READY FOR FIGHT.
Contest Expected ON House
Naval Bill.
Senate Restores Provisions
Which Were Stricken Out.

Washington, March 1.-The two bat
tleship men and the one battleship men
in the house prepared today for fight
on the naval bill.
The senate last night restored many
of the original provisions struck out by
the house, and when the bill came back
to the speakers desk today it pro-
vided for two battleships, six torpedo
boat destroyers, four submarines, one
transport and one supply ship.
The plan of the house leaders in
charge of the bill was to disagree to the
senate amendment and send the bin
to further conference, but some of the
two battleships men in the house
planned to make a fight to concur with
the senate amendment
With these battle lines drawn, Repre-
sentative Padgett, of Tennessee, chair
man of the naval committee was
ready to either ask for a suspension of
the rules to get quick action on the
sending of the bill to conference or to
resort to a special rule from the rules
committee.
