House Passes $5,175,2OO Appro-
priation Bill, Good Part Of
Which VIII Be Used in Adding
to the Land Defenses Of This
Island; Daniels Favors Two
Battleships to Maintain Naval
Efficiency.

WASHINGTON, January 3o.-
(Associated Press by Federal
Wireless) Carrying total Of
$5,175,200, the annual fortifica-
tions bill passed in the house yes
terday. The measure as passed
provides for the system Of land
defenses on the Island of Oahu,
along the lines decided upon by
the Macomb board some time ago
and as asked for by the war de-
partment. The sum of $475,00O
of the total amount carried in the
appropriation will be used for
this work.
The land defense work of Oahu
as planned provides for six-inch
barbette gun batteries in concrete
emplacements at Red Hill and Salt
Lake Crater. These guns are now
at Honolulu. ~. g..
In addition there will be a six
inch battery of barbette guns on
Ford Island in Pearl Harbor and
a six-inch battery Of barbette
guns at Fort Kamehameha.
II is the belief that the placing
of these defeIhes will make the
northwest eeast ef Oahu imprep-
nable against a landing force.
Secretary Of the Navy Daniels
appeared before the house com
mittee on naval affairs during the
day. He declared that interna-
tional cessation Of naval construc-
tion was preferable to the declar-
ing of a one-year naval holiday.
He further stated that two battle
ships for the present year was the
minimum number that should be
built in order to maintain the eff
cheney OF the navy, adding that he
sees no reason for constructing
four battleships this year.

Suits Explained

r. r, Reidford, in an interview yes

separate condemnation suits which fol-
lowed. He said: ..,t2
"Suit was commenced December 23,
1910, but was not actually brought to
trial until February 1919.
1Demurrers were filed by the sew
eral respondents, the principal ground
being that the appropriation by con.
gress was insufficient TO cover the value
Of the property sought to be condemned
and that the secretary of the interior
was prohibited by statute from spend
ing money in excess of the amount
specifically appropriated for any par
ticular purpose. Consequently il was
pleaded that the owners would be put
to great deal of unnecessary ex-
pense as the United States would prob
ably decline to take the property, the
awards being too high. This is exact.
ly what has happened; the awards are
in excess of the appropriation and
there appears to be little hope Of con
gress voting an additional appropria-
tion," he said.

Strong Case, Says wilmington.

"If that purpose is now abandoned
We have a strong case, he said, and
w. X. Castle, who was present, confirm,
ed Withington1s position In the matter.
The fight to get q federal building
for Honolulu first took definite shape
in January, 1908, when the delegate In
congress yeestyed instfncti0hA from the.
local business interests to begin work
with that end in view. ma
4 The selection of a suitable location
was thoroughly canvassed for two years
and the merchants decided in favor, Of
the Mahuka property, decision which
was officially confirmed by the Wash
ington authorities April 1, 1907.
The Mahuka property was then PR
chased by the government as detailed
above. The supervising architects Of
the treasury department prepared plans
for half-million-dollar building and
these plans were accepted April, 1910,
In June, 1910, 1t was decided by the
government that the land area was too
small and recommendations that had
been made for the enlargement of the
site clear through to Fort street were
approved.
The advocates Of the Irwin site again
made efforts to have the proposed struc-
ture transferred to that location, which
action led to a mass meeting of the
merchants and business interests Of this
city in October, 1910. Resolutions were
passed stating emphatically that the
business interests were for the Mahuka
site first, last and all the time. The
district attorney was directed to pro-
ceed with condemnation proceedings,
and he announced his readiness to pro.
ceed in December, 1910, In the mean
time the delegate had succeeded in get
ting an appropriation of 100000, $780,.

Joe Rivers in Milwaukee last night.
After Willie Richie fights Harlem

scrapping the New Yorker, and pro-
viding also that Wolgast isn't victim
of senile decay before the Califor-

Wolgast seemed to be, proving to
himself that he was able to stand the
pace of a long fight. He did not
throw everything into the ten rounds,
and appeared to be full of life when
the final gong rang. He ripped into
Rivers viciously, and wore him down
with a succession Of body punches
that carried pain
If the fight had gone farther AID
could probably have put his man
away, as he was gradually batter
