SENATE PASSES BILL
PROVIDING FOR TWO
BATTLESH|PS YEARLY
Fail to Adopt Single Ship
Measure Passed by House.
To Confer With the
House Committee

Washington. February 2s.-Two battie-
ships were voted into the naval appropria-
ton bill by the Senate tonight after a
short discussion of the provision adopted
by the House limiting the building pro-
gramme to one battleship. The two bat
tleship amendment. offered by the navl
committee of the Senate, was adopted 81
to It, An amendment by Senator Bran
degee providing for three ships was de-
feated 81 to As.
The Senate also added to the six tor
pedo boat destroyers and four sub
marines authorized by the House, one
transport TO cost not more than sl,s5o.ooe
and one supply ship to cost not more
than 81, $4,000. the figures In both cases
being exclusive of armor and armament
The two battleships would cost not more
than s7,425.0o0 each, exclusive of armor
and armament. At the end of an ex-
tended debate it was provided that one
of the battleships should be built in the
government navy yard, after the Senate
had defeated an amendment by Senator
Oliver to provide that the government
build one ship only in case the cost did
not amount to more than $4,000 over the
cost of building in private shipyard
House May Not Agree
The defeat of the two battleship pro-
gramme in the House is looked for by
many members of that body. The House
voted one battleship after a long struggle
and the one battleship advocates declare
they will hold up the entire appropriation
rather than accept Senate amendments
adding the second ship.
The bill as agreed to tonight carries a
total appropriation of approximately $780,
00o,000. proposal made by Senator As
hurts for an Investigation of the arnor
plate contracts about to be made by the
government for the battleship Pennsyl-
vania was defeated on a point of order
Senator Ashurst said representatives of
the Carnegie Bethlehem and Nfidvalc
Steel companies comprising the ''armor
plate trust had all stopped at the same
hotel in Washington and been frequently
together prior to the opening OF the gov
ernment bids. When bids were opened
he said, they did not vary 81 per ton.
Senators who voted against the two bat
tleships amendment were Bacon, Bristow,
Burton, Gore, Johnston, Kern, LaFollette,
Lea, McCumber Myers, Pittman, POM
creme, Shively, Smith of Georgia, Smith
of South Carolina and Thomas.
The bill finally passed the Senate just
before midnight after Senator Thomas
of Colorado had made final and unsuc-
oessful effort to secure the adoption of
one battleship amendment. In order to
enforce it's two battleship programme and
to hasten the settlement of the issue with
the House, the Senate named Senators
Perkins, Penrose and Tillman as con-
ference committee to meet House COM
mittee in case the House refuses to ac-
cept the two battleship amendment.

The first annual meeting of the

 yesterday afternoon at the rooms of
 the board of trade. The meeting was
 stormy from the start, there was
 more noise made than the poultry
 show created when in progress at
 the Craig building. The list of the
 prize winners. long one involving
 a great deal of work. had not been
 finished and none knew the standing
 of his or her respective chickens, and
 this was not all The show secre
 tary, supposedly in actual charge of
 all matters in connection with the
 exhibit had not been allowed the
 authority usual with such a position and his instructions and arrange
 ments had been overridden in many places and in many cases by other
 enthusiasts.
 All this and some more, together with the proposition to revise the
 bylaws of the association so as to
 take in members from the outside
 of the county and in other poultry sections of the state of Arizona and by giving these section representation upon the governing body of what is proposed to be made the Arizona State Poultry association.
 However. despite the heat in the arguments. it was realized by all that the interest in the poultry of this section and it's greatest possible de- velopment was the matter of greatest ! import. and after the meeting ad- journed the best of feeling prevailed The annual election of officers was completed. E. w. Reed of Phoenix being reelected president; J. O. Barndt was elected vice president; E. P Hewitt, treasurer. and F. Moss hammer, recording secretary.

 As result of the conferences of Wayland Wood with MT. CoOmbs, the agreement was made to deliver to the company named the leadership which has heretofore been divided up among a number of firms. Announcement is also made that owing to the material enlargement of facilities in the Los An geles branch of the Presto-lite com- panY, over 5000 gas tanks can be charged a day. meaning the shortage that has existed heretofore will be- come a thing of the dim and unillumin- ated past.
