ASKS FOR NAVAL HOLIDAY
Hensley, Who Proposed Measure, Cites
High Cost Of Living
as Reason.

Washington, Dec. 3.-The house for
hours debated the Hensley resolution
to commit the United States to the
Winston Churchill plan for an interna-
tional years holiday in naval construc-
ton, which is approved by President
Wilson, and the advocates Of the pro-
ject predicted adoption of the reso-
luton in the house some time Friday.
Consideration Of the matter will be
resumed Thursday, with both sides
the advocates far outnumbering the
opponents-prepared to continue the
debate.
Representative Hensleyy OF Missouri,
author of the measure, in urging it's
adoption pointed out that while the
cost of living was arousing protest
only two per cent of the United States
revenues is devoted to the benefit of
agriculture, while 60 per cent. goes
to defray the cost of the past wars and
to prepare for future wars

STREET
DROPS SIX FEET
Half Block Sinks as Huge
Water Mains Break.
MANY ON CAR IN DANGER
Trolley With Score of Passengers Just
Escarc Being Caught by cave-ln-
Believed at First That Sky
scraper Would Collapse.

Chicago, Dec. g. Randolph street,
from North Wabash avenue half way
to State street, caved in last night
when two water mains burst, endan-
gering two of the largest buildings
within the loop, Marshall Fields
retail store and the Masonic Temple.
The cave-in occurred few seconds
after an Archer avenue car containing
more than a score of passengers had
traversed the track directly over the
broken main. At one point the pave
ment sank to a depth of IL feet below
the street level.
- Crowd Drawn to Scene.
The break occurred at 1885 o'clock,
at an hour when several loop theaters
were pouring forth their crowds into
the streets. People thronged to the
scene Of the cave-in, attracted by swift
" flying reports that the Marshall
Field building and the Masonic Tenn
pie were in danger OF scollapsing and
falling into the streets.
Fire companies and squads Of police
arrived early on the scene to shut on
the water and to keep the crowds out
side the danger zone.
The first cave-tn occurred directly
in front of the entrance Of the new
addition to Marshall Fields store
which is being erected at the south
west corner of North Wabash avenue
and East Randolph street. Scores or
laborers who were at work on the
structure fed to the street in terror
and the foreman gave them their
choice Of returning to their duties or
handing in their time" About half
of them preferred to lose their jobs.
1875 Feet Of Pavement Sinks.
At midnight about 125 feet Of Ran
dolph street, from Wabash avenue
west. had sunk. The average depth
of the cave-in was about six feet from
the old street level.
When Battalion Marshal P. ]. Egan,
arrived on the scene an Archer ave-
nue. car was on the track. A moment
later, just as the car turned into State
street, the first big sag came, the
street dropping from three to eight
feet for distance of about 30 feet.
This break caused an eight-inch
main leading into the Marshall Field
store and dozen or more gas mains
to break. Crews from the centra
emergency bureau of tbs water pipe
extension arrived shortly after and
shut off the water and gas at Wabash
avenue and State street, stopping the
food.
Negro Caught In Flood.
A negro laborer at work in the sub
basement of the new Marshall Field
addition was caught in the flood and
sank to his ears in mud and water.
He was pulled out by his companions.
Engineers employed by John Crit
fifth & Sons, contractors, who are build
ing the Marshall Field addition, re-
ported that the new history structure
was not in danger. They also declare
their belief that the old Marshall Field
building and the Masonic Temple, a
History structure, were in no danger
Of collapse.
