WARSHIP M FRAUD
CHARGED IN CONGRESS-.

WASHINGTON. Feb. 2e.-The naval
appropriation bill finally passed the
House shortly before loon today. The
advocates Of a naval increase pro-
gram Of one battlcship instead of two
tried to secure a recommittal OF the
bin for amendment In hat respect, but
the motion was defeated 167 to 1872.
The discussion yesterday brought out
charges that for years the government
had been paying more for armor plate
than the Steel Trust charges abraod,
and that the government has been fur
nished with faulty materials.
The bill could have been passed last
night but for the fear of Chairman
Foss that a separate vote would be
demanded and he would get but one
ship. Congressman Hobson, OF Ala
bama, had made an effort to have
three battloships instead of two, but
could muster only nine votes. Before
the bill was finally completed Rep
r~esentative Fitzgerald, of New York,
had the provision repeating the eight
hour law as applied to the work of
building the navy stricken from the
bill.

JAP TREATY
RECEIVES SENATE
COMMITTEE 0 \.
Document intended to Super
sede Present Pact Is Re-
ported to Senate.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 22.-The Japa-
nese treaty was ordered reported favor
ably to the Senate by the committee on
foreign relations today, after the com
mitee had heard a statement by Mr.,
Knox, secretary OF state.
II was minated at the White House
today that the treaty was satisfactory
to the Pacific coast that representatives
Of hat section had been consulted dur
ing the preparation If the instrument,
and that they were satisfied the new
treaty would be more pleasing to their
people than the preceding one.
Uncle Sam Cordial to Micado.
The new treaty affords impress.
i've evidence OF the cordiality OF
this government toward Japan
yielded to Japan's desire that the ex-
sting treaty be terminated a year in
advance of tho date of its expiration,
but the United States has further
shown it's good VIII by emitting from
the new convention a paragraph of the
old treaty relating to immigration
which has always been distasteful to
the japanese.
The principal feature Of the new
relates to this immigration
clause. The effort of the convention is
to leave the problem of Japanese imnl-
grafton into this country entirely to
the hoLor OF the Japanese government.
That Is practically the condition of
that has existed for the last
two years, and the new treaty, there
fore, proposes no change in the actual
status of this question. 1t merely
drops from the old treaty a meaning
less provision which has been obnoxious
to the convention.

TRENTON, Feb. PA millinery
bill" backed by the Audubon societies,
which provides that no person shall
have In possession living or dead
wild bird. or the piumage thereof,
other than a game bird, Is now before
the New Jersey Legislature. and Is
likely to pass, as 1t has the backing
OF the New Jersey Board of Fish and
Game Commissioners. The enacting OF
the measure would to a large degree
diminish the wearing of plumage on
tho hats of women.
This bill was prepared under the d.
rection Of the National Association OF
Audubon Societies. which has succeed
ed in having 1t passed in some other
States.
Birds Are Defined.
Wherever the word bird occurs In
the proposed act reference Is made

from without the State as to those OBJ

no apply to feathers of birds of para

tic pigeons nor to the English sparrow.

and great-horned owl. Few OF these
are sought. however, for their plumage
as millinery adornment.

Another of the bird protection bills
before the Legislature prohibits the
use of automatic and repeating shot
guns. These guns are prohibited now
in Pennsylvania, and their use has
been made Illegal also in all the
provinces of Canada, the fish and game
commissioners say. where game Is
much more plentiful than in New Jer.
sey.
An automatic shotgun, 1t is pointed
ont, holds five charges. When the
shooter fires the first sho the recoil
throws out the empty shell, inserts a
new n in the chamber and cocks
the gun. The shooter has then but
to pull the trigger as fast as possible

unter invariably sneaks I'D to the
lock and kills as many birds as pos

puts in the other four shots.
