POWDER FOR NAVY
HOUSE PROVISION CAUSES CRITI-
 CIsM IN SENATE.
The House ProvlsAom Required That Ne Paxt of ARpropraaalon should
 Be Paid to ARy Trust or Monopoly.

Washington, Feb. 15.-The House provision in the naval bill that no part of the appropriation for powder should be paid to any trust or monopoly ''ex- eept in the event of an emergency" vas the subject of considerable criticism in the Senate today.
 That 1t was for the purpose of hood winktnE the public and would necessa- rily afect the purchase of powder to any appreciable extent. was charged by Senator Cummins.
 '"rhe prohibition of the bill as pass ed by the House." said Mir. Cummins, 'is keeping the promise to the ear and breaking 1t to the hope"
 He added that he understood the Navy Department under this provision would buy from others except the trust only black powder for loading shells and such powder compared with all the powder used by the government Ia. he said, Rso small as to be almost negligible. He charged the House with an intention of deeeiving. If that be true" Mfr. Cummins said, i've have here a bill which has been heralded to the world as one which prohibits the United States from buying powder from combinations in restraint of trade. while in fact. 1t contains no substantial Limitation whatever"
 Senator Stone suggested that the du Pont Powder Company was the only source from which powder could be ob- fatned.
 'so." said the Missouri Senator, ''the powder trust is the sole source of our supply except so far as the Govern ment itself manufactures powder, at Indian Head. '
 If the Secretary of the Navy should discover that he could buy powder from no one except trust, Mfr. Stone wished to know whether that would be an as provided for in the bill and if so he wished to know wheth- CT the House provision was not "a pre- tense and a fraud on its face"
 Mir. Hale declared that he did not believe 1t was a ''pretense and fraud"
 Senator Tillman interjected that the "Senator from Pennsylvania had had the constitution ravished in his bee half In order to make him eligible for d Cabinet position" and that "distin- guished man had been relieved from the treaBurership of the Republican campaign committee because he was supposed to be president of the powder trust"
