SENATE Wants TOKNOW
ABOUT ALLEGED LEAKS
Asks if Secrets About Battle
ships Have Been Revealed to
the Argentine Republic.

After test of strength between the so.
called old guard of the Senate and the
insurgent-democratic coalition, won by
the regulars, the Senate this afternoon
passed the La Toilette resolutions asking
the Secretary of State and the Secretary
Of the Navy to disclose if this govern
ment has been revealing it's battleshiI
secrets to aid the construction Of two bat
tleships for the Argentine Republic and
has been doing work in aid of such con-
struction.
The resolutions were based on published
charges that the Navy Department has
worked in cooperation with private ship
builders in this country and revealed
some secrets of battleship construction
which have aided those builders.
The resolution calling upon the Secre-
tary Of State for communications that re-
late to the matter was worded to "di-
rect him to furnish certain nforma-
ton to the Senate.
AS soon as the resolution had been
read Senator Gallinger suggested that the
usual qualifying phrase-'if not incom-
patible with the public interest'-be in
serted in the resolution.
Objected to Allowing Discretion.
To that Senator La Toilette objected, on
the ground that the reason for passing
the resolution was the fear that the
State and Navy Department officials had
not been good judges Of the public in
terest, and that, therefore no further
discretion should be given them.
Senator Gallinger then moved the in
sertion of the qualifying phrase, and
Senator LaFallette gave further oppo-
sition.
is there any occasion requiring the
passage of this resolution Mr.. La Fol-
lette urge-. lit is because the department
officials have not construed what are the
best interests of this government. 1 think
nothing more should be left to their dis
cretfon'

Debate Made Possible.

Representative Gardner then moved
the adoption of the conference report
and Mr.. Cox demanded a second, which
Permitted the debate to continue on the
report
After some further squabbling Mr. Cox
withdrew his point of order against the
street cleaning amendment and the en-.
tire conference report was rejected as
stated, with the exception of the Senate
amendment increasing the salaries of the
Commissioners from 5000 to $1,000 a
year, upon which it was arranged a sepa-
rate vote should be taken.
Mr.. Gardner moved that the House con-
cur in the Senate proposition to make this
increase. Representative Foster of Illi-
nois called attention to the fact that after
the Legislative bill left the House S1O6,OO0
had been added to it, and that the Senate
had put Sj4. COO additional on the District
bill. total Of 100000, both of which. he
said. provided for increases of salaries al
ready large
Representative Cox of Indiana opposed
the increase, declaring that 5000 was
sufficient and that if the Commissioners
did not think SO they could get out.

General Survey Ordered.

A general survey Of the Portsmouth has
been ordered by Secretary Meyer to deter
mine these three questions: The cost of
fitting her for a voyage from New York
to California, there to be preserved as a
naval relic: the cost of preparing here
for the use of the marine hospital serv-
ice to replace the Jamestown. and her
value in case it is recommended that she
be offered for sale.
This old man-of-war has a notable rec

Mexico the Portsmouth was in Paclnc

MANY POINTS OF ORDER
Separate Vote Ordered on Salaries
of the Commissioners.
INCREASE BITTERLY OPPOSED
Alleged That Commissioner John
ston Had Approved Purchase of
Apparatus Without Authority.

The conference report on the District
OF Columbia appropriation BILL which
stirred up such row in the House OF
Representatives last Saturday. was called
up again today by Representative Gard
ner of Michigan, and Immediately stalt ted
another rumpus The appropriation OF
$4,000 for the purchase of a municipal
asphalt plant has been eliminated from
the conference report, however, and the
principal fight today was over the Sen
ate amendment increasing the salaries of
the Commissioners to $1,000.
All of the conference report with the
exception of this proposition was re-
jected. A separate vote on the Com
missioners' salary increase was arranged
for
Mr.. Johnson's Points of Order.
Immediate Y after Representative Gard
ner of Michigan, the chairman of the
House conferees, had called up the con-
ference report, Representative johnson
of Kentucky, who will be chairman of
the District of Columbia committee in
the next House, made points of order
against half a dozen Senate amendments,
but was overruled by the chair.
Mr.. Gardner explained, at this point,
that the appropriation of $4,000 for the
construction Of a municipal asphalt plant.
which had previously been agreed to and
which caused such rumpus in the House
last Saturday, had been dropped out en-
tirely.
Representative Cox of Indiana made a
point of order against the Senate amend
ment increasing the agreement of the
conferees on S260,o0O for cleaning the
streets Of the National Capital, instead of
the s25OOOO provided by the House and
the s27OOO0 suggested by the Senate. His
point of order was sustained.
Mr.. Cox wanted to know in this con-
nection If Commissioner Johnston had
not bought some street cleaning appa-
ratus without authority of law. Repre-
sentative Bennett of New York declared
that this was true and that this addi-
tional money was to pay for the pur-
chase

Denied by Col. Diaz.

MEXICO CITY, February IA cate
gorical denial Of the statements contained
i'm DR.. Gomez's announcement was made
last night by Lieut.. Col. Porfirio Diaz, jr,
chief of the presidential staff. Similar
refutation was made by Minister OF For
eign Relations Enrique c.. Creel.
Col. Diaz's denial extended to the state
ment that DR.. Gomez was the 1am1ly
physician of Gen. DiaZ at one time. He
attended one of Col. Diaz's children on
one occasion only and was never en-
ployed by the President.
The reference to Gov. Ahumada's al
legged efforts toward peace was not news
to the government officers. Such report
had reached their ears several days ago,
and Gov Ahumada was asked as to the
truth of it. The Chihuahua executive re-
piled that 1t had no foundation in fact.
The allegation that Gen. DiaZ had treat
ed for peace in any manner was declared
by Col. Liaz to be foolish In the ex-
