BQNC-DRY AMENDMENT
NOW UP TO PRESIDENT
Postal Bill With Reed Rider
Passes Senate.

Washington, March 2.-Approval of
the conference report on the $3.50, ,O00.-
900 postoffice appropriation bill with
Its "bone-dry" amendment forbidding
the shipment of liquor into prohibi-
tion states was voted late today by
the senate without rollcall. 1t was
agreed to by the house last night and
now goes to the president for his sig
nature.
President Wilson is expected by
practically all his closest advisers to
sign the measure. He will not act on
it until tomorrow or Sunday.
In some quarters, however. the be-
lief persisted that the measure might
be vetoed and prohibition champions
prepared to send petitions to the
White House. Although the appropri-
ations carried in the bill are for the
fiscal year beginning in July. the
bone dry" amendment becomes effec-
tive Immediately upon the attaching
of the presidents signature.

Guns, Mounts and Ammuni,
ton Ready at Navy Yards
for Presidents Order.
THREE TO FIVE DAYS
TO ARM EACH VESSEL
Ships Will Be Armed as They
Apply-Tw0 or More Guns
for Submarines.

Washington. March with guns,
mounts and ammunition for arming
American merchant ships already as
sembled at navy yards, putting tho
weapons aboard can begin immedi.
ately on orders from President vii.
son. Navy officials estimate that 1t
would take from three to five days pcr
ship, working under pressure. to equip
vessels previously surveyed for pos
sible use as naval auxiliaries. A longer
time will be required for others. Every
important Atlantic coast navy yard is
ready to undertake work on ships in
Its district on telegraphic instructions
from the department. 1t ia expected
that upon President Wilson's formal
direction that application of American
ships for guns will be complied with.
the commandants OF navy yards would
be instructed specifically to equip
each ship for which application IL
made Aside from n blanket applica.
ton from the American line covering
all It's ships. the navy department now
has only requests for guns for few
individual vessels.
First Sailers First Armed.
The work probably would be done Mt
navy yards in order that machinery
for handling heavy weights quickly
could be used.
Merchant craft would be sent To tho
yard IN turn as their applications are
approved. Ships first scheduled to
sail would be the first to be armed.
Under the senate bill, full complc-
ment OF guns may be placed on board
each ship. Tho big liners would carry
six G-inch guns each for war purposes
and probably would carry two or more
for defense against submarines. Most
OF them have deck emplncements al
ready In and structural work would be
necessary only to fit proper magazines
to insure against fire and explosion.
Where a steamers decks are not
strong enough to carry the weight OF a
gun. new bracing would be necessary,
a G-inch. 5o-caliher naval gun weighs
nearly 10000 pounds without its
mount, while n 3-inch weapon weighs
about $500.
The question Of providing gun crews
would be taken up for each ship sep
arately. II former gunnera with good
records as marksmcn are available
they will be employed. II not enlisted
crews from the navy yard or reserve
warships will be assigned to man tho
guns. The department is anxious TO
avoid weakening the strength of Its
fighting line in gunncrs.
II is possible that machine guns
would be placed aboard merchant
ships as well as the big rifles. Re-
ports from Great Britain say that ma
chino gun fire against submarines has
been found exceedingly effective.

Goes to Conference After
Wrangle Between Houses
on Bond Issue.
$3.50, 600, 900 BOND
ISSUE is UP TO-DAY
Congress Agreed That Mon.
ey to Rush Building
Will BE Voted.

Washington. March 2-Congress fl
nally cleared the way for final enact
ment of the $535,0OO, 900 naval appro-
priation bill tonight after straighten-
Ing out n controversy between the two
houses, which for time threatened TO
kill the measure and force an extra
session.
Wranoie Over Bonds.
The trouble was over the refusal of
the house to accept an amendment by
the senate authorizing a bond issue of
$l5O.OOO,OO0 to meet added expenses
provided for in the bill as it passed
the senate late this afternoon. The
house leaders. pointing out that rev.
enne legislation could originate only
in the house promptly passed a reso-
lution to thin effect and sent it over
to the senate.
After hurried conferences between
Democratic and Republican leaders
and fearful that to reopen debate on
the bill would mean its failure, the
senate without roll call re passed
the measure with the bond issue. pro-
vision eliminated. AT the last moment
Senator Jones succeeded in attaching
an amendment striking out the clause
making it a crime for ship building
and other industrial concerns to re-
fuse to surrender their plants to the
government in time of war or other
proclaimed emergency.
Will vote Bonds.
Meantime it was agreed that both
houses should put through a joint res
olution originating in the house au-
thorizing the $15O,000.O0o bond issue
OF this money. $1l5,0OO.0Oo is to be
used In rushing to completion vessels
now under construction and $4,000
900 is for so additional submarines
provided for by senate amendments.
Late tonight the house formally dis
agreed to all senate amendments and
sent the measure to conference. The
action was regarded, however, as
largely perfunctory. for with the off
ference over the bond issue cleared
away. 1t appeared there was little
doubt of a final agreement on other
details.

stones Amendment.
In Offering the amendment to the bill
Senator Stone disclaimed entirely any
personal responsibility for the commit
tees measure.
The amendment follows:
Provided that nothing herein shall
authorize tho president to employ or
direct any person to manage or opcr-
ate any arms placed on any merchant
ship by the United States as herein
authorized; and
Provided further, that 1t shall be
lawful for any merchant ship supplied
by the president with arms as herein
provided to carry or convoy as a part
of her cargo any munitions or other
supplies destined for delivery to the
armed forces of belligcrent nation

peace: and.
Provided further, that it shall not
be lawful for any merchant ship which
may be under the convoy or infpe-
diate protection of any public vessel
voy as a part OF her cargo. any NUM-
| tions. or other supplies of war destined
for delivery to tho armed forces OF n
belligerent nation engaged In war with
another nation, with which the United
| States is at peace.
Senator stone said he would outline
his views on the amendments later. but
would cooperate in Fastening the bill
to final passage.
Senator Hitchcock's first move was
to obtain unanimous consent to have
the foreign relations committee re-
lieved from further consideration Of
the house bill so that when the senate
is ready to vote the senate meAsurc
can be substituted. Senate and ad-
ministration leaders believe the house
then will accept the senate bill In con-
ference.
Senator Works asked why the bill
did not give the president authority to
protect Americans on vessels of other
nations. Because he has ample gen.
eral constitutional power to protect
American citizens" Senator Lodge an
swered. And if he needs further au :
thority from congress he has only to
