SENATE |NDORSES
 BIGGER NAVY BILL
No Roll Call Necessary on
 Building Programme
FINAL PASSAGE SOON
Leaders Think Vote on Measure as Whole Will Be Reached Today. Stubborn Fight Is Yet to
 Come From Opponents

Washington, July 1S.-The enlarged
 naval building programme recommend
 ed by the naval committee after con-
 ferences with President Wilson and
 Secretary Daniels was approved by the Senate today by viva voce vote. Dem ocratic and republican leaders worked together to secure its passage and al though a small group of senators iron.
 both sides of the chamber opposed it
 during debate, sentiment in its favor
 was so overwhelmingly that no roll
 call was demanded
 With the important building section out of the way, administration leaders
 believe the naval bill can be pressed to a final vote tomorrow and sent to con- ference, where a stubborn fight is ox- pected. The programme approved to- day provides for construction of four battle cruisers and four dreadnaughts in 1917 and total of Is war vessels of all classes within the next three years. As it passed the House the bill authorized only five capital ships, all battle cruisers, for next year and made
 no provision for a continuing policy. Only two amendments likely to de- velop extended argument remain to be disposed of before the Senate reaches final vote. They are Senator Oli- ver's proposal directing that the fed eraI trade commission investigate the armor plate situation before the gov ernment begins construction of an ar nor plate plant, and the Lafollette amendment to prohibit the use of any United States warship in Mexican or South American waters to aid in the collection of money due private citi- zen.
 By vote of IS to IS the Senate .o day rejected an amendment designed to provide that three of the 10 new battle- ships to be constructed in the next three years, should be kept in Pacific coast waters. An effort by Senator Penrose to have communications sub mitted by the Bethlehem Steel conI- pany and in connection with the arnor plate fight printed as public docu- ment also failed. N

The craxed ne- gro then went to the front of the house. where Edward Knox and his wife and Alfred Matthews. all negroes. had ap- peared on their respective porches. Tho same unerring aim killed the two men and gave the woman a serious wound.

Chicago. July 1S.-Henry J. Mcln- tyre, a crazed negro, believing himself prophet who must die to carry a message to the Almighty became vio- lent here today, and the result of his frenzy was a casualty list of six dead and three injured. The negro and his wife were Killed. but only after more than 100 policemen had besieged his residence for more than three hours and had been forced to resort to dyns mite and fire to end the battle.
 MyIntyre, a heavy built negro and very black, had been regarded as queer for years. Sometime during the heat of the July night his mania became acute. He wrote two letters--one on a sheet of wrapping paper and the other on a piece of window shade. They were i'll spelled and rambling. but they made 1t plain. that the negro consiI- cred himself prophet and that he had to diesin order to take his re- port to the Almighty.

FLOOD VICTIMS STARVING

Lower Peachtree, July 1s.-"Un- less aid comes from some direction, we face starvation" was the word sent out from ere today by E. F. Morrissett in an effort to relieve flood victims in the Lower Peach tree section. His message to news papers said:
 Many families, both white and black, are absolutely without food. Negroes who have been without meat for weeks, now are without bread. The waters of the Alabama river have totally ruined all the crops in the bottoms. Some cotton on the uplands is safe. But that is about all. We can stand the crop loss, but we must feed the starving Who will send us help? The situation is indescribable."

his case This means that Colonel Weiss case is in statu quo, so far as the med ical examiners are concerned.
 The examiners were Maj. William l.. Little, United States army surgeon, and Drs. Blue, Rountree and Wilkinson.
 Montgomery, July 1S.-(Special) )-Witll the addition of r new recruits, Battery A of Birmingham, Capt. l.. S. Dor rance, commander, now has the minimum strength required for field service. Most of the new recruits were examined at their home stations, hence they had little difficulty in passing the physical require- ments of the medical officers at the mo- blization camp. Most of the recruits came from Birmingham.
 Recruiting in the various companies at the mobilization camp not yet up to the required minimum strength continues daily, though all the companies are los ing men each day. Many are discharged from the service because of dependant families, others are dismissed because O. physical disa bilities.
 Both the Fourth and First regiments have now the minimum number of men. while the latter has S25 The Second reg iment has not yet reached the minimum strength though new recruits are being received every day.
 Ten thousand dollars worth of army rations were received at the camp today. The provisions were shipped from New Orleans, where the government maintains a supply station.
 There is more than ordinary interest felt in the case of Col. William F. Weiss of the Second regiment who was rejected, last Saturday by the medical officers. Practically every officer at the camp has taken up the cause of Colonel Weiss, and is using his efforts to have the war department retain him in the service.
 In the event Colonel Weiss is not ac- cepted by the war department. there js likely to be, spirited contest waged for commander of the Second regiment. Lieut.. Col Allen Crenshaw of Andalusia is thought to stand the best chance for the promotion, though friends of Major Cralg of Selma, a regular army officer, will use their efforts to secure ms appolnT- ment. First Lieut.. James J. Crow of the Oxford company, Fourth regiment, today resigned. The resignation was approved by Adjt Gen. G. J. Hubbard. and for warded by him to the war department Routine work featured the day in camp.
 Private Goldberg of Montgomery. Con- pany D, Second regiment, was for five hours today tied to the ground, face downward, with his hands stretched out in front of him. He was prisoner of the Second regiment. and it is alleged that he was 'staked"s to the ground because, after refusing to obey the command of the officer in charge of the detachment guarding the soldiers, that he cursed the officer. \
 Colonel Weiss of the Second regiment, would not make a statement regarding the affair tonight, other than to say he will be tried at 10 o'clock Wednesday morning.

The health authorities in New York and nearby cities are making every effort to subdue the spread of infan- tile paralysis. The accompanying pie lures show many of the causes of the disease, and the officials have warned against children playing near garbage heaps. The homeless cat which prowls among these. heaps of dirt is also carrier of the disease.
