Appropriation
Bill Is Held Up
By Disarmament
Representative Kelly Brings
Forward Proposal to Com
plete 1916 Naval Build
ing Program.

Washington, April 25.--Disarm-
ament discussion sidetracked con-
sideration of the naval appropriation
bill in the house today when Repre-
sentative Kelly, republican, Michi-
gan, brought forward the committee
proposals to provide S396,000,0O0 for
the navy's next fiscal year of which
$90,000,000 would be used toward
completion of the 1916 building pro-
gram. The expansion program, kel-
ley asserted, would help "to lift the
load now on. the shoulders of the
world for armament construction and
maintenance"
"When these ships we are build
ing have been completed" he said,
"the United States will equal in sea
power any nation in the world and
will be in a position to offer pro-
portionate reduction in armament"
Burton Favors Plan.
Theodore Burton, republican OF
Ohio, former senator, supported the
committee spokesman in his declara-
ton for an adequate navy and also
urged that these be the nucleus of a
large army for the United States. He
declared, however, that the time
has come for an international con-
ference for the sake of stopping this
maddening competition for the con-
struction of armadas."
This view was endorsed by Repre-
sentative Byrnes, democrat, South
Carolina, who turning to taxation
features involved in military pro-
grams said congress this year would
appropriate $5,500,000,000, or $50 a
head for each citizen of the United
States.

duced a resolution to authorize the
president in view of dreadful eco
nomic conditions which can be rem
edied only by immediate and active
employment of all human hands and
capital in productive industry to

Mrs. J. L. Hiatt
Found Overcome
By Gas in Home
Husband Declares Death Due
TO Accident, But Police
Discover Evidence of
Suicide.

As J. l.. Hiatt, prominent Omaha
real estate operator, entered the door
of his beautiful Dundee home Mon
day afternoon he was greeted by a
cloud OF gas. He rushed through
the house to the kitchen. where he
found his wife dying of asphyxia-
ton.
One burner on the gas stove in the
kitchen and the gas pilot were found
open. The kitchen windows were
closed.
Hiatt called the janitor, Robert
Hawkins. 225S Charles street, and
then police. Efforts to revive Mrs.
Hiatt were futile.
While Hiatt declares that asphyx-
iation was accidental police are work
ing on the supposition that Mrs.
Hiatt committed suicide because of
alleged marital troubles. According
to report from Detectives Trapp,
Haney and Scott, Detective Trapp
found a note in a suit of clothes,
which had been apparently laid out
for Mrs. Hiatt. The note, Detective
Trapp alleges, Hiatt grabbed from
his hand and destroyed, still insisting
that Mrs. Hiatt's death was acciden-
tai.
Note Left by Suicide.
Detectives Trapp, Haney and Scott
declared the note read:
You may have your Julia. l
hope you will be more loyal to her
than you have to me-
Trapp declares that when he de-
manded its return Hiatt replied:
"You will have to kill me before
| give it back"
Soon after word went out that
Mrs. Hiatt had died the house filled
with friends OF the family. Word
was given out that Mrs. Hiatt had
been in the kitchen cleaning pair
OF gray trousers belonging to Mr..
Hiatt and had not noticed the gas
burners were opened.
The janitor declared he passed the
window 80 minutes before Mrs. HI.
ats body was discovered and that
he saw her sitting in front of the
window reading the newspaper.
The trousers were still lying on
the kitchen cabinet table after the
body was found
Believes Death Accidental.
Mr.. Hiatt said he returned to his
home from his Office at 2:45 Mon
day afternoon. He and Mrs. Hiatt
had planned to go downtown and
select some wall paper for num-
Der of houses he was building.
He said he found Mrs. Hiatt sit
ting on a chair in the kitchen, her
head resting on a table. She was
unconscious
Hiatt discredits the police theory
and declares he is positive his wife's
death was accidental. .
James r. Allen, who for years has
been close friend of the HATS,
said last night:
There is nothing to the note
story. There wasn't any note. The
Hiatts have been married and have
lived happily for the past 10 years.
They have never had any troubles
and there was no reason why she
should have wanted to commit sui
eide The idea is preposterous.
Previous to her marriage Mrs.
Hiatt was Miss Winifred Rohan.
She was So years old. A sister
Serena Rohan, lived with the Hats.

Knox Resolution
To Declare Peace

Reserves Rights and Privileges
Under Versailles and Trian.
on Treaties-Holds En-

Washington, April 25.-Progress
of the initial administration peace
polcy-to end the state of war by
resolution of congress-was made
today in both branches of congress.
In the senate the Knox peace reso-
luton, revised in minor details, was
reported iavorably by the foreign re-
lations committee, and announce
ment was made by Senator Lodge OF
Massachusetts,, republican leader,
that it would be called up tomorrow.
Two similar resolutions, dealing
separately with Germany and Aus
tria, were introduced in the house by
Chairman Porter of the foreign al
fairs committee, who announced
they would not be taken up until
after the senate acts on the Knox
measure
Democrats Confer.
Although the senate is to begin
formal consideration tomorrow of
the Knox resolution, it was not cer-
tain today that actual debate would
start before Wednesday.
An informal conference tomorrow
between Senator Underwood of Ala
bama, democrat leader and minority
member of the foreign relations
committee, with a few other prpmi-
nent democratic senator's was
planned to discuss a course of pro-
Ccdure
Senator Underwood said he ex-
pccted democratic action would be
similar to that with regard to the
first Knox resolution which was
vetoed by former President Wilson.
That senate debate would con-
sumo only a few days was predicted
by republican and democratic lead
crs. A final vote this week was
regarded possible.
Very Few Changes.
The final draft of the Knox res
olution reported today differs little
from Senator Knox's original meas
ure. It would repeal the resolutions
declaring a state of war with Ger
many and Austria, reserve all Amer
ican rights and privileges under the
treaties of Versailles and Trianon,
and hold, subject to further DISPOSE
ton, the property of enemy aliens.
The committee vote on reporting
the Knox resolution was 9 to 2, all
republicans present favoring and
the only democrats present opposing
it. Other democratic committee
members were given the privilege Of
recording their opposition.
As distinguished from the senate
measure the Porter resolutions
would declare the state of war at an
end but without repeal of the war
resolutions. Representative Porter
explained it was unnecessary and
perhaps unwisc' to repeal the war
resolutions because such action
might be construed as disavow,l
Of the war"
