NEW SHIPS
FOR NAVY PLANNED
Vinson Says $230,000, 900
Program Will Be Part of
Public Works Proposal.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Thirty new ships for the feet, big
Navy men on Capitol Hill say. will be
included in President Roosevelt's huge
forthcoming public works bill to re-
lieve unemployment.
Indications that Mr.. Roosevelt had
approved this plan came from Chair
man Vinson Of the House Naval Com
mittee even as Secretary Swanson was
discussing the Akron tragedy with news
paper men and saying:
1T seems to me we need surface
ships more than anything else"
Vinson agreed with that after q talk
with the President yesterday in which
he presented a program for the con-
struction in three years Of 80 new ships
costing $3.50, 100000 That construc-
ton program, Vinson said, 'is to be
included in the public works bill' now
being drafted for the President.
Still Under Limits.
..;ie new plan, Vinson asserted, will
still leave us way under Japan, Great
Britain, France and Italy in actual com
batant ships except battleships, and far
under treaty limits"
But" he added, "all the shipyards
Of the country, couldn't possibly build
our fleet up to permitted limits by the
time the London treaty expires on De-
cember 81, 1896. 1t will be all they
can do to construct the 20 destroyers,
four submarines, two aircraft carriers
and four light cruisers we now propose. u
The program he presented to the
President, Vinson said, contemplates
initial work on the destroyers and SUBJ
marines within 80 days after enact
ment of the public works bill, with the
other ships to be laid down in about
six months.
His contention was that the expendi-
ture Of $230,000,000 on new ships
would mean $195 100000 for employ
ment since "85 cents out Of each dollar
spent on vessel goes to labor"
Won't Hinder Budget.
Besides giving at least part-time en-
ployment to 10000 to 100000 men.
Vinson said, this construction won't
interfere with our efforts to balance
the budget since it, like all the public
works to be proposed, will be financed
by long-term bond issue" -,
Vinson said the only question in his
mind was when the bill will be sent
to Congress rather than whether 1t
will include this construction"
Estimates by the Navy, Vinson said,
are that 100000 men would be given
employment directly and indirectly
through this program.
But to be conservative" he added,
my guess would be nearer $50 .000-but
it's just guess for anybody. The
Navy and might both be wrong"
This program" he asserted, would
start industry. 1t would stimulate the
steel mills, the lumber plants, the cleo
trical equipment manufacturers and
give a great boost to railroads by pro-
viding them with something to haul.
I'm addition, it would give work to
thousands of highly skilled workers in
the industrial centers who cannot be
benefited by any other kind of public
works"
He said an initial appropriation Of
| s46 900 900 for next fiscal year, which
begins in June, would be sufficient to
start the work.

Miss Jessie Dell, in Address, Sug-
gests Use of Retirement

ice, renewal of mains, repairs, and so
forth, which are recommended by the
District Commissioners.
II hope that the House will give
thoughtful consideration to the amend
ments which I expect to offer to re-
store these appropriations which will
tend to increase employment for pub
lie works and thereby reduce unem-
ployment in the District for the next
fiscal year without one dollars expense

IF the House will not increase the

Convention.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated PreSS.
MILWAUKEE, Wis, April 5.-Wis-
consin went overwhelmingly "wet' in
passing judgment on the eighteenth
amendment.
Returns from yesterdays election
showed the voters had disapproved of
the amendment by a vote of to 1.
At its constitutional convention at the
State capital three weeks hence Wiscon-
sin will cast unanimous vote for the
repeal of the eighteenth amendment.
With the vote from 1,462 Of the
States 1888 precincts tabulated, more
than half the State, the vote on the
proposal to repeal the prohibition
amendment stood:
For repeal, 325,7o2; against, 74,55l.
VETS See Good Effect.
Drys conceded that repealists had
elected every one of the Is wet candi-
dates to the convention to be held April
25. Not dry will be present when the
convention assemblies to give formal ef-
feet to the mandate Of the people
yesterday.
Opponents as well as proponents Of
prohibition expected a wet tide in Wis
consin, but wet leaders said they were
elated by the proportions of their VIC
tory. The drys were not dismayed, for
they had conceded that they entered
the test without hope. Anti-prohibi-
tionists declared they were particularly
jubilant because they believed that a
great show of strength in the opposi-
ton to constitutional prohibition will
energize the wet cause in other States
soon to act on the proposal referred to
the several States by Congress.
1--WE are of to a good start" said DR..
j. j. Seelman, Milwaukee. chairman OF
the Wisconsin division Of the Associa-
ton Against the Prohibition Amend
ment.
One Village Voted Dry.
"The vote in Wisconsin, coupled with
the splendid victory in Michigan, marks
the beginning of the end Of prohibition.
The tremendous majorities for repeal in
these two States indicate that States
which have been in the doubtful column
can now be placed in the repeal
column"
Milwaukee did about as expected
voting IL to for repeal. In 233 OF
the city's 483 precincts the totals were:
For repeal, 59,398; against, 5.041.
But other cities were on Milwaukee's
heels. Green Bay went wet by q ratio

BALTIMORE, April 5.-Epsom salts,

ammonia, salt bath and painting
with potassium permanganate are rec
commended by Edwin H. Perkins, a

"A devout fish fancier told me that

pouring it on top of the aquarium and
when the fish came up for air 1t got
mouthful of oil,' Perkins told the
fish culturists of Maryland last night
But he added he had cause to doubt
the efficacy of the castor oil treatment,
because whenever he tried it on his
fish they died He warned against cur
curing a disease and killing the patient.
Fish diseases are caused by over
crowding in the tank and injury, but
he said, contrary to most beliefs, fish
cannot be overfed.
However" he added, "a fish may
eat so much of the wrong food that its
stomach is distended by it. But that
is not overfeeding. That is bad man

SHERRY ROBBED OF CHANCE AT TITLE
 FOR NOT DIVING
By JACK CUDDY d Press Staff COrrpSnOndent

OhAhSN A ANsoo okuh SOAAOShSohhNSuS
 New York, March 4-(UP)-Two magnificent caulifiower ears came into the office last night. Attached to them was Jack Sherry, the big heave and grunt man from Alaska and points south. There was ran cor in his soul, and being part In- dian, he said:
 To-morrow-she's inauguration day. The countryside gets new deal because Roosevelt is inaugur- ated. And the people-they get new deal too because I become wur' rld's champeen rassler."
 We apologized profusely for be- lieving that Jim Browning, the wine cask squeezer of Verona was still title holder.
 "Browning-ugh!" It was a grandoise Madison Square Garden ugh" that the 220-pounder gave off. Hes no champeen. They rob men of title and give it to him on -on what you call silver blotter. So tomorrow I claim champion ship and ask all commissions honor Jack Sherry"
 Overfowing into a chair: Sherry explained he had been robbed" of a chance at the title in Philadel- phia on February 15 when Ed "Strangler" Lewis still was cham pion.
 How It's Done
 He said he was matched to wrestIe the veteran Lewis on that night, but when the promoters and Lewis handlers learned that he would not talk business" with them, that he was out to win, they telephoned to Philadelphia news papers the report that Sherry was i'll and would not be able to meet the strangler.
 Because of those announcements and the selection of Stanley Pinto of Chicago to substitute for Sherry, the Philadelphia commission was amazed when Sherry marched into headquarters for the weighing-tn ceremony. It was so amazed that it cancelled the show and started an investigation.
 q would throw Lewis like that" growled Sherry. clapping his huge hands together.
 "I'm champeen and $5,00O offer to charity if Browning will chal- lenge my claims. I have plenty money and plenty strength. I'm honest-what you call rebel against crooked rassling. Rebel against palookas who joomp about ring and make fonney faces, then lay down. That's what I say when l inorgorate myself champeen."

 Clash Tomorrow
Especial to The Democrat)

NoHNCluh tO 1AC DOAAhONA"tp
 New Haven, March 4.-Staging an uphill fight to gain a place in the playoffs and not doing such a bad job of it at that, considering the facts that their ranks are de- pleted with two scarlet fever vic- tims, the Eagles skate out at the New Haven Arena tomorrow night to continue their warfare, this time opposing the Philadelphia Arrows.
 The Quaker City aggregation has been sharing the top berth of the Can-Am standing with the Provi- dence Reds for the greater part of the season and are considered the favorites to annex the league cham pionship. But the Eagles have an old score to settle with the Arrows and are hopeful of accomplishing it tomorrow night. In one of the liveliest contests witnessed here this season the Star Spangled sextet with only four spares on its roster was turned back by the strong Philadelphia club by the score of 3 to 1. The game was one full to the brim with excitement and one in which there was plenty of body checking meted out. There was also some clever stick work inter- mixed, not to mention the splendid display of puck stopping contrib uted by Goalies Roberts and Cude.
 When they return to the ice sur face tomorrow night there is every indication of great tilt as the locals are determined to avenge their former defeat while the Ar rows will seek to strengthen their held at the top of the league stand

In between the two teams, of course, is the Carringtons, who have been playing quite sensation ally during the second round Of play after dropping all their con tests in the opening round. To- morrow, the Hills have the honor of starting the first game of the weekly doubiekheader against the North End Thomas club, which came to life last week with a 48-33 win over the Naugatuck Emeralds, runners-up for the title last season.
 Change About
 The Hills showing in the second round of play thus far has been comparatively similar to that of the Carringtons in the first round, for George Casey's. cohorts have been knocked off two weeks arun- ming. The B. A. c. lost two games in the first round, both to the Hills but have lost no other con- tests before that or since having won both their second round games to date.
 Feature Game
 The up and coming Sacred Heart lads will oppose the Brooklyns to- morrow afternoon in the 3:45 p. m. feature game which should de- velop plenty of good basketball and perhaps a surprise or two, for there have been many on tap al- ready for the faithful who like their basketball Sunday afternoons. With Ray Lodge back in the line- up, the Hearts are more than apt to make things warm for the de- lending champions. Last week, both favorites were beaten. which shows those interested what makes basketball fans always look for the unexpected. Tom Carney and John Vreeland, regular league off, cials, will handle to-morrow's con- tests

Though a victory for Wilby will not give the team any added points for tournament selection, it will be impressive enough, as the boys from Grove street have the sole distinction of being the only team to beat Central on its home floor this season. Technically, a win for Wilby will De it's ninth of the sea- son against four defeats, while Central will have to take a tie with Naugatuck for the lead, if the borough schools record on file is approved, which is doubtful, due to questions of ineligible players.
 Double Objective
 Central is assured of a spot in the Yale tournament, but its ob- feet against Wi1by tonight will be twofold. First to tie up the val ley league title all by itself. Sec ond, to beat Wilby on its home floor, as the green and white did to Central earlier in the season. The Wilby guards are expected to have their hands full in holding Ritzull and Richell in check for the busy Bridgeport forwards have been the outstanding Central threat all season. The visitors will have to keep Block and Crichton held down closely, as well as Gene Sweeney, the teams running guard, who has had quite a hand in the scoring for the past sev- eral weeks.
 Depression Prices
 A ten cent student admission with a quarter tariff for adults is expected to bring out a goodly crowd of fans for the final Wilby game of the season in this city.
 Captain Jimmy Crichton, Gene Sweeney, Dom Spadola, Wilby reg ulars and Johnny Barnes, reserve player, will participate in their last hoop game in Wilby uniform to- night as all four boys are seniors scheduled for graduation next June. Central has but two seniors, Richel land Peizer.
