at the station has been a lack of change
with which to do business, although
this was obviated yesterday, to a large
extent. by Supt. Beall going down in

ment and advancing the necessary cash
with which to begin business, SO far as
the making of change is concerned.

day. does not set his postmasters up in
business with any cash capital The
new station was granted a credit of
$4,000 worth of stamped paper of one
kind and another to begin work; but as
there was no cash on hand at the start
with which to make change, Supt Beall
was obliged to supply II himself. and
lent his clerks $50 worth of small
change, so that no customer might be
turned away from the door. AS the re-
ceipts grew larger during yesterday
and today this difficulty disappeared.
and now the station has plenty of
money OF it's own to meet necessary re-
ouirements of change.

Representative Bu- Chanan objected to Chairman Pad getts request for appointment of COnferees under unanimous consent. Senate conferees already have been named.
 Whether President Wilson's innu- ence will be sufficient to put through the big senate program, carrying pro- vision for immediate construction of four dreadnOughts nd four battle cruis- CTS, and a three year continuing build ing program, is uncertain. During the discussion in the house today several representatives sought to have the house conferees bound on certain amendments. but Chairman Padgett In- sisted that they be left free to smooth out differences in the house and sen- ate measure at their discretion.
