UNABLE TO AGREE
OVER THE MARINES
House and Senate Still at
Odds in Regard to PreSi-
dents Order.

With the close Of the Roosevelt Ad-
ministratiOn but one week distant,
the House and Senate are unable to
agree upon whether the marines shall
remain aboard waTships, in opposi-
tion to the Presidents recent eXecU-
tive order. Representative FOsS.
chairman of the House COnferees, so
reported to the House today.
a number Of other disagreements
were repoterd and the House voted
that it would insist further upon its
attitude, sending the bill back TO con-
ference, Representatives Foss, Lou
denslager, and Padgett being named
cOnferees by the Speaker.
nj addition to refusing to accept the
Senate amendment, which restored the
marines to battleships and was direct
sla pat the Presidents prerogauves as
Commander-in-chief OF the army and
navy, the House conferees also declined
10 accept the Senate amendment grant
ing fifteen days sick leave TO the en-
ployes OF the Washington navy yard,
and other navy yards, throughout the
country. Navy yard employees now have
but fifteen days leave of absence per
year. The Senate amendment put them
on the same plane as the employees Of
other departments.
Senate Amendment
The Senate amendment, which the
House has refused to accept, affecting
the marines, was as follows:
Provided, that no part Of the appro-
priations herein made for the Marine
Corps shall be expended for the pur-
poses Tor which said appropriations are
made unless officers and enlisted men
shall serve as heretofore on board all
hattleshipS ard aTmored cruisers, and
also upon such other vessels OF the navy
a the President may direct, in detach-
The strength of the enlisted men Of the
navy on said vessels
This amendment Is regarded as the
most serious obstacle in the way of an
hill. although the COnferees are as yet
far apart on several other amendments
among them being:
The House provision requiring that
every young man who desires TO enlist
in the navy must present a certificate Of
birth at the time Of enlistment, proving
that he is of the required age. The Sen
ate desires TO modify this to require
merely that a written statement other
than his own. acceptable in the discre-
ton Of the recruiting officer, shall be
presented.
The Senate amendment authorizing
the Secretary OF the Navy to appoint
suitable board TO investigate and report
10 Congress the adviSability Of estab-
fishing a naval base on the coast OF
California, south of San Francisco.
The Senate amendment providing that
so far as practicable the President
should keep One-half OF the navy Of the
United States on the Pacific coast at
all times. This amendment is generally
regarded as a war-scare provision.
Agree on Other Matters.
The House and Senate cOnferees, how
ever, reached an agreement on moro
than a score OF amendments TO the bill.

Carolina Langdon bore herself better
than was to have been expected under

She saw more clearly now how she had

revolution that would make it impos-

from the line of duty to her father, her
family and to herself.
When Randolph had finished Carolina
took up her own defense, and eloquent

reach-the defense of the woman who
