Year, Says Taylor
Rear Admiral Tells Senators
Vessels Should Be Ready
in 4 Years; $4,000, 900 Is
Approved for Navy Yards

WASHINGTON. Feb. 18.-All Of the
sixteen capital ships already author
lzed for the navy ~ill be under con-
struction on the ways within a year,
Rear Admiral Taylor, chief of con-
struction. to-day informed the Senate
Naval Affairs Committee during CON
slderation of the naval appropriation
bill.
These ships will be completed within
four years at a maximum from the
time they are started. Admiral Taylor
estimated, in response to questions of
Senator Lodge. He said the ways in
government and private yards had q
capacity of eighteen capital ships.
Discussion of the additional build
ing programme provided in the House
bill, at the request of President vii
son, was deferred The committee,
however, approved appropriations for
improvements to navy yards totalling
$2,8O0,000, which Admiral Taylor said
was necessary to provide for increased
building economically and expeditions
ly. The yards affected, with amounts.
were: New York, S250OOO; Philadcl-

probable disposition of the surren-

marines already had been divided
among France, England and Japan.

Favorable Report
On War Charities
Bill Is Forecast
People Demand Accounting
From All Collectors of
Relief Funds, Bullock
Tells House Committee

WASHINGTON, Feb. 1S.-The House
judiciary Committee held hearing to-
day on the war charities hill q meas
ure to bring under government super
vision all organizations collecting con-
tributions for any form of war relief.
This bill, designed to prevent frauds
upon the patriotic public, was intro
duccd in the Senate last October by
Senator Ashurst. of Arizona, and in the
House by Representative Jerome Don
ovan, Of New York City. 1t was an
nounced tonight that the bill probably
would be reported favorably in few
days.
William Bullock, director of the Good
Government Bureau. Of New York City,
appeared to-day in support Of the bill.
He said Investigations by the American
was the head, show that graft was
widespread, and, while many of the Or
CARNATIONS making large collections for
war charities were honestly and eff
GENTLY conducted many merely were
cloaks for schemers VINO had reaped
millions.
Capitalized Patriotism
twenty-five war charity organiza
tions had approved the measure, he
added, and continued:
"It seems there is one especially
strong and compelling reason for the
enactment of this bill. The war char
ity CRATER has capitalized patriotism.
feel the United States government
ought to stop that. 1t can by this leg
islation.
"Thcse organized corruptionists have
collected funds throughout the length
and breadth of the United States in the
name of patriotism and in the name of
the flag, and then have put those funds
III their own pockets. They have ex-
plotted the soldiers and the sailors,
the war widows and the war orphans.
the hungry and the destitute in the
war stricken areas for their own gain
and profit.
"The argument has been made to me
that those organizations which have
been semi officially or otherwise rccog-
Dlzed by the government should be eX-
cluded from the provisions of this act,
and that, under Ao consi deration,
should they be called upon or required
to file detailed statistics of their ac-
tivities. 1t impresses me that the very
fact that those organizations have been
recognized by the government makes
financial supervision of them proper
and necessary.
Wants All to Report
What government agency is per-
mitted to &c without rendering ac-
count? | see all war charity organiza-
tions equal before the law So far
these organizations, it is estimated,
have collected S3,O0O.0 900 believe
the organizations which have collected
$4,000 100000 on pleas Of patriotism owe
an accounting to the American people.
Moreover, it appears such legsla-
ton is required not only for the work
of war charities in the past and pres
ent, but also for the war charity or
war welfare work that is to continue
Tor many years to come'

Republicans of
Michigan Condemn
League of Nations
Staff Correspondence


LANSING, Mich, Feb. 1S.-The league
of nations was condemned and Amer
ica's first duty was declared to be self
defence against dangers that threaten
at home at the opening of the state
Republican convention here to-day.
This is the first meeting in this state
at which men and women have met on
terms of political equality
Speakers Of both sexes assorted that
the slogan of the party should be
"America First" and condemned Pres
ldent Wilson for pursuing what were
termed practicable ideallstic OBJ
jects"
The opposition to the Wilson admin
lstratlon was the major chord in the
keynote speech delivered by Thomas
Read, speaker Of the state House Of
representatives.
lhe Democratic party has had, since
II went into power in 1912, but one
great object in view, and that was per
petuatlon OF its power" he declared.
"Southern Democrats can look upon the
North with interest only in the matter
or collecting an extra aordinary tax to
oXpend chiefly south of the Mason and
Dixon line"
ne !cdSue OIL nations was condemned
in phrases that the men and women
delegates cheered.
eve have always followed the ad
vice Of our first President, keeping in
mind that the interest of America
should be foremost" Read continued,
1--WE object to becoming an intcrna-
tlonal policeman. We object to placing
our interests secondary to those of apv
IN the world. We see no reason whv
we should assume undue foreign re
sponsibility. We do not believe in in
ternationalism. nor should we listen
to the slren voice Of the theorist, the
Bolshevlst or the Internationalist
until the bulwark OF all we hold dear
is dashed upon the rocks Of foreign
policies"
The threatened fight over n can
didatc for Il place on the state board
Of Agriculture fell fiat when A. J.
Doherty, candidate for reelection
against Mrs. Nora Stockman, withdrew
from tho race.
"The Republican party has promised
10 recognize women" he said. "The
place hold is the only one asked for
by a woman. There being no other
opportunity for placing n woman on
the ticket, | will step out"
