NAVAL FUEL T|EUP
FACED BY j. S. NAVY
Committee Cuts in Half De
iicicncy Bill; Carries
$G,2O0.000

WASHINGTON, Mar. Necessity
OF tying up every ship in the navy for
lack of fuel to permit operation faced
tho navy department as an immediate
probability tonight. duo to action OF
tho house appropriations committee
in reporting out today a deficiency
item OF Ss.p0o0O for nava, fuel to
bc used during the remainder OF the
fiscal year. This sum is about one
half OF the original fuel deficiency cs-
innate submitted by tho department.
As drawn by tho committee. tho
bill does not provide for an additional
appropriation but merely authorized
the department to spend money 1t
might be able to recover from other
current appropriations for fuel up to
the limit sot.
Naval officials are known to regard
tho situation as serious, altho Socrc-
tary DENLY tonight refused TO au-
thori2c any comment On the action OF
tho committee. There were indlca-
tons however that orders must go
forward to all parts of tho navy al
most mediately under which no ship
would be permitted to operate under
steam for tho remainder OF the fiscal
year unless administration forces were
successful in inducing congress to
mako more liberal fuel appropria-
lions.
While tho navy department has au-
thority under existing law to create
deficiencies ns an emergency matter.
IL is known the policy OF the admins
tratiou is against that practice and
that Secretary DENLY proposes to keep
expenditures OF his department within
limits of appropriation, If It Is human

In presenting the fuel deficiency.
situation to the subcommittee on
naval appropriations. Secretary DENLY
pointed out that the original cs'i-
mates for tho current year were SST,-
600. 900. which was ultimately reduced
by tho department TO ss0,o00,000 and
cut by congress TO S1I,5OO.0o0. OF
that sum. only sti,oO0,o0O was avail
able for flcet fuel, and MIR. DENLY eS-
planned that should every ship now in
commission remain at anchor thru
out the year. the total fuel bill TO
keep them under necessary steam in
port would amount to S1a,Sbo,oop
which would leave the navy only ST.
10000 for operations under way

ference, the senate today ratified with
out reservation or amendments. the
treaty with Japan. confirming Amert-
can cable and radio rights on the Is
land of Zap. Tho final vote was sixty
seven to twenty-five. representing
margin OF seven over tho necessary
two thirds. The thirty-two Demo-
Gratis present divided. thirteen for rati-
ficntion and nineteen against while
only three Republicans voted in the
negative.
As soon as tho result had been an

bitterly fought debate which Is ex-

lowed an all day battle over rcserva-

half dozen proposals all presented by
Democratic senator's were voted down

The rescrvationisis made their prin-
cipai fight and reached the high water
mark in strength in favor of an amend
mcnt which would have declared that
the United States should be the sole
judge as to whether American radio
development on Yap Is warranted. tn-
der tho treaty no American plant is TO
h installed there ns long as Japan
maintainS one adequate to meet the
situation" but proponents OF tho
amendment urge that controversy
might arisc over tho question whether
japanese facilities are adequate. on
the roll call tweuty-ninc votes inciud-
ing those OF four Republicans were
mustered for the proposal while fifty-
four senators including five Demo-
Gratis voted against X.
In opposing the radio amendment.

that to attach either reservations or

a reservation and 1t was rejected

Members of tho various senate Gle

cance OF ,oday's action with regard to
the four power and other treaties
awaiting senate action. The admins
tration managers declared on subsc-
quent ratification roll calls they cx-

Tho Grand Opera House block wa.

the worlds greatest architcc.s. He
originated the Sulilvancsquo style of
architecture.
Tho wallis wcrc OF an unusual thick
ness. which accounts for tho wall,
standing after all supports were
burned.
The original design called for archie,
completely around tho first floor. but
in 1915 when the First National bank
moved, the corner front was rcmodelcd
to suit the needs OF the Pueblo store
company and the arches were eliminat-
cd in parts of the building. Tho re-
modelling was designed and carried
out by Architect Francis Cooper. The
bnso OF tho building was OF grant.
an' the upper part was OF Manitou

Tho Grand Opera House block was
erected in 1890 by syndicate OF fu-
chlo men. The Prudential Life 1nsur-
sncc company loaned a large sim OF
money on the building and later fore
closed because OF the failure Of the
debtors to mako good the amount
loaned.

dental by Martin Walter Sr. and g.
Harvey and Ezra Suckolls and tho
At,ddelkamp Agency. Later when Mr..
walters desired TO spend large

chased the interests of tho other par
