Philadelphia Left Out of Navy
Bill Through Error, Says
Senator-Gets Yard Back
In Items
ALL BOSH, SAYS WARE

WASHINGTON. July 15.-without de-
bate the Senate has restored the Phia-
delphia Navy Yard as one of the four Gov.
ernment yards on. which s6,O0O,O 900 is to be
expended for equipment for battleship
building.
Senator Penrose explained that the Phila-
delpha yard was eliminated from the
House bill by a typographical error" and
no objection was made to it's restoration.
At the same time Senator Penrose had the
ball amended to include Philadelphia
as one of the ports which should be
Investigated by the army and navy officials
and improvements made which would pro-
vide adequate facilities for operation of the
fleet.
This was the first appearance Of Senator
Penrose in the Senate in nearly two months.
He quickly acted upon the protests of work.
men of League Island and the Philadelphia
Chamber of Commerce and had both amend
ments made. This action places Philadel-
pha on an equality with other ports.
Before the Senate reached that section
of the bill Senator Penrose found the rea-
son for the elimination of Philadelphia in
typographical error" He said:
"Slnce returning to Washington. I have
conferred with Senator Henry Cabot Lodge,
of Massachusetts, and he informs me that
there was no intention to drop Philadel-
phia. The newspapers took 1t up and made
a good hullabaloo over it, saying that Phila-
delphia had been eliminated because was
not here to attend meetings of the Naval
Affairs Committee when the bill was being
framed. There is nothing to that"
Senator Edwin II. Ware, when told last
night of Senator Penroses explanation of
the manner in which the Philadelphia Navy
Yard was excluded from the shipbuilding
bill. declared sarcastically:
II don't see where the Typographical
error came in. That does not correspond
with what Senator Poindexter said when
we learned the navy yard here had not
been included with the other ones He
said that 1t was through his being on the
job that Puget Sound was included in the
list, and he said If there had been a rep
resentative of the Philadelphia Navy Yard
there at the time the Senate committee
considered the bill 1t would have been in.
