-Four Ship Plan Killed,

Washington, April 2s-By the over
whelming vote of so to 23 the senate
turned down President Roosevelt's pro-
gram for four battleships, for which
he has been fighting since the begin
ming of the session.
The two houses have now agreed
upon the two battleships plan, so that
the number cannot possibly be raised
by conference, and it must stand as
agreed to by the senate and house, un-
less the president, should choose to
veto the whole naval bill, which, of
course, he is not likely to do.
The vote in the senate for four bat
tleships was even smaller than was
anticipated. 1t was composed almost
exclusively of the clique of younger
senators who have recently revolted
from the dictation of the older heads.
The vote was taken late in the after
noon at the conclusion of a bitter and
acrimonious debate.
