ton telegraphed Vice President Thomas

cording to news accounts, that the
"state has no troops, and if the civil

Heavy Increase Made for
Building Programme of
Government i'm Session
on Sundry Civil Bill
Democrats Filibustering
Seek to Protect Wilson
by Delaying Measures
Until He Reaches Home

WASHINGTON, June 27.-Increase in
the shipping board fund from $685.
100000 to $491, 100000 for completion
of the governments authorized ship
building programme was approved by
the Senate with but one dissenting vote
at late session tonight held in an
effort to pass the sundry civil appro-
priation bill.
Democratic Senators are conducting
a mild filibuster in the Senate to pre-
vent final legislative action on all the
big supply bills until after July 1. This
money should be available for the de-
partments July /, but even though Con-
gress finishes it's work the funds can
not be used until the President signs
the bills, and he can't bet them to sign
while on the ocean returning home
SO the Administration Senators are
doing their best to hold up the ap-
preparation measures until Mr.. Wilson
gets back from Paris. If they can do
that the Republicans won't be able to
make any political thunder out of the
Presidents absence, the Democrats be-
lieVe.
Last March Republican Senators fill
bustered against these same bills to
force Mr.. Wilson to call an extra ses-
son.- Now the Democratic Senators,
buser, are using the same tactics to
protect the President. Had the extra
session been called month or six
weeks earlier, the supply measures
would have been no embarrassment
oven lack Of funds. The Senate is
considering the last of the big supply
measures, the sundry civil bill, which
carries appropriations tottalling $72,-
100000. From the turn the bill took
to-day it is not likely to be completed
before Monday night. The Senate
Committee increased the House ap-
preparations $300,000,000, which means
there will be hot conference scrap.
Senator Lodge, the Republican lead
er, has announced that all the bill will
be disposed Of by Congress by mid
night June so. Present Indications
are that this can be accomplished only
the Administration Senators stop their
dllatory tactics.
In addition to the sundry civil bill
there are three others in conference
These are the. army, navy and District
appropriation" measures.
There are three points in controversy
in the army bill, the size of the army
the appropriation for aviation and
funds for buying real estate.
The Senate increased the navy ap-
preparations 100000 900, but there is
no vital difference between the two
Houses on this measure, and early
agreement is expected.
The fight on the District bill, which
fas been drawn out, is aver the ques-
tion Of whether the Federal govern
nent shall supply half the funds for
running the District of Columbia. The
$3.50 plan has been in force some forty
years. fight is made on it each year
In the end the House always has
yielded, but several times it has been
necessary to pass resolutions continu-
ing Old appropriations.

Joint Management
OF Railroads Sure.
Pltlnb's Prophecy
Government, Owners, En-.
ployes Will Control in
Future, He Declares; Says
Strike May Force Plan
Stdft Correspondence

Stdft Correspondence
HIGHLAND, N. Y, June 27-That
an organized attempt on a country
wide scale to prevail upon Congress to
adopt the so-called Plumb plan of rail
way management is now under way
was revealed to-day in an address by
Glenn E. Plumb, originator of the plan
and attorney for the Big Four Railway
brotherhoods, before the conference
of the intercollegiate Socialist society
Mr.. Plumb declared that 5000 900
persons have been enlisted in support
OF the plan, and that next Labor Day
will be marked as "goverpment owner
plan wearing "Plumb plan" buttons.
The plan, in brief, provides for the ad-
ministration Of the railways on the
basis of their actual valuation by a
joint board representing the govern
ment, the railway management and the
employees, the respective members of
the board being named by the respec-
tive agencies.
Mr. Plumb limited also that the rail
way brotherhoods may call general
strike to prevent the return of the rail
""Jo w CuC OiIPdHIcS, UuC expressed
the hope that it will not be necess sary
to invoke walkout to prevent such a
return: Mr.. Plumb pointed out that
both the system of railway regulation
and the present method of government
control have proved inadequate, as far
as the protection of the interests of the
public are concerned, and that, unless
the principle Of greater coordination
of management through public control
and the participation of the railway
employees is adopted, the wave of social
unrest now under way will bring the
nation to revolution.
Mr.. Plumb told of the formation of
"The Plumb Plan League" of which
Samuel Gompers is honorary president
and which is conducting an intensive
propaganda. The league, he said, is
supported by the 10000 locals of the
railway brotherhoods organizations
and thousands of other labor, farmers
social and church organization
throughout the country.

Baby Born in d-Ocean Is
Heroine of the Zeppelin
and Shares Honors With
Heroes of NC Planes
Soldiers Aid in Layette
Georgia Private Tells How
French Maid Married s
Doughboys in Gratitude

Five transports that had been retard-
ed by thick weather came to port yes.
terday in closely punched deet and
put ashore 1917 officers and mem OF
the A. E. F. Despite the drizzle which
prevailed throughout the day the re-
turning fighters hocked to boat decks
OF their respective vessels and sought
other places of vantage unprotected
from the rain and cheered loudly as the
vessels warped into dock. Tho Red
Cross women and the lassies of the Sal.
vation Army were out in full force
with their flags and smiles to greet
the homecoming warriors and yester-
day went on record as one of the big
and busy days in Hoboken.
Observers who attended all the dock
'ings noticed that there was a bigger
display of bunting, a moro enthusias-
tic group of women war workers and
more snappy music on Pier 4 when
the Zeppelin docked than there was
at any pier where returning soldiers
were landed. There was metal more
attractive on the Zeppelin perhaps than
any of the transports because she had
on board the American aviators of the
NC-4 that made the flight from New
foundland to Lisbon.
Baby Born In Mid-Sea
Apart from the delight of bringing
across the victorious naval aviators. the
military passengers and the ships Of
fcers were enthusiastic over the birth
of baby girl when the Zeppelin was
in mid Atlantic.
The newcomer was Violet Clarke
daughter of Sergeant Hugh Clarke
mechanic OF the American aviation
service attached to the French army
Soon after it became known that the
little one had come into the world the
state room of her mother was visited
almost hourly by officers and women
war workers throughout the rest of
the run to port.
Right "off the bat" Ed Foretich, the
ships carpenter, fashioned a cradle and
sent it up to Miss Violet with his COM
pliments, and before the child was
thirty hours old a sewing circle OF
women travellers had provided her with
clothing enough to last her until she
is year old. One Of the contributors
to the wardrobe was Lieutenant Walter
Brenneman, of the s06th Pioneer In
fantry. He had purchased a quantity
of baby clothes for his own child, which
was born in America several months
ago but feeling that Miss Clarke was
in more immediate need, he gave the
entire lot to her.
On the Regina d'Italia. from Naples
and Marseilles, which brought home
1,730 officers and men, came Private
Elliott Brown. of Atlanta, Ga, who
told an unusual story about a French
glrl who married eight American sol
diers out of "gratitude' to America
After getting their money she deserted d
them. She is now in Frnch prison.
The Tigsr. which brought back 2.548
officers and men, had among her units
the l4lst Aero Squadron, in command
of Captain +. L. KindIey, of Gravette.
Ark. He won the D. s. C.. with oak lea f
cluster, the Distinguished Flying Cross
of Britain and the Croix de Guerre. He
is credited officially with having brought
down twelve enemy planes.
The Mobile brought over 5.06S troops,
in command of Colonel Arthur L. Bunt,
of the 55th infantry.

Liquor Dealers, announced to-day he

Upton s, Hang-Out
Of Writers, Is Dry
Auctioneer Disposes Of
All Wetness in Famous
Park R0,p Rendezvous

One more body blow was admins
tered to John Barleycorn yesterday
with the closing of Park Rows most
historic bar.
Promptly at noon an auctioneer,
hammer in hand, bustled into Lipton's,
known to newspaper men the country
over as the rendezvous of the greatest
the last rites that marked its pass
ing.
Only the dealers who follow in the
wake of business failures, fires and,
as in this case, reform waves, wit
messed the passing of Lipton's. To
them the decision of Thomas M. Crow
ley not to fight the inevitable offered
merely an opportunity to pick up a
stock of rare liquor at unheard of
prices.
ButtermiIk to Follow Rye
The doors of the famous cafe, it was
closed until they are opened to make
way for a quick lunch room, where
nothing stronger than buttermilk and
tea will accompany the short orders.
The brass rail that has been polished
by the shoes-sometimes badly worm
of some of the worlds most popular
novelists, already has been purchased
for a song by an enterprising shoe
sinner who will use it before row
of chairs in his shining emporium.
1t was in 1889, during the days when
genius and strong drink so often went
hand in hand, that Dan Donohue
opened the Times Cafe in what then
was the Times Building. Park Row
then was the centre of the newspaper
and publishing business Of America.
Budding young writers talked of their
hopes, and writers who were not so
young smiled knowingly over their
drinks across the mahogany bar.
Famous Writers Drank There
In the little booths that line the
sides of the wall O. Henry and other
writer's whose tales will live long after
Lpton's has become shadowy mem
ory, mapped out their stories. News
paper reporters met there in the small
hours of the morning-for those were
the days when the police never thought
of interfering with the business of a
saloonkecpert boast of their beats
and to plan revenge on their more sue
cessful rivals.
Ten years later Donohue was sue
ceeded by Oscar M. Upton, who or
ganized a company that took over the
cafe. Later Crowley, an intimate of
every man who ever laid claim to be-
ing New York newspaper man, be-
came owner Of the place. He continued
actively to manage the place during
the panicky days of reform and ru-
mors of reform until yesterday, when,
accepting the situation against which
other ssaloonkeepers still are fighting,
he decided not to renew his lease.
