Washington, ID. c., January 15-'
Unanimous day" is a bad day fol-

Representative Ben Johnson, of Ken

sought to have the House consider
a bill permitting the use of school.
houses in the District of Columbia as
community centers or forums. The
House voted 202 to 1872 not to take
up the bill
The House was operating under a
rule which permitted the considera-
ton of any bill on the calendar by
unanimous consent. One lone mem
Der could prevent the consideration OF
any or all of the bills. Johnson was
that one. Like an active young man
at Donnybrook Fair, he hit the head
Of every bill as it came up. His OBJ

The House spent the entire after
noon snuffling through bills. acting OF

of them, diverting itself with a call Of
the House and other novelties, but
getting nowhere. The Kentuckian had
his revenge.

Sells AND MORE THAN
$11,0O0,0O0 IN YEAR

Washington, January 16-Accidents
and bad luck have cost the United
States five naval vessels in the last
year. The loss of the cruiser Mil
waukee has called attention to the
depletion of the navy through acct
dent.
In the last year these vessels have
been lost:
Cruiser Memphis, off Santo Domin-
so, cost S5,S99,639 cruiser Milwaukee,
cost $3,576,ll3; collier Hector, off
Atlantic coast, cost $627,527; subma-
rine H-S, cost s526,76S; submarine
"a, s52O,652; total, $11,147,599.
Official inquiry will be made into the
cause of the wreck of the cruiser Mil
waukee. The fighting value of the
Milwaukee, because of obsolescence
was considerably less than her none
tary value.
