L Washington Jan. SLr-Eepresentativ
v Joha H. Email nnouneed tonight that
he would Introduce in the Eoua to
morrow substitute for tha Republi
can xivera and harbors measure carry
' in- an appropriation of 19,400,000 for
further improvement in waterways in
the United States with the aama amount
is tha aubatitute for Maintenance
' ii provided inctbe pending bill.'
Thit amount ia an increase of ap
proximately twelve million dollar over
tha appropriation carried in the "(pare
rib" till the Kepiiblieans offored yes
. terday. "It represents''.Mr. Small aaid
'"-to'dlnMr'the least aunt Which the thief
of engineers of .the army regards nece
aary for further improvements." --
The majority bill, whiclt was debated
at length in the Bouse yesterday, did
not eome up again today but went over
untU tomorrow. Determination by the
Democrats to offor a aubatitute was
. prompted chiefly by the ' statements
of Bepublleans who were swamped to
day with telcgrama protesting the "nig
gardly" appropriation in the bill which
; Chairman. Kennedy presented roster
' ! '; ' -: '' ' -- - '
- t' "'.Navy Protests Keealrtd,
Typical of these protests Was-a lele
gram from the Miasiajippi Valcy ater
. wave association , ,'., i. ,
"The newspapers :-nl commercial
. interest of fit. Louis' . ere vigorously
protesting against the niggardly approp
riation for waterway, improvement eug
grated by tba ehairman . of the river
and harbors ' committee. Transporta
tion is the vital need f the Mississippi
Valley at tola time and the use of our
navigable waterways is the only meant
' of aecu'ring the, seeded relief. In pur
suing a policy that will cripple the
commerce of our country and retard
ita further development, we will be fol
lowing the moat expensive policy that
can be imagined.", .
Similar warnings againat the peraU
nioniou policy which brought forth the
smallest rivera and harbor bill on rec
ord have been received by other mem
bers, whose districts border on water
way of some-, importance to the na
tional commerce. v ' -'- '
: The defense of Beprcsentativ Mon
dell, of Wyoming, Bepubliean floor
leader, is that the reduction -of more
thaa 70 per cent, make the bill a pork
less measure, but Representative Free
Man, Republican, of Connecticut, aaid
f today that the pending bill is a "spare
rib1 measure instead. '
Cannot Continue Work.
" Mr., Small aaid today that it would
be impossible to continue work under
such a small appropriation aa the com
mittee reported upon the order of tha
Bepubliean, bosses. -
"The committee told the chief of en
gineers," explained Mr. Small, "to cut
down expenses as low as possible with
out hurting the public intents. Then
the lowest figuree submitted called for
approximately $20,000,000. . "
The twelve million dollar.' bill -was
sprung by the committee in the House
yesterday "'after the Dsmoe ratio mem
bers of the committee had been told
. that a bill carrying twenty millions for
v specific work would be reported. No
hearings were held upon the "economy
bill," as the Republicans elect to call
. it. - - , .. . . , , - - .;
Mr. Small was of the opinion tonight
-, that such a howl had gone up ever the
country- that the Republican bosses
c wonld be forced to recede from their
. position and allow the substitute bill
which he proposes to offer tomorrow to
go through, carrying a total appropria
tion of appraonsaatejy twenty-four mil
lion. - ' .... , "- . .
The substitute bill which the Demo
- eraU will propose will carry specific
appropmtiona as agreed upon after the
' entire rivera - and harbors committee
had applied the pruning knife to the
'original estimates of the Board of En-
gineers. The committee, aakniraonsly,
sliced off fifty per cent of estimate be
fore the ura n d ate was ijsued to make it
"porkless." .
Little Chsace for State. 1
, Xorth -Carolina would hav little
chance, under the pending bill, to get
anything at all. The original satimatee
have been reduced from a- sum ia ex-

which is for the lower Cape Fear pro
ject. The work of deepening the Cape

stitute. -: ' .. . -

sufficiently explicit to guide comma td

to tho naval Secretary that all of Hi
recommendations were not favorably
considered, General Barnett told tho
committee he accepted tho reply of Mr,
Daniels that tho line had to be drawn
somewhere to uphold tho value of tho
decorations,
Declaring that Thomas A. Edison, con
trary to popular belief, aad "little to

Admiral Grant told the committee that

for the successful development of tha

recommended both officers for navy

he voted for Wilton nor aeesnse, in an
