HOUSE WILL AGREE.
Growth of City by the Sea-one-half
of Ships Docked on Atlantic Coast
Go to Virginia Port.

Washington, D. c., June 11-Sen'
ators Swanson and Martin have sue,
ceeded in their Undertaking to pu'
through the Senate a piece OF leg
islation which will insure the eXpendl-
lures of S3,O00,000 of government
irIoney in the state of Virginia.
In the naval appropriation bill,
which is now in the hands of the con-
ferees preparatory to becoming a law
there is. this Senate amendment.
For new dry dock at Norfolk
Navy Yard, Norfolk Virginia, Ito
cost $3,OOO,OOO.) $2OO,O0O".
This means that, if the conferees
on the part of the House agree to the
contention of the Senate corferees,
the naval appropriation bill will au-
thorize the expenditure between now
and next December Of 100000 for
building the dry dock, the under
standing being that, from time to
time as the money is needdii, addition
al appropriations will be made by
Congress until the total of S3,000,00O
is expended in completing the dry
dock. Senator Swanson offered this
amendment to the bill on the floor OF
he Senate, and he and Senator Mar
tin after a long debate and because OF
sheir personal influence in the Sen
ate, succeeded in having it retained
IN the bill. They are confident that
he House will agree to the proposi.
tion..
In discussing the matter on the
aoor of the Senate, Senator Swanson
said:
"Neany one-half Of all the ships
hat are docked on the Atlantic coast
IRE docked at Norfolk. To be accurate
lbout fifty per cent. The statistics
will show that; and it is impossible
IN the Atlantic coast, with the pre-
.;ent inadequate docking facilities,
for docking to be made with suff-
:ient rapidity. If an. injury happens
TO a battleship, there is only one
,;ock where it can be docked at pre-
sent, and: that is in New York.
",:When the Arkansas was injured
it toek nearly three; months before
she couY: be released from dock, and
consequently if anything should hap
zen to nHrber of ships, or if any
emergency should arise. unless there
was another dock to repair ships we
would be almost helpless. The De-
3artment has made an estimate as
to what the new dry dock will cost
the ultimate cost to be S3,O00,OOO:
The securing of this appropriation
for the Norfolk navy yard, when II
was desired and eagerly sought b.
so many other navy yards,is the re
suit of a tremendous amount of wort
that has been done by the Virglnl:
Senator's. When Mr.. Swanson offer
ed his amendment on the floor of tht
Senate, it was backejH up by recon-
l,rendations from the Navy Depart
n,ant and bv the most eyDlicit state
ments and figures showing the abso
Lutte need for the. appropriation. Fl
and Senator Martin, before the a
mendment was submitted, took tn
trouble to assure themselves that
sufficient number of votes could b
had to put the proposition into tn
bill

! London, June 11.-Miss Sylvia Pank-
hurst was not permitted to approach
Westminster last night, to interview
Premier Asquith. The proposed visit
to the Prime Minister was arranged
for several days ago by Miss Pank-
hurst and other militant leaders, and
it was decided last night that she
should be carried shoulder high in
the procession, as She was not con-
sidered strong enough to bear the
strain of what promised to be an ar
duous journey. Before the process
sion had gone a mile Miss Pankhurst
was arrested for the eighth time since
she was sentenced to six months
imprisonment, for melting language IN
HYDE Park, and conveyed to Holloway
Jail.
The procession struggled on without
a leader, but by the time It reached
the Strand, it had been dispersed by
TIE police. Under the leadership OF
George I.ansbury, former Socialist
member of the House of Commons,
deputation of women proceeded '- to
Parliament, where they were received
bv P H. Illingworth, the chief LID
eral whip, after having been rebuffed
in all attempts to see the Premier.

Been Pledged.
PARK WILL AID.
Joint Meeting of Trustees OF lnstitu-
ton and Executive Committee viii
Be Held Monday Night.

While the increase in receipts to
day did rot show very much, still
there are a large number OF contrl-
buttons that have been pledgs.,

hoped that the results of the play

rapidly and up to this morning over
two thirds of the reserved seats had
been taken. 1t would be well for those
who intend to get reserved seats to
apply at once at Warfield's Drug
store or they may be disappointed as
it is impossible to secure more re-
served seats than is on the plat.
The thanks of the Committee are
due to Mr. Rich of the Washington
Virginia R. R. Co. for transporta-
tion for the Washington Dramatic
Club from Washington to Alexandria
tonight for rehearsal at the Opera
House and tdrbrrow night.

notified the committee that, that or
ganization will be glad to have them
as visitors on any day during the
summer or fall that they may select,
and the entire receipts Of that day
will 90 to the hospital building fund.
In addition to this prizes will be a
warde2 for dancing aod athletic
games and the management offers $50
in cash to be added to any amount
that the hospital committee may
feel inclined to offer.

THE ULSTER SITUATION.

Il
our Mexican troubles the Ulster ques-
ton has been holding the center of
the British local stage and threaten
ing again 10 shake the whole empire.
The recent secret importation into
Ulster of large quantity Of arms and
ammunition and the reported contin-
uation Of disaffection in the army
have been followed by an ominous as
semblage Of powerful battleships and
torpedo boats off the Ulster coast. and
10y impassioned debates in the house
Of commons For a time il looked as if
hloodshed was almost inevitable. and,
according 10 the Belfast correspondents
Of the New York Times, the situation
Is stlll very critical. But it has be-
come evident TO the liberals that Ills.
ter is not bluhing and will fight for her
convictions, and it has become clear Il
the uuionlsts that without some con-
cessions ON their side listers obstin-
acy may involve the kingdom in civil
war.
The result is that while the home
I bt' ''4 VIA bt passed., some amend
ment probably will be attached to 4
providing that such Ulster counties as
wish 90 exclude themselves from rs
operations can do so by popular vote
until federal system for the united
is adopted. The altered AMI
conciliatory tone Of parliamentary
leaders and Of such papers as the
Times and the Pan Mall Gazette indi-
Gates public appreciation Of the can
scrous character Of tile crisis and Of
the necessity Of compromise.
The outlook is that there will re
home rule FOR Ireland with local OPP
ton feature for Ulster, until a general
federal system can be devised, or until
Ulster changes her mind and decides
10 join the test Of ireland. And it may
be that Irish home rule will prove -
attractive that Ulster will soon grow
.ired Of Hooking all TO herself in spite

CHECKS TYPHOID FEVER.

There are now about 500 cities that
have adopted the hypochloride treat
ment for disinfecting drinking water.
In eight. IL has been tested for eleven
years. The eight cities involved I'm
the test are Baltimore, Cleveland, Dcs
Moines, Erie, Evanston, Jersey City,
Kansas City and omaha.
The population of these cities totals
about 2,033,OO0. The average typhoid
death rate for all the cities was 3O2
per 100000 before and IA after the
use of hypochlorite, reduction of
1913 deaths per 100000 or" 81 per
cent.
OF the eight cities considered, six
had higher typhoid rates in 1913 than
in 1912, but il is asserted that 1913 was
a typhoid year" and that doubtless
the number of typhoid deaths would
have been much larger that year had
it not been for the use of hypochlor-
ite.
