Secretary Daniels Appeals To
President Wilson To Have
Fields Set Aside
MEASURE NOW PENDING
WOULD BAR GOVERNMENT
Control BY Private interests
Means Return To Coal and
Slower Vessels
ASSOCIATED Press by Federal wirelsss.)


WASHINGTON, May 2O.-Secretary
of the Navy Daniels has appealed to
the President to use his personal in
fuence to save the reserves set aside
in the California oil fields for the use
of the Navy. The preservation of these
reserves for the development of n fuel
supply for the Navy is, says Secretary
Daniels, vital step in the progress to-
wards national defense.
A portion Of these reserved oil lands
has been staked as private claims and
a bill is now before congress legalizing
these claims and alternating them from
the public.
Oil Needed For New Warships
Secretary Daniels declares if this bill
becomes law the Navy loses the valuable
section Of the reserve affected by the
claims, which had been withdrawn
from entry by executive order of Presi-
dent Taft, IL will be necessary for the
Navy to abandon all thought of going
upon an oil fuel basis and to return
to coal as the only available fuel.
The secretary points out that with
all the ships of the navy equipped as
oilburners 1t will be most necessary to
have a large reserve stock of oil and
also tested fields to draw upon. TBS
Navy cannot depend upon private sourc-
es of supply in so vital a matter as
fuel for its fighting ships.
Coal Would Reduce Speed
should the enactment of the bill in
to law become fact and oil as fuel
have to be abandoned for coal, it will
mean a loss Of speed in the ships now
building and planned and will cut
down the present estimated cruisiI &
radius of the various fleets.
The President has taken the bill into
consideration and is studying it in the
light of the SECRETARY representations.
The measure h4s been before the SEN
ate for week now, having been favor
ably reported out of committee.

tAD,ooiatsd Pres, by Federal Wireless,

WASHINGTON, May 2O.-The Dem
Oeratic plan to press the Administra-
tion s Ship Purchase Bill to vote in
the house yesterday, a majority in fav-
or Of il having been promised, was de-
feated by Minority Leader Mann, who
conducted a fllibuster that so delayed
the calling of the roll that the meas.
ure was not put TO a vote before nd.
journment. 1t is probable that the
vote will be forced today, however.
Republicans Take Hand
The debate upon the measure, which
is one of the bills the President is anx-
iOus to have disposed of before the
meeting Of the national conventions,
closed at four O'Clock and the Demo.
Gratis were in expectation of an i'm,
mediate rolleaII. A Republican heuten.
ant of Mann moved an amendment,
however, and insisted on the teller
calling the roll for vote. No sooner
was this completed than another
amendment was presented and again
there was a demand for q rollcall. This
was repeated seven times, until the
patience of the majority was almost ex-
hausted.
Mann Starts Filibuster
Finally a motion to vote upon the
bill was put and carried. It was then
that Mann called into action his final
delaying objection. He insisted that
the reading must be from the engrossed
copy of the bill in its final, amended
form. As he was within his rights and
as the bill was not as yet engrossed, an
adjournment had to be taken to allow
the engrosser time to complete his task.
Whether the filibuster will be re.
sumed in some new form today remains
to be seen. a.,
