Several Democrats Voting With the Repub licans on the Proposition. TAWNEY THOUGHT ONE LARGE SHIP WAS QUITE ENOUGH lluh-on. However, Contended That Three Would Only Keep Naval Strength Vp to Present Standard. Washington, April !. By a decisive vote 01 If,; to 110, fourteen being present and not voting, the house au thorize. 1 the construction of two bat tleships to cost $6,000,000 each. Thirty-three democrats voted for two battleships and twenty-four republi cans voted against the proposition. This action was taken Just previous to the passage of the naval appropria tion bill carrying about $128,037,602. This amount ia about $3,000,000 less thii.n was recommended by the navy department. In addition to the bat tleships the bill also provides for the construction of two fleet colliers and four submarine boats. As amended on motion of Mr. Fits getttld of New York, Ihe two battle ships and two fleet colliers must be constructed by firms operating under the eight hour law. The committee on naval affairs had reported in favor of authorities tH'o battleships. Mr. Tawney ol Minnesota, Chairman of the appropriations com mittee, offered an amendment provid ing tor three battleships. Ilobson's Choice. Mr. Ilobson contended that three battleships would give no increase but would provide only for the ordinary depredation in the naval force. By an almost unanimous vote the house rejected the proposition. Mr. Rrnnna of North Dakota mov- ed to strike out the authorization for the construction of any battleships, a viva voce vote showing that there were not a handful of advocates of a "no battleship" policy. Speaking in favor of his one bat tleship plan Mr. Tawney reiterated his statement that seventy-two per cent, of the revenue of the country was be ing expended for wars that had passed and for preparation for wars to come. He declared that one battleship was sufficient to maintain the proper strength of the navy. Mr. Thomas of Ohio proposed an amendment for four battleships, but lh" house voted it down almost unan imously. 'I a wiiey's Amendment. Mr. Tawney's amendment for one battleship also was lost by a vote of 101 to 128. At least 30 democrats voted with the republicans against Mr. Taw ney's plan. A point of order was sustained eliminating from the bill authority given the secretary of the navy for the construction of a million dollar fleet collier to be built on the Pacific coast by private contract, so that und- r exiating law It will be constructed in a government navy yard on the Pacilic con St. The appropriation of $1,000,000 for one repair ship was also stricken out on a point of order. Mr. Fitzgerald of New York, of lend an amendment. which was adopted by a vote of 131 to 15, unJor which the two battleships and two fleet colliers must built by firms work Ing under the eight hour law. Mr. Hughes of New Jersey, attempt ed to have the same law appliod to the building of the four submarine torpedo boats authorized by the bill. The amendment was ruled out of order. Mr. Goldfogle of New York offered an amendment directing the construc tion of one battleship in a navy yard which was defeated 93 to 103. The provision permitting the con solidation of bureaus of the navy de partment according to the plan of Secretary Meyer was stricken out on a point of order. Mr. Padgett of Tennessee, senior democratic member of the committee on naval affairs then moved to re commit the bill with Instructions that It be reported to the house to pro vUe for only one battleship.

THE INDICTMENT SEASON REACHED COMPLEX STAGE In Reviewing Work Jurors Take Fall Out of Bank Officials and Million aires. Pittsburg, April 9. A true bill , Charging Max G. Leslie, collector of delinquent taxes in Allegheny county with bribery was returned by the grand jury and at the same time a sweeping presentment was handed down with general charges that many of the 125 witnesses which the grand Jury 1ns had before it during the graft investigations thus far have wilfully withheld knowledge of graft secrets, and thnt a certain fe"w have practl cal'y m en guilty of perjury. Directors and officials of some of the six big banks which profited by the corrupt depository ordinance are severely seoi ed bj the probers. The Indictment of lyslin follows his recent ncoiiitt.il on a charge of per jury in claiming tin alibi in connec tion with a lire vious Indictment of al leged bribery. He Is now charged with receiving $2a,000 from the Columbia National Bank of Pittsburg nn June P.. 1908. in the former indictment the da'e was named as June II. and Leslie provee' that he was out of the city at the time. H is charged that of Hi" $2."i,O0O he paid over $17,r,n to Wil liam Brand to bribe- couitoilmen. Tile indictment season has reached that complex stage- where even th grand jurors themselves thought it necessary fo present ti compre-lieiisK-review of till their work. li was declared most emphatically thnt former Councilman Charles Stew art anil Cashier James M. Young, of the Second National bank have con cealced information from the grand in quisitors. . "We have." the jurors reported, "been unable to uncertain who pa.l Stewart this bribe monej meaning $52,000 charged :;s furnished by the Frlend-Hoffstot pool of banks), in New York. Although Stewart met this man at last upon two or three oc casions, although he knew his name and bad several drinks with him. he nevertheless swears that he dues not remember his name." The grand jury also recommends a new investigation by the directors of the Second National bunk and in spe cific terms charges that Cashier Young Is shielding F. N. Hoffstot. anil that there Is reason to believe that some one else connected with the Second National bank Is responsible for this. Their Validity Attacked. The validity of the contrac ts under which six favored banks now hold Ihe city's money is attacked. Important In that It shows how the banks were Induced to put so large an amount of money for the boodle fund Is the recommendation that sit per cent, be cnllected on the city de posits from theee banks from and af ter this date. The city depository banks are now paying two per cent on city deposits, aul It Is alleged that the agreement between the coupcllmen was to get the difference for reducing the percentage. The presentment conclude: "We here desire to emphatically nouncc as public malef ictors not onlv the men who solicited the bribes, who held up the banks and the influential men of the city of Pittsburg, but also of the city of Pittsburg, but ulsn to denounce for their port In our city's shame the bank president, or the mil lionaire who attempts and who causes the downfall of the poor councilman who Is paid no salary for the dutlei he is called upon to perform for the be neilt of the public."
