LACK SEARCHLIGHTS
None of Atlantic Coast Defenses suf-
ficientIy Equipped to Resist Night
Attack - Sensation in Military Cir.
eles Caused by Startling State

Washington, April ia statement
from the commander of the artillery in
, the district of Boston, that the night
exercises in connection with the ap-
preaching joint drills of Massachusetts
and regular coast artillery men, next
July, will be impossible for lack of
searchlights, has caused something of
a sensation in military circles. 1t ap-
pears that the successor the defensive
work of the great Qualifications in Bos-
ton harbor is entirely dependent upon
the operation of three searchlights,
two being "a inches and one 36-inch
light. These lights are declared by ar
tillery men to be ridiculollsly inade-
quate, in view of the fact that the
present standard of coast defense
ssearchlight is sixty inches in diameter.
The state of affairs at Boston is said
to be that which exists at the principal
defenses along the Atlartic coast.
There are very few sixty-inch search
lights in position, and none of the de-
lenses is sufficiently equipped to resist
night attack. General Murray, chief
of the artillery, estimates taat at the
seventeen years must elapse before all
the coast defenses can be supplied with
enough sixty Inch lights to comply
with the demands of modern artillery
and naval defense.

TO .RETALIATE
imposition Of Maximum Duties on cof-
fees From United States Only the
Beginning Of Trade War to Force
Reciprocity.

Washington, April 17.-Altho notice
of the issue of yesterday in Paris OF
the decree imposing maximum duties
on coffees imported from the United
States and Porto Rico has not yet
reached the state department. the Off
cials have been fully prepared for some
such action, having been informed in
the course of correspondence which has
been going on for the past six months
that it was contemplated The rea-
son for the issue of the decree is said
to be dissatisfaction of the French
government at the failure of the United
States senate to act upon the French
reciprocity treaty, which has been
pending before that body for several
years. The decree is regarded as the
beginning of a systematic effort to
bring such pressure to bear upon the
American congress thru the imposition
of restrictions upon American export
trade as will force the whole subject
of reciprocity upon it's attention at the
beginning of the next session. The
state department officials fear the ac.
ton is but a precursor of similar at
tacks upon American trade by other
nations of continental Europe.

New York. 9 IA race under
water for p, If $4,0o0,000. That's
the unique contes, scheduled to be held
bay next week. The race is to be be-
tween two submarine boats, and on the
result depends the decision of the Uni
ted States government as to which
type shall be adopted in the construc-
ton of the proposed new submarine
war ships.
The Octopus. of the John P. Holland
type, and the Lake. designed by Simon
Lake are the contestants. In addition
to the two chief performers, the first
submarine fiotilla, in command of Lieu
tenant Charles p. Nelson. consisting OF
the Porpoise, which Lieutenant Nelson
commands; the Shark, Lieutenant
Lloyd S. Shapley. and the Plunger.
Lieutenant Guy w. Castle. will be on
hand to police the course
1t has been the ambition of Simon
Lake for years to beat Holland, and
now that he is given a chance under
the most favorable auspices the Lake
is being groomed with the utmost care.
In a preliminary canter on the surface
the other day the Lake made eight and
one-half miles an hour against a strong
wind. The admirers of the Lake think
that this is good enough jockeying to
win the decision Of the naval referees
and judges.

PEACE MEN RESOLVE
National Peace Congress Recommends
Making The Hague Conference Per.
manent, and Other Steps for inter-
national Arbitration Of Disputes.

New York, April 17.-The nationa.
arbitration and peace congress today
adopted its platform, Or resolutions,
recommending, among other things,
after be permanent institution; that
The Hague court shall be open to all
nations of the world; that a general
t1;eaty of arbitration for ratification by
all nations shall be drafted by the
coming conference; providing for ref
erence to The Hague court of interna-
tional disputes which cannot be ad-
justed by diplomacy; that the United
States government urge upon the con-
ference action looking to the limitation
of armament; that the conference ex-
tend to private property at sea immun-
ity from capture in war.
The resolutions speak highly in
praise of President Roosevelt, Secretary
Root and the prime minister of Great
Britain for the stand they have taken
in favor of settled policy Of peace
among the nations
The resolutions were adopted with
few minor changes as to wording
just as they came from the commit
tee, which had their preparation in
charge. There was a debate contin-
uing over two hours, however. Among
the participants was William j.
Bryan.
II came here" he said, "to see that
one idea which I regard as the most
important of all was carried out, and
that was that all disputes not subject
to adjustment by diplomacy should be
referred to international arbitration.
This has been incorporated in the res
olutions just as it was adopted by the
nterparliamentary union in London
last July, when twenty-six nations
were represented. I regard this as a
long step toward the elimination of
war y
"There is one other subject which
would have been pleased to see in
corporated in your resolutions, but
which the committee has not deemed
wise That is. the time has come when
the lending of money to a belligerent
by neutral state should be regarded
as being as Objectionable as furnish
ing powder for shot and shell. 1t is
wrong in principle, which allows few
money lenders to profit by the distress
of nations"

police offered to let him go without
prosecution II he would tell where he,
had hidden the monex, Gunderson said
he could not remember what he had
done with 1t. Gunderson claimed he
had been drinking and did not remem-
ber what had happened during the
might.
Gunderson has been employed by the
Northern Express company, but was
recently discharged. He is said to
have been familiar with the details sof
the office, and knew package con-
tanning 325,oO0 was going to Duluth on
the night train last night

the office, says Gunderson came to the
office about 9 O'clock and appeared to

jovial mood. He remained there until
everyone but Zimmerman and the por-
ter had left. Then Gunderson gave the
porter some money and told him to get
a bottle of whisky az he was going
away on the train and wanted to take
it with him. AS soon as the porter
disappeared Gunderson covered zim-
merman with a revolver and commands
ed him to open the safe and hand out
the package. Zimmerman said he knew
Gunderson was in earnest, and com-
piled with the request. Gurderson
then backed out Of the Office, and COM
manded Zimmerman to stand with his
face to the wall for ten minutes, on
pain of death. Zimmerman says that
as soon as .l1e was sure Gunderson had
departed he notified the police.

Allen is one of the fusion leaders of

said: There are several unconstitu-
