PRESIDENT'S FOES WIN
INITIAL SKIRMISH ON
PREPAREDNESS PLAN
Padgett Bill to Double Naval
Academy Blocked How
ever, "Defense" Believed
Certain to Carry
BIG NAVY PRIME TASK
WASHINGTON. Jan .11. The anli-prc-parcdnesi
forces won first blood on tho
floor of the Itoas" this afternoon when
they prevented consideration of the
Padgett bill Increasing by one-half the
number of cadets at the naval academy
The hill wa reported at the retiuest of
the navy department on the ground that
the additional officers provided arc urgent
ly needed. Hy skillful maneuvering the
opponents of hc bill side-tracked It In
favor of the Indian appropriation bill and
It utnnot be reached again this week
However. It appears certain that Presi
dent Wilson will rcI his demanded naval
lncreaes-an Increase In the Held and
coast artillcrv nf the country and the men
who will benefit most b.v this preparedness I
move win piy tin' hills That was tho
opinion lodav not only of Admlnlsttallon
leaders here, but also of many political
chiefs, who nt heart are strongly opposed
to tho presidential program of prepared
ness. Tho speeches being made by the Presi
dent are already declared to be bearing
fruit. Middle Western niul Southern Sena
tors and Consjrcsmen who have been
working undor cover to sidetrack any
real Incroarp of the army and navy nro
beginning "to hear fioin the cornfields."
It was learnfd today.
Hack home the people are becoming Im
pressed that there Is an actual need for
nt least ,i big nary, according to several
of tho chiefs of the secret opposition, and
today the Administration leaders wore
elalmln,' a clear majority In both houses
for the naval program before the Presi
dent nets back here l-'ildny afternoon.
THE NAVV I-'IHST.
The big suggestion that has provided a
"get toRcUicr" plan for spending money
on the navy has been the statement that
a way yet will be found
to get around I
the constitutional provision that hereto
fore has teemed to mako munitions manu
facturers eNcinpt from an Internal leve
nue lax. Some of the sharpest legal
minds In Consress aro working on this
proposition and thy Insist that when they
get through they will have a bill that
will make It possible to force munitions
manufactuiers to pay most of tho nation's
bills and at the same time exempt sup
plies purchased by the United States.
It Is realised that President Wilson will
ingly will inipport such a tax If It legally
can be Imposl. -
So far. however. It seems likely tract
only the naval p! s and pait of tho army
program, which provides for much need
ed field artillery and for the replacing of
coast ciiuipmcnt with much higher
powered armament and mobile nrtlllcry
mounted on armored trains, will get con
gressional approval.
AltMV PLANS SECONDARY.
The little army men are in the saddle
In the House and they arc opposed to the
Administration's plan of a larger army.
They will likely consent to appropriations
that will bring the national guard up to
date and that will create a reserve store
of rllles. liut that is about as for as they
are likely to go under picsent conditions.
The President's statement that the
"navy Is the first line of defense" will be
accepted as a reason why all the cash
available at picsent jhoulil be expended
cm bringing it up to date.

Tho Director spoke sharply of the past
doings of ward leaders. No detectives
or act'ng detectives will be named as a
favor to these politicians, he said. A
man must show aptitude for the work of
detecting crime and criminals, whether
ho Is valuable to any olio politically or
not.
"Will jou divide the Detective Bureau
In'.j two forces, as has been intimated,
Director?"
"1 have several plans in view." said
Mr. Wilson, "and I don't care to say
what i shall do till I have decided every
detail."
ft has been expected that the Director
will ask Councils for an appropriation for
two or three lieutenants of detectives to
receive S:!00 more than the detective's
salary of $1700. bit as to this he would
not state his Intentions. It Is believed
that there will be a big weeding out of

1100 EMPLOYES IDLE
WHEN MILL IS CLOSED
Dissatisfaction Among Em

Shut Down Plant
NOimiSTOWN, Pa.. Jan 31 James
Lees & Sons Company, manufactuiers
of woolen and worsted arti.s. shut down
their large mills In llrldgeport this morn
ing Indefinitely when the tlrm saw what
they thought was trouble brewing among
tho 1100 emplojcs, mostly girls, 300 of
whom crippled the plant last week by
walking out when tlieyv made demands
for certain conditions which were not
clear to the ilrm
A member of the tlrm said that the
firm had Increased the wages of all em
ployes last week fioin 10 to 12 per cent,,
but that this Increase did not appear to
satisfy them, and when they appeared at
the mill for work today their attitude
was such that it was tluiiiKht best to
close down until a conference could bo
held and a better understanding reached.
As most of the employes are foreigners,
the llrm tried to-get the borough author
ities to safeguard the mills by stationing
policemen in the mill-yard to prevent
violence. This request was refused, as
was also a request made to the sheriff of
Montgomery county for a number of dep
uty sheriffs.

It is strong, durable, reliable, good to look at. In every

To you who want a tire that is effective, efficient in the
