WILL COST SIX MILLIONS Hobson Wanted to Build Three Ship*, but Hi* Amendment Wa» Finally Cut Out. Washington—By a decisive vote ot 182 to lltt. fourteen being present and ret voting, the house authorised the construction of two battleships to cost *8'\m,000 each. Thirty-three democrats voted for two tutttieships and t^^Stv-four republicans against the pr^vs^Sor. This action was taken just prior to the passage of the naval appropria tion bill, carrying $l2!ktVS7,«X'2. This amount :s about SlvtXXVvXX' less thsa was recommended hy the Navy de partment. In addition to the battle ships the bill also provides for the construction of two fleet colliers and four submarine boats As amended on motion of Mr. Fit* gerald of New York, the two battle ships and two feet colliers must be constructed by firms operating under the eight-hour law. After fixing an hour and one-half as the time for debating amendments for the authorisation of battleships the house wasted a large part of that time in a parliamentary contention concerning the manner in which the time would be divided between the two side's The debate proceeded un der the five-minute rule. The committee on naval affairs had reported in favor of authorixing two battleships. Mr Tawney of Minne sota. chairman of the appropriations committee, offered an amendment providing for only one battleship, w hile Mr. Hobson proposed an amend ment providing for three Mr. .Hobson contended that three battleships would give no increase, but would provide only for the ordi nary depreciation in the naval force. By an almost unanimous, vote tha house rejected the proposition. Mr. Gronna of North Dakota moved to strike out the authoriiation for the construction of any battleships, a viva voce vote showing there were not a handful advocates of a "no battle ship" policy. Speaking in favor of his onobattle •hip plan - Mr Tawney reiterated his statement that Ti per cent of th* revenue of the country was being ex pended for wars that had pissed and for preparation for wars to come. He declared that one battleship was su! fleient to maintain the proper strength of the navy.
