PLAN TO BATTLE
FOR MORE SHIPS
Republicans Prepare Measure
to Make Navy Second in
Three Years
Special to the Telegraph
Washington. D. C., May 20. Repub
lican members of the House naval af
fairs committee held a meeting yester
da> to la> plans for a fight to Increase
the naval building: program agreed to
by the Democrats.
Coincident with this meeting of the
Republicans was one of the Demo
cratic leaders of the House, who said
there 110 longer was any reason why
the naval bill should go over until after
the Democratic national convention, in
view of the fact that the little navy men
had open satisfied in committee. Sev
ern 1 days ago it was stated that Presi
dent \\ ilson wanted the measure to go
over, in order that the convention
might endorse it and thereby pave the
way for the small navy Congressmen
from the South and West to support it
Majority Leader Kitchin, himself op
posed to material increases in the na
tional defenses, said that the measure
I* s satisfactory to all Hemorrats and
that a rule would be reported for its
immediate passage not later than
Thursday of next week.
A\ 111 Fight For Program
The Republican members of the rom
nilttee at their meeting decided to make
n thll House for a program
which they submitted to the committee
yesterday and which the committee re
jected by a straight part'- vote of 13
to S.
This program is one approved by the
general board of the navy to bring the
American sea forces back to second
place in a period of three years. It calls
for the construction of two dread
nauarhts. six battle cruisers, six scout
cruisers. twenty-eight destroyers
thirty-five submarines, five of a 'sea
going type two gunboats and one each
of hospital, fuel, oil and ammunition
snips, es well as an increase of 25 000
In the personnel, in order to give each
fighting vessel a full complement and
make it unnecessary to put efficient
ships in tho reserve In order to fill up
the crews of other fighters by trans
ferring their men.
Illgarer Aviation Appropriation
'■he Republicans will also seek to
I.rive the appropriation for the aviation
service raised from $2,000,000 to $3 500 -
COO. as recommended hv the general
board. In addition. the\ will attempt
to gvt the House to limit the time of
construction for all vessels authorized
In the program In order that the navv
may be rushed to completion.
In preparing their protest on the
Democratic compromise program the
Republicans will point out that it Is
•Wholly unbalanced and disapproved bv
every naval expert who appeared be
fore the committee.

SEVEN BIG TABLES
I FOR THE RETURNS
State Department Gets Ready
For the Compilation of
Official Votes
Se\en big sheets, some containing
1 over thirty names, have been prepared
lat tlie department of the Secretary of
the Commonwealth for the listing of
the returns by counties of the vote at
j the primary election on Tuesday. I
These tables are the largest ever made '
j at the Capitol for entering returns «nd i
are due to the big lists of candidates '
i for delegates and alternates at large, I
I the numerous candidates for Congress i
i at large and the se\eral nominations I
which the people at large must make
' under the new law.
It is not expected that the official!
J count can be completed within three
I weeks, judging from experience in for- !
mer years. Some of the smaller conn
ties and some which have less than '
100,000 population have been requir- j
ing as long as Philadelphia and Alle- !
ghenv to complete returns. Letters ]
have been sent out to county commis- ;
! sioners urging immediate counting of
votes for delegates and alternates and
State committeemen so that the results !
: may be certified In time.
Schuylkill county was first to report'
] last year, taking the laurels which
j were formerly held by Northumber

REAL ESTATE
ONLY 2 BRIEFS
MUST BE FILED
Attorneys Representing Hard
scrabble Property Owners
Preparing Papers
With tlie exception of 1-5. Frank
Xead and George H. Barnett, all the
attorneys concerned in the "Hard
sera Ijble" i-ondemnution appeal case
have filed their briefs with the Dau
phin county court and as soon as these
two lawyers finish the preparation of
their papers the great bundle of data
will be turned over to the judges for
consideration.
Members of the bar as well as real
estate men look l'or an early decision
on the subject although it is generally
appreciated that the court's "work is
never done" and that both judges are
constantly busy in chambers when
not sitting on the bench.
The fact that many of the interested
property owners are desirous of ascer
taining definitely just what they shall
do relative to their properties has pre
sented an interesting phase of the
problem. As soon as the legal ends
of the tangle are straightened out it
is expected that the city will proceed
with the filing of condemnation bonds
and it is known that City Commis
sioner W. H. Lynch, superintendent of
streets and public improvements, is
ready to proceed with the razing of
buildings as soon as the city takes
over the properties. This means that
the residents of the "Hardscrabble"
district must have ample time to look
about for new homes. The unsettled
situation consequently is causing some
annoyance, it Is said, among those
who have been negotiating for other
properties.
Within another month or six weeks
the court will rest for its vacation and
it is the hope of the attorneys and
others interested in the city's next big
improvement proposition, to have the
whole problem practically settled by
that time if possible—at least so far
as the legal end of the controversy is
concerned.

BUSY ON PLOTS
IN THE SUBURBS
New Water Pipe Is Being Laid
in Bellevue; Other Projects
Near Town
Work was begun yesterday by the
city water department on the con
struction of the new water pipe lines
In the Bellevue Park section.
Council at its meeting last week ap
proved the contract as recommended
for the pipe line construction by City
Commissioner H. F. Bowman, super
intendent of public safety, and the
successful bidder was ready to set
busy at once. The completion of the
new water lines in half a dozen of the
rapidly developing streets is only one
of the big improvements which are on
the 1916 program of development in
the smaller suburbs of the city.
Paving and other improvement
work is being pushed ahead as rapidly
as the labor situation will allow as the
question of obtaining sufficient help
is still a mighty serious one. Inci
dentally the same situation applies to
carpentering and other jobs in which
building contractors are interested.
In the outskirts of the city the new
development projects are being sold
or builWUp. Two or three new tracts
which are to be developed in accord
ance with the general city plan as
mapped out by the Planning Com
mission, are awaiting tlnal approval
of that commission. Thees include the
W. S. Harris and the Lower Walton
farm sections of the McCormick
estate in Cumberland county. The
Planning Commission was to have met
a few days ago to take up these prob
lems but no quorum was present.
