were discussed. One of the most important
things done was the adoption of a resolu-
ton recommending to the government,
which is the chief stakeholder, the recon-
struction of the companys steamer AiIi-

prepared plans for the reconstruction of
the ship. which will give increased cargo
and passenger capacity and also provide
cold storage facilities. This latter change
Is deemed necessary In order to maintain
an adequate food supply for the officers

supply is purchased entirely in the Unit i

The board confirmed the policy already
inaugurated by the executive officers of
extending its railroad and terminal facili-

TO PENSION MRS. HAWLEY.
After Two Hours Debate the Senate
Votes $50 a Month,

The Senate after a debate of two hours
today passed a bill granting pension of
$50 month to Edith A. Hawley, widow of
Senator and Gen. Joseph R. Hawley of
Connecticut. AS reported the bill carried
800 a month, but was amended at the sug-
gestion of Senator Buckley, who called 1t
up today. Opposition to the measure was
made by Senators McCumber. Patterson,
Carmack, Mallory and Taliaferro, while
speeches were made in it's support and in
eulogy of the late senator by Senators
Scott. Gallinger Spooner, Pettus. Black
burn. Daniel Buckley, Brandegee, Bacon
and Aldrich.
Senators Scott and Gallinger took occa-
sion to criticise the opposition to the meas
ure. Senator Scott charged Chairman Nc
Cumber of the pensions committee with an
tagonsm to the recent bill providing PEN
sions for army nurses and characterized
his attitude as not liberal in the matter of
pensions. Senator Gallnger regretted that
any discussion had been INDUCED in. 1t
was poor tribute. he said, to the memory
of Senator Hawley. especially as the sum
was 'paltry one
Senator McCumber based his opposition
to the measure on the ground that 1t vio-
lated the rules of the committee. Mrs.
Hawley. he said, was living in Europe, and
admitted the possession of property to the
value of $J9.OOO. If voting his sentiment. he
said he would support the bill. but it set
precedent which would cause much trouble
and many demands on the pension commit
