A NOTE OF WARNING
 AGAINST MONEY WASTE
Senator Hale Vigorously Attacks Proposed
 Military Expansion
He Describes the Philippines Pestilence-- His Remarks Are Interpreted a Criticism of Secre- tary Taft.

Washington. April "A warning against the increasing expenditures of the military establishments of the United States was sounded in the sen ate today by Mir. Hale. chairman of the committee on naval affairs and the alarm was taken up and repeated by other senators. The discussion was based on signed article printed in the Washington Post today. saying in ef- feet that Secretary Taft favored d re- organization and enlargement of the army that will bring it up to 125,O00 men.
 The immediate occasion of Mir. Hale's speech was the passage yester- day of the army appropriation bills and he used it to show the tendency of times. Moving to reconsider the vote Mir. Hale said that senators did not realize that seventy per cent of the revenues of the government today were expended for what has been termed the needs of present, past and future years.
 What is going on" continued MT. Hale, without senators or the country being aware of it? We cannot pass an omnibus appropriation bill in which there are thousands of items that ought to be paid as much as a note at hand. We arc to have no river and harbOr bill because it is a peace bill; We can have no public building bill because the military expenses are mounting so rapidly that we cannot afford these items that are for peace"
 MT. Hale recapitulated the apprO- Fzr- that every item represented great aims for the future. There has been he said. an increase of $2O,OOO,O 900 in the appropriations for the army and about the same increase for the navy. This. he said. did not represent the enormous increase for the navy as onIy two in- stead of four battleships had been pro- vided for.
 When you build up navy" he de- clared, you only begin to spend mon ey. You commit the country to repairs and maintenance, making necessary an increasing appropriation. IT you go on as we have been going you will have a naval appropriation in three or four years that will amount to $150.- 000.000 annually"
 Senator Gallinger called attention to an article published in a Washington paper relative to the ambitious pro- gram for the enlargement of the army MT. Gallinger said that the article seemed to be inspired. Mir Warren promptly interrupted MT. GalIinger. He did not believe the published plan referred to was inspired, and said that so far as he was concerned he would be very slow to commit himself
 MT. Aldrich suggested that it was important in the senate as elsewhere. Among the people who will decide the question ultimately that there should be statement that no such an army is contemplated
 This is the first have heard of the secretary of war having any such idea about increasing the army" said Mir. Warren. This is matter under cOn- sideration by the department and it has arrived at a point where it has been heard of by newspaper writer"
 ''I hope" said MT. Hale, resumirfe. that this enormous, unreasonabl ble. wicked program is not the judgment of

WHAT DOCTOR ORDERS
 FIGHTING BOB" WILL DO
He Discusses the Probability of His Return 70 .he Fleet

PasO Robles Hot Springs. April r. T am still hoping to rejoin the fleet at San Diego" said Admiral Evans to an Associated Press representative this afternoon, but I am in the hands of my doctor. Whatever his orders, shall submit to his judgment and obey him regardless of my own inclination It will be a keen disappointment to me if he does not allow me to go south but he knows what is best for me and I shall not disobey him.
 If he considers it inadvisable for me to go to San Diego, Los Angeles and Santa Barbara, am sure the peo- pie of southern California will under stand that only doctors orders pre- vented me from coming. I can assure then that they will not be more dissp- pointed than I will be-
 But" added Evans. with look of determination. T am still hoping to go there"
 The admiral had just returned in a wheel chair from the railroad station which is some distance from the springs. where his son. Lieut. Evans, who commands the turret guns of the Louisiana had taken him A marked improvement in his condition was ap- parent in his voice. manner and ap- pearance. He seemed in excellent spirits. and chatted freely
 Having received a telegram from John H. Roberts. assistant adjutant general of the California G. A. R. con- taining greetings and good wishes for the speedy recovery of his health, to Our naval hero and our comrade, '' and announcing that a delegation en route to the Grand Army encampment at santa Ana would pass through Paso Robles at 4:40. Admiral Evans had himself wheeled to the depot by his son 10 greet the old Veterans of the civil war. The train was late and after waiting some time it was found necessary to take him back to the ho- tel. He was much disappointed but left message for General Roberts eX- pressing his regrets.
 Touching upon the hour fixed for the fleets arrival at San Francisco. which it is said has caused some dis satisfaction. Admiral Evans said. T fixed the time for the arrival at 2 o'clock in order to take advantage of the floodtide. I shall arrive outside with the fleet on the night of May 3, and anchor for the night"
 The admiral today for the first time since his arrival was wheeled about town. Going down Main street to make purchases he was soon sur rounded by d crowd. He shook hands with number of persons.
 Lieutenant Evans leaves tomorrow morning for Los Angeles to meet his mother and sister and accompany them to the springs.
 Should the admiral not be able to go south it is quite probable that Mrs Evans and her daughter. Mrs. C. C. Marsh. wife of Commander Marsh will attend the festivities at the south- ern ports.

or the secretary of war" Hale declar- ed that anyone who talks with the gen eral staff of the army within a few days will be told that the army has got to be doubled. If this program is carried out" resumed MT. Hale, we will have an army costing s20O. .OOO 900 and nothing short of that will satisfy the army. I hope however that the secretary of war shall not be called upon to make this enormous expendi- ture." NIT. Hale spoke of the Philip pines as a pestilence which contributed to the policy of military expansion. He said the general staff would not abau- don any "rickety post" because of the proposed military expansion. The navy he said now would continue to be use less.
 Mir. Clapp of Minnesota said he thought it was time to go further and he favored the stopping of the enlarge ment of the military establishment at once. He hoped the motion to recon slider would be pressed. Replying to Mir. Beyeridge, MT. Hale said the reason given for the enlargement of the army and navy was that the country might have big war" MT. Aldrich express ed a hope that the utterances of the senator from Maine would have the careful attention of the members of the majority who he said are responsible for legislation. We have he said. expenditures this year of $3S.O00, 900 in excess of our receipts Last year We had receipts in excess of our ex- penditures by s52,000,000. the difference is $90,000,0O0. We are certain to have a large deficit in the revenues"
 He added that there are pending be- fore the senate special bills involving more than slOO.OOO.0 900. Referring to Mir. Bacon, he said he was sorry to see ''the economist in observation" ad- vocating a bill to pay s10,0e0.000 for certain cotton claims. There are other bills taking money out of the treasury that. he said. would insure an increased deficiency. MT. Beveridge having said that an army of 65,00O would be use less against a single army corps, Mir Hale inquired where does the senator thing the imaginary army corps is to come from? He added that a conflict of the country with another, requiring large army was practically impossi- ble. He characterized war talk as sheer nonsense.''
 MT. Warren defended the army and said that too much time was taken up in looking after river and harbor work. He added there was no country in the world with so small an army as the

DELAWARE DECLINES
 10 INSTRUCT FOR TAFI
The So-Caled Administration Element Was Overwhelmingly Defeated.

Dover. April 7-The republican state convention met here today and elected a full delegation to the na- tional convention at Chicago. The del egates were not instructed. The only show of contest was over a resOlu- ton directing the national delegates to support Secretary Taft It was defeated overwhelmingly by a viva vOce vote. The convention was con trolled by the state organization. headed by Senators Dupont and Rich ardson. The sO-called administration faction which was defeated at the pri- maries last Saturday had only a com paratively small number of delegates in the convention. They favored in structions for Taft. The coavention's work was practically performed by county caucuses. The state conven- ton simply ratified the action taken by the caucus.
 The platform adopted endorses the administration of President Roosevelt and the state administration and also comments the presidents recent course in the enforcement of his pol icies It also favors a revision of the tariff.

There were nearly 300 guests present
 MT. Taft tonight was shown a re- port of the senate proceedings wherein MT. Hale discussed the increased ap- propriations for the army. and read it with keen interest.
 ''I certainly have no knowledge who wrote the article in the Washington paper" said the secretary. nor of its contents. It was not inspired by any person officially connected with the war department. As for the remarks of Hale, I have nothing to say at this time"
 Asked if he would later have some thing to say regarding Che increased military establishment, he said he would not. He also refrained from speaking of the matter during his speech tonight

 Stinson asked the court to dismiss the rebating indictments against the Northern Steamship company.

BID FOR BATTlESHIPS
England May>Not Need Them, But Will Keep Germany From Ac-
 curing Them

London, April 7.-Interest has been aroused in naval circles by the report that the British admiralty is consider ing the purchase of two big battleships now being built in this country for Brazil. It is pointed out that Brazil has no need of two such powerful ships which in addition to the original great cost, will be expensive to main tain.
 It is certain that Great Britain will buy these vessels should this be the only way of preventing their falling into the hands of another European power
