By the Associated Press. The conference report adjusting dif- ferences between the Senate and House on the Navy Department appropriation bill was adopted late yesterday by the Senate and sent to the House after a | threat of fililbuster had given leaders another scare. House approval of the report will send the Navy bill, carrying $12,370,000 for starting “the cruiser program, to the White House. Senator Blaine, Repub- lican, Wisconsin, forced the report aside in the Senate carly in the day, but when it came up later, the opposition collapsed. Faced with an apparent filibuster, leaders had armed themselves with a petition to invoke the seldom used cloture rule shutting off debate. But with a night session appearing as a possibility, the opposition yielded and a vote was permitted. A ‘The naval bill provides $200,000 fcv starting work at once on the first five of the 15 cruisers. Another $200,000 would be available after July 1, for beginning the second complement of five cruisers and the airpiane carrier. Leaders Relieved. With the Navy supply measure finally out of the way. leaders breathed a| sigh of relief. Tt was the most con-| troversial of the three appropriation measures awaiting disposition, Iow- | ever, thers is the prospect of a pro- tracted dispute over the Interior De partment bill, This measure has been passed by | both the Senate and House, but there is conflict between the two branches on | a House provision to authorize the| Secretary of Interior to condemn any property in national parks. Senators Walsh and Wheeler, Democrats, Mon- tana, are opposed to this stipulation. Approaching the last hours of the session it was the intention of Senator Curtis of Kansas, the Republican leader. to give the vital appropriation bills full right of way to assure their disposition and avold their consideration in the extra session. General Legislation Abandoned. Senator Vandenberg, Republican. Michigan, in charge of the bill for reapportionment of the House member- ship, announced he would call up that measure as soon as the supply bills were acted upon, but leaders have little belief it will 1each a vote. Virtually all general legislation, except the bill of Senator Watson, Republican, Indiana, to extend the administrative powers of the Radio Commission for another year, has been abandoned in the drive for adoption of the necessary supply measures. Senator Watson is prepared to invoke the cloture rule on the radio bill if necessary. However, any legislation of Pesley PHeights Located at one of the highest points—surrounded by towering trees and pretty planting. 4555 Cathedral Avenue Three bedrooms and two baths; open fireplace ; maid's room and bath; two-car garage.

An adequate public school sys- tem, more efficlent pumps for sailing | vessels, better and cheaper methods of | heating rooms and the prevention of | decay in peach trees—subjects which today seem prosaic—those were the problems which cried to science for solu- tion a century and a quarter ago and | on. which the American Philosophical Soclety centered its attention. “It is true,” said Dr. Dercum, “that the stock-taking of that day was much more limited in scope and more materfalistic in intent than the one Wwe are now embarked upon, yet its pur- pose was the same—to ascertain the day’s needs and to develop a program designed to help meet them.” The soclety’s first stock-taking, accord- | ing to Dr. Dercum. was authorized at the meeting of February 6, 1795, as is' | shown by the following excerpt from | the minutes of that date: | “‘Council recommended to allot a cer- tain sum to be disposed of in premiums to the authors of the best essays or performances on certain specific subjects of useful knowledge to be proposed | annually by the society. Recommenda- | tion adopted and the council or any five of them to report at the first meeting | in March on the papers on hand." I Diamond Monocle Startling.
