Democrats Oppose Batteships.

Bemoaning the prospect that the APP
preparations by the present session OF
Congress will be 'the greatest in the
history OF the country" and in contraven-
ton to the economy plank in the Baltl-
more platform. Representative Sherwood.
an Ohio Democrat appealed to William
j. Bryan to-day 10 check Democratic eX-
travaeatce and circulated a petition 10
call party caucus on battleships. Mr..
Sherwood claims that he has already Sc
cured a sufficient number Of signatures to
his caucus petition TO assemble the House
Democrats in a party conclave. and he
will endeavor to prevent any authorize
ton for battleships at this session.
Other Democratic leaders. reminded OF
the unpopularity Of the no battleship'
propaganda during the last session are
hoping a political issue will not be made
Of an increase of the navy. and there are
counter forces at work to obtain appro-
priations for at least two ships.
Mr.. Sherwood is foe OF a big navy. and
voted against battleships at the last ses-
sion. His letter TO the Peerless One" to-
day called attention to the manner in
which tho Democratic House Is permit
ting appropriations 10 run wild. and he
asks tho Commoncr to note the fact that
the House is preparing 10 authorize two
more useless vessels" Mr. Sherwood
says the Secretary OF the Navy recently
tried to sell four obsolete battleships, and
the highest offer received for any ono OF
the vessels was 1900. In an interview
tonight the veteran Ohio Democrat.
speaking from long experience in tho
House says he believes the appropria-
tions at the present session will be the
most reckless in the history Of the
government unless something Is done ITO
check the speed az which Congress is
now going" Mr. Sherwood decided 70
write Mr. Bryan inasmuch as the lat
ter drafted the economy plank in the
Baltimore platform, and the House does
not seem TO be living up 10 prc-campaign
promises.

PASSING the Buck"

There were further indications to-day
that the House leaders do not know what
to do with the Senate resolution limiting
the President 10 one term OF SIX years.
Throughout the day Democrats INDUCED
in the unsatisfa Glory practice of passing
the buck" and the ordinarily loquacious
member was as silent as a clam. Chair
man Clayton of the House Committe on
Judiciary promised 10 bring matters TO
a head by announcing tonight that his
committee would take up the Senate reso-
luton on Thursday and would formally
demand of the Rules Committee special
rule for its consideration. Mr.. Clayton
pointedly recalls that his committee re-
ported a resolution last June, which Is
substantially the same as the Works reso-
luton, and that he has been attempting
ever since to get the Rules Committee 10
make 1t privileged.
The members Of the Rules Committee
are a pestered lot. They haven't heard
from Trenton or Miami. they are be-
sieged for special rules for various other
bills, and each member of the committee
is morally certain that the six-year term
will receive the approval Of the House il
the issue is presented during the present
session. Such prompt action probably
would mean ratification of the constitu-
tional amendment by the states in time
10 extend the term OF Woodrow Wilson
for two years.
1T seems We are the goats OF the
House" lamented a Democratic member
to-day.
Chairman Henry of The Rules Commit
tee, in the words of x-Representati"e
bill" Sulzer, acknowledged that the
question was zone OF great moment, OF
great moment" but he absolutely had no
idea when his committee would meet or
what il would do should il meet.
Meanwhile Representative Clayton, au-
thor OF the House slx-year-term resolu-
ton, Is chuckling. His resolution has
been buried on the calendar for months.
and Mr. Henry. loyal Wilsonite, has
resisted all overtures for a special rule.
The action of the Senate now puts the
issue squarely UP 20 the Rules Committee
of the lower body. for the House Is ready
10 act. On the other hand. If the Rules
Committee hearkens TO the plea of the
judiciary Committee, numerous other
members will descend upon IT, demand
ing special rules for the enforced consid-
Grafton for instance, Of the militia pay
bill. the war claims bill and anti-hquor
legislation. The truth is that the Eu' .
Committee is actually afraid 10 me-
and it's chairman is especially wary until
he receives a tip from Trenton or the
Peerless One" at Miami.

Two House committees Immediately

luton providing for a six-yesr term Tor

the view that inasmuch as the judiciary
Committee had previously reported a
resolution for a sx-year term which 8
now on the calendar. that committee
was entitled TO consider the Works
measure.
Mr.. Cla-to1 was asked why he had not

low and others for criminal violation OF
the antitrust law, held to-day that the
organization of the United Shoe Machin-

trade.
The court declared for the first time
that the Sherman antitrust law does not
forbid the mere combining Of non-coin-
petitors in an industry. Solicitor General
Bulitt. COR the government. had con-
tended that n the combination brought
into one hand an undue proportion OF
the trade il was forbidden by the anti
