VINO had sluieed them here three days
went to Putney that day and strung
boom there, then returned to the dam
at Wilder and tried to sluice them over
there, but the water was so low that
the effort has been abandoned and
some of the men have returned here
to wait for rise of water. There are
not enough logs above the dam here
to entirely stop the motor boating, but
with the wind just right they interfere
seriously with it, Much less effort is
shown here in caring for the logs and
helping the boatmen to pass them than
had been promised by the Connecticut
Valley Lumber CO., and feeling is run
ming high regarding it.

NAVAL ECONOMY" FADES
Only 20 Democrats Appear at
Dreary House Caucus.

Washington. Feb S.-Democratic econ
omy fizzled out tonight when only twenty
OF the majority members of the House
met In conference to discuss ways and
means TO prevent the passage OF an out
rageous" naval appropriation BILL which
carries authorization for two new battle
ships. A week ago more than threescore
indignant Democrats met to denounce the
Naval Affairs Committee.
Representative Sisson. OF Mississippi,
took considerable time in demanding
economy in expenditures. but the ''econo-
mists' left the conference room by ones
and tW5s. and when adjournment was
finally taken only eight faithful ones were
present.
Chairman Saunders said full confer
ence" would be held after the naval bill
was reported. The action of the economy
Democrats. he asserted. would depend
largely on the size OF the naval bill. II
the committee refuses To redraft the bill
and reduce it's total he promised that
drastic action would be taken.
Several Of the economists who were
prominent in the dreary conference to-
night were among the loud voiced advo-
Gates OF the public buildings bill. which
passed the House yesterday. The passage
of the 100000 pork barrel il is be-
lieved. may have played some part in the
sudden lack OF interest in the anti-bat
ships fight.
