Not Thought That Measure
Making That Section OF City
Dry Will Be Considered
Seriously Soon.
TEMPERANCE WORKERS
INTERESTED I'M FIGHT.
Petitioners for Dry" Terri
tory Have Been Assisted by
Others While "Wets" Are
Fighting StrenuousIy.

1t is probable that AZ the regular
council meeting Monday night the or
dinance committee will report 10
council the ordinance which provides
that the north half OF the third ward
shall be residence portion of the
city. II is doubtful however, if c0un-
Gil considers the ordinance carefully
at this meeting. 1t is thought that it
will only be given it's first reading
Monday night 1t is the general opin-
ion that no definite action will be
taken until the slst council meeting
in May, at which time the ordinance
is scheduled TO come up for its third
reading No action on the matter un-
der suspension of the rules is looked
for.
The petitioners for the passage OF
this ordinance have been assisted in
their campaign to drive out of the
north half Of the third ward the only
two saloons now operating in the city
north of the Pennsylvania tracks. by
temperance workers in all parts of the
city.
The two threatened salOOnists,
Henry Schell, and Henry Lennard,
have MOI been allowing the grass to
grow under them Wnilc the dry" cle-
ment has been conducting this cam
paisn. Assisted by liquor people all
over the city they have gathered und-
Cr the wet banner. host which
greatly outnumbers those who have
petitioncd to make the north section
of the third ward dry. 1t is under
stood that every Influence will be
brought to bear on council members
to defeat the ordinance.

CONGRESS CR|NS
At PRESIDENT
With Pure Delight 1t Refused
To Heed His Request for
Four BattIeships.
TAWNEY HUNTS DANGER.
SAYS TREASURY DEPARTMENT is
PLACED IN PRECARIOUS CONDI.
TIoN BY IMMENSE INCREASE IN
APPROPRIATIONS.

Washington, d. c.. April 16.-By an
overwhelming majority the House of
Representatives yesterday afternoon
rejected the Presidents recommends
ton, made on several occasions dur
ing the session for an appropriation
for four battle ships Its action was
inevitably fOreshadowed by the un-
friendly reception accorded the special
message he transmitted to Congress.
and the House seemed to take keen
delight in sustaining the Committee
on Naval Affairs, which had recon-
mended the construction of but two
battle ships.
When this provision of the bill was
reached the hero of the Merrimac.
Richard Pearson Hobson, of Alabama,
who was the custodian of the Presi-
dents interests, offered his amend
ment doubling the number of this tyne
or nghtlng vessels. On a rising vote
the Chair counted % in favor of the
amendment and 100 opposed to it. and
cheers greeted his announcement of
the vote
Hobson then demanded that the
vote be taken by tellers. and the ma
Jority was even greater for only So
sustained him. while 1919 stood out
against the Presidents program. An
other demonstration followed the sec
Ond count.
Numerically more Republicans than
Democrats voted against the Presi-
dent, although the percentage on
each side was about the same. Every
one of the Republican leaders and
John Sharp Williams, the minority
leader, and his chief lieutenants.
Joined in the merry and iubilant
throng which repudiated Hobson S
amendment.
Chairman Tawney. of the Commit
tee on Appropriations. pointed out the
danger in which the Treasury is being
placed by the immense increase in
appropriations authorized in the sev-
eral supply measures. Mr.. Tawrry's S
remarks were made particularly ap-
plicable to the demand for four bat
tleshipS instead of two. He compared
the appropriations in various cOun-
tries in preparation for war and on
account of wars. and said the startling
fact was developed that the United
States was spending more money than
any other nation in the world.
Pleads for Economy.
Maintaining that navieS are built
for national defense, Mr.. Tawney said
that they were not intended and could
not be justified upon the ground that
they are necessary to satisfy an am
bitiOn, either individual or national,
TO compete with other nations in time
of peace in size and number of fight
ing machines. He argued that in the
United States the prestige and power
of the nation did not depend upon the
size of the army and navy, but upon
the resources. the patriotism and the
loyalty of the people. who at all times
are known to be ready and willing to
sacrifice their property and even their
lives in the defense of their Govern
ment and its beneficient institutions. ="

When Seventy-five Dusky
Skinned Men Made Their
Appearance on Sewer Job,
Americans Left Trenches
MADE NO EFFORT TO
CAUSE ANY TROUBLE,
Left Work Peacefully. But II
Was Said Other Americans
Would Quit When Saturday
Came.

Today Contractor Hipskind placed
scventy-five Macedonian laborers AT
@Ork on the Northwest Second stree,
scwer system. When the foreigners
arrived there were about thirty Ameri-
can laborers, all natives of this CITY,
working in the bitches. but as soon as
they saw the swarthy Macedonians.
about half of the Americans crawIed
cut of the water-filled bitches and
threw up their jobs" No self-re-
spccting Yankee. they said. would work
s.dc by side with a Macedonian or any
ether kind of 'Dago"
The local men who threw down their
spades and picks this morning. state
hat the American laborers who re-
t2ined ''on the job" will quit work
Saturday. They state that these men
only remain at work so that they can
traw a full weeks pay.
Loafed on Jobs.
Some of the job bosses state that the
men who quit work this morning were
those who have been 'Ioafing' on their
work and that the contractors are glad
/ to be relieved of their services. The
lien who refused to work with the for
e'gners. state that they had three ex-
oellent reasons for refusing to continue
at work: first. because they were work
ed like galley slaves: second, because
| the average daily rate of 81. 30 per day
was too small wages for the class of
work required and the third reason
was because they considered that they
would lower themselves by working
with syndicate controlled foreign la
bOrers.
No Trouble Caused.
No effort to cause any trouble has
been made by the American workmen
who quit work this morning. and il is
almost certain that these men will not
attempt TO molest the Macedonians
who have surplanted them. What at.
t'tude the residents in the section OF
town where the sewer is being built.
will take in regards to the presence Of
the much despised foreign laborers re-
mains TO be seen.
About two years ago the police had
trouble in protecting some Italian
workmen who were quartered in the
section of town where the sewer is be-
! ing built These Italians were brought
10 the city by the Richmond Manufae-
turing company. Fairview people
| finally arose in their wrath and stoned
the foreigners from the neighborhood.
The Italiane were finally deported.

LAWMAKERS NOW
HAVE BACKS UP
Members of Congress Contin-
ue Their DiIatory, Do
Nothing Actions.
FACE THE PRE- SIDENT
WILL NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUM-
STANCES THEY SAY PASS
MEASURES WHICH THE COUN-
TRY NOW NEEDS VERY MUCH.

Washington, d. c.. April 16.-So Ia
as the present session is concerned tie
president has had his last hard tussl.
with congress. The big stick has
teen laid away. and an analysis of the
work already done by the lawmakers
and of the legislative program for the
remainder of the session shows that i
has not proved to be a very effective
weapon in forcing the presidents will
upon the coordinate branch of the gov
erEment.
1t was brandished perhaps for the
ltst time this spring, when d special
message was transmitted urging tht I
provision be made for the construction
of four new first class battle ships. but
as pointed out elsewhere. the represen
tatives of the "peepul" exhibited no
t1epidity and did as they had detc'-
1lined when they resolved to appropri
ate for only two such vessels.
Now the leaders of congress have
drawn their blue pencils through 9th
er recommendations made by the pres
!dent, and sent their list to the white
Louise. Representative Jim" Wat.
son. who expects to be the next COVER
nor of Indiana. served as their envoy,
making two trips.
The big guns" on Capitol Hill had
been cOunseling with one another. and
Watson went to the executive offices
with what virtually was an ultimatum.
There were certain things which they
were willing to put through this ses-
sion, and Watson enumerated them
there were others which would have II
wait until next winter or longer, and
these also were specified. Like the
cat driven into a corner by bull-tor-
rier, they had their backs up. and the
lnoiana man conveyed their sentiments
With fidelity and accuracy.
a recapituIation shows that when tHo
session ends Congress will have failed
10 enact many of the most important
recommendations of the president.
To Put on High Speed.
Henceforth the leaders of congress
will put on high speed and hustle
through the appreciation bills and do
the best they can with the latter list uf
measures. They had figured on ad-
iourning on May .. but in Difference to
the presidents wishes will hold CON
gress here till his conference with the
governors of States who have been
summoned to attend the national re-
sources convention.
The president suggested this 10 Rep
rccentative Watson and the disposition
of the men in control of legislation IS
20 make that concession TO him.

Jose Justly Pleases.

Those who braved the snow storm Of
Tuesday evening and took in the show at
the Grand opera house were fully repaid
by the nights enjoyment furnished by
Richard J. Jose and his company. The
play put on was farce comedy entitled
Don't Tell My Wife," and it was a
"sereamer" most eapably handled. But Of
course the main attraction was Jose him
self-and he certainly made everyone
sit up and take notice" when he came
on. As he is a man Of huge bulk. weigh
ing probably 500 pounds.the slang phrase
just quoted is physically appropriate. but
it is also most apt in musical sense. as
Jose's contra-tenor is especially sweet
and pleasing. Though he sang only such
old time ballads as when You and |
We're Young. Maggie" "Dolhe Gray"
etc. the audience was highly pleased and
did not fail to enjoy and encore: indeed IL
he had granted tho recalls with which he
was Heartily favored. the rest OF the
company would hare had whole nights
rest.

The Oh Grand Army Boys.

You may talk about the Nasons
And the Odd Fellows and such.
You may call them so fraternal
As to fairly beat the Dutch:
You may praise them IL you choose to.
With their mystic rites and aoise.
But they cannot hold . candle
To the old Grand Army boys.
For = man that has the money
Can learn all about their craft.
He can get degrees and passwords
And be loaded down with symbols-
But for true fraternal joys
They cannot hold . candle
To the old Grand Army boys.
They may talk about their badges.
But the one that has the call
Is the Star and Flag and Eagle.
Which is far above them all.
It has won where cannon thundered,
Mid the battles smoke and noise;
So there's nothing holds a candle
To the old Grand Army boys.
Why. they fought and bled together.
And thev shared the prison pen:
They faced the foe in battle
With the elbow touch OF men.
1 uCH tHS was SShS"Sn
Mid the battles crash and noise;
So there's nothing holds a candle
To the old Grand Army boys.
They fraternai, Well. I reckon:
And their charity's all right.
Are they loyaI1 They have proved 1t.
For they left their homes to fight
And this nation owes them homage
For the peace it now enjoys:
So there's nothing holds a candle
To the old Grand Army boys.

Through the efforts Of neighhors the
most Of the furnishings Of the little home

been.

overheated fiue. When discovered the
