TO VISIT THE WEST INDIES.
Proposed Trip by Congressional Naval
Committees on the Dolphin.

Unless detained in Washington by an ex-
ira session of Congress made necessary by
the failure to enact the army reorganiza-
ton bill the members of the Senate and
House naval committees, or at least as
many of them as can spare the time, Will
make a visit to the principal ports of Cuba
and Porto Rico. The trip will be made on
the United States ship Dolphin. which is
admirably adapted to the accommodation
of a small party.
The committeeman purpose visiting Ha-
vana and San Juan especially to look at the
naval stations there and ascertain from
personal observation just what is needed
run around into the gulf and up the Mis-
the Navy Department has just placed a
floating dry dock. The naval station at
Pensacola and that at Key West will also
be inspected
OF course, in the event of an extra ses-
sion, Secretary Alger will be compelled
to abandon the trip he has projected to
Cuba and Porto Rico with the military
committees of the two houses of Congress
on board the Berlin, and it is even posi-
bic. owing to the state of affairs in the
Philippines and the probable necessity for
great deal of work to put the new army
bill into effect should it become law
that he will be unable to go in the event
that there is no extra session. 1t is not
certain. however, that his withdrawal
would prevent the other members of the
party from making the trip

MIR. DOCkERY WAS ANGRY.
objection Made to Printing His Re.
marks in the Record

In a quiet way Representative Dockery
showed more anger today than his col
leagues have ever before detected in him
He is often vigorous. and his voice has an
aggressive ring in it, but he is amiabIe
even when most earnest in his manner
Today he asked permission to extend his
remarks in the Record. There was great
confusion in the House at the time and
some one asked what remarks.
He did not respond to this inquiry. and
when the request was submitted a member
on the republican side said:
If the gentleman won't say what re-
marks he wants to extend l object"
The Speaker then announced that there
was objection
II is seldom that objections of this sort
are interposed except for some well-under-
stood reason, and older members like Mr.
Dockery do not expect To have the cour-
teSy denied them or TO be catechized when
they make a request.
Mr. DOckery grew very red in the face
and that he was offended was so evident
that the objecting member went over 10
make explanation. As lie stopped over i'm
a most cOnCiliatory manner Mr. Docke-V
waved him aside with a sweep of the naud
What was said could not be heard in the
gallery, but the pantOmime was sufficient
The apologist stepped back. and then. in
the attitude of protestation, approached
the MissOurian again.
Mr.. Dockery's face then became scarlet

left no room for doubt about the intensfty

TO THAW OUT FROZEN PIPES
Prof Wood Explains the Process by Use of
Electricity.
New Discovery Reing Put to Practical
Test Every Day in Madi-
son, Wis.

MADISON, Wis, February 22-Prof r.
W. Wood of the University of Wisconsin
said today: In view of the wide extent of
the water famine, due to frozen pipes and
the number of communications that we
have received for more explicit information
about the electrical method of removing ice
from the pipes, the following details are
of int arest:
The second house to which the process
was applied was that of Senator w F.
Villas, where there was Il stretch of 300
feet of soidly frozsn pipe between the
house and the main. One of the wires was
connected TO the pipe where it enters the
cellar and the other carried to a faucet on
the outside of a neighboring house across
the street. From this faucet the current
traVersed the service pipe to the street,
flowed along the main and then followed
the BOD feet of frozen pipe to the cellar
connection. In twenty minutes from the
time that the current was turned on there
was full head of water flowing from the
faucet in the cellar.
The street main was not frozen in this
case, of course. The frozen pipe was only
heated to about 90 degrees Fahrenheit, but
this was quite sufficient to rapidly clear out
the ice The apparatus used must be care
fully adapted to the work required of it.
anu iiit'9I nc pIppSlly pptf dtel, Dul the pro-
cess is perfectly simple and may be car
ried on by any intelligent workman after
he has been properly instructed
The method is now being used in Madison
by arrangement with Professor Jackson
and myself, the process being in full opera
ton today, thawing out the service con-
nections of two houses at time, without
disturbing the pipes, ground or street paw
ing.
In conclusion l must say that the Papers
should have given equal credit to Professor
Jackson who planned the apparatus W hich
we used, and who worked with me in the
experimental demonstration which proved
such q success

to the House. and there being no objection
he directed the clerk to read it, There was

The reading occupied forty-five minutes
At its conclusion there was very hearty
applause from the floor and the galleries.
Mr.. Hemenway Ind0 presented the con-

tween the two houses

The House then went into committee of
the whole and resumed the consideration

ment offered by Mr.. Boutelle fixing the
maximum cost of armor plate for which
s4.0oo900 was appropriated in the pending
bill a S545 per ton.
Mr.. Sherman On ". who was in the
chair. overrued the point of order
Mr.. Boutelle thereupon took the floor in
support of his amendment, explaining the
circumstances which had led the commit

OF armor plate to s54J He recalled the
fact that Mr.. Hopkins in a former Con-
gress, had specifically stated that the I'LL
nolS steel Company was prepared to fur

said he felt certain at the time that this
was bogus proposition.

ASK AMERICAN PROTECTION
Commissioners From Island of Negroes Call
On Gen. Otis.
Stars and Stripes Already Raised Over
the Island - Movements

MANILA, February %, 1915 p.m.-While
the guns on the city walls and those on
board the ships of Rear Admiral Dewey $
fleet in the bay fired salute in honor of
Washngton's birthday, four commissioners
from the Island of Negroes had an inter-
view with Maj. Gen. Otis and informed
him that the American flag had already
been raised over that island and that it's
inhabitants were ready, anxious and will
ing to accept any proposition the Ameri-
cans might offer.
The insurgents have been driven from the
island entirely. Although the Iloilo rebels
have given the people of Negroes much
trouble. especially in the matter of finan-
cial assistance demanded by the rebel lead
ers, the inhabitants of Negroes have per-
sistently held aloof. and now, through the
commissioners, announce that they want
the advice and help of Gen. Otis. The lat
ter assured them that the Americans would
provide an acceptable government, ana IN
the meantime. he instructed them not to
pay the rebels anything. The Negroes COM
mSsioners were delighted with their recep-
ton.
The United States cruiser Charleston is
coaling here, preparatory to starting on
cruise.
The United States gunboat Bennington
arrived here today from the Island of
Guam.
The United States transport st. Paul has
arrived here from Iloilo, but she did not
bring any news of Importance.
Secretary Alger Pleased.
DETROIT Mich February 22.-Secre-
tary Alger was surprised and gratiied to-
day on being shown the Associated Press
dispatch announcing voluntary raising OF
the United States flag by the inhabitants
of the Island of Negros. Asked his opin-
ion as to the effect upon the Philippine
campaign of this attitude of the natives of
Negroes, the Secretary replied:
I'VE cannot judge the nature of those
PARKWAY people as well as we do that or
the Cubans and Porto Ricans. 1t seems to
me- however, that this act on the part of
a representative tribe would have the ten
dency to dishearten the more hostile of the
Filipinos. 1t is gratifying news, at any
rate"

What England has done for Egypt"
said Lord Beresford. in conclusion, THE
four nations controlling China trade could
do for China. Save for it's strategic adj
yantages, Egypt has not been worth a
shilling to England. She sacrificed lives
and money to make Egypt safe and secure.
and she put the Egyptian army and police
in order of course. every nation that has
ever controlled Egypt has declared it would
get out. This led to fi20 900 000 of French
money going into Egypt, while the Greeks
also have enormous investments there"
