NAVAL BILL CONSIDERED
LA TOILETTE SUGGESTION &C.
CEPTED BY COMMITTEE.
Pearl Harbor Appropriation Dis
cussed-0ne Battleship Proposed
by Burton.

The railroad bill was displaced in the
Senate today by the naval APPROPRIATION
bill.
The naval bill carries an appropriation
of $50. 737. 934. 1t was anticipated that 1t
would occupy the attention of the Senate
throughout the day. Especial interest
was felt in the provision for two new
dreadnought battleships.
La Toilette Idea Accepted.
The item to provide for the new battle
ships was opposed by Senator La Fol-
lette. He took exception to an authoriza-
ton of railroad bonds as a deposit by
contractors to guarantee the fulfllment
of contracts for the construction of ships,
and made point of order against it,
The suggestion met with immediate
favor at the hands of the committee 1t
allowed the provision to go out. Senator
Gallinger. member of the committee.
stated that the amendment had been
suggested by the Navy apartment.
Before the battleship provision could be
reached again other features of the bill
were discussed, among them the action
of the Senate committee on naval affairs
in reducing from 81 800, GO to g., 10000 the
appropriation for the naval station at
Pearl Harbor, Hawaii.
House Provision Restored.
Senators Perkins, Lodge and Gallinger
sought to have the House provision re-
stored, and were antagonized by Senator
Clapp. The Minnesota senator said that
good policy demanded the erection of a
Dig naval station on the Pacific coast
rather than in the PARKWAY Hawaiian
Islands.
On the other hand. Mr.. Gallinger con-
tended that an invasion from the east
could be much more easily checked with
a good station at Pearl harbor.
After further speeches. the committee
amendment was disagreed to, thus insur-
ing the retention of the larger sum, as
carried by the House bill
Senator Burton then presented an
amendment providing for only one battle
ship, and precipitated general debate.

Ak IS READY TO DROP.
MANY TREASURY CLERKS
ABOUT TO LOSE PLACES.
Letters Of Notification, It Is Elk.
pected, Will Be Delivered
Tomorrow.

The ak is about to drop in the Treas
ury Department. Announcement to this
effect was made today, when q statement
was issued from the Office OF Assistant
Secretary Norton that arrangements had
been made to give leaves of absence to
all employees who will be affected by
the economies and improvements in busi-
ness methods which will take effect July
1, 1910''
Treasury employees have known ever
since the appropriation bill was passed
that general reduction in the working
force would occur at the end OF the pres
ent fiscal year. Consequently there has
been much anxiety, and even today the
clerks who will lose their places have
not been advised of their impending fate.
Letters of notification. to be inclosed in
the much-dreaded blue envelopes" are
being prepared today in the office of the
chief of the appointment division. and
they will be ready for the signature Of
the Secretary tomorrow morning. 1t is
expected the letters will be delivered
some time tomorrow.

Nearly 200 Affected.

By the appropriation nearly 200 en-
ployes in the Treasury were affected, but
within the last six months, as rapidly as
vacancies have occurred in the Treasury
or in other departments. transfers of
competent persons have been effected. In
this way approximately 115 clerks will
be given new positions at the opening of
the fiscal year, July /.
But the others will lose their positions
aitogether. and the only satisfaction
which they will have will be that their
names will be placed on a preferential
roll and they will be reinstated as va
cancies occur. Even the 115 who will be
re-employeu will suffer financially, because
in nearly all instances the new positions
which will be found for them will carry
smaller salaries. All the clerks who will
be dismissed or transferred will be noti-
fed that they may take any portion of
their unused annual leaves before June
80.

DECKER FOR PINE sTUMPs.
Turpentine Company and State Can't
Reach an Agreement.

Lansing, Mich, Nov. 30.-The North
ern Turpentine Co is having a hard
time trying TO make a deal with the
state land department for the pine
stumps on several thousand acres of
northern land owned by the state
The turpentine company, which was
recently incorporated and whose mem
bers are composed for the most part
of physicians throughout the state de-
sire the old stumps for the manu-
facture of turpentine. They are willing
to pay the state a small amount for
the stumps and take the same from
the land, but the main point involved
on which the state and the company
appear to differ. is the fact as TO how
much time the company be allowed
to remove the stumps. They desire
all the way from one to twenty years
and the state wants them to clear up
one "forty" at time, giving them a
stated time in which to have the jot
completed. and then the state land de-
partment can place the description OF
land on the market for sale. The
question will be discussed at the meet
ing of the public domain commission
this week.
