THE 1 jSHELLE "CITIZEN TJ1EWEATIIR THIS WANT AD PHONE VOL. XXIV. NO. 146. ASIIEVILLE, N. C, WEDNESDAY MORNING, A Hi Hi HHW. PRICE FIVE CENTS. PRESIDENT MAKES LAST PLEA TO CONGRESS FOR TWO MORE BATTLESHIPS Brief But Vigorous Mes' sage Urging Rapid De velopment of Navy. IS READ TO BOTH BRANCHES OP HOUSE Indications Point to Close Victory for Opponents of Battleships. (By Associated Press) WASHINGTON. April 14 Tho message Of the president In support of his plan for an appropriation for four new battleships was read In both houses today and attracted much at tention. The dobate on the naval bill was under flill sway In the house when the message arrived. A typographical er ror In the print of the message was seized upon by those opposed to the four battleship plan, to delay the reading In the hope that the provision relating to the battleships would be tlrst reached and thereby discount any effect the message might have In bringing members over to the presi dent's vie. Consequently the bill wan not laid before the house until Just before the close of the day's work. It was enthusiastically received by the advocates of a larger navy. The antls later gave vent to their feelings by applauding a petition from a number of citizens of New York, which was read at the instance h"f" 'Mr. Tawney protesting against the extravagance ' of spending over $00,000,000 for four battleships. It was evident that the opponents of four battleships were in the ma jority, although the final vote will be close. On an objection by Mr. Williams. Mr. Hobson was prevented from hav ing read a memorial from laboring men favoring the building of more hips. The 'message was presented In the donate immediately after the conclu sion of Senator Porakor's speech, and while Vice-President Fairbanks was engaged In ft vigorous attempt to re store order. The secretary of the sen ate skimmed through tho document In short order and a motion to adjourn ended the dilemma. Senators anil members were supplied with copies of the document and many read It with avidity. The Message. The message was a brief but vigor ous contention for the rapid develop ment of the navy. It was in part as follows: "To the Senate and House of Repre sentatives: "Let me tgaln urge upon congress the need of providing for four but tleshlps of the best ami most advanc ed type at this session. Prior to the recent Hague conference it had been my hope that an agreement could be reached between the different nations to limit the Increase of naval arma ments, and especially to limit the size of warships. Under thenc circum stances I felt that the construction of one batleship a year would keep our navy up to its then positlvo and relative Rtrength. Hut actual exper ience showed not merely that it was Impossible to obtain such an agree, ment for the limitation of armaments nmnng the Tirlous leading powers, but that there was no llkllhood what ever of obtaining It In the future with in any reasonable time. Concdcntally with this discovery occurred n radical i change In the building of battleships among the great military nations a change In accordance with which the most modern battleships have been or are being constructed of n size and armament which doubles, or more probably trebles their effective ness. Every other great naval nation has or Is building a number of ship of this kind: we have provided for but two, and therefore the balance of power Is now Inclining against us I'nder these conditions to provide fir but one or two battleships a year is to provide that this nation, instead of advancing shall go backwards In naval and relative power among the great nations. Such a course would be unwise for use if we fronted merely on one ocean, and It Is doubly unwise (Continued on Pago Four.) FURTHER DENIAL OF LILLEY'S CHARGES MADE BY PRES. LAKE (By Associated Press.)

(By Associated Press) WASHINGTON, APRIL, 14 Tho expit-ted light In the House of Repre sentatives over the question whether there shall be two or four battleships authorized for the coining yeur, did not materialize today while the naval appropriation bill waa under dis cussion, instead most all of the ses sion was devoted to a lively debate regarding naval stations In the Phil ippines. The supporters of the big Hublg Pay appropriation, led by Mess rs Koss and Hobson were victorious despite vigorous opjmsition from both rides of the chamber. Accord ingly the sum of $100,000, as recom mended by the committee for Improv ing and developing the naval station at Olongapo, Subig Pay, waa allowed to rtand. A special message from President Roosevelt urging four bat lleslilps was read and elicited loud applause from tile advocates of the proposition.
