Washington, D. c. Jan. 29.-There
will be no appropriations for battle
ships or public buildings at this ses-
sion of Congress.
This was the decision of the Demo-
Gratis If the House after a spirited
caucus tonight. The elimination of
the battleship appropriation was a
surprise the caucus being called for
the purpose of considering SIG, OOO,-
600 public building bill, recommended
by the Committee on Public Buildings
and Grounds. Representative Bur-
nett of Alabama, however, offered an
amendment to resolution to dispense
with the public building bill, that no
battleship appropriation be reported
to the House.

Some men display their public
spiritedness, by loudly announcing
that they are the real origina! boosters,
and after waiting until public senti-
ment has expressed itself, enthusiast
tically cheer, and make a mad scram-
bic for spoil5. This class of men also
usually attempt to make joke of any
project which bears no indication of
resulting in financial profit to them
selves

ever, That Schepps Said
Becker Had Nothing to
Do with Murder.

New York, Sept. 11.-Instead Of being

won a months delay
Justice Bischoff of the supreme court
to-day granted the application Of John
+. Mcintyre. counsel for the indicted
policeman. for a stay until the fist Mon
day In October, which will fall on Octo-
Der I.
The reason for the stay is - allow
the appointment Of a commission of one
or three persons to &c tn Hot Springs
Ark, to take testimony which Is said
to be valuable to Beclier's defens, This
testimony has TO do with Sam Sthepps,
the alleged paymaster of the murlerers.
who after his arrest at Hot Springs Is
declared to have told various persons
that Becker had nothing to do wit, the
Koscnthal murder
The success of Beckei's counsel in
getting stay came as an unpleasant
surprise to District Attorney Whitman.
who had everything in readiness to cpen
the trial Tomorrow That was the lay
originally set by Justice GofY sittine in
The extraordinary term of the supreme
court called by Governor Dix fol- the
Rosenthal murder trials.
There were reports that Mr.. Within n
might go before Justice Gof to seek an
order vacating the stay and for pre-
ceeding with the trial. but the distric,
attorney on learning of Justice Bischoff'
action refused to make known what he
would d. until he was served with the
order.

attorneys Office had received Telegram
from Douglas Hotchkiss Of Hot Springs
newspaper man. stating that allegation.
concerning him in Mr. McIntyre's motor
to-day were false. 1t Is declared tha
Hotchkiss denied that Sam Schepps eve
told him Becker had nothing to do witt
the murder.
1t Is understood that the district attor
ney will send representatives to Ho
Springs to take the afdavits OF all tn.
three men mentioned by Mr.. Mcintyre
Should these bear out the newspaper
mans telegram. the district attorney vii
present them before some court justic,
and ask that the order granting a stay
in the Becker trial be vacated on tn
ground that It was based on an applca
tion made in bad faith.
The telegram received from Hotchkis
was addressed to THE district attorney
and read:
II have made no affidavit in effect tha
Schepps here excu!pated Becker and hav,
reason to believe no others made them
