FEDERAL PURCHASE
OF SHIPS IS ASKED
Chamber of Commerce Votes to
Urge Congress for Appro-
priation.

Members of the Chamber of Com
merce. at a general meeting last night
adopted a resolution calling upon Con-
gress to authorize the purchase of a
sufficient number of ships to transport
American products to foreign markets.
The question was brought before the
Chamber through the report of the
special committee recently appointed to
deal with the cotton situation, Of
which former senator Marion Butler is
chairman.
Senator Butler and DR.. Clarence J..
Owens, director of the Southern Com
-1ercial Congress. told of the demand in
Germany and other countries for Am
erican cotton This staple, which has
previously served to give to the United
States a large credit in the balance of
foreign trade, DR.. Owens said, is COM
nanding extraordinary prices at present
tn Germany. And while cotton has been
declared by the belligerent powers to
be excluded from the category Of goods
classed contraband Of war, there are
not sufficient ships, he asserted. to
transport the product to the markets in
which it is in demand.
Former Senator Butler. James F.
Oyster, DR.. Owens. A. Leftwich Sim
clair, and P. T. Moran were designated
as s. committee to present the resolution
TO Congress.
Though a report had not been re-
quested from the special committee
dealing with the question Of suffrage
for the District until the December
meeting, Chaplin Brown, the chairman,
announced that his committee had de-
termlned to draft a resolution for pre-
sentstion to Congress, asking the ballot
in the selection OF representatives for
the District of Columbia in both houses
of Congress and in the Electoral Col
lege.
r. c. L. Moncure. N. d. Rosenberg,
and Louis Gutenberg were appointed
a committee to investigate the delay in
bringing criminal cases to a conclusion
by the grand jury. A letter was read
from Edward Schmidt, contending that
there are at present 40 prisoners in the
District Jail who have been in con-
Inherent for one year awaiting action
by the grand jury.

ARMY POLICY MAY
BRING ABOUT CLASH
Administration Opposed to Plan
of Gardner for National De-
fense Inquiry.

: A sharp clash between powerful clc-
ments in Congress and the Admin stra-
| ton over questions of navy and army
pClicy is looked for at the coming seS-
; sion.
, Large numbers of mcribers, of both
Republican and Democratic parties.
| are convinced this country must wake
up and do something with reference to
preparedness for defense. The Gardner
resolution for an inquiry will have
strong support.
President Wilson is opposed 20 the
Gardner resolution. ana has no SYM
pathy with the agitation of the uues-
ton of preparedness. 1t is expected
that he will oppose allowing army and
navy officers to give Testimony before
commission named In pursuance or the
Gardner resolution If that Is adopted.
It is entirely possible that Admtnistra-
ton opposition will defeat the Gardner
resolution.
Secretary of War Garrison takes the
position that Mr.. Gardner or any COM
mittee in Congress may have all the In
formation desired concerning the mill
tary establishment but that such in
formation must come through him and
not through loose relations between
army officers and Congress: III the
Rules Committee takes up the Gardner
resolution, Secretary Garrison eNpects
he will be the first witness called as the
responsible officer OF the Government.
But Secretary Garrison will probably
refuse to detail officers to appear De-
fore Congress to give testimony.
However. should the inquiry be made,
by no means will it be under the con-
troll of the Administration or OF the
War Department. Men Will propapl!

Harry Harding. alias II. F. Harden.

by Judge Mullowny in the Police Court
yesterday on charge OF false pretcnse.
Harding or Harden was convicted of
a charge of passing an alleged worth
less chec;. for s24 on Mrs. ]. Dennis.
He denied the charge, but two other
witnesses testified as to the cashing of
the check for him by Mrs. Dennis.
Harding told Judge Mullowny that
he was rooming at Mrs. Dennis house
on X street. and that his expenses
were paid by Sergt. Cats. in charge
of the vice squad. He said he had
been sent there for the purpose of
seeing if he could get evidence of any
wrongdoing. Mrs. Dennis was recent
ly convicted in the Police Court on a
charge of selling liquor without a
license. and at that time Harding testi-
lied against her.
Il don't see how the police can eX-
pect TO make cases when they employ
such persons to secure evidence for
them. said Judge MuIlowny. Here
this man is sent to the house by the
