs and striving for the
welfare Of the country at large.
And therefore, representing the party in
the greatest state of the union, a state
whose electoral vote is essential TO demo-
cratic victory. with no animosity or hos
tilitY for any candidate and animated only
by devotion to the principles of the party.
call upon the democracy of the country
to send to Denver In July next, unpledged,
unfettered and uninstructed. their ablest,
strongest and most representative men, to
the end that out of the elaboration and
consultation of such men there may be
then and there nominated a ticket which
will rally to It's support the judgment, con-
science and vote of a majority Of the citi-
zens of the country.

REPUBLICANS OF
MINNESOTA MEET
Speech Of Temporary Chairman
Forecasts Platform Plank
for Tariff Revision.

MINNEAPOLIS, Mimi, April 1S-The re-
publican state convention met mere TO-
day to nominate four delegates at laree
TO the national convention. Samuel II.
Snider was elected temporary cnalr-
man.
Snider's Speech.
In his address Temporary Chairman
Snider said: In the campaign In
which we are about to enter, this tar
if principle is to be assailed upon one
hand, defended and maintained upon
the other. In a recent speech the pres
ent democratic governor or this states
now an active democratic candidate Tor
the presidency, openly declared our
tariff system is as iniquitous as was the
farming out Of taxes in France prior to
the French revolution. That is but a
mild statement of democratic doctrine.
That party has always combatted the
fundamental principle upon which the
tariff is based.
While maintaining the tariff prin-
ciple in it's integrity, the republican
party of Minnesota is firmly commit
ted to the proposition that revision of
the present schedules shall now be
made.
Another issue. the importance OF
which is recognized by both political
parties. is the regulation and control of
the great corporation now engaged in
interstate traffic. That such control
shall be had all are agreed.
"All reform must be based on abso-
ute Justice. That one party to the
contention has been guilty of wrongful
acts does not excuse wrong doing on
the other party. We want industrial
peace"
The platform adopted heartily com
mends Roosevelt's administration, re-
affirms the principle of protection,
but believes the time has come for the
revision of the tariff schedules by a
republican congress-, and i~nStructs the
Minnesota delegation to secur the
nomination Of Taft by all honorable
means.

GIRL WIFE WILL BE
TRIED FOR MURDER
OF HER HUSBAND

Clinton, Ia, April lS.-Trial will be
begun in the case of Mrs. Irene Dolph,
for the murder of her husband, Fred
Delphi, the last week in April. Dolph
was lain on the morning of Feb
ruary 20, while he was asleep, his
slayer blowing his brains out with a
charge from a shotgun.
The circumstances surrounding the
crime all point to the young wife as
the murderer of her husband. and it
is shown that she engaged an attorney
10 defend her before the body was
found. The wife Is said to have con-
fessed the murder to her mother in
Illinois where she went as soon as
the crime was mad known. u this
cannot be used in the evidence. as ii
borders on hearsay.
Mrs. Dolph will be arraigned on a
charge of murder in the first degree
and a conviction will mean the death
penalty and il Will be the first time
in Iowa courts that such a penalty
has been asked against a young girl.

IN CONGRESS
PREDICT NEW LIABILITY
LAW WILL NOT HOLD

Washington, April ia good many
of the lawyers seriously predict that
the new employers liability bill, which
has passed both Houses and is now up
to the president for signature or veto,
will be declared unconstitutional, as
was its predecessor.
Warning of the danger Of this bill
was sounded in the Senate by various
lawyers. Senator Dolliver declared that
he thought the dangerous provision
must have been put into the bill by
somebody who was interested i'm see
ing it prove a failure, and begged the
Senate to change it i'm this regard.
Senator Clark, chairman of the upper
house judiciary committee, suggested
the danger of this provision. and Sena-
tor Foraker admitted his doubts about
IL. But the Senate declined to make
any change in the House
The alleged weak point in the bill is
that 1t provides that all Interstate car
riers by railway shall be subjected to
the various provisions. Now, there are
otAer interstate carriers than hose by
railway equally affected by the inter-
state powers of the federal
government, n it is declared tina to
make a special set OF penalties apply

amounts to taxing one class and reliev-
ing another. which is unconstitutional.
Along with the uncertainty OF the
Senators. 1t now develops tina the
House didn't really expect the bill to
pass the Senate without change. Mem
bers OF the House judiciary committee.
IN Iact, ADMIT that they supposed the
Senate would make some changes. and
that there would be a conference. IN
which the measure could be somewhat
doctored up. But the Senate, having
made no changes, there is no excuse for
conference, and the doctoring will
have to be done by the supreme court.
whose only process is that of amputa-
ton. The chances are considered about
even that the bill will be declared
worthless in the last court.

FOR BRYAN;
He NEEDS HAIR CUT
Man Who Lost Bet in 1895 Has
Not Visited the Barber
Since.

Macon. Mo-. April 17.--If Bryan or some
other democrat is elected president of the
United States this year Uncle Thomas
Benton Robertson, of this city, will inn
mediately hik TO a barber shop for a
shave and a hair cut. Then he win draw
on a Quincy bank for 500 which has been
lying there to his credit since 1896.
When Mr.. Robertson read Bryan's
"cross Of gold" speech that stampeded the
democratic convention in Chicago in 1896,
he threw his hat in the air and shouted
Glory" His cousin, Charles Winfield,
OF Quincy, H., suggested that there
might be a slip between the cup and the
Nebraskan's lips,
Don't you believe it, said Robertson.
THAT mans going to be president. I'm
so sure of ii that / will agree here and
now never again to shave or cut my hair
until he or some other democrat is presi-
dent"
"Pshaw.". said Winfield, you're only
talking, but I'll tell you what I'll do. If
you keep that pledge I'll give you $500 the
day a democrat is elected and will de-
posit 800 TO you credit at Quincy"
Robertson was only Sc then and was tall
and fine looking man. He was more han
ordinarily careful about his personal APP
pearance, and Winfield did not think he
would run the risk of becoming an oddly,
But the Bryan admire: accepted the
challenge, and has faithfully kept his
compact.
Allowing one shave a week at 10 cents
and eight hair cuts a year, Mr.. Robertson
figures he Is $780, 40 to the good for the u
years, but he confesses he would greatly
enjoy the luxury of lifting the boycott
against the BARRIERS.
IF you get this story up right. and
don't stretch 1t too bad" said Mr.. Rob-
ertson. I'm going to send Mr.. Bryan a
copy Of the paper. and ask him If it amt
about time / cut my hair. I'm going to
put 1t directly up TO him"

HALL TOO SMALL;
NEW IN DESPAIR

Chicago, H.. April 16.-Chairman
Harry S. New. of the republican ma
tional committee, regrets that the ma
tional convention was scheduled for
Chicago. He has been trying 20 get
the desired seating capacity I'm the Col

and disgust. The convention hall cam
not be brought up TO the promises of

of the opinion that Chicago should not
have been selected.
The demand for seats is abnormal.
Mr.. New hears much disappointment

themselves entitled to a fair view of
the proceedings. but who will not get
nearer the convention than the side
