BASE VOTEDDOWN
Senate Refuses Appropriation
for Project at Alameda,
California
VOTE 4o-ao; NO PARTY LINES

Washington, May "a. - Advocates
Of economy in Federal expenditures won
their first big victory yesterday
when the 500. 200, 900 naval base
project for Alameda, Calf. on San
Francisco Bay. was voted out Of the
Naval Appropriation Bin by a decisive
majority.
Middle Western Republicans. voting
with the Democrats. disregarded the
pleas Of the party managers in the Sen"
ate and gave the Naval Affairs Commit
tee n severe trouncing. The vote was
tee amendment which provided for es-
tablishment Of what was intended to
become one Of tho worlds greatest naval
bases. An appropriation Of 81 SOC. COO
recommended for development was
denied, as it was but the opening wedge
to be followed by substantial appropria-
tions in the future.
The Alameda project was urged with
especial emphasis by Senator Lodge,
majority floor leader, but he could not
hold the Republicans In line in the face
of the withering fire directed against
the real estate deal by Senators Bo-
rah, King and La Toilette. Nineteen
Republicans voted with twenty .one
Democrats against the authorization.
Twenty six Republicans and four Dem
ocrats supported the Naval Committee.
In an effort to save the Alameda project
at the previous session of Congress.
when the naval bill failed Of passage,
Senator Lodge staged n secret legislative
session Of the Senate in order to discuss
behind closed doors the necessity for
enormous appropriations for the Pociic
due to the status Of American Japanese
relations. Mr.. Lodges address was
satirized by the champions Of economy
as an effort to use the "bugaboo OF the
yellow peril in order to 'rescue a huge
pork barrel project" Yesterdays vote

Hope Presidents Return to

to Remedial Action.

Employees Of the Washington Navy
Yard today expressed tho hope that
President Harding would at once take
up their appeal for remedial action on
the reductions Of pay which go into
effect today and which amount to
more than $5.00o.000 for the local
yard alone.
The fight against the wage cut was
continued yesterday, when a delega-
ton Of yard machinists called on Sec
retary OF Labor Davis and asked that
he intervene in their behalf.
The Secretary, according to men,
bers Of the delegation, expressed in
terest and requested them to furnish
him rates Of pay in force in private
establishments. which were presented
to the wage board. The data, it was
said, would be furnished the Secre-
tary today.
"A number OF mechanics have quit
their positions in the navy yard to ac-
cept offers in private establishments at
a higher rate Of pay, and large num-
bers OF others are looking out for out
side connections" II. p. Leeman. presi-
dent OF Columbia Lodge, declared last
night.
"The morale Of the workmen in the
navy yards Is torn to shreds. The
only hopeful factor is that the men
feel the reduction ordered will be de-
ferred when its unrighteousness is rec

HERE'S REAL INTELLIGENCE.

MILTON KRONHEIM some
years ago had a wholesale liquor
establishment in Georgetown, and
sent out advertisements of we'll
known brands Of liquor. Owing to
the behavior of Mr.. VOLSTEAD
it was necessary for Kronheim to
give up that business. He is now
q manufacturer and dealer in
malt extracts and hops.
The other day he received a let
ter from a citizen Of Richmond,
name and address signed at the
bottom, saying that the writer had
seen Kronheim's advertisements
and to please forward him two
quarts Of GREEN RIVER at price
mentioned in advertisement-$1.25
per. Kronheim did not answer,
and has received a second letter.
urging that the Green River be
forwarded at once at the price
given.
The writer asked that Kronheim
be sure that it had been bottled
in bond"
We did not think there was q
man in the country who did not
know that $1.25 per quart Was but
q memory mighty hazy one at
that. And old Green River, "the
whiskey without a headache" on
the label q picture Of old Uncle
Ned and his mule
And the saddest part is that the
letter was from Richmond, Va,
where the booze drinkers pay fancy
prices for the poorest sort of corn
whiskey made in the Virginia
mountains. That It will give q
headache is absolutely guaranteed.
