RISK LIVES TO SAVE SHIP
Bv Associated Press.

bV Associated 1TeSs
SANTA BARBARA. April 25.-The
accident to the engines on the Missouri
that occurred today on the run of the
fleet from Santa Monica to Santa Bar
bara proved to have been more serious
than at first reported.
The high pressure cylinder head of
the port engine blew out, and the en-
gine room was quickly filled with es-
Gaping steab. No one was injured. The
supply of steam was cut off after
heroic work by the engine room force
and all danger soon passed. The Mis-
souri, came into port under the star
board engine alone, consequently the
vessel was out of line when the fleet
came to anchor.
A careful survey of the engine will
be made tomorrow to ascertain the eX-
tent of the damage. The accident will
not interfere with the Missouris con-
tinuing to San Francisco, where repairs
will be made.
A new hood has been ordered from
the Newport News shipyards, where
the vessel was built. and it will be sent
to San Francisco There were ten men
in the ngine room at the time of the
accident.

Postponed Until
Monday
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
WASHINGTON, April 25.-In a
speech in the senate today Senator
Lodge announced his intention of vot-
ing for the four battleships amendment.
When the naval appropriation bill
came up today the Piles amendment
for four battleships was the pending
business. No one appearing to discuss
the provision a viva voce vote was
taken which resulted in it's defeat.
Senator Piles was absent from the
chamber when the vote was taken, but
soon returned, and when he was ad
Vised of what had occurred said he had
been called out and did not think 1t was
fair to have his amendment voted III
that way.
Mr.. Hale promptly disavowed any
purpose to obtain party action and
asked that by unanimous consent the
vote be considered a S not having been
taken A vote will be taken Monday
Senator Culberson moved an amend
ment requiring contractors construct
ing battleships to work their men but
eight hours day.
Senator Aldrich regretted that such
statements as those Senators Beveridge
and Piles made yesterday should have
found utterance in the senate.
In my opinion" he said, those sena-
tors had no authority whatever to
speak Tor the president Ol llle ClllV'
States. as for instance, when the sena
tor from Indiana said If this amend
ment should be considered in executive
session it would receive the unanimous
vote of the senate"
Mr.. Beveridge protested that he was
not quoted correctly and Senator Hale
/ interrupted and said that Mr.. BeVe-
ridge did say that If this matter could
be discussed in executive session there
would be no doubt that four ships
would be ordered.
Mr. Aldrich deprecated all talk of a
| likelihood of war with friendly nations.
Books Must Re Presented
The special committee of the house
| investigating charges against the
Electric Boat company this afternoon
entered an order for the production
Of the books and papers of the Electric
Boat company, the Lake Torpedo Boat
