EXPLOSION ON CRUISER DUE
TO BAD WORK IN NAVY YARD
Difficulty of Keeping Sufficient Force
of First=CIass Mechanics Reason
Given for the Conditions

WASHINGTON March 81. - The
court martial of Lieut. e. w. McIn-
tyre, former engineer of the Colorado
in connection with a recent fatal eX-
plosion on that ship Gt is incidentally
believed that he has been acquitted,
is said to have disclosed an unsatisfac-
tory condition of affairs at the Bre-
merton navy yard.
Bad workmanship is supposed to have
been the cause of the explosion, and
the reason for that is the difficulty in
keeping together at the Bremerton
yard a sufficient force of first class
mechanics, owing to the scarcity and
uncertainty of naval work there.

CAMPAIGN PUBLICITY LAW
BECOMES REAL POSSIBILITY
Democrats and Insurgents May Com-
bine to Pass Measure Which
Cannon Has Opposed

WASHINGTON, March 21.-The en-
actment of a national campaign pub
licity law now has a chance to become
a possibility, in the opinion of Perry
Belmont. president of the National
Publicity Law association.
Mr. Belmont declared yesterday that
the defeat of Speaker Cannon would
favorably affect the passage of
measure requiring the publication Of
campaign contributions.
"The insurgent Republicans and the
Democrats to a man are for il. he de-
clared. "The speaker and the pres
ent Republican leaders in control of
the house, backed by high tariff and
associated interests have stubbornly
resisted the enactment Of such a law"

declared representative Norris of Ne
braska today.
1T represented" he said, "thc state
ments of a senile man who was filed
with venom and vengeance because of
a crushing defeat which he had suf-
fered as a result of his tyranny.
II voted against the Burleson resolu-
tion to declare the speakership va
cant" said MIR. Norris, because it
was fight for principle and not one
of personalities | did not wish to see
the house precipitated into chaos and
disorder from which it probably would
not emerge for weeks, to the detri-
ment of important pending legislation.
Our victory already had been won
when we deprived the speaker of his
most powerful weapon-the appoint
ment of the rules committee. l had
only moment to think ii over, and |
decided it was better to place party
welfare above personal revenge.
Why He Voted for Cannon
81 voted for Cannon for speaker at
the beginning of the present congress,
but not because | was for him. He
had insulted and Inundated me and
he had taken me from all important
committees. We had not spoken for
two years. But / voted for him re
gardless of these facts, because | did
not want him to have opportunity in
future to discriminate against me and
declare that he did so because | was
a 'bolter.'
"I still think I did right Saturday
when / voted to retain Cannon in the
chair. Events, l believe, will justify
me-"
1t was suggested to Mr.. Norris if
the Republican caucus should name
six men dominated by Speaker Can
non the new rules committee scarcely
would differ from the old one and the
insurgents victory on the rules
question would be practically vitiated.
Victory Will Bear Fruit
"The victory may not show so much
in the present congress-" answered
Norris "but i'm the years to come it
will be in evidence. We have taken
the speaker himself from the rules
committee and have taken the naming
of the other members out of his hands.
The members of that committee here
after will not be under the slightest
obligation to the speaker but will be
responsible to the house alone for their
appointment.
"Also the house can change the rules
committee if it does not obey the
wishes Of the house"
Mr. Norris vigorously denounced the
attitude assumed by the speaker to-
ward the insurgents" since the vote
Saturday.
1T all depends on how the Republi-
can majority conducts itself toward
the insurgents in the future, as to
what our own actions will be- he con-
tinued.
"When the speaker denounces us as
towards, he is but widening the split
in the party and making our insur-
gency more intense. We are not cow
ards but We are honest. conscientious
men when we voted last Saturday not
to dethrone the Republican speaker
of the house"
