MANN THREATENS
ADMINISTRATION
BIC NAVY SCHEME
Democratic Leaders to Ask
Aid of Rules Committee to
Save Program From Being
Denied Appropriation.

Washington, Feb. 0.-Administra-
tion leaders tomorrow will ask the
aid of the house rules committee in an
effort to prevent the naval eXpan-
sion program from being eliminated
from the annual naval appropriation
bill on points of order raised today
by Republican Leader Mann and sus-
tanned by Representative Garrett of
Tennessee, democrat, who was pre-
siding.
Representative Mann contended
that the authorization of ten super
dreadnaughtS and ten scout cruisers
was legislation which could not pro-
perly be carried in an appropriation
measure. When this point had been
sustained, Chairman Padgett of the
naval committee sought to save the
program by offering an amendment
appropriating S5,000,000 for new ship
construction.
This amendment was ruled out on
a point of order made by Mr.. Mann,
and Mr.. Padgett then proposed an
amendment appropriating $2,00O,0O0
for the ten battleships. Opponents
of the naval expansion policy made
no effort to press their advantage
and after an hours debate, on the
$2,000,000 amendment, the house ad-
Journed with the points of order still
pending.
During the discussion Chairman
Pou of the rules committee, conferred
with Mr.. PadgCtt and Immediately
afterward sent out a call for meet
ing of the rules committee tomorrow
Uncertainty of the attitude of the
members of the committee was said
to have been responsible for the de-
cision to hold the meeting tomorrow,
instead of pressing an immediate ses-
sion.
Speaking on the Padgett amend
ment, Representative Keating of
Colorado, democrat, urged the adop-
ton of the naval expansion program,
saying that ''posterity will view with
surprise the heckling of President
Wilson and the efforts to embarrass
him."
Mr. Keating said the president rep
resented all the people and not any
party and that congress should sup
port his work at the peace confer
ence by approving the new building
program which he recommended.
Opposition to the program was
voiced by Representatives. Saunders
of Virginia and Currie of Michigan.
Mr.. Currie said that unless the presi-
dent feared war with England, his
action in urging the program was a
mean and contemplate bluff to gain
power at the peace table," Mr. Saun-
ders read the testimony of Secretary
Daniels before the house committee
in 1915, in which he quoted him as
saying it was mot necessary to have
navy as big as England"

of delegates from all of 1870 local

Much Confusion.
Members of the various unions were
thrown into confusion by this request
and II was considered uncertain
whether 1t could be generally OBJ
served, due to the lack of time for
