DEMOCRATS HOLD
RE|NS IN HOUSE
New Rule Gives Minority Power
Over Appropriations.
HOBSON PREDICTS GREAT WAR
Former Naval OFFICER Says Country
VIII Be Involved In Bitter Strife
With Japan Within Ten
Months

Washington. By the adoption
OF a rule which, when invoked by
two-thirds vote, forthwith reduces
the time Of debate on any pending
measure to forty minutes and cuts off
all amendments the omnibus war
claims bill, against which a filibuster
had been conducted since Friday, was
passed in short order. The effect OF
the rule is to put an end to flibuster-
ing in the house at this session Of
congress.
The Democrats accepted the rule, as
the two-thirds vote necessary gives
them a veto power over the proposed
suspension. Chairman Dalzell of the
committee on rules first presented it
with the provisions that majority Of
the house could suspend the rules. The
Democrats protested SO vigorously that
the modified rule was brought out.
Mann's flibuster on the war claims
bill began Friday. He succeeded in
having stricken from the bill the pro-
vision for the payment of overtime,
navy yard claims.
During an impassioned speech In ad-
vocacy of an authorization this year
Of four battleships instead Of two,
representative Richmond Pearson
Hobson predicted this country would
be at war with Japan in ten months,
md that the war would last six years,
IT perhaps a decade.
The nations of the world and our
OWN f1nanciers will be petitioning the
government to end what will prove at
irst to be for US a disastrous conflict,
)ut we will fight on after humiliation
until we conquer" said Hobson.
DO you think Japan could finance a
war with the United States?" asked
Gaines of West Virginia.
Then Captain Hobson, who had
served in the navy, told of the difficult
des confronting this country in con-
iict with Japan. The Panama canal
will not have been built and Japan,
after taking the Philippines, Guam and
Hawaii, could occupy Panama to pre-
vent completion Of the canal.
Captain Hobson predicted great loss
% this country in treasure and life, be-
cause of unpreparedness for the COM
ng conflict, and urged immediate au-
:horization for four battleships with
necessary transports and GOLFERS.

Chicks Lose Another Of the
Hard Luck Brand Of
Games
TEAMS In ANOTHER
OF SERIES TODAY

The Chicks lost another hard luck
game to Johnstown yesterday by
to score. The beginning of the end
came in the fifth inning, when the
Johnnies tied the score off walks by
McClelland and Hitchcock, and Nc
Clelland's steal ahead OF Finks'
double to deep left. Wilmington had
set the pace in the second inning,
when Baxter's single drove in Mat
thews and Bastian, after Keister's
sacrifice had scored Brent, but the
Chicks could not break the tie. Johns
town hung up the winning talley in
the sixth. Conn got on through Fritz's
high throw of his bounder and was
advanced to the plate on sacrifices by
Follansbee and Manning. After the
second inning not Chick got beyond
second base
The Johnnies hit Baxter for six
clean ones, McClelland, Fink and
Manning drawing doubles. Harkins
was behind the bat and Fritz on third.
Marhefka, Weeks, Bastian and Keis-
ter played the usual brilliant game,
Tony excelling in a great one-hand
stop of Follansbee's drive in the
fourth, on which he got Conn at sec
ond and threw Follansbee out at first.
Keister, Marhefka and Bastian figured
in another brilliant double play. The
teams play again tomorrow.

breaks that way against the Chicks.
Baxter's single drove in the only
runs of the day.
Follansbee was a swimmer in his
younger days. He made a pretty dive
to get Matthews at first in the sixth
inning.
Fritz made a nice pick up of Conn's
| bounder and then threw the ball into
the moon.
Six men tried to steal on Harkins
and four of them got away with It,
