OYSTERMEN LOSE
FIGHT FOR "FLOATERS.'

WASHINGTON. April 1.-Oysters
can no longer be fed, or, as the trade
term goes, "foated in brackish water
before they are offered for sale. The
department of agriculture has ordered
that the practise must stop at once.
The order affects all the oyster trade
in the United States and is of immense
Importance to dealers.
Recently the department gave a hear
ing to 200 New Jersey oystermen, who
maintained that the quality of the
oyster is improved by the floating proc
ess. and that the departments ban
meant ruin to their business.
The department, however, holds that
to float an oyster after it is taken from
its bed, provides means for the oyster
to take in contamination from the
water and offers risk of typhoid.

WAR DEPARTMENT.
MOVES TO BALk
JAPANESE SPIES
Secret Washington Cable to
Philippines Follows Lawyers
Action RumOr.

WASHINGTON, April 1.-The Wal
Department today has taken a hand in
the case of the two Japanese spies. who
were arrested while attempting to OBJ
tain photographs of the Notifications
at C~orregidor, Carte, and a sealed ca
BILE was sem to the encouragement
and the secretary of justice in the
Philippines.
The action of the War Department
followed authoritative reports h a the
foreign office of Japan vas behind a
move made in Manila by a firm OF
local lawyers who secured a writ of
habeas corpus from the Supreme Court
directing the military authorities to
produce the two Japanese in cour to-
day.
While it Is understood that h State
Department concurred in the instruc-
lions sent to the Philippines, never
theless. in view of the reported en-
trance of the Japanese Foreign Office
into the proceedings, the State Depart
ment is p%rudently avoiding active par
~ticipation.
For it is admitted that if this case
should become a matter of direct ne
gotiation between the State Depart
ment and the foreign office, the issue
would be very doubtful. Should japan
demand the release of the alleged spies,
the State Department could not COM
ply without ignoring a specific law OF
the Philippine code. which covers and
can heavily punish the offense of the
prisoners.
There is no such word as Spy in the
Philippine code. What Americans call
q spy is a plain thief in the Philip
pines.

vited to attend a prize fight at Western
Heights Baptist Church Monday night,

Officials of the church admitted there
