THE BIC STICK
OVER CONGRESS
The Public Buildings Bill May
Meet With the Presi-
dents Veto.
ROOSEVELT IS AROUSED
Intends to Use Vigorous Measures to
Secure Enactment Of Legislation
He Has Recommended.
Holds Trump Gard.

Washington, April 30.-President
Roosevelt proposes to fight as vigor-
ously to obtain the adoption by con-
gress of certain features of his legis-
lative program as set forth in his
message as he did to obtain the au-
thorization of additional Dattleships
for the navy, according to the Post
He is holding up his sleeve as a
trump card his power to approve or
veto the public building bill. There
is not member in congress who has
not keen interest in this measure.
1t will aid them tremendously at
home.
The president does not regard the
public buildings bill nearly as i'm
portant as the various recommends
tions he has presented for legislative
action. Besides threatening a veto of
the public buildings bill, the presi-
dent is in position to use his influ-
ence for or against the reelection Of
a member of congress.

object is to perfect a system of mo-
bile defense for the Atlantic sea-
board
There will be between forty and
fifty fighting craft in command of
Commander Marsh. Practically all
of the thirtythree torpedo boats
available will be included with six
or seven submarines and two des-
troyers. Three submarines of the vi
per class will be available, besides
two of the Adder class, without
counting the Octopus and the old
Holland.
The feature of the mobilization
will be the demonstration of the
value of the submarine for coast de-
fense purposes The navy depart
ment contemplates materially in
creasing the utility of the submarine
by providing each flotilla with what
isNternfed ssmothersship." The gun
boat Castine, of LILY tons. will be
used as mother ship" The great
advantage of the mother ship" will
be the movable base which it will
provide the submarines, thereby in
creasing their radius of action in a
very large degree.
Aside from the practical demon
Stration of this new idea the sub
marines will go through experiments
in diving, in avoiding seagoing craft
and in approaching and fleeing from
the enemy.
The mobilization of the destroy
ers and the torpedo boats will be as
complete as that of the submarines
and will take place at the same
time.

RIVAL TOWNS TO GREET FLEET
Santa Cruz and Monterey Next Stop
ping Place Of the Battleships.

San Francisco, April 30.-Oficers
and men of the Pacific fleet entered
today upon the glorious windup OF
their entertainment by the people of
Santa Barbara and tomorrow will
find the mighty battleships again
headed northward with the ports of
Santa Cruz and Monterey as their
objective points. These are rival
towns, and, as the ships of the fleet
will be divided between them, each
will seek to outdo the other In the
laYishness of its celebration. 1t was
originally planned to have the en-
tire fleet rendezvous at Santa Cruz,
but the people of Monterey sent up
such a cry and clamor that the navy
department succumbed and ordered
a division of the fleet. This did not
please the citizens of Santa Cruz,
who desired to have the whole show
to themselves, but Monterey is jubi-
liant and its business men are intent
upon showing the rival city just how
battleship fleet should be enter
tanned.
To a misinterpretation of some
orders sent out from the navy de-
partment to Rear Admiral Evans
seems to be due the controversy be-
tween Santa Cruz and Monterey
On account of this misunderstanding
it was originally decided that Santa
Cruz should have the whole fleet,
leaving Monterey in the cold. There
upon Monterey citizens got busy
They set forth that their town was
entitled to as much consideration as
Santa Cruz; that it was the first cap
ital of the state and had many his
torical attractions for the men of
the fleet; that with its own popula-
ton and that Immediately adjacent
more residents would find it conven-
lent to go to Monterey than TO Santa
Cruz, and that in any event Santa
Cruz had not the necessary facilities
| to entertain all the fleet, either in
| Its harbor or in its hotels.
Messages flew back and forth be-
! tween Washington and the rival
towns. Monterey put up strong
| fight and gained its point. Hence
each town will receive half the ships
for the full period of the scheduled
stay

The Sailors Are Dissatisfied at Lack
OF Entertainment at Santa Barba
ra-Clairned 0vercharges
Are Practiced.

Santa Barbara, Cal. April go
An outbreak occurred In the street
Tuesday night in which several hun
dred sailors threw stones and clubs
and partially wrecked a small res
taurant at 121 State street, owned
by John Senich. 1t was a elimination
of numerous small difficulties, which
have occurred during the week the
fleet has been here between sailors
and local tradesmen, The bad feeling
has been due principally to an alleg-
ed system of overcharge in payments
of meals and other purchases with
which the sailors have been con-
fronted
Tuesday night the sailors claim
Senich attempted to charge two of
the men Sc piece for a meal, which
they deemed eXorbitant. They de-
INJURED to the payment, hut the
shore patrol compelled a settlement
of the bill because the men had not
inquired the price before ordering.
Later they reported the incident to
shore liberty parties, and finally
large crowds congregated in front
OF the place and commenced to
throw stones and other missiles
Windows and glass fixtures were
smashed, while the proprietor and
employees fled. The shore patro
rushed to the scene and soon disper.
sed the crowd.
The sailors have been dissatisfied
with the lack of entertainment here
More than 5000 of them have come
ashore each day, but after spending
a few hours in the town have either
taken the train to Los Angeles or
returned to their ships. Alleged ov-
er charging has been numerous. and
considerable ill-feeling has been en-
gendered.

AS a musician Alfred c. Mackin
of this city has his name on a num-
Der of excellent compositions, both
instrumental and vocal. One of his
songs which has made a decided hit
is entitled, Somebody Evidently
Lied. Many specially people are
singing this song in the theatres of
the country. SO popular has this
composition become that a northern
publisher has infringed on r.Mack-
ms rights and is publishing the
song under the name of Somebody
Lied" without so much as changing
a single word. This song will be
quite appropriate for some one to
sing after the primary election next
Saturday.
