Texas Economist"
Praises Cannon.

Washington. Feb. 22-The Democratic
fhbuster against the naval appropriation
bill continued in the House to-day. Eight
hours were occupied by debate which
ranged from demand by Representative
IIobson for six battleships 10 caustic
lecture on economy 10 his fellow Demo-
Gratis by Representative Martin Dies. Of
Texas. The hlibustering element forced
an adjournment without the conclusion
OF general debate. and a compromise on
q two-hour limit for continuation Of the
debate on Monday was reached.
IL was practically conceded that the
bill. carrying sl46,6lS3Gi. would go through
without change. except in the construc-
ton section. Leaders among the economy
advocates insisted that only one battle
ship would be provided for. but the pro-
sressiye naval policy men claimed TO have
enough votes to retain the provision for
two.
Mr.. llObson. a consistent aGvOcate OF a

speech. The House displayed none OF the
indifference with which II sometimes has
listened 10 the warnings OF the Alabama
