Congressman Ben johnson And r.. Y.
Thomas Vote Against NOn-par-
tisan Measure.

Washington, Aug. 15.-"Little
Navy" Congressman were able to
marshal only 81 votes against the
recordbreaking building programme
of the Senate, and the House to-day
voted to accept the sixteen ships I'm
three years. plan. Congressman

bered 2S3, while seven members
voted present. Representatives Ben
johnson and r. Y. Thomas, Jr., vot-
ed against the Senate programme,
while Representatives Swager Sher-
ley, A. B. Rouse, Alben w. Barkley.
David H. Kincheloe and John w.
Langley voted for it. The other
Kentuckians were absent.
Congress thus virtually completed
the national defense programme by
finally approving the great increas-
es in naval construction and person
pei written. into the Naval Bill and
urgently supported by the Adminis-
tration.
The personnel and construction
sections, which already have the APP
prevail of the Senate, authorizes an
increase in enlisted men to 400
and the building of 157 war vessels
within the next three years, with
four battle cruisers and four battle
shipsssincluded among the ships for.
1917. Previously the House had re-
fused to adopt a continuing building
programme, had authorized only FIVE
capital ships, all of them battle -eruis-
ers, and had provided for a personnel
of only $4,000.
Second Largest Navy.
On several less important sections,
including appropriations for improve
ment of navy yards, the House in
sisted on it's disagreement to Senate
increases and voted to send the bill
back to conference for settlement of
these points. An early agreement is
expected, however, and the measure
may be sent to the President Tor MS
signature within a week.
Secretary Daniels issued state
ment tonight pointing out that the
building authorizations in the bill
were the greatest ever passed in any
country and would give the United
States, in the opinion of naval au-
thorities, the second largest navy in
the world. He declared the measure
$50 complete and nearly perfect that
it will stand as a model for all navy
bills for future legislators
Vote on Measure.
The vote by which the House ac-
cepted the Senate increase in the
building programme was non-parti-
san, the majority of both Democrats
and Republicans voting in the affirm
alive. OF the fifty-one members who
voted in the negative there were thir-
ty-five Democrats, fifteen Republic
cans and one Socialist.

however, that the railway situation

LY UNRAVELED.

New York, August 13.--The tan
gledsskein of a romance that caused
one person to commit suicide, re-
suited in two elopements by the
principals while both were still mar
ried, and which finally led the man
in the case through the divorce court
to the altar, has been unravelled in
Boston where Mrs. Elinor Hoyt HIGH
born was married to Horace Wylie.
The news did not reach the public
until today coming as the climax
of series of sensational incidents
that began in 1910 when Mrs. HIGH
born, the wife of Philip S. HIGH
born, and one of the most prominent
matrons in Washington society, elop-
ed with Wylie, twenty years her SEN
ior, and fled to France. She left be-
hind her little boy, about l year old.
Wylie deserted his wife and four
children.
Wylie had known the woman who
is now his wife before she was mar
ried to Philip S. Hichborn, son of
the late Philip s. Hichborn, chief
naval constructor of the United
States navy. He was friend of the
family and had seen her grow from
childhood to be one of the bellies in
capital society. After her marriage
he became a frequent caller at the
Hichborn home. and their friendship
ripened into affection.
On December 16, 1910, Wylie van

court OPINION GIVES
VITALITY TO drug ACT
Decision Means that Misstatements as
to Curative Properties of Medi-
cines Are Law Violations.

Justice Hughes delivered an opinion
yesterday representing the unanimous
view Of the Supreme Court giving vital
Ity to the Food and Drugs act The
opinion upholds the validity Of the Sher-
ley amendment passed in August, 1912.
The legislation followed upon the de-
cision of the court in the Doctor John
government lost its suit.
In that case Justice Day construed
the Food and Drugs Act as 1t then read,
before the Sherley amendment was pass
ed, as being applicable only to misstate-
ments as to the ingredients In a cure
or medicine. Allegations or mIsstate-
ments as to the therapeutic or curative
properties OF the mixture were then held
to be not false or fraudulent represen-
tations within the meaning of the Food
and Drugs Act such as would permit
libel.
Congress then passed the sherley
amendment intended to cure this defect
The case before the court yesterday was
the first that has come to the Supreme
Court under the Sherley amendment and
involved the validity of that enactment
which the court upheld. The Sherley
amendment under review holds that a
shipment shall be held to be misbranded
within the meaning of the act: 'ff its
package or label shall bear or contain
any statement, design or device regard
ing the curative or thera peutic effect of
such article or any ingredients or sub
stances contained therein, which is false
and fraudulent"
The libel which precipitated the pres
ent case arose in December, 1912, when
the Eckman Manufacturing Company, of
Chicago, shipped to Omaha, Neb., GER
tain packages of bottles of "Eckman's
Alternative" The bottles were accompan-
led by a circular which described the
remedy as follows: Effective as a pre-
ventative for pneumonia"

his activities on Saturday, reducing his

received Sunday, and he was ready to
begin his flights at II o'clock. But the
rain of the forenoon. which made the
streets sloppy and filed the air with
a steady drizzle, made it necessary to
put of his exhibitions.
His program has been altered some
what Instead OF three flights of fifteen
or twenty minutes duration each, he
will, beginning today, (the weather per-
mitting) give one flight each for two
days, ascending from his station in the
