less than recommended by tl.e Navy Gcn

expenditures. Tlie program of the de
partment may be summed up In the
phrase: 'More money afloat and leas
ashore.' I therefore recommend the au
thorization by the present congress of
the following building program' Two
drp.idnaughts, eight destroyers and three
submarines.

program, but It is h irKrsMA) one It

"With the authorization of two of the

ships to havo always a creditable and

Atlantic oceans. These, together with

make the American navy one of strength
and power, ready for the protection of

"If the present congress authorizes tha
two dreadnaughts, eight destroyers and

country will have a 'well proportioned'

of tho fleet or fleets. Those who bid

Those who wish to hasten more rapidly

" It Is a condition and not a theory

JACOBSON TOJLEAYE BOARD
Friend of Holovtchiner Announces
Intention to Quit.
DOCTOR'S FOES ARE JUBILANT
Selection of Mnn to 5ncceel Jacob
son Who Opposes the President
ailRht Defeat Holovtchiner
for Re-election,
Vice President J. L. Jacobson of the
Board of Education, chairman of the Im
portant committee on buildings and
grounds, has 'announced his Intention to
resign "because he has moved out of the
Sixth ward ana because, press of private
business prevents him devoting sufficient
time to his board duties.
Jacobson's resignation putt a new face
on the coming presidential election in
January, for It will leave Dr. U. Holovt
chiner. president, vlu, a bare majority
and completely at trie mercy of his op
ponents If they succcea in electing a suc
cessor to Jacobson.
Knowing an antt-Holovtchlncr man In
Jacobson's place would mean the deposi
tion of Holovtchiner and the elevation of
C. T. Walker qf the finance committee
to the presidency, Holovtchlner's support
ers are seeking to provall upon Jacobson
to stay on the board until after the elec
tion. Out of eleven members remaining on
the Board of Education. Holovtchiner
may count five as his supporters; the
opposition claims six and are conceded to
have five, leaving the deciding vote In
doubt.
Jacobson, said he was rolng to resign
Immediately, but he has tsken the de
cision under advisement. His resignation
was slated to be presented to the board
Monday night, but It Is probaDle It will be
held until the second meeting of the
month.
Strong; Movement for Walker.
Antl-IIolovtchlner members of the
board have started a campaign 0 gainst
the doctor and for C. T. Walker, who has
long harbored the ambition to head the
board. Dr. J. J. Foster, who Is strongly
opposed to Holovtchiner, and James
Richardson, who was almost unanimously
defeated for president at the last elec
tion, will lead the antl-Holovtchlner fight
These two "Insurgents,'-.' are already
making capital of enemies Holovtchiner
has made since he has been on the board
and they are preparing to attack his
record.
Uy appointing an assistant at tho Fort
special school for boys who was displeas
ing to the Central Labor union. President
Holovtchiner Incurred the antagonism of
labor leaders; he has been asked to ex
plain why a heavy deficit burdens the
school district, and he has been charged
with being too zealous In the discharge
of his duties.
Answering these arguments, the Holovt
chtner men say: Tho assistant appointed
at Fort school la admittedly capable; tho
deficit In the general fund Is due to thi
automatic increase in teachers' salaries,
repairs, refurnlshlngs of 'schools; that
two new schools have been established,
nrcessltatlngtlwemploymcot.of thlrtjt
additional teachers and Janitors; that tl
growing school population has forced tin
employment of adflftlonnl teachers.
Opponent Pleased,
These arguments In no way serve to
assuage the reviving feuds which are tak
ing on the color of their old-time bitter
ness. Tho nntl-llolovlchlner men sny the
end of his supremacy Is In sight If Jacob
son's successor can be named by them,
and they are becoming Jubilant.
Holovtchiner himself has nothing to say
In regard to the campaign or Its probable
outcome. Ho knows Jacobson Intends to
resign, but will not discuss the effect It
may have on the board's policies.

the commission men wilt not sell to th

Chicago since 1M0, when the question wa
