DEATH OF bob"

"Bob," the huge specimen of the fe-
line race, belonging to Captain George
Young, is dead. "Bob" hs';i many ac-
quaintances, as nearly everybody who
entered Captain Young's store had
something pleasant to say to the Gri-
malkin. Unlike most Of his genus,
."Bob" was not catawauler, and was
never known to disturb the slu'rbers
of the genus homo; hence he was not
target for bootjacks, brushes, ETC.,
during the hour when graveyards are
said to yawn He passed most of his
time in taking maps, or rubbing
against his acquaintance at his own
er's place of business. Bob" was not
of the ordinary breed of felines. His
progen:tors came from the Isle of
man, and was known as a Manx cat
which have abbreviated caudal ap-
pendages. "Bob" had merely sus-
>picion Of that member.

MAY LOSE JOBS AT NAVY YARD.
Defeat of Bill For Two Superdread
naughts Would Cause Dees
Cut in Force.

Eight hundred or more men, one
third Of the force now employed at
the Washington Navy Yard, would be
forced out of work by July l, should
Congress fail to pass the pending bill
providing for two ,superdreadnaughts.
1f Congress should provide for only
one big battleship about half that
number Of mechanics would lose their
places. Should there be delay in the
enactment of this legislation fur
loughs would have to be given to a
large part of the working force pend
ing the assembly of material for guns
to be made for the armament of the
warships.
The prospective dismissal Of 100
men about April I, to put, the navy
yard on a normal working basis, was
estimated with the expectation Of
making guns for two dreadnaughts.
Extensive reductions in the force
would be made necessary should there
be failure Of legislation, or the pro-
vision be cut to one battleship. AS
sembling of material for gunIraking
cannot be accomplished without some
time being allowed to the foundries
and contractors to make castings and

Of Factions in Great
Contest.
THREE DAYS DEBATE,
Much Interest Manifested in Outcome
of Present Struggle Over Wilson's
Recommendation.


the opposing factions contesting ev-
cry inch of ground, the House is
scheduled today to begin the battle
over President Wilson's proposal to
repeal the tolls exemption clause of
the Panama Canal act. A bitter and
protracted debate, Of probably three
days, is expected.
The House met at II o'clock, an
hour earlier than usual, to rush to
final passage the rivers and harbors
bin, which has been delaying the
tolls controversy. There was a gen
eral understanding that the repeal
bill would take the right of way
early in the afternoon, and Con-
gresham Adamson, chairman Of the
Committee on Interstate and For
eign Commerce, was ready to fur
ther the adoption of special rule
making the repeal in order.
This rule was reported by the
Rules Committee. 1t gives privileged
status to the repeal measure, intro
duced by Congressman Sims, of
Tennessee, and provides that a vote
on repeal shall be had after fifteen
hours of debate. No opportunity to
amend She repeal bill d,s proposed.
The preliminary skirimsh occurs
or the rule. proper, and the vote
thereon will be fairly accurate test
of the strength of those opposing
and defending the Administrations
program. Members OF the Rules
Committee indicated today that,
wh.le unwilling to extend the tif-
teen-hour limit of debate on the re-
peal proposal, they are willing to
grant more than the customary for
ty minutes ,on the adoption of the
rifle. A longer time to discuss the
rule, which is indirectly the repeal
proposition, will give many mem
brsi al CHANCE TO get in short
speeches on the tolls controvely, un-
der the guise Of discussing the rule.

policies. Strong and resourceful
Democrats were outspoken against
the President, and other strong and
resourceful Democrats were with
the Chief Executive. The ,RepuD-
licans were split, with the majority
however, apparently against the re-
peal. The Progressires, according
to Leader Murdoch, will vote almost
,solidlyr against the Administration
