sary heretofore. The car leaves the ferry
once an hour at % minutes past the even

are knocking down almost half of the
fares they take in, officers of the Trenton

tectives on the cars to watch the crews, and
all offenders will be arrested and held for
criminal prosecution. One conductor, the
first victim Of the crusade, is held in $500
bail on the charge Of taking eleyen fares on

we're the "colis, as they call the young
republican senators supported by four
democratic senators-Messrs. Owen OF
Oklshoms, Taylor of Tennessee and
Paynter aud MeOresry Of Kentucky.
More important than the defeat Of the
proposition to build four bstlleships this
year, for that defeat has been fOreseeD,
was the authoritative statement that
hearafler this country will have a naval
"progrsmmf.n Hereafter this county
will build two bsttleships each year. At
the close Of the general debate Senator
Allison stated that be favored building
two batlleships this year sud two more
hearafter each year, and this statement
was Endorsed aud repeated by Senators
Hale and Aldrich, 80 that the constTuc-
ton of two new bsttlesbiTs each year
will be the future naval policy Of this
government.
While hot and angry discussion was
10 progress Mr.. Lstts, one of the clerks
fl, m the White House, appeared at the
door with q message from the president.
Ordinarily all business is interrupted to
receive message from the president.

welt msking one last desperate appeal to
the Senate to grant him four battleships,
and that he had chosen the eve OF the
vote as the psychological moment for its
del very, or whs, may hsve been the
reason, at sll events, the messenger from
the White House WAS not received. He
visited momeot or Two and then with
fine discretion Withdrew to one oil the
cl0skroous. IL developed subsequently |
that the message had 10 reference at sll
to the bstllship dispute, but was
40 earnest cal TO lhe O0ngrss not to sd- !
Journ without enacting some legislation |
which Mr.. Roosevelt deems absolutely |
essential.
