VOTES TWO BATTLE SHIPS.
House, by l62 to no, Orders War
"a Craft to Cost &c, DOC, 600 Each,

The naval appropriation bill carry
ing $12s,037,60 and providing for two,
battleships was passed by the National
House Of Representatives the other
day by the decisive vote of 1862 to ITO.
The ships are to-cost $6,0O0,0OO each.
Thirty-three Democrats voted for the
two battleships and twenty-four Re
publicaBs against the proposition. In
addition to the battleships the bill also
provides for the construction Of two
feet Golfers and four submarine
boats. Assamended on motion OF Mr.
Fitzgerald of New York, the two bat
tleships and two feet Golfers must be
constructed by firms operating under
the eight-hour law. M
The committee on naval affairs had
reported in favor OF authorizing two
battleships Mr. Tawney Of Mime
sofa, chairman of the appropriations
committee, offered an amendment pro-
viding for only one battleship, while
Mr.. Hobson proposed an amendment
providing for. three. Mr.. Hobson con-
tended that three battleships would
give no increase. but would provide
only for the ordinary depreciation in
the naval force. BY an almost unani.
nous vote the House rejected this
proposition. u,

Governor Hughes OF New York. In u
special message to the Legislature of

Accompanying the message was a
preliminary report OF Superintendent
Hotchkiss outlining the facts develops

the various leads which have been un-
covered. The superintendent says that
obstacles apparently insuperable have
developed in the course of the inquiry.
These in his judgment warrant further
investigation, but he has no power TO

By way OF ST.. Paul the present rate of
$14 for either berth from Chicago to

lower berth and $40 for an upper berth.
Oficials Of the commission expect this

Action Of Tennessee Executive After
Adverse Court Ruling Opens
Political War.

Colonel Duncan B. Cooper, sentenced
last year, with his son, Robin ]. Coop
er, to twenty years in the State peni.
Tertiary upon conviction Of the killing
of former United States Senator Ed.
ward w. Carmack in Nashville, Tenn,
Nov. 8. 1908. was granted a full pardon
by Governor Patterson few minutes
after the Supreme Court had affirmed
his sentence. The court ordered new
trial for Robin ]. Cooper. Colonel
Cooper was released soon after his par.
don was signed. His son is at liberty
under $4,000 bonds, and his friends
freely predict that he will not again be
arraigned for trial.
Governor Patterson's action has
aroused Nashville and Tennessee as
nothing ever did before, There is the
most intense excitement throughout
the city. The street corners, hotel lob.
jbies and other places where crowds
congregate have been the scenes OF the
most violent discussions. Rumors of
the Governor resigning. of an attempt
ed assassination and Of plot to lynch
Colonel Cooper have filled the air since
the pardon was issued.
Governor Patterson. in the pardon
which he wrote for Colonel Cooper.
said: I'm my opinion. neither OF the
defendants is guilty, and they have not
had a fair and impartial trial, but were
convicted contrary to the law and the
evidence. The action Of the Supreme
Court in vacating the Judgment as to
Robin Cooper. leaves the sentence OF
inal conviction as to his co-defendant.
The proof showed that Robin Cooper
killed deceased and that D. B. Cooper
lid not fire shot. Without reflection
lpon the court, 1t is inconceivable to
my mind and repugnant to every priv
,iple of justice that a man should be
found guilty Of murder who was not
in conspiracy to kill and who. in fact,
lid not kill" i
The Supreme Courts reversal in the
case was based on the assignment of
error in the trial judges falling to
charge the jury as to Robin Cooper's
theory of self-defense, linking the de-
tense of the two defendants together,
excluding testimony Of Governor Pat
iterson as to talks with Robin Cooper.
