LARGEST q. S. NAVAL APPRO-
PRIATION EVER PRESENTED.
Bill Which VIII Garry Total Of $780,
100000; Secretary Daniels Ex-
presses His Views.

Washington, May 18.-Administra-
ton forces n Congress lost the first
skirmish in the naval preparedness
campaign today when the House Com
mittee broke a fve-day deadlock and
completed the naval appropriation bill
without approving the fVe-year build
ing program advocated by President
Wilson and Secretary Daniels.
AS finally agreed to the bill author
ICES the construction in 1917 of five
battle cruisers ,as against two dread
naughts and two battle cruisers rec
commended by Secretary Daniels, four
scout cruisers, an increase of one over
the Departments program, 10 Destroy
ers as against Is recommended; 20
submarines, three to 8O0-ton boats,
compared with five fleet and 25 coast
defense submersibles recommended;
one hospital ship, one oil fuel and one
ammunition ship. The gunboat rec
commended was stricken out and the
fuel and ammunition chips were added
from Secretary Daniels program for
the second year.
The total amount carried by the bill
is $24O,O 0 900; the largest naval ap>
preparations eve presented to Con-
gross.
While the appropriation is, if any
thing, an increase over the Depart
ment's plans, failure of the five year
program and the fact that no dread
naughts were provided for, make the
bill unsatisfactory to administration
officials. Secretary Daniels said to-
night he never lost hope of getting
what he asked for until Congress ad-
iourned.
1t was clearly indicated that the
Senate which has not yet taken up con
cideration of the naval bill ven in
committee was relied upon to restore
the battleships. The Senate has never
failed to increase the program for the
navy mapped out by the House, and
navy officials ar confident that the final
bill provide for at least two battle
ships and four battle cruisers.
Chairman Padgett was compelled to
abandon the five year project and
forced to accept a provision proposed
by Representative Hensley authorizing
the President to call a conference of
world Powers at the conclusion of the
European war to draw plans for an in
ternational peace tribunal. An ap-
preparation Of $780, 900 for this purpose
is carried in the section, which was
adopted unanimously, and it would au-
thorize the President to appoint nine
citizens distinguished as lawyers and
peace advocates to represent the Uni
ted States.

| 500 Bakeries Closed
by Prices Since August
ny telegraph 10 The Tribune

Chicago. Nov. l6.-More than 800
bakeries have been closed throughout
the United States since August | and
others are daily going out of business
as the result of the soaring prices of
grain, -four and other food commodities
used in the baking business.
This announcement was made to-day
by j. NJ. Bell, general secretary OF the
National Association of Master Bakers
of America, on his return to Chicago
from a meeting of the executive board
of the association held in Memphis,
Tenn, at which the high cost of living
was the topic. In discussing the atti-
tude of the National Association of
Master Bakers and of other organiza-
tions of dealers in food commodities,
Mr. Bell pointed out that serious
crisis exists, and that immediate steps
are necessary TO relieve conditions both
in the interest of the consumer and the
business men Of the country.
"The eyes Of the business men are
being opened because of the soaring
prices in food commodities, and the in
quiries made have brought forth some
startling facts" said Mr.. Bell. while
the consumer bears the heavy burden,
the fact is now known in business
circles that present conditions are put
ting a large number of establishments
dealing in food commodities out of
business.

OLD LEGISLATIVE
CHIEFS TO STAY
Little Opposition to Brown
or Sweet-ElectiOn Law
Coming Up

Republican state leaders who are
planning for the next session Of the
Legislature have on their minds three
,pportionments, several proposed
amendments 20 the election law and the
recognizing of the Senate and Assem-
bly,.
1t was suggested Immediately after
election that there might be fight
against the continued leadership OF
Elon r. Brown in the Senate. but what
ever fighting spirit arose then has been
soothed since. State Chairman Tanner
said Yesterday that no formidable OPP
position 10 Senator Brown was expect
ed. It is also believed that Speaker
Sweet will have no difficulty retaining
his leadership in the lower house.
The apportionment schemes offer DIM
culties. The last Legislative apportion-
ment was thrown out by the state
courts. Resides the new apportionmen,
that is contemplated in its stead there
are also planned an aldermanic redis-
tribution and probably new layout OF

Dillon Lays High Prices
to Faulty Distribution

John J. Dillon, State Commissioners
of Foods and Markets. in speaking at
a luncheon of the Bronx Board OF
Trade, yesterday, in Ebling's Casino,
St. AIMS Avenue and 156th Street, de-
cared that the present high cost OF
living in New York was due in large
measure to faulty system of distribu-
tion.
"The system of distribution to-day
is the same that we had when New
York was a small village. Foodstufs
are carried to outlying districts IN
wagons. We do not utilize the cheap
est and easiest means of circulation
the waterways which surround the
city.
"As long az people are willing to
pay high prices merchants will charge
them. Eggs which were put in cold
storage last spring at 90 cents dozen,
and which should be delivered to the
table at not more than 80 cents. cost
in the neigh borhood of 90 cents. Half
the places selling storage goods do
not display sign announcing the fact
and a quarter of them keep the sign
hanging around a corner. We must
give the producer his due and not per
nit the merchant TO have all the Droht.
1T is to the interest Of the people
Of this town to pay the farmer enough
TO produce his goods and to interest
his children in remaining on the farm,
but. first of all. we must have eih-
cheney in distribution

ton of foods,

Restrict Light and Heat,
Appeal to All France

Paris, Nov. 16-The Minister of the
Interior, Louis Malvy, has instructed
the Projects of every department in
France to appeal. in cooperation with
the Mayors of the communes, 70 the
people TO reduce "a far as possible
the lighting Of their homes and bust
ness establishments.
Bills posted throughout Paris signed
by the officials invite every house
holder to restrict both heating and
lighting. The poster concludes:
ut is hoped that these demands will
be manfully accepted in view of the
need OF seconding the efforts of our
soldiers in the trenches. It is the
duty of the people in the rear to add
to the force of the armies. The whole

Cold Snap Here Fails
to Increase Coal Price

Despite the cold wave. which was
expected to renew the coal price in
crease in this city. it remained practi-
cally unchanged yesterday. Local re
tail dealers and the middlemen eX-
pressed a belief that price and supply
would revert TO normal within five or
six weeks.
Federal and municipal Investigators
who have kept in touch with the stu
alton through their daily inquiries were
confident that the possibilities OF .
coal famine and the consequent estab
lishment of prohibitive purchase
price had waned.
A representative of "The Coal Trade
Journal" who had been making an in
vestigation of the coal situation, de-
clared that the greater city would have
an abundance of fuel within three or
four weeks.
Joseph Hartigan, Commissioner Of
Weights and Measures. rounded up
forty-two coal dealers during the last
ten days and charged them with Civ
ing short weight in the coal deliveries.
Inspectors on the Commissioners
staff stopped hundreds of coal wagons
IN various parts of the greater city
and IN forty-two instances found con-
signments that were from 90 to 500
pounds short in weight The cases
were turned over 20 the Corporation
