General debate on the naval appropriation bill terminated with the close of today' eslon of the house, one paragraph of the bill being read in order to make it the continuing order before the house. International arbitration, the reduction of our armament, a carefully prepared ad dress on th achievement of the navy and a defense of. the naval program for 1907, together with a speech in favor of a monu ment on King's mountain battlefield were the features of this legislative day. Those who addressed the house formally were Mr. Bartholdt of Missouri, Mr. Johnson of South Carolina,' Mr. Webb of North Caro lina and Mr. Tyreli and Mr.. Weeks of Massachusetts. Mr. Foss of Illinois, In charge of th bill, staled that the. naval budget probably would be completed after two day' debate under the flve-mlnute rule; Mr. Payne, the floor leader, thought it would take a day longer. Mr. Bartholdt (Mo.) argued for decreasing the also of the navy and gave notice that at the proper time he would offer an amend ment to the naval bill providing that the secretary of th navy should defer th building of the $l0,0u0,0u0 ship provided for in the bill until after the forthcoming meeting of the second, international Hague conference, and should the conference adopt a resolution at that session recom mending the gradual naval disarmament of th nations, then th ship Is not to be built.

PENNSYLVANIA ENTERS DENIAL Vice President Thayer Jay Mr. Gar- eld Perverted the Fact tilven II I m hy Company, PHILADELPHIA, May 6.-Vlce President Thayer of the Pennsylvania Railroad com pany today made the following statement Concerning the report of Commissioner In the Standard Oil inquiry: The report of Commissioner Garfield, so far as It refers to our company In It re lation with the traffic of the Ctandard Oil company, I an inexcusable and out rageous perversion of the facts. It I true that there ha been In effect a special rate on nine cents a barrel on oil from Olean to Rochester and It has not been withdrawn. This rate was originally made In 18S8 by the Western New York and Pennsylvania railroad, twelve years before the asqulsltion of that comptny by th Pennsylvania railroad. In order to re tain to the railroad traftlc that which would otherwise have gone by pipe line. It I not a secret rate and never has been se cret. The tariff was not filed with the in terstate commerce commission because It applies to traffic solely within the state. As to the so-called "suving of $115,000 In 1904," I presume thl 1 based o the differ ence between the special rate and the regu lar classification rate. This conveys tne Impression thot a large sum of money was illegitimately taken by the railroad com pany, which. In view of the fact above explained. Is manifestly not true. Reference I made to "blind billing" a If It were some secret devise. This also Is untrue. The explanation of so-called "blind billing" Is very simple: Billing Is another name used by railroads for man ifesting, which Is a record of shipments made only for the use of the railroad com pany in making proper movement of the traffic and taking proper account of It. The public never sees a manl'est, being interested only In tHe rate, the bill of lad ing and the freight 111. The term "blind" la used when mani fest are made without, the detail being shown, a practice not Infrequent, and not peculiar to the oil traffic, it purpose Is to save clerical work. Thl wa fully ex plained to Commissioner Garfield' repre e native and it wa clearly shown to him In the case under dlscualon that the actual freight money required by the Issued raU was collected and retained by the rail road company. After an exhaustive examination by the Department of Commerce our books and accounts being frtely produced both on state and Interstate traffic It appears that the only case that Commissioner Garfield was able to present for criticism In all our relation with the Standard Oil company la thl rate on oil between Olean and Roches ter, two points In the state of New York, a distance of 100 mile apart, at each of which points are located refineries of the Standard Oil company, and between which a pipe line could readily have been con structed. In the message from the president, trans mitting the report of Mr. Garfield, ref erence Is made to the relations of the railroads to the so-called "sugar trut" at New York, and to information conveyed to the president thut the. so-called 'sugar trut" rarelv if ever pay the lawful rate for transportation. A the Pennsylvania Railroad company is known to participate largely in the carrying of this traffic It would necessarily follow that such Informa tion applied to that company, and In view of this It is proper that answer thereto should be made on the company's behalf. Having personal knowledge. I deny pos itively snd emphatically that such Informa tion Is true, so far as tha Pennsylvania railroad company Is concerned, on the con trary I assert positively that the traffic of tlio o-caIled "sugar trust" or other ship pers of sugar ha been carried for many year past at the lawful published tariff rate and that no rebate or unlawful con cession, direct or Indirect, has been paid by our company on this traffic. It Is unfair and unjust to the president that he should be misled Into believing that any such condition of affairs exists as stated. OMAHA BOYS AT ANNAPOLIS Poor Who Are Earning DUtlactloa In the Cla . af ims. That the Omaha "middies" are maintain ing a creditable record for the stale and city at the Annapolis naval academy I demonstrated in the fact that Midshipman David C. Patterson, Jr.. was one of the ten midshipmen appomted to escort th officer of th French fleet during the Paul Jone memorial services at Anna poll last week. Thl committee wa made up of -the boy mot proficient In their French studio. Omahans in general are much Interested In the preent second class at th naval academy from the fact that four of the cla are former Omaha High school boys. They are Alexander M. Charlton. David O. Patterson, Jr., Frsnk J. Willie and Harry MoGulre. This class 1 having a strenuous experience. It started with JOS member and 118 have thu far fallen by the waysid for physical and mental reason, but th Omaha boy are standing the test finely. Charlton ranks number nine tu the class, Patterson twenty-nine. Willie thirty-five and McCJuIre not far behind Willie. All are lo excellent health and have escaped the hlng court-martial. The class will tart on It annual piaotic cruise in June and will be home for a few weeks' vaca tion In September. Frank i. Willi la the son pf Chrl Willi, proprietor of a barber shop in tha Vienna hotel. He had a fairly strenuous tlm getting Into th naval academy, but won out 0a merit alone. He wa graduated from th Omaha High school at th head of hi class aad waa appointed alternate by Senator Millard, and did not get into the academy until a year after hi appoint ment, when he waa finally appointed princi pal and successfully passed th sever ex amination on entering the academy. A. M. Charlton Is the aon of Alexander G. Charlton of th McCagu Investment company. David C. Patterson, Jr., la the aon of D. C. Patterson, the real estate man at 1023 Faream street. . Harry McGulre is a graduate of tha Omaha High school. He carried The Bee for three or four years, and after finishing his school work became a clerk In The bee advertising department ' WOVEN IN CLUB AND CHARITY. Notwithstanding the cry of the opposi tion that the club movement Is on the wane, the eighth biennial convention of the General Federation of Women's Clubs to be held at St. Paul, Minn , May ill lo June 7, promises to be the largest In point of attendance and in scope of interest of any in the history of the organisation. While there are all manner of rumors afloat regarding proposition of a more or less radical nature to come befcte t!e con vention, there has as yet developed no real Issue. Appended to the call or the conven tion are several proposed amendment to the bylaws of the Federation, but In the main, with the exception of two, these are In fact of little Importance. It has long been considered that the bylaw were poorly, even awkwardly, worded and the majority of the proposed amendments are to the end of clearer snd more concise ex pression only. There are two really Important amend ments, however, the Ilrst providing for an Increase In the size of the board of direc tor and the second relating to dues. At present the board Include the seven execu tive officer and eight director elected hy the convention. Two means of Increasing thl board of director are offered, the flrt by the addition of two vice president nd the second by having a director from each state represented In the Federation, In addi tion to' the regular officer. There are also two proposition relating to dues. The first provides that clubs of from twenty-five to 400 members shall pay 10 cent per capita annually, and all club of over 400 members ahall pay $40 annually. The second I that the due of club of twenty-five and fewer than 10 ahall pay 10 cents per capita, clubs of from 100 to 100 members $10 and club of more than 2W member 6 cent per capita. These amend ment should be given careful considera tion. At present the dues of clubs of lees than twenty-five members Is $2 SO a year and of all clubs of over twenty-five mem bers 10 cents per capita. This assessment has been complained of a too heavy by the large city clubs and the argument that they can afford It Is offset by the claim that the big city club has all It can do to meet the local demands upon It. These are demands of which the smaller clubs, and especially those of the smaller town, know nothing, and while JO cent per capita I a small amount when taken out of the treasury of the large club, it 1 a goodly cum. Many club women are Interested to know In Just what form the much discussed Eng lish scholarship proposition will be pre sented from the Society of American Women In London. It wa something over a year ago that the London organization made the rather extravagant proposition that the clubs of the General Federation establish scholarships for American girl In the English universities, the proposition, as generally circulated, being estimated at about $10,000,000. At first club women thought the report a mistake, so Inconsist ent did It seem considering the many othor demands upon the Federation' treasury, and even yet the proposition a genera') circulated In not accepted seriously. A permanent meeting place for the biennial and headquarters for the General Federa tion Is another proposition that rumor ha ssld would come up for consideration at the St. Paul meeting, but It is a question whether such a plan would ever be en dorsed by the convention, The annual nlectlon . of officer for the Omaha Woman' club, which take place at Monday afternoon meeting, ha been the subject of much discussion among club women of late, and those most closely In touch with the club and Its work feel that there has never been a time whan the selection of a president has been of more vital Importance than now. The disbanding of five of the departments and a consider able falling off In membership during the last two years has resulted in a scattering of interest and a small attendance at the general meetings that ha materially weak ened the club and Its Influence. Because of this scattered Interest much depends upon the election of a president who will bring together all faction and all departments. Many member have felt that the intellec tual side of the club has suffered during th last few years through th tendency toward the philanthropic, while other claim that the greatest possibilities of the club today lie along the lines of the altruistic. Of the several women who ar being dis cussed for the presidency Mrs. Edward Johnson has perhaps the largest support.
