HUGE NAVAL ORDNANCE
CONTRACTS CANCELLED
:

Naval ordnance contracts amount
ing to s421.35s, 900 have been Cancelled
since hostilities ceased, Admiral Earle,
chief of the naval ordnance bureau.
told the House naval committee today.
when it began framing the 1920 naval
appropriation bill.
These cancellations amount to
about one-half of the total appropria-
tions that Congress has given the ord
nance bureau since the war began"
declared Admiral Earle.
That's good" commented Repre-
sentative Butler of Pennsylvania,
ranking republican member of the
committee, who is expected to head
the naval committee when the repub-
Gcans assume control of the next
Congress.
Reduction of several estimates and
the elimination Of few others in the
new naval bill also prompted the
praise of committee members, while
an estimate for $53.000.O00 for ord
nance and ordnance stores. and an
other estimate of $2.50O.000 for pow
der manufacture at the Indian Head
plant caused Mr.. Butler to criticise
the estimates as too large for peace
time.

Senate Committee DiscIoses
Purchase of Montgomery,
Ala, Daily.

At the opening hearing today be-
fore the Senate judiciary subcommft-
tee on the purchase of the Washing
funds furnished by party of brew
ers, it was shown that funds also
were furnished through the same
source for the purchase of the Mont
gomery (A1a.) Advertiser. Documents
showing that brewers signed col
lateral security to Philadelphia bank
to the extent of 100000, the pur-
chase having been negotiated by
Charles H. Allen and William D. Shee-
han. were read into the record.
Among the signers of the security
were August Busch. the F. w. Cook
Brewing Company, C. W. Feigenspan
of Newark, n. j., and others. Mr.
Feigenspan. who furnished the money
for the Washington Times, identified
all of the underwriters as brewers.
Mr.. Feigenspan was one of the first
witnesses.
Mr.. Feigenspan said that Edward A.
Schmidt, a brewer of Philadelphia,
asked him to sign the security for the
purchase of the Advertiser, but he
himself had more to do with the loan
to Mr.. Brisbane.
Il am inclined to think that it came
through Mr.. Brisbane's solicitation
he said. adding that the counsel for
the United States Brewing Associa-
tion. in Washington. may have sug-
Gested the loan. He has known Mr.
Brisbane for two or three years, he
said.
In addition to aiding in the finan-
cling of the Washington Times and
Montgomery Advertiser, the witness
said. he has contributed personally
