vote of 1919 to SO the house decided
against the presidents program for
four battleships and adhered to the
recommendation Of it's committee on
naval affairs for two vessels of that
type. This result was received with
applause.
The vote came after a hard fought
effort to increase the number to four.
The increase was opposed by Mr.
TaWney, chairman of the committee
on appropriations, Mr.. Foss, chairman
Of the committee On naval affairs, Mr..
Willetts, a minority leader and others
and was advocated by Mr.. Hobson of
Alabama, who declared that in rela-
ton to the increase of other nations,
four battleships would only keep the
American navy abreast of other
great navies.
In the course of the debate Repre-
sentative Hobson said the president
! had told him, as an explanation of
his statement that he would veto any
public building bill that might be
sent him unless he secured more bat
| tleships, that he had heard of a
threat by the house that unless the
naval program was cut to two ships
| the house would refuse to pass any
public building bills.
MIR. Longworth Of Ohio, said that
the president was more interested in
this increase than any other question
before congress and as practically all
of them had in the last election de.
clared that they supp, rted him, this
was a good opportunity to live up to
that declaration.

Washington, April 20.-Thes house
committee on banking and currency
voted to lay on the table the financial
bill offered by Representative Vree

members, il members of the senate
II members of the house and q
others who must be citizens of the
United States.
With the exception Of Messrs
Cooper and Nelson of Wisconsin, re
publicans, the house by a strict
party vote, declared that the action
of Speaker Cannon last Saturday il
'summarily adjoining the house was
not a breach of the privilege Of the
house affecting the safety, dignity
and integrity of it's proceedings" The
declaration was made when a reso
luton by Mr.. Williams, holding such

was tabled, 146 to 119.
The republicans put through an
amendment to the rules making any

ing majority for a tWo-thirds vote
to pass any measure.
To Investigate Paper Prices.
A definite step was taken toward
the solution of the wood pulp and
newspaper cost question in the intro
duction by Speaker Cannon of a reso
luton for the appointment of a Sc
lect committee of six members to in
Vestigate "and obtain all possible in
formation" as to the reasons for in,
creased prices of white paper ito the
end that needful legislation may be
enacted"
After consideration of less than
two hours the senate committee on
naval affairs reported the naval ap-
preparation bill to the senate. 1t
carries Sill, 546,549, an increase OF
$7,599,O31 over the bill passed by the

washington, ID. u, ApfII Ill lie
reported purpose of the president to
send the fleet of battleships around
the world was the basis of discus
sion in the senate today. Mr.. Hale
state the cost, but he was satisfied
that the wear and tear on the fleet
would be great. The cost, he said,
would not be known for a year. He
referred to the cruise as "a spectacu-
lar performance"
Mr.. Bacon said he agreed that it
was a spectacular performance, but, ="
he added, cit MAJ be a dangerous
pc Torrance. He said it would cost
almost $1,O00,O00 to take-~the fleet
through the Suez canal alone. AL
though the republican steering com
mittee of the senate at its meeting
today concluded that two battleships
would be the limit of authorization
at this session of congress, there will
be a lively fight on the floor by ad-
herents of the presidents program
for four armorclads.
Although several hours were con-
sumed in roll calls, the day in the
house was one of comparative activ-
ity and several measures OF impOr-
lance were put through. The princi-
pal of these was the resolution Of
speaker Cannon providing for an in
vestigation of the paper trust and in
pursuance of is provisions the
speaker announced as the committee
to conduct the investigation Messrs.
Mann of Illinois, Miller of Kansas,
Stafford OF Wisconsin, Bannon of
Ohio, Sims of Tennessee and Ryan OF
New York The democrats as a unit
voted against the resolution after
declaration by Mr.. Williams that he
did not believe a sincere effort would
be made to arrive at the truth.

and in the edge of Irasburg all his
life, except while he was in the army
He was loyal soldier of the civil war,
brave and fearless. He was corporal

Hancock was twice married. His first

converted. He went to meetings, as
he often said, out of curiosity, but
when the pastor pointed toward him
and said, young man, how are you
living before your children?" he said
the arrow went to his heart. linn e.
diately he entered upon life of activity
in the church. A faithful disciple, he
was usually found in prayer and class
meetings while health permitted.

ought to take an interest in the
latest and most scientific meth

end the scholarship will be off

Since the establishment of

fact that the State University

on foot here and has given his
endorsement to it. 1t is believed
that the necessary guarantee can
be pledged in a short time, after
which trustees will be selected
for the fund. 1t will then be
necessary to determine the man
ner in which the scholarship
shall be awarded. In all proba-

will be held in which all young

"MELANDER" SCHOLAR
SHIP.

A Wentachee valley newspaper
says:
Another Big RedApple schol-
arship is being advocated for
Wenatchee. This time local al
umni of the Washington State
College at Pullman are back of
the movement and they declare
that the valley should do some
thing to encourage attendance at
the agricultural school as we'll as
at the university in Seattle.
1t is proposed to pledge the
sum of 5000 or $3.50 yearly for
three years. which would pay the
expenses of a student at Pullman
and enable him to attend the
horticultural and other correlat-
We courses. The matter has been
agitated among the growers of
the valley and a number of them
have agreed to contribute toward
the fund, so it is almost certain
that the money will be available
next fall.
IF it is established the new
scholarship will in all probability
be named in honor of Prof. AL.
Melander, professor of horticult-
ure at Pullman. This will be in
. recognition of his work in the
Wenatchee valley. Some years
ago Professor Melander discov-
cred a remedy for scale. He took
local orchards that were 60 per
cent. infected and eradicated the
disease entirely. So helpful was
his work to Wenatchee fruit
growers that the naming of a
scholarship for him would be a
graceful tribute of gratitude.
AT the present time the We
natchee valley is represented by
twenty five students at the State
College. Alumni of the school
believe that something should be
done to encourage more young
men and women from this dis
