Three of our battleships are 'In reserve,' six are 'In ordinary' and three rtre 'out of commission.' Further more we havo 15 cruisers, 22 destroyers.

In support cf my charge I call to. witness the evidence of Assistant Secretary Hooscvclt given at your hearing and the evidence of Rear Admiral Charles J. Badger. Both of thoae men say that the navy la l,0uu men short, not counting the Jailors neod ad far ships now building. Your wit ness. Rear Admiral Victor Blue, estimates our navy to bo short for v,ar only 8H enlisted men. Yet the general board, which has actually made our war plans, estimates the enlisted force of tho navy as between 30,000 and 50,000 men short for war. "If any attention has been paid to the general board's emphatic appeals for our national safety. Instead af only 37 bat tleships, built and building and author ized, wo should now havo 47 battleships, built, building and authorized; Instead of I destroyers we should have 187 destroy er.

How many do you think we actually hava got? Just three, and those were authorized over ten years ago. The general board asks us to build four this year, but the Sec retary has refused to recommend a single scout "You Ijnlw that we have W submarines In all, built and building, good, bad and Indifferent. Admiral Badger, In his tes timony, quotes the General Board as saying that we need 100 submarines. Last year Admiral Vreoland told us that we needed 100 submarines for harbor defense alone.

OBSOLETE WAn VE8SELS, "Two months since I could get Informa tion pretty freely down In the Navy De partment Before this pestilence of mine developed I learned that a very wide spread belief exists among well-informed officers to the effect that after IS years' service, rather than after 20 years' serv ice, many types of war vessels are as obsolete1 as a Roman trireme. The same story was told this committee by Assist ant Secretary Roosevelt. If such Is the case, a considerable number of our ships which still linger like ghosts upon the navy list have In reality been gathered to their fathers In their last long sleep, "I don't believe that any well-informed man believes our fleet to be super ior to that of Germany, A year ago, Hear Admiral C.

"I am here to ask you to appropriate for the full number of new ships recom mended by the general naval board for this year's construction. Don't be penny Wise and pound foolish. The country for a change Is going to watch Us, so don't reduce the building program of the board. As you know, tho general naval board from 1903 down to the present time has a pretty definite policy, but we havo paid It no attention hitherto." 'HAS "WAKED UP" AT LAST. Representative Gardner was subjected to a sharp grilling by Representatives Hensley, Williams, of Illinois! Wlther spoon and Chairman Tadgott, of the Naval Committee In reply to a question by Representative Hensley, Gardner de clared ho was not a partisan as far as this Investigation Is concerned, and tho reason he had not brought up the subject before was because, "I have been a cow- nnl like the balance of us. but now I have waked up and have some sense at last." Gardner said the testimony of Assistant Secretary of tho Navy Rosevelt, Admiral Kleke and Commander Stirling, "woe (he beginning of tho end of the soporific silence regarding naval preparedness. This aoporlfto silence," he said, "has radiated from the Whlta House and spread over this committee." Gardner said that he believed the na tion would be perpetually unprepared for war If It continued to allow "musty old boarda" to determine what should be dono. "Do you think we ought to be In a continual state of preparedness for war? What la your posltlon7" asked Rep resentative Williams. "First, I want an investigation," replied Gardner, "to ascertain where we stand as compared with othor navies of the world " Gardner and Chairman Padgett clashed on the subject of torpedoes, Padgett de clared that the navy was short only six torpedoes and Gardner Insisted that he had, a memorandum In the handwriting of an official of the navy showing that the navy has but 511 torpedoes and that approximately 2700 were needed. "I was told," said Gardner, "that ar rangements had been completed for a total of 2337 torpedoes, but that would still leave a considerable shortage. When I first went to the Navy Department to Admiral Straus' office It took nearly an houi to find out how many tubes we had In the navy. I found out that wa have only 68 long-range torpedoes In the navy "We have not even two torpedoes for each of our tubes, and these are of the short-ranga variety." Representative Gardner argued that the conflicting Information furnished by navy officials showed the need of an Investi gation such aa he la asking for. LABOR UNIONS CONDEMN $50,000 "SOP" FOR IDLE TJt;eroployed Want "Work, Not Char ity, Official Declares. The appropriation of 150,000 for the re lief of the unemployed was condemned by labor unions at meetings last night The appropriation la regarded aa a sop of In significant value to the unemployed workers of the city. The unions have In augurated it movement to compel the city to provide work for the unemployed. "We do not want soup kitchens or charity," sold Joseph B. Allan, of the Painters' Union No. 3(5, today. "The city should provide the unemployed with employment. More than 17,000,000 Is lying Idle, money which the city borrowed and for which It Is paying Interest. Why does not tne city use this money In start ing public Improvements, of which, every, body knows, there Is great necessity? What Is 150,000? it Is but a drop In tho bucket, aa far as being of any cor.je quence to the needy workera and their families Is concerned. "We are going to unite organised labor In this city In one unanimous demand," he continued. "If the people of the city are generous enough to send three relief ships to Belgium and contribute 50,000 to the Boy Scouts, they should get together and discuss ways and means of providing work for the unemployed. Charity begins at home. We, the workers, have all the sympathy In the world for the poor, starving and war-ridden Belgians. But how about our people? Let Councils keep their charity. We want employment and we demand that Councils and tha people of Philadelphia provide that employment for us to the best of their ability and In accordance with tha opportunities at hand."

The additional revenue whleh will come from the freight Increase, they said, would destroy the argument of the railroads for tho passenger Increase that added Ineome wa essential In their continued prosperity. Railroad officials, however, wera not ln cllned to grant the commuters any basis for hope that the Increases would be af fected In the leaat by the freight ruling. It was generally claimed that the rail roads now Intend to operate the two de partments Independently, and that the In creases, therefore, canhot ba considered as related, NO Hortf FOR COMMUTERS. "Tho grafting of the per cent, freight Increase wilt havo absolutely no effect Upon the passenger Ihcriase," declared George W7. Boyd, general passenger traf fic manager of the Pennsylvania Rail road Company. "We want to establish the two departments of our road on an Independent basis, and to do this we need the passenger Increase as much as the freight Increase." Theodore II. Voorheee, president of the Philadelphia and Reading Railway Com pany, would make no comment whatever on this situation. INDUSTRIES W1M, PnoFIT. Pennsylvania Industries will profit mora than those of any other Stato by tha 5 per cent, Increase, In the opinion of Director George W. Norrls, of the De partment of Wharves, Docks nnd Per ries, The Director, who was a banker before his municipal appointment, ex pressed the opinion that tho consumer will net or see the Increase and that It will not mean advance In prices. "The Industries that have been most depressed," said the director, "are thoso ulioso customers are largely the railroad companies, and this Increase therefore will help those industries that sell to the railroads The Increase will probably do mor good to Pennsylvania than any other State, because this State Is the lead er In such poods as rails, cars, engines, bolts and nuts With the Increase of 6 per cent, the railroads will havo more money to buy these commodities." "The freight rate Incrcneo allotted by the Interstate Commcroo Commission will have a beneficial effect generally on all the business Interests of the country," said N. B, Kelly, secretary of the Cham ber of Commerce "The action of the Commerco Commis sion will result In a much more comfort able feeling In all lines of business," ha said. "It will be an Inducement to do business and an Incentive to Increased activity, because business men and manu facturers realise that the railroads will place orders for supplies and new aqulp ment that thsy have been holding up while the case, was psndlng. The effect of the rate Increase will not be limited to the railroads. I think we ran look for a general Improvement In business conditions and a new awakening," "I am glad for any decision that would bring prosperity to the people of Penn svlvanla," was the only comment of Governor-elect Martin a Brumbaugh, when told of the freight Increase de cision. Nathan T. Folwell, president of the Manufacturers' Club, said: "When the railroads are prosperous, the country Is prosperous. If the Inter state Commerce Commission, after Its In vestigation, found that the rallroac needed the Increase, I believe they should have It. The stocks and bonds of the rallrnids are owned by the people throughout the country, and I feel that with Increased revenues the railroads will begin Improvements, and that busi ness generally will become better aa the result of tha decision.',' VIEWS OF DEALERS. Officials of the George B, Newton Coal Company said tha Inclusion of coal In the rate advanoe would have meant the con sumer would have had to stand for the In creased cost of shipment from mine to cellar. Trank Kelley, a Philadelphia Irqn dealer, said: - ' "I know that the anthracite and coke rates ars already pretty high, and t sup pose that Is the reason no Increase was allowed on shipping rate for those tno classes. In the case of Iron, however, I cannot assign any excuse for the ex emption. Bates for shipping Iron are lower now than they hava been In the past The rates are variable, and Just at present very favorable." Mr. Kelley belteed that there would have been only temporary consequences even If the rates had been allowed for coal and Iron "A few buyers, who have orders placed now, would probably ask shippers to pay an Increase," he said, "but beyond a temporary Inconvenience I. do not think there would hava been any effect of Increase in coal and Iron rates." Commenting on the decision, William T. TUden, president of the Union League, said: "If thla action, In conjunction with the Increase In passenger rates, reduces tha business of the railroads In both branchea of their work, wherein ara they bene fited? The easy movement of people and commodities Is certainly more or less curtailed by the decision, "A a business man X have never asked nor received favors from the railroads, and I must take my ehanco along with the rest of my competitors, which I am perfectly willing to do "It seem that the tendency of tha times is to make It as hard aa possible for a business man to be successful, I want It to be distinctly understood, In making this remark, that I have never been, am not now and do not expect (o become a millionaire." "The 5 per cent Increase Is the best thins; that could happen to the railroads and to business generally all over ths country, ' said an official of the J. G. Brill Company, car and truck builders. "It will give the railroads an opportu nity to 'catch up' and will make business prosperous The railroads have been unable to borrow money because they did riot furnish good security. The Increase Will Siv enough confidence to allow thanj to float any bonda they may require In financing tbelr business. ' An Increase In general business will follow, Mora equipment wilt ba needed by the railroads The comparites making tha equipment will require additional em ployes, who. with money to spend, will bensflt their cities. "Many Industrie will ba benefited di rectly and Immediately, while on others the effeet will ba Indlreat and will require some tint. For example, w expect an Indirect bensflt In about six months. With better ton to business, mora people will rid on trolley ears." JOHNSON PREDICTS PROSPERITY. Ths commission's daauioa will aid the way to prosperity, la th opinion ef Alba, Johnson, prtsldsnt of th Baldwin Loco motive. Works.

The value td business ef the rata Increase Is not limited to the railroads. "Next to agriculture, the railroad busi ness is the blggtst Industry of tha coun try. Th rate Increase la due to th rec ognition on th part of th Commission of a demand for higher rates, which In' eluded even shippers. If th Commission had not listened to the universal demand the future would hava been at stakt." Senator Penrose said! "I have no doubt th allowing of In creased rates will be of some benefit to the railroads. "In th first place, there has been such nn Intermlnabl delay 'and such a vacil lating -course taken by the Interstate Commerce Commission that the tlma has passed When tbe relief sodght might have contributed to a substantial Improve ment In conditions. "Moreover, the baslo reason for the present hard times and the army Cf un1 employed are not In any tyay affected by the Increase In freight rates. The Indus trial depression Is due primarily to the Underwood tariff law. "It la not reasonable to aunnose that Increasing rates tlll stimulate the fur nishing of freight to tha thousands of freight ears now lylng'ldle on the tracks," IS. T, Bt6tesbury said lfU this 1f ttrnoon that he had nothing to say regarding th action of the Interstate Commerce Com mission and that hH would confer 'on th matter with the other Philadelphia and Reading officials before making any statement. P. R. -R. GAINS AFFECTED. The commission's exception of anthra cite and bituminous coal, CQke and ores seriously affects the gains made by tho Pennsylvania Railroad by the decision. The company's report for 1913 shows that tha total of shipments carried wa 18J,503, 553 tons. Of this amount more than 50 per cent, would have come under th ex ception granted, as the report shows that th total tonnage of coal, coke and ore was 82,515,142 tons. In other words, had tho commission' decision been given last year only 63,M7,tu tons of the company's total shipments would have been affected. "INCKEASE WILL NOT SOLVE PROBLEM," SAYS SMITH NDW YORK, Dec. l.-rrsld"nt A. H. Smith, of the New York Central, said. "As nearly as I can ascertain from pre liminary reports which have been re ceived the commission has granted an Increase of perhaps a little more than half of the, tonnage, It will help the railroad situation, and It-should also pro inoto general confidence for the future "The commission has recognised not only the need of the railroads but the effect upon railroad conditions generally at tho present time. The Increase now granted 1U not solve tho transportation problem of the day, but In view of all circumstances tho commission haa evi dently done what It thought wise. W aro thankful for the help given and will endeavor to make the beat possible use of It" FREIGHT RATE DECISION ' PLEASES THE PRESIDENT WASHINGTON, Dec, ll.-No attempt was made at the White House to conceal the satisfaction felt over th action of the Interstate Commerce Commission. It long ago haa been known that tha President was strongly In favor' of th Increase In freight rates. H had told personal friends that It was his firm conviction that the railroads, In tha existing state of commerce, needed a greater return If Improvements wr to be made and the transportation of the country was to be maintained at Its ex isting efficiency. The President was not at tha executive office when the opinion was Issued. He nas plajlng golf, but It Is understood he was apprised of the tenor of the de cision before he left the White; House. UNIFORM COLD STORAGE LAW Asked by President of Philadelphia Warehousing'' Concern. A strong plea for uniform cold storage laws was made today by J, A, Oelsi, president of the Philadelphia Warehous ing and Cold Storage Company, to the Pennsylvania Legislative Commission which Is Investigating the cold storage situation in relation to food products. Evidence was furnished by Mr. Qelsx shorn Injr how cold storage warehouses In other States have solicited business from farmers and produce dealers in Pennsyl vania. The dealers, he said, are asked to ship their produce out of Pennsylvania Into other States to escape the drastic provisions of the Pennsylvania law, which limits cold storage of eggs to eight months, of poultry to nine months and of butter to 10 months. There U no such limit placed on cold storage products In Wisconsin, he said. MONEY ORDERS SHOW DECLINE Material Reduction in International Business.

Among thos who met with th Football CommltUe were Carl William nnd Doctor Torrey. Tho reversion to the "Ponn system" means that next season and probably for soma years to coma tho old method of attack and defense will be used, The system provides certain definite plnys for ery mah on the eleven, both on the of fense and on the defense. Durlnsr th four lears ending In 1907 the "Penn system" was successfully used. Of course.
