THE HOUSES AWKWARD RULE

Washington. April 27.-The keyed up rules to meet the democratic fili- buster. reacted and shut out the mes sage President Roosevelt had prepared and planned to have read in that body today It was found impossible to un- tangle the snarl of motions to get the house of the committee of the whole and back into the same committee and finally cover the point of no quorum, long enough to have the president $ message received. much less read. The presidents secretary, Latta. who wait ed for an hour in the corridor. turned away with the message under his arm, and made his way to the senate.
 It was with a eye to political capital that the house proceeded throughout the day The little that was accomp- lished was made a vehicle for political discussion.
 resolution was passed authoriZ- ing the news print paper investigation but not until the expediency of that investigation had been discussed. MT. Williams. the minority leader, charac- terized it as a method of delay, while the republican speakers maintained that it was being made in good faith and that the report would be made at the present session should the demo- cratic filibuster permit the members of that committee to do this work.
 The sundry civil appropriation bill was taken up and three of the eight hours decided on for general debate were used. Tomorrow the sundry civ il bill will again be considered.

Washington, April 27.-By an over whelmning vote President Roosevelts four battleship program failed in the senate just as it did in the house. The amendment Tor Tour battleships was introduced by Senator Piles. and the fight for it's adoption was led by Sen ator Beveridge. Twenty votes were cast for the increased program. the number largely being made up of recently elected senators. Fifty sen ators voted to support the houses rec ommendation. The senate naval com mittee favor only two battleships.
 The debate on the battleship amend ment lasted three days to the eXclu- sion of all other matters l was be- gun by Senator Beveridge with an elo- quent appeal for the support of the president. and the suggestion that a larger navy might be needed for war
 IL was developed by MT. Allison dur ing the debate that there is a well de- fined understanding among the sen ate leaders for the authorization of two battleships each year until the Ameri- can navy is regarded sufficient to meet any demands that may be made upon it.
 As finally passed the bill carries ap- propriations of S123,115,659, provides for the construction of two battleships and two colliers. the purchase of three additional colliers. the construction of submarines and other necessary craft, increase the pay of officers and en- listed men. as well as increasing both the pay and strength of the marine corps.

.THt THIRD FORD TRIAL
 Is ALMOST CONCLUDED
There Is Possibility That It Will Go to the Jury Today.

San Francisco. April 27.-The third Ford trial came nearly to an end this afternoon when two former walters of the Cosmos club were called and tes- tified that they observed the defend ant lunchins in the club after the fire in the company Of Ruef. Several wit nesses who were employed in the United Railroads offices. including Fords stenoGrapher. Mss McDermott, and Chief Clerk George Francis. gave testimony without bringing -sut-ssas, new features when Judge Lawlor an- nCunced an adjournment.
 Assistant District Attorney O'Gara refused to say whether he will pre- sent any of the new evidence men tioned in his opening address, tomor- row morning. Unless he does so, the prosecutions case can be closed. It is now as complete as on the former trials On those occasions the defense did not introduce any evidence.

HE RAILROAD LIST REACHED HIGHER LEVELS
An Anticipation of the Success of the Pennsylvania Issue.

New York, April 27.-The action of the stock market today was confirma- tory of large professional operations last week based on the prospective success of the Pennsylvania bond sub scriptions. Efforts to extend the rise in prices occurred in Union Pacific. The inferences are that the principal benefit to accrue from the Pennsyl- vanias success will be made to apply to Union Pacific
 Steel was cOnspicuously heavy. It was hurt by reports of a break in the ranks of sellers of iron who have been striving to sustain prices The price of copper was also reduced both here and in London. Union Pacific. St. Paul. Atchison and Pennsylvania were carried to new high levels for this year. but the movement in the general list was less effective. Bonds were irregular.

It is Now Stated That $50 Will Cover Loss of Life.

New Orleans. April 27.-With 325 cast over nearly the entire width of Louisiana. Mississippi and Alabama. the dead of Fridays tornado have been mostly cared for tonight. and it is possible today to state with accuracy that the death list of the three states will not exceed $50. There are d few who may yet be added to the fatali- ties. possibly d score of the 200 most seriously injured in the hospitals throughout these states. The remain ing injured. numbering about 1000, are reported on the road to recovery.
 The gravity of tOday's situation was centered in the problems of living. namely. food and shelter Fortunately the great territory over which the stricken districts are scattered, left opportunity for unharmed neighbors iuterspersed everywhere throughout the centers of want to furnish relief more quickly and effectively than would have been possible had the force of the storms been confined to one continuous strip of the country.
 Three deaths today at the Natchez Charity hospital make d total of 110 deaths for the territory embraced in the path from Block river La through COncordia parish. La. and the counties of Adams and Jefferson in Mississippi. Related reports from the territory along the wilder logging roads running west from Epps station, Miss, indicate that the loss of life in that section is much greater than was at first report ed. At a turpentine camp between Epps and Purvis. near the road. twelve were found dead and fifteen injured

Washington. April 27.-President Roosevelt today transmitted to con- gress a special message reiterating his previous recommendation for legisla- tion regarding the use of the iniunc- tiOn in contempt cases and an exten- sion of the power of the interstate commerce commission. The message follows:
 To the Senate and House of Represen-
 tatiVes:
 In my message to the congress of March p, 1908. outlined certain measures which I believed the major ity of our countryInen desire to have enacted into law at this time. These measures do not represent by any means all that I would like to see done if I thought it possible. but they do represent what I believe can now be done if an earnest effort toward this end is made.
 Since I wrote this message, an em- ployers' liability law has been enacted which. it is true. comes short of what ought to have been done but which does not represent a real advance Apparently there is good ground to
  latiOn providing for recompensing all employees who suffer injury while en- gagged in the public service; that there will be child labor law enacted for the District of Columbia: that the waterways commission will be contin- ued with sufficient financial support to increase the effectiveness of its preparatory work; that steps will be taken to provide for such investiga- tiOns into the tariff conditions by the appropriate committee of the house of representatives and government ex- perts in the service as will secure the full information necessary for intelli- gently revising the tariff at the hands of the congress elected next fall, and finally that financial legislation will be enacted providing for the temporary measures for meeting any trouble that may arise in the next year or two,

bills are now further along than usua at this time in the long session.
 THE PRESIDENT PLEASED.


 Washington, April 27.-Two battle ships year is what President Roose- welt says he accomplished through his fight for a naval program. Had he been victorious in having four ships authorized at this session, the United States could have dictated terms of disarmament to the nations of the world.
 This statement made tonight follow ing the passage by the senate today of the naval bill calling for two new bat tleships is understood to reveal the presidents source of strength in the naval fight which has been waged so strenuously. Furthermore two ships this year with the promise of two ships each year to follow, which the presi- dent accepted as d bona fide stipula- tion on the part of the senate means simply a program which will place the United States in the front rank of ma val progression but which fails to place it in position of dictating a cessation of naval aggression. That the president. on the whole is pleased with the result of the efforts of conz gress on the subject was made mani fest tonight; that he firmly believes in the ability of the United States Iu die tate the naval policy of the world in the future, through a demonstration of its ability overwhelmingly to outstrip it in naval construction is equally manifest.
 President Roosevelt wanted four battleships this year; he got two. With two he obtained the promise of two more to be forthcoming each year. This means. considering the dimensions ot battleships which modern construction dictates that, the United States shall keep fully abreast of the naval arm ament of any other nation.
 The friends of the president are flushed tonight with what they regard as a signal victory for his international policy The details of the victory freely given are declared to reflect the ex- ubrance of the president

The Presidents Message Crowded Out

Wilmington, April 27-conditions in both the senate and house were such that the special message of the president. further outlining his views as to legislation. which was sent to congress today, received but soant at tention The message arrived late in the day and the house was so tied up under the new rules that it could not officially receive the message while the senate was in the midst of the consideration of the naval apprOpria- ton bill under the ten minute rule when the document reached that body.
 Unlike the house, the senate permit ted a formal presentation of the mes age but it could not at that time be laid before the senate. By the time the naval bill had been disposed of the hour was so late and the attendance so small that no attempt was made to read tie document.
