RAPS CHEFS DEFENSE PLAN
eURToN IN HOUSE OPPOSES IN.
CREASE IN NAVY.
Representative Says That Addition OF
Four eattleshtps 10 Wholly illogical
In His Mind.

Washington, Apr. 16.-After devot-
ing half an hour to dilatory tactics the
house resumed consideration of the
naval appropriation bill and very soon
reached the provision for the increase
Of the navy, around which much inter-
est clusters.
Representative Hobson's amend
ment to the naval appropriation bill
providing for four battleships instead
Of two. as reported by the naval COM
mittee, was defeated by the house, 70
to 100. The result was received with
loud applause.
Mr.. Burton Of Ohio was prompt to
take the floor in opposition to the bat
tleship provision. He declared that
the Monroe doctrine was not main
tanned by the military armament.
Mr.. Hobson of Alabama interrupted
to ask what in the absence of abso-
lutte power to arbitrate, would protect
the country.
Our prestige and the strength Of
the nation will protect U.S." responded
Mr.. Burton. amid storm Of ap-
plause.
"our strength" he continued, mot
only the strength of the navy and
army. but our strength az a people
will protect u.s.
No nation, he said, wished to quarrel
with US. He cited the instance of fric-
tton in maintaining the Monroe doc
trine in Venezuela against the pre-
tensions Of Great Britain when this
country had but three battleships and
Great Britain 30, with the sentiment
Of Europe on the side of Great Brit
ain. That, he declared, was an illus
tration Of the influence of the nation
resulting from its inherent strength.
I'VE cannot be compared with
China" he said. evidently referring
to the presidents message, amid re-
newed applause; "we are not in the
same class"
The claim for four battleships he
pronounced to be wholly illogical.
AT this time." he proceeded, "let us
continue our traditional policy, not Of
non-resistance. but Of confidence in
our strength as nation, our military
strength, our material strength, but,
most of all, in the great moral and po-
litical ideas that have made our coun-
try great, our ideas of Justice and the
equality of man. Those great ideas
are stronger than battleships. Along
this line lies our destiny and our
glory"
Mr.. Cochran Of New York then made
striking speech in favor of the
building Of four new Ships
In the course of the battleship de-
bate in the house Representative Hob
son said that the president had told
him as an explanation of his state
ment that he would veto any public
building bill that might be sent to him
unless he secured more battleships,
that he had heard of threat by the
house that unless the naval program
WAS cut to two ships the house would
refuse to pass any public building
bills.

-PLEk IS VAIN.
NEW YORK SESSION
is SCENE OF FIGHT
Sharp Clash Over Mccarren Delegates
Promises to End In Question Re-
aardinq Choice for Presidential
Candidacy.

Dover, Del, Apr. 15.-Prior to the
afternoon session of the convention
a letter written by Judge Gray to
Thomas F. Bayard, chairman Of the
state committee. was shown the lead
ers in which the Judge requested en-
phatically that the convention refrain
from indorsing him for the presiden-
tial nomination.
The letter, in part, is as follows:
1T would, indeed, be proud dis
tinction to be the standard-bearer of
the Democratic party at this time and
for such a cause. There are many
reasons, however, why such distinc-
tion is outside the range of my am
bition, and these reasons compel me
to say that l am unwilling that the
delegates from this state to the Denver
convention be instructed for me, as
cannot, under any circumstances, con-
sent.
You will therefore please convey
my wishes in this respect to the con-
vention which is to assemble at Dover
and express to it my positive and en-
phatic request that delegates to be
elected shall not be Instructed to pre-
sent my name to the Denver conven-
tion. In saying this I am not unmind-
full, as I have already assured you,
of the long-continued kindness and
partiality of my friends in the Demo
cratic party of this state, but I owe
it to myself and to them to speak with
perfect frankness as I have done"
In spite of Judge Gray's declinatfon
the convention indorses him and in
structs the delegates to vote for him.
Scrap at New York Session.
New York, Apr. 15.-There was
good fighting all along the line in the
New York Democratic state conven-
tion to name delegates to the Denver
convention Tuesday. 1t began with
sharp clash over the 16 McCarren
delegates from Brooklyn and promised
to finish with battle royal over the
question whether the delegates at
large should go to the national con-
vention with the William ]. Bryan tag
on them. Daniel F. Cohalan appeared
before Justice Crane in the supreme
court and argued that the injunction
restraining the state committee from
interference with the names of the
McCarren. delegates on the temporary
roll be vacated. Isaac M. Kapper, for
McCarren, opposed Mr.. Cohalan' s
request.
Resolution indorses Bryan.
The following resolution was re-
ferred to the committee on resolutions
without being read: Whereas, 1t is
the universal sentiment that Hon
William Jennings Bryan be the
choice of the Democratic party as
it's nominee for president Of the
United States.
Whereas, Several counties in this
state have instructed the delegates
elected to this convention to vote for
resolutions indorsing him as the
party's standard-bearer, therefore
be 1t
Resolved. That the delegates elected
at this convention to represent this
state at the national convention to be
held at Denver, Col, july 7, 1908, be
and they are hereby instructed tc
vote for Hon. William Jennings
Bryan as the Democratic nominee TO,
