blaze was not realized was the dis

at $40 p. NJ, until noon Tuesday.
There will be no appropriations for
battleships or public buildings at this
session of Congress- This was the de-
eision by the Democrats in the House
after a spirited caucus. tonight. Elimi-
nation of a battleship appropriation
was a surprise, the caucus having
been called To consider a S16,00o000
public building bill. recommended by
the committee on public buildings and
grounds. Representative Burnett OF
Alabama offered an amendment, how
ever to resolution to dispense with
the public buildings bill that no bat
tleship appropriation be reported TO
the House.
Representative Hebson of Alabama,
headed bitter attack on the amend
ment but it was passed by vote of
IS to 6S.
The saving resulting from this ae-
ton by the caucus is estimated by the
Democratic leaders TO aggregate about
$40. 100000. In the cause of public
buildings, however, there may be some
appropriation for emergencies.
After the caucus, 1t was SAID That
the cutting off of the battleship APP
preparation was forced by members
Who were piqued by their defeat in the
matter of the public building APP
preparation. Rep. Hobson and others
who championed two battleship pro-
gram announced that a petition for

once among the Democratic members
and that ii would contain an appeal
