BIG SUM FOR

Minority Increases Flying Ma

DEMOCRATS PASS ITEM FOR

The Republicans in the House, aided
by score OF Democrats, followed up
their submarine quota victory Of Tues
day by increasing the appropriation for
aeronautics IN the naval bill from
s., ,0o0, 900 to s3,5Oo,O0O yesterday.
Their efforts to prevent an adoption Of
an amendment, providing for the con-
struction Of a government armor plate
factory, failed.
The minority was also unsuccessful in
attempting to enlarge the provisions for
the enlisted personnel OF the navy, but
and amendment offered by the chairman
Of the Naval Affairs Committee, adding
Z7ao men to- the bill, was adopted
The fight yesterday over the naval bill
centered about the arTnor plate provision,
which has already passed the Senate Its
adoption by the House practically in
sures its inclusion in the naval bill. y
Republicans attacked the armor plate
proposal as impractcable. Members Of
the Pennsylvania delegation asserted that
IL was a blow aimed at private industry
Democratic members held that the gov
ernment was at the mercy Of the armor
plate manufacturers.
The fight centered upon a substitute
plan offered by Representative Butler, Of
Pennsylvania, providing that the cost Of
making armor at the private plants be
determined by the Federal Trade Com
mission. The Butler amendment was de-
feated.
The amendment providing for the in.
crease OF the aeronautics appropriation
was offered by Representative Roberts,
of Massachusetts.

T. R. MEN ATTACK BOOM
(By the Sun News Service

Chicago, May Sl-The situation on the
eve Of the meeting OF the Republican
national committee is:
Associate Justice Charles E. Hughes, Of
the United States Supreme Court ap-
parently leads the field for the Republi-
can nomination
Col Rooseveit's Meutenants and the
ten so-called favorite sons are making
a common cause against the Hughes
movement
Col Roosevelts managers realize that
until Hughes is eliminated the Colonel
cannot hope TO make any substantial
headway toward securing the Repubu-
can nomination The favorite sons are in
exactly the same boat. Hence both
have trained their guns on the jurist
They are working in q common effort TO
force Hughes into making a statement in
regard to his views, OF at least repudlat-
ing the efforts that are now being put
forth to get delegates for him.
In other words Col Roosevelt's hackers
and the other candidates have determined
that Hughes must be smoked out" and
the process is going merrily on.
Effort Likely to Fail.
The Sun News Service correspondent
has excellent ground for predicting that
this effort will fail Mr.. Hughes will not
make any statement of his views. II
his nomination for President is to de-
pend solely upon such an expression by
him. it will not be forthcoming. Nor
will any statement be forced from Justice
Hughes erecting an insurnountable
barrier against his being named.
Definite information has reached Chi
cago that Justice Hughes attitude now
is Just what it has been ever since his
name was first proposed; that he is not
a candidate for the nomination. and that
he Is not saying whether or not he would
accept If the honor came 10 him. While
the justice himself is retraining from
making any direct statement his friends
are satisfied he would accept such a
call to duty.
The efforts Of the Roosevelt people
and OF the favorite son group to elbow
Hughes out OF the running because very
apparent today. One story after another
was put in circulation, all OF them
designed to puncture Hughes boom, and
all Of them being traceable TO Roosevelt
followers, or to the camps Of the So
called State favorites.

New York, May 3I.-Prince
Ka-Ku-Ka-La-Ni, who has
three or four islands in the
Malay Archipelago, ten or
twelve thatched-roofed palaces,
a herd of hairless goats and
seventeen wives, has come to
this country to study the fash
ions and to learn to be
ladies tailor.
The reason for this was
mutiny in his harem shortly
after missionary appeared
in the Kings domains about
three years ago and exhibited
a directoire gown.
Before that time the princes
seventeen wives had worn only
gowns that might have been
supplied by the royal goats.
But with the coming Of civili-
zation in the shape of a di-
rectoire gown, they told the
prince they would get a di-
vorce unless he would clothe
them so they could promo
made on Malay's broadway
without being ashamed of
their clothing. He told his
mournful tale at the fashion
show today.
