IN BIG NAVY PLAN
AMBASSADOR BRYCE SAID TO
HAVE MADE ovERTUREs FOR
ALLIANCE.
JAPAN CRISIS A FEATURE-PA
CIFlC AND ATLANTIC FLEETS
INVOLVED.

London, May 29.-Overtures looking
to a naval understanding between
Britain and America have been made
by the British government through
Ambassador Bryce in Washington.
Premier Asquith had this fact in mind
when speaking recently in what was
regarded as a cryptic manner of the
two-power standard for the British
navy. The premier hopes that such
an understanding may be reached with
the American government as shall en-
able England almost to denude the
Pacific of British warships of the
formidable class in return for giving
America certain assurances respect
ing the naval situation in the Atlantic.
To Maintain TWo-PoWer Standard.
The suggestions made by Mr. AS
quith through Ambassador Bryce fol-
low the lines lately laid down in an
article by Capt. Mahan on the inter
national naval position, which has at
tracted wide attention in authorita-
tive circles in England. The British
cabinet feels that only an understand
ing with America can enable England
10 maintain the two-power standard in
Europe.
If the Americans will look after our
interests in the Pacific said a re-
sponsible naval authority, 1--WE will
take care of all American interests in
the Atlantic and the Mediterranean.
We recognize the difficulty of Undue
ing America to break with the tradi-
ton of not entering into entangling al
liances, but we are without hope that

II. H. ROGERS WILL
FILED FOR PROBATE
WIDOW, CHILDREN AND NEAR
RELATIVES RECEIVE NEARLY
ALL HIS PROPERTY.

New York, May 29.-The will of
the late Henry HI. Rogers was filed
for probate here yesterday. The
testator leaves all of his property to
his widow, children and relatives with
the exception of 100000 willed to
the town of Fairhaven, Mass, for the
use of the primary and grammar
schools of that community.
The will gives to the widow the use
OF the New York city residence and
sets aside a trust fund of from ST.
100000 to $4,000 600 to provide an an.
nuity for her of 100000. At her
death this trust fund is to be re,
turned to the residuary estate. Mr.
Rogers leaves his residence at Fair
haven, Mass, and his real estate to
his son, Henry H. Rogers, Jr.
Various trusts ranging in amounts
from $4,000 to 100000 each and al
together aggregating $550,000, are
created for the benefit of Mr.. Rogers
collateral relatives. The income
from these trusts is to be paid to the
various benefciaries during their
lives and upon their deaths the prin-
cipal of the trust funds will revert
to the residuary estate of the testator.
Mr.. Rogers, after making these be-
quests divides his residuary estate
into four trust funds, one for the ben
eft of each of his children When the
children attain the age of 40 years
they are each to receive one-half of
the principal of the trust created for
their benefit; the other half is to be
held in trust during the life OF each
child, but the children are each given
the power to dispose of the principal
of the trust by will.
The executors of the will are Henry
H. Rogers, Jr, son of the testator:
John w Sterling of New York: Wal
ter P. Winsor OF Fairhaven, Mass,
and the Farmers Loan and Trust
company of New York.
No estimate of the value of the es-
tate was given with the filing of the
will further than statement that the
real estate is worth more than $4,000
and that the personal estate exceeds
$4,000.

FAIL TO ACT ON
PORTO RICO BILL

Washington, May 29.-The debate
on the bill amending the organic act
of Porto Rico continued in the house
yesterday. 1t was the expectation
when the senate began consideration
of the measure that it would be con-
cluded, but the membership gradually
dwindled away until there was no
quorum and as an important amend
ment limiting the operation OF the
proposed law to one year was pend
ing, the majority leader, Mr.. Payne
deemed it expedient to postpone final
action on the bill until there could be
a better attendance. The democrats
sought to Illustrate him in this pur-
pose, but were unsuccessful.
The principal speech was by Mr.
Borland of Missouri, who upheld the
Porto Rican house of delegates for re
fusing to yield its legislative rights
and pleaded for territorial govern
ment for the Porto Ricans. Messrs.
Parker of New Jersey and Payne OF
New York advocated the passage of

der of the Ottumwa choir singer
Spectators at the trial yesterday were
greatly wrought up as Chief of Pc

which Junken had made and later re-
pudia.ed. Detective John Gray also
told how Junken, describing the muir
der to him. told how the girl groaned
as the negro dragged her to an old
cellar. 1t was asserted that Junken
made the confession at the behest OF
his mother. The defense win put
Junken on the witness stand, it is
said. 1t transpired yesterday that
Junken Thursday night made futile

display over the matter, but neither
would retract his statements against
the other side.
The rural members voted almost
solidly in favor of the Irvine plant
and demonstrated the strength of
their organization in the balloting
done under the call of the house,
when they time and again prevented
adjournment. Had it been possible
to have their meals sent in, they
might have remained in session all
night, but hunger finally drove them
to raise the call.
While the call was in progress
pandemonium reigned in the house
during the intervals between votes,
and employees were powerless to pre-
the sergeant-at-arms was sent up the
center aisle by the speaker to calm
down the noisy ones, he was speed
lily routed with an avalanche of jour-
nails and papers which assailed him
on every side midst the laughter OF
the turbulent members. When one
we'll directed shot took away his eli
gar, the sergeant retired IN haste and
was not seen again until the call was
raised.
In accordance with an agreement
reached at the morning session, the
senate bills carrying appropriations
for the binding Irvine plant, were TAX
en- up as special order of business,
at $3.50 in the afternoon.
The first bill considered was the
Pearson measure, 1925, appropriating
$4,000 for the maintenance of the
Irvine plant.
Mr.. Whittet opened the debate. He
read a letter written by Mr.. Groto-
phorst of the state board of control.
in 1904, to A. T. Buckmaster of Keno
sha. in which the statement was
made that after a thorough investi-
CATION, the board had decided it was
not advisable for the state of Wiscon-
sin to embark in the twine business,
because it had proven Improbable IN
other states.

proponents of the binding Irvine plant

Madison, May %.

MdQlSOu. May 20.
1t will be a fight to the finish over
the binding Irvine proposition in the
assembly
Following an afternoon OF lmpas-
stoned debate in which charges and
countercharges of undue Influences,
threats and trading of votes were
hurled back and forth between the
opposing forces, the assembly at 5:l5
last night, by vote OF 35 to 81, re-
fused to concur in the Pearson BILL
appropriating 100000 for the equip
ment and maintenance of the state
prison Irvine plant
An instant later a call of the house
was demanded and ordered, and for
so minutes the assembly, behind
closed doors, voted ON motions to
adjourn and raise the call, quibbled
over the rules and INDUCED in horse
play. Finally, at sos, when the
pangs of hunger began to be felt,
enough assemblymen changed their
votes to carry a motion to adjourn,
and the house cannot convene again
until 10 o'clock Saturday morning.
1t was the first call of the house
this session, and the fact that this
unusual procedure was resorted to
indicates the intensity of feeling and
bitterness which the fight over the
tw ne plant has provoked in the as
sembly.
That the battle over the measure
will be resumed when the house re
convenes Saturday morning Is fore
gone conclusion. Most of the absent
members, who have been summoned
to return. are expected to be at their
desks, and the effort to reconsider
the vote by which the bill was re-
fused concurrence will bring an ex-
preston from nearly the full mem
bership of the house.
AS on the previous occasion when
the assembly Irvine plant bills We're
k lied. Speaker Bancroft left the chair
and took a leading part in the oppo-
sition to the proposition. His speech
was the most impassioned and vehe-
ment he has made this session. He
spoke plainly and made charges
against the opposition bordering on
the ensat onal which when chal-
lenged by Mr.. Shaw, elected sharp
exchange of angry words, ending in
both members assuming defiant at
titude. Later. when calm had been
restored. both apologized for their

SUCKER SOLONS
ON THE WARPATH
ASSEMBLYMEN BECOME AN
GERED AT SENATE ACTION
AND TABLE BILLS.

Springfield, H., May 29.-Angered
at the treatment the house bills re-
ceived yesterday in the senate, where
several bills were held in committee
and others slaughtered on the floor of
the house, representatives in the
lower house began reprisals and in a
scene of wild excitement all senate
bills in the house on second and
third reading were tabled.
Minority Leader Browne led in the
attack on the senate and in a vigor-
Gus speech castigated the senators for
their actions. Other house mem
bers followed with caustic comment
on the senate There will probably
be no adjournment of the legislature,
and the sessions will probably contin-
lie next week.
A resolution restric ing Cook coun-
tvs representation to not more than
one-third of the membership in the
general assembly was killed in the
house. Carrying constitutional
a two-thirds vote of the
house was required to pass the res
olution. 1t received 81 votes, Is

BACON CHARGES COLLISION TO
PREVENT HIS MAKING A
SPEECH.

Washington, May Ex-senator Aid
|rich succeeded yesterday in getting
action by the senate on the remainder
of the schedule with the understand
ing that the paragraph fixing the duty
on raw and refined sugar should be
again placed before the senate ii Mr..
Clay's health should so improve as to
permit of his taking advantage of the
opportunity at a later date to move
two. The tobacco schedule was also
completdd No changes were made
in the finance committee rates on
either schedule. The sugar, tobacco
and agricultural schedules divided
the attention of the senate with Incl
dental remarks on the side by Mr..
Bacon and a general tariff speech by
Senator Stone
Messrs. Gore, Bristow and Clay
criticized the provision for duty on
raw and refined sugar, and Mr.. Clay
repeated his allegation of fraudulent
transactions in the interest of the
sugar trust. Mr.. BristoW declared
that the trust had benefited by the
defeat of his amendments yesterday
and Mr. Gore asserted that by the
adoption of the finance committee
provision, which was the same as that
passed by the house, only five cents
on a hundred pounds of sugar would
be saved.
Mr.. Bacon's remarks consisted of a
charge that the reading clerk of the
senate and the republican leaders
were in collusion to shut off debate.
The charge grew out Of the fact that
when the senate was about to vote on
an amendment by Mr.. Gore TO the
sugar schedule, Mr.. Bacon was pre-
pairing to address the senate and had
actually begun before the roll was
called. He asserted that the course
had been pursued to prevent him from
speaking and declaring that such a
plan had been followed in the past he
entered upon sharp criticism of the
official. The vice president himself
assumed responsibility for ordering
the call to proceed and the incident
was closed. The Gore amendment
was subsequently withdrawn.
Mr.. Bradley made a long speech
early in the day in advocacy of the
removal of the internal revenue tax OF
six cents pound on tobacco in the
hand " He asserted that such action
was essential to the welfare of the
tobacco growers throughout the coun-
T try and traced the raids of the nigh
riders in Kentucky and Tennessee to
what is declared to be the unjust
course of the tobacco trust in dealing
with the tobacco producers. Just
before the session closed, Mr.. Nc
Cumber spoke in behalf of protec-
tive duty on agricultural products.
predicting a great falling off in the
American production of wheat in the
near future.
