OLD FRIGATE'S FINAL BERTH
Constellation to Come to Permanent

Removal of the famous old frigate
Constellation from the naval training

ported favorably to the house OF rep
resentatives by the committee ON
naval affairs. AS the committees ac-
tion was practically unanimous the
early passage of the measure appears
probable. The Navy League OF the
United States and other patriotic or
ganizatons are behind the project and
are earnestly advocating favorable ac-
tion.
Suggestion that the old ship be
transferred to Washington was first
made by Rear Admiral Victor Blue,
chief of the bureau of navigation OF
the navy department, in his annual re-
mort to the secretar.. The rear ad-
