Delays the Proceedings by Taking an
Appeal

VERSAILLES, May 2a.-The second
trial Of NJ. lola on the charge Of criminal
libel. contained In charges which he
brought against the officers who conducted
the Esterhazy court-martial. commenced
In the Assize Court here. But few of the
general public were admitted within the
precincts Of the court and rigorous mea-
sures were adopted to preserve order.
There was no incident upon the arrival Of
the accused.
M. Laborie, counsel for M. lola, imme-
diately questioned the competency Of the
court on the ground that the alleged offense
was committed in Paris, and that only a
Partisan jury was competent to try the
case.
Prooureur General Bertrand, of the Paris
court, who acts as public prosecutor, up
held the competency of the court. He safd
to M. Laborie: You desire to prolong
matters. but we intend to end the case. Be
assured that the country has had enough
do you hear-of this perilous agitation"
The court then upheld its competency to
try the case. whereupon M. Laborie an
nounced that he appealed to the court Of
cessation upon that point.
The trial was then adjourned pending
the hearing on the appeal. On leaving the
court M. lola was greeted with cries Of
Down with Zola." intermingled with
cheers for lola and cheers for the army.

ONE WAR RESULT
3 an Increased Demand for an Isthmus
Canal


NEW YORK, May ga dispatch to the
World from Washington says:
Congress will soon be called upon to de-
eide the question of building a canal con-
Meeting the Atlantic and Pacific oceans.
Chairman Davis Of the Senate Foreign Re-
iations Committee said:
1.-THE need for connection between the
Atlantic and Pacific cannot be questioned.
Our interests demand 1t. With a canal be-
tween the two oceans we would have
nothing to fear from an attack on our
Pacific coast. AS 1t is, 1t would take us
sixty days to send our fleet around the
Horn to the Pacific coast cities. With the
canal we could dispatch men of war to
San Francisco from New York In fourteen
days.
with a liberal appropriation, say $780,,
100000, a canal could be constructed
through Nicaragua that would be of value
to the United States government for all
time to come. The Maritime Canal Com
pany, which is endeavoring to sell Its in
terests to the government, started the
canal some years ago, and considerable
wrok was done, but the hard times of
1923 came along and struck death blow
to the enterprise.
"This company succeeded in getting GER
tain concessions which 1t still retains, and
it is but right that the United States should
buy these concessions and pay the canal
company for the work it has already done.
do not know how much it accomplished,
but am told that considerable excavation
has been done on the Pacific side Of the
canal. The company has some dredges.
scows, etc., which we could well afford to
buy

Members Of Congress Will Do Actual
Fighting

WASHINGTON. May 23.-Two Repre-
sentatives in Congress. Messrs Robbins OF
Pennsylvania and Broussard of louisiana,
were given authority today to go to the
front in the Cuban invasion. Mr.. Edward
Everett Robbins called on the President
today and spent but a few minutes with
him before he went over to the Secretary
of War for his assignment. He bore with
him written order to appoint Hon. z. E.

resents the Twenty-ffth Pennsylvania
District. was Major and Quartermaster of
the Second Brigade, State militia. He
served ten years in the militia, and when
four regiments Of his old brigade were or
dered to move forward for the invasion of
Cuba he determined to go with them.
Representative Broussard of the Third
Louisiana District announced his inten-
ton of entering the army long ago, and
today the President authorized him to raise
a company of Louisiana immunes prepared
to Immediately join the Cuba invasion
forces. The two members, while away,
will be paired In the House, Mr.. Robbins
representing heavy Republican district,
and Mr.. Broussard a strong Democratic
district.

IN THE HOUSE
The Day Chiefly Given to District
Affairs

WASHINGTON, May 23-The day In
the house was devoted chiefly to the con-
sideration OF District of Columbia legisla-
ton. Two bills Of minor Importance af-
fecting the, volunteer military were passed.
The senate bill providing for the pay.
ment Of volunteers from their enrolment,
and authorizing the secretary of war to
pay troops embarking for Manila one
month in advance was passed.
A bill authorizing the construction Of
a railway bridge across the Missouri al
Quindaro, Kas., by the Kansas City,
Northeastern and Gulf Railway company
was passed.
The house then disposed OF number of
measures affecting the District Of Column.
bia.
The senate bill providing that officers of
the regular army who may be made staff
officers in the volunteer service shall not
vacate their offices in the regular army.
was called up by Mr.. Hull of Iowa. The
measure, 1t was explained, was amenda-
tory Of the recent general volunteer act,
and was intended to make certain that no
vacation of regular officers would follow
staff appointments from the regular army.
Pay as staff officers only would be drawn.
The bill was amended so as to include
army officers appointed to volunteer en-
gineer corps and then passed.
The house adjourned at 5:7 p. m.

AT THE WHITE HOUSE
Numerous Visitors on All Sorts of
Missions

WASHINGTON. May 2S.-Senators and
Representatives who's saw the President
early today left the White House without
cleaning any new facts about the war
situation. So far as official dispatches IN
dicated there was an entire absence of i'm
portant advices from the front. 1t was a
disagreeable, threatening day, but this
fact did not keep away throng from both
Houses OF Congress- Among them were
Senator Jones of Arkansas. Mr.. Quay of
Pennsylvania, Senator Lindsay Of KEN
lucky, Representative from the Louis
lana delegation, Representatives Curtis of
Kansas, Faris of Indiana. Langham of
Texas, and ex-senator Erglass of KAN
sas.
The Louisiana delegation, headed by
General Meyer, urged upon the President
the Importance of allowing another regi-
ment of immunes to Louisiana volunteers
There are two men being urged to head
this regiment, Lieut.. Lafitte. U. 8. A., and
John C. Wickliffe, civilian. Either one
Of these is acceptable to the delegation.
and the President has both names in con-
temptation. Senator Gear and Represen-
tative Hull of Iowa called together and
presented number of names for army ap-
pointments.

Then we have been employing harbor

to cripple the mansuvering quality Of our

Sampson seriously in his Offensive and de-

SPY SYSTEM
Not Destroyed by the Departure Of
Beruabe

Bernabe
NEW YORK, May IA dispatch to the
World from Montreal says:
Senior Juan Du Bose having said adieu
to Senior Polo y Bernabe at Quebec has re-
turned to Montreal for a brief stay pre-
paratory to settling down in Quebec for
an indefinite period to continue mis- opera
lions in the interest of the Spanish gov
eminent. In this work he will be assisted
by the former Spanish Consul at Tampa,
Fla, who fed to Quebec Immediately az
ter war was declared by the United States.
As assistant to Du Bose he will do the
clerical work in Quebec, coming to Mon
treal whenever necessary.
There was rumor that Lieut. Carranza
had remained behind, but II such be the
case he has kept under cover, United
States Consul General Billinger, who has
been absent for a few weeks, has returned
to his post. When seen In his apartments
at the Windsor Hotel he expressed relief
that Polo had retired from the scene.
The duty of looking after Du Bose, he
said, remained with the secret service de-
partment at Washington.

BOYS IN BLUE
They Need New Name in the New
Uniform

TAMPA, Fla, May 2a.-The time-honored
blue uniform Of the army is being replaced
here by the more sombre gray. The cloth
used is light twilled linen of gray-brown
color, selected after much consideration by
the authorities at Washington as most ap-
propriate for tropical campaigning.
The former heavy oblong shoulder strap
is abandoned, being replaced by trangu-
lar strip of white duck, with insignia of
metal. The collar, cuffs and facings are
also white duck, which, with broad plat
in the back and four outside pockets, give
more elaborate effect than other field uni
forms previously In use In our army.
This uniform Is not original In this coun-
try, as many foreign armies have one SINH
lar In color. design and material. Small
advance consignments of these uniforms,
which will be issued to enlisted men, have
arrived at the quartermaster's office here
Officers here hope that the entire army may
be QUILTED with lighter clothing before the
commencement of actual field operations.

fisherman reports that at o'clock yester-
day afternoon, while he was off Goniaves,

three steamers coming from the north and
bound south, going at full speed. The
distance prevented him from distinguishing
the nationality, but he saw apparently a

The Oregon and Consorts Reported at
Para

LONDON, May 23.-Lloyd's agents ct
Para, Brazil. under today's date, cables
that three American men-of-war arrived
there at O'Clock this morning from Rio
Janeiro.
The only American warships known to be
on their way from Rio Janeiro are the Orc
gon, the Marietta and the Nictheroy. The
Oregon was last reported officially by
Lloyds at Bahia, Brazil, on May Q. and she
is believed to have proceeded at midnight
the same date. The distance from Bahia
to Para is about 1900 miles, roughly speak
ing, and If Lloyds' report is correct, the
Oregon and her consorts have been steam-
ing very slowly. Other reports have placed
the Oregon at Barbados, and even nearer
still, to the United States.
