APPROPRIATIONS FUR FLEET BASE
 BLOCKS PASSAGE .OF NAVAL BILL
LRepublIcan A. p. Leased Wirel

WASHINGTON, May 20.-Contro- versy over the proposed establish ment of a new Pacific coast naval base at Alameda, Cal, and for sus pending Charleston, s. C., navy yard improvements again stalled the $500,- 900, 900 naval appropriation bill in the senate today in a quagmire of debate. No votes were taken, no progress was made except debate. and the senate adjourned until next Monday with leaders hoping for passage of the bill early next week.
 A bipartisan attack, led by Sen ators Robinson, Democrat, of Arkan- sas, and Borah, Republican. of Idaho, was conducted against the Alameda project. It was contended that the bills provisions appropriating $1,- 500, 900 to begin dredging and exca- : vating for a new supply base and authorizing acceptance free to the government of more than 500 acres of land near Alameda, really contem- plated scrapping the Mare Island navy yard and the expenditure of from s60,000,0e0 to $100. 100000 for a
 great general fleet base. Senator Poindexter, Republican, of Washing ton, in charge of the bill, contended that merely a small supply base was contemplated at present and that congress could refuse further appro- priations for fleet base.
 The Charleston, S. C., project was | the subject of an address by Senator ] Smith, Democrat, of South Carolina Who charged sectionalisna in maya appropriations. Urging the senate tG
 reconsider it's recent vote ordering
 suspension of work on the Charleston
 dry dock and channel until 1924, ht

 expenditures had been made on tn,
 500 miles of Atlantic coast north O Cape Hatteras to the 5000 miles O
 coast line to the south.
 l Forces opposing the Alameda pro
 visions expressed confidence tonigh
 that they would be stricken from tn, bill, but leaders supporting the com
 mittee recommendations appeared confident of retaining them. Whethe
 Senator Smiths fight for expehdi 1 lures at the Charleston yard would be fruitful also was In doubt. Re publican leaders were said to be con
 sidering restoration of Charleston.

 On Election Day

BELFAST, May 20-Ulster, on the eve of the elections, the first to be held under the system of propor- tional representation, is like region at war. Armored cars are here, there and everywhere; lorry loards of police and military come and go and the military is guarding head quarters of all loyalist activities. But up to the present there have been no more than the usual clashes be- tween rival factions which have oc- cured in Ulster elections for a gen. eration and nothing beyond this is anticipated by those m the best po- sition to judge.
 However, the authorities are taking no chances. Forces are being kept ready so that they can be rushed to the scene of possible disturbance
 For election day, May 24. further precautions are being taken. such as closing of all licensed premises. As for the result of the polling the unionists are very confident, and are claiming they will win 34 out of the g seats.
 It is generally believed the wom- en will vote as their men have al- ways voted, either Catholic or Prot estant, and that the Socialist vote among the workmen. which is likely to go to Sin Fein, will be offset by Catholics who have heretofore voted Nationalist, but who disagree with the extreme policy of the Sim Fein
 The Nationalists fear the combined forces of the Nationalists and Sin Feiners will not win more thanfrom 12 to IS seats.

 You see what is going on in Eng land: the contest that they have had there and is still existing. a strike of the mine workers demanding na- tionalization of the coal mines. where a social and industrial revolution was just escaped. and what indeed may yet come before the contest is ended.
 'The trouble here is that the American public and the business men of this country do not fully ap- preciate and do not understand how close the radical labor leaders are in this country to the leaders on the other side of the water, and how closely they are affiliating and fol- lowing. and what a close alliance there is so far as their demands and their aspirations go.'
 The former governor told the op- e~ators that if they hoped to win in a struggle with the miners over the wage adjustments this spring they must take steps to gain public sym pathy and confidence and not under take to keep anything under cover.
