Navy Submarines Not
Satisfactory, Says Daniels
Tells House Committee of New
Dispute Over Contract;
Urges More Ships

WASHINGTON, Dec. 16-Secretary
Daniels declared to-day before House
appropriations -committee that the
American ravy's submarines never had
been entirely satisfactory during bis
administration. More difficulties have
been experienced in tho construction Of
submarines, the Secretary added, than
in the building Of any other type Of
vessel.
The statement was made at hear-
ing during which the Secretary urged
authorization for new construction to
round out the feet built or now build
ing, consisting Of FIVE 10,0OC-tor light
cruisers, four gunboats, five mine lay
ing submarines, two cruiser submarin es
and one airplane carrier. The Secre-
tary added that he woud not now ask
more, although he had given tentative
approval 20 the general boards recon-
mendation for new three-year build
ing program which would provide for
major craft.
Mr.. Daniels in later amplifying his
statement with newspaper men tonight
on submarine construction said his de-
partmeEt was engaged in a dispute
with the Electric Boat Company, of
Groton, Conn, over accepting thirty
one big submers;o of the IS" type.
The submarines have developed de-
fects that make their acceptance by
the Navy Department. in their present
condition impossible He said reple-
sentatives of the company will appear
at the Navy Department tomorrow

The necessity for "rat-proofing" all

Considerable opposition to the rule
in its present form developed at The
hearing from the Real Estate Board,
the Real Estate Managers Association
and other real estate interests. No &C.
tion was taken in the matter, and John
P. Leo, chairman Of the Board Of APP
peals. said another public hearing
would be held early in January.
Copeland Fears Plague Menace
DR.. Royal S. Copeland, Health Com
missioner, appeared before the board
yesterday and urged the adoption Of
the rule lie declared the menace from
bubonic plague III this country was
never more threatening than at the
present time, owing to the plague in
tested countries Of southern Europe,
as we'll as the recent outbreak of the
disease in Galveston, Houston, Beau
mont. Texas, and Pensacola, Fla. The
fact that the. plague first appeared in
Galveston, where there are thirty cases
at the present time, and has spread
along TIE coast eastward to Pensacola,
where q few cases have been reported
recently, indicates that the plague
wave is headed this way, according to
the health Department officials.

Dingley Features Urged
House Banking Committee
Votes, Z to 6, to Revise
War Finance Corporation

WASHINGTON, Dec. l6.-Mcmbers
Of the Senate Finance and The House
Ways and Means committees will meet
in joint conference tomorrow to for
muate an emergency program Of tariff
legislation to act as an embargo and
to give relief to the farmers from the
decline in prices.
The decision to hold the conference
was reached late to-day by Republican
members OF the two committees, who
egreed that speedy action was neces-
sary. They determined also to make
the program non-poltical, If the mi
nority members would cooperate.
Primary consideration will be given
on the program to import duties on
wheat and wool the producers OF which
Chairman Fordney, Of the Ways and
Means Committee, said were now prac-
tically broke as the result of falling
prices. The portion of the program re-
lating to the tariff was declared, how
sver to be more comprehensive and to
include consideration of protective
levies on scores Of other commodities
A possibility Of the conference decid-
ing to wipe out the free list of the
Underwood Tariff Act was voiced.
Protect Wheat and Wool
Resnactment Of portions OF the Ding
ley tariff also was being talked of
among the more ardent high tariff sup
porters. MIR. Fordney, however. said he
was in favor of rushing through the
emergency protection for wheat and
wool and few other commodities and
letting other tariff matters so over for
hearings and further consideration
Clamor for relief legislation of tariff
nature with duties so high that they
would serve practically as an embargo
may be too strong a tide to be halted
conservative supporters of the program
contended.
One of the forces in the House seek
ing relief for the farmers solidi4ied
itself to-day into a compact body
which, its leaders declared, would be
continued as Congressional organi-
zation. Republican and Democratic
members from the agricultural districts
New-York tribune., 1920-12-17

began consideration of definite policy
for dcalirg with pending relief iegis-
lation, and q report will be prepared
by special committee for presenta-
ton to the full conference next Mon
day
While these two movements dealing
with farmer and business relief leeis-
lation were in progress, the House
Banking and Currency Committee
voted TO report favorahly the Senate
resolution directing revival OF the War
Finance Corporation to assist IN
financing the expectation of agricul-
tural and other products. The House
committee struck out the clause de-
claring 1t the opinion Of Congress that
the Federal Reserve Board take action
to permit its member banks to grant
liberal extensions Of credit to farmers
Vote Was Seven to Six
The vote in the House committee wa
to 6, members from the South and
West supporting the resolution, with
those from the East and New Enala
opposing it. Chairman McFadden was
one of those opposing the resolution.
Action Of the committee was the re-
suit of an all day session, at which
Secretary Houston advised against re.
viva' of the War Finance Corporation
on the ground that such policy would
be 6scally uLsound, and Eugene Meyer

that the concrete flooring shall be COW

According to the real estate men
these reconstructive requirements
would involve a large expense on ex-
isting buildings and would be a great
hardship to the owners. They asked

amendments or further suggestions
Chairman Leo adjourned the hearing

Would Rid City Of Rats
Dr.. Copeland declared yesterday 1t
was his opinion that the cost Of rein
forcing the foundations of buildings to
guard against the pests would be offset
by the property saved which the rats
destroy. To rid the waterfront Of the
rode.nta would mean gradual Riding
Of the entire city of rats. The theory,
based on governmental statistics, is
that there is one rat for every human
person in this city, as well as in other
parts of the country. That means that
New York accommodates about 6,000,-
600 rats. The government authorities
estimate that each rat destroys $3.50
worth Of property each year.

North Dakota Rail Tds
Held UncOnstitrltiOu,,l

WASHINGTON, May 3.-The North
Dakota tax act of 1919, in so far as it
imposes an excise tax on the stocks
and bonds of interstate railroads
operating within the state, was de-
clared unconstitutional to-day by the
Supreme Court.
Injunctions restraining the imposi-
tion of taxes under the act against
various railroads were sustained The
statute was attacked in proceedings in
stituted by five carriers who contended
that it imposed taxes upon their prop
erty located outside the state in viola
tion OF the Constitution. The rail
roads involved were the No~thern Pa
cific, Great Northern. Chicago, Mil
waukee & St. Paul; Minneapolis. St.
Paul G. Sault Ste. Marie, and the Mon
tana Eastern Railroad companies as
we'll as the Farmers Grain and Ship
ping Company.
Justice Holmes, in rendering the
opinion, said the mode of making as
sessments under the act is "indefensi-
bic" and added:
'"The only reason for allowing a state
to look beyond its borders when it
taxes is that it may get the true value
of the things within it when they are
part of an organic system of wide ex-
tent, that gives them value above
what they otherwise would possess.
The purpose is not to expose the heel
of the system to a mortal dart-not, in
other words, to open to taxation what
