HUMPHREY SEES PERIL AHEAD
Pacific Coast Defenseess For Lack
of Ships.

Detroit-"Japan could seize Seat
tie, Tacoma, Portland, the Bremerton
Government Navy Yard, five great
transcontinental railways, fortify
mountain passes and have an empire
upon which to live before the United
States could get $4,000 troops to the
Pacific Ocean," declared Representa-.
tive w. E. Humphrey, of Washington,
in an address at the annual banquet
of the Lake Carriers Association. He
added:
"The nations of the earth know our
condition and they know that we are
utterly unprepared for war. They
know that our army is too small, that
our navy is practically helpless be-
cause we have no merchant vessels
as an auxiliary. They know we have
no transports for the one and not aux
iliaries for the other.
"The War Department will tell you
that in case of contest we would need
for transports 250 vessels. We have
not, in both oceans combined, 20 YES
sells fit for this purpose. We are more
helpless today than was Russia at
the beginning of the war with Japan.
Il do not prophesy war with ia
pan. 1t would be a crime against
humanity But the only guarantee of
peace on the Pacific Ocean is to be
prepared for war.
Japan has 500 merchant vessels
on the Pacific fit for transportation.
The United States has six. Japan
can transport 100000 troops at one
time, the United States not more
than 10000"

Washington, Jan. 9.-Challenging
the remarks of Congressman Tawney
of Minnesota and Hull of Iowa in
the house that his statement to the
United Press on the country's unpre-
paredness for war was the utterance
of an alarmist, Frederick Louis
Huidekuper today struck back.
my statement to the United
Press" he said, was based on the
official records of the war depart
ment. The assertions of Congress
men Hull and Tawney were appar-
entity made either with a desire to
suppress the real facts in the case
or through sheer ignorance of the
Hull and Tawney. if they ask the
war department for the records re-
lating to each and every statement
I made, and will give to the country
without reservation the facts those
reports establish, they will be doing
the nation a patriotic service. These
records will bear out fully to any
unbiased mind the statements of
the country's present helplessness to
which Congressman McLachlan of
California referred in the house"
On the floor of the house yesterday
Congressman Tawney of Minnesota
and Hull of Iowa attacked the state
ment of Huidekoper, made through
the United Press. as misleading, and
denied that the country was in any
such state of unpreparedness for war
as that critic alleged. Hull particu-
larly challenged the statement that

Washington, Jan. 1S.-After almost
a week Of cessation, the senate to-
day resumed consideration of the
case of Senator Lorimer. There
were two speeches, one by Burrows,
chairman of the committee on priv
ileges and elections, in support of
the Illinois senator, and the other by
Borah, Of Idaho, in opposition.
Burrows strongly commended the
course of Lorimer in demanding an
investigation.
Borah declared that corruption has
characterized the proceedings ever
since Lorimer had decided to be-
come a candidate for the senate.
Both addresses were sharply analyti-
cal and both went at length into the
testimony. Frequently they quoted
the same statements of witnesses.
but their deductions were widely at
variance. The speeches resembled
each other in the fact that both de-
nounced the conduct of Representa-
tive White. whose statement in
Chicago newspaper led to the investi-
CATION, but, while Senator Borah con-
tended for the probable truthfulness
of his revelations as indicated by
supporting circumstances, the Michi-
gan senator found nothing to sustain
him or give credence to his expo
sition.
The Burrows speech is the first
that has been made in Lorimer's be-
half Many opposing senators have
been waiting for this presentation Of
the affirmative side of the case and
it is believed the consideration will
now proceed expeditiously. There
are still many arguments to be heard
before a vote can be reached.
There is absolutely no proof, di-
rect or indirect, from which a legiti-
mate inference could be drawn that
single member of the general as
sembly was corruptly Influenced to
vote for Lorimer," said Burrows.

Washington, Jan. 20.-"That it is
the sense of the senate that the Pan
ANA Canal should be fortified
Such is the declaration of a resolu-
ton introduced in the senate today
by Senator Money. The Mississippi
senator announced his intention to
speak on the resolution and it is
probable that it will be used as a
basis for general discussion of the
question of canal Notifications.
Senator Jones, of Washington, to-
day introduced a bill providing that
where desert entrymen who have Sc
cured extension of time, under the
act of March 2S, 1908, are unable
ply with the law as to irrigation and
cultivation and the delay is due to
failure to complete the irrigation pro
ject on which they are dependent for
water, they may, upon proper show
ing, secure a further extension of
three years in the option of the Com
missioner-General of the Land Office.
I'm some IA instances states have
gone without full representation in
the senate because of deadlocks in
the legislatures" said Borah, of Idaho,
in the senate today, supporting the
resolution providing for the popular
election of United States senators.
In other instances" he said, bribery
and corruption and scandal have at
tached to the sessions
1T is not alone that direct and
open bribery sometimes prevails; but
that which is equally bad more often
prevails-bills and measures are trad
ed upon or killed; the public interest
is sacrificed, or actually bartered
away; patronage and Office enter into
the deal and the whole affair becomes
a disgrace and is of itself sufficient
condemnation of the present SYSTEM
The senator specially cited the con-
tests in Pennsylvania in 1900; in
Maryland in 1904, and in Missouri in
1905.
Prior to 1872" he declared, 1--WE
had but one case of alleged election
bribery connected with a seat on
this floor Since that time we have
had 10, to say nothing of number
of Investigations before state legis-
latures which never reached this

cHARrlNa FOOD VALVES

The department of agriculture.
which has been experimenting to de-
termine the nutritive value of the
food on the American breakfast, din
ner and supper table, has issued a
series of charts which show the re-
suits of its Investigations.
Scientifically. food is that which.
taken into the body. builds tissue or
yields energy Every constituent of
food has its purpose. One part re-
pairs the tissues. another forms the
bones and another assists in diges-
ton. The value of any food article.
therefore, is measured by its perform
ance of these functions. The nutrients
In food are protein, fats, carbohy-
drates and mineral matter or ash
From these the several parts of the
human machine take what they re-
ouire for upkeep and fuel energy and
the waste is eliminated.
Scientific feeding Of cattle and hogs
Is nothing new. The secret OF It was
discovered early. because It was found
there was money in It. The scientific
feeding of human beings has not
made the same progress because the
stake was only human life, which has
been cheap in all ages Of the world.

too much attention was being paid to
breeding sleek cattle and roly-poly
hogs and too little to the proper rear

Tuesday, Jan. IL.

Washington, Jan. 17.-This was
field day for the so-called republican
insurgents" in the senate. "Hazing
Hale" was the fayorite pastime, but
"grilling Gallinger" was a close Sec
ond in point of popularity.
The occasion was offered when
Gallinger sought to have day fixed
for a vote on his ocean mail ship
subsidy bill Immediately on Calm
gers motion, Clapp interposed an
emphatic objection. He was followed
by Cummins, who enjoyed himself at
the expense of Gallinger.
Then Hale arose and informed the
senate that the fixing of days for
votes naver would do; that, if such a
practice were indulged in, no bust
transacted at the present session. He
urged the senate to get down to
business"
Borah intimated that in his own
opinion the senator from Maine was
not practicing what he preached
that the latter when the resolution
providing fer direct election of
United States senators was offered
last Friday, sought to prevent con-
sideration by moving an adjournment.
Secretary Ballinger was the object
today of an attack by Senator Pur-
cell, of North Dakota. The senator
delivered a speech in support of his
resolution submitted yesterday to the
senate, declaring that Secretary Ball
niger was unfit to retain his Office
in the administration because of his
alleged maladministration of depart
mental affairs. Mr. Purcell was a
member of the so-called Ballinger-
Pinchot investigating committee.

life, efficiency and happiness through
the ignorant eating Of food and al
legged food has never been computed.
But the increasing cost of living has
now brought the question Of proper
food to basis where the American
people are beginning to consider It.
Where hygiene failed to make its call
heard, bacon at 35 cents a pound is
attracting attention to the need of

more than half this chop will be wa

therefore, would yield nearly the
amount Of energy prescribed for a
days use, but no one cares to eat
two pounds Of lamb chops every day,
and there are plenty of other food ar
ticles to supply variety. Dried

CHINESE MAKES AERIAL FLIGHT
Fung Joe Guey Sails Gracefully in
the Air.

San Francisco.-Whee his ma
chine out on a level field near the
bay at Elmhurst, Fung Joe Guey, a
Chinese aviator and inventor, started
the 75-horsepower engine on his lat
est aeroplane, jumped into the seat
and after running along the ground
for 100 feet, rose gracefully in the
air to a height of 40 feet. At this
elevation, the Chinese aviator circled
the big field, nearly mile in circum-
ference, and then struck oft towards
the bay, swinging back in a long
curve and landing with slight jar
four minutes later, about 100 feet
or so from the starting point. 1t
was Guey's first really successful
fight and he was heartily cheered
by his fellow-workers and mechanics,
all Chinese.
In previous attempts, the aeroplane
had always come to grief, necessitat-
ing weeks of repair before another
trial could be made.

indicated its willingness to submit
the boundary controversy to The

BREAKS RECORD FOR BILLS.

All records will be broken when
the present house Of representatives
scores a total of approximately $4,000
public and private bills introduced up
to its close on March 4 next. This is
q leap Of more than 1900 over the
record established by the last con-
gress, the sixtieth These figures are
exclusive Of resolutions, which so far
in the three sessions of the present
congress have numbered 883 simple
resolutions, 27S joint resolutions and
fifty-six concurrent
Back in the earlier congresses there
were comparatively few measures pre-
sented, but with the extension of the
sway of the American flag to various
insular possessions and with the host
of river and harbor and public build
ing developments, with pet projects
for a multitude of streams almost
never before heard of, the bulk of
bills and resolutions has been increas-
ing rapidly
In the fifty-fourth congress 10000
bills introduced outdistanced all other
records. This was raised by a thou
sand little later and four years ago
the house files were flooded with
1900 bills. During the two preceding
sessions Of this congress 27,2S4 bills
were presented and up to today the
present session has registered BOIL.
A flood of measures probably will be
introduced in the few days following
the reassembling of congress on Jan
uary 5, and then the tide will recede.

Saturday, January 81.

Washington, Jan. 21.-The consti-
tutional amendment providing for
direct election of United States sen
ators Is in danger of going to wreck
through the injection of the race
issue of the south into the debate in
the senate and the smoldering party
feeling on this subject was aroused
still further today by speech made
by Carter of Montana.
The controversy has arisen over
the control of elections for the choice
of senators. AS reported from com
mittee, the resolution authorizing the
submission of the amendment to the
states includes in the amendment a
provision that the state legislatures
shall fix the times, places and man
ner of holding the elections, but
Sutherland moved an amendment CIV
ing congress power to regulate the
elections. This has aroused the op-
position of the democrats and
though the republicans are strong
enough in numbers to secure its
adoption, as a bare majority suffices,
they would thereby imperil the adop-
ton of the resolution itself, as this
requires three-fifths majority, which
cannot be secured without the aid
of democratic votes.
Washington, Jan. 21.-Charles D.
Hilles, assistant secretary of the
treasury, has been offered by Presi-
dent Taft the position of secretary
to the president. This information
came today from reliable source.
1t was added that Mr.. Hilles was
considering it, The fact is well
known that he contemplated retiring
from public life March 4, but whether
the offer will serve to keep him in
the public service is entirely con-
jectural.

Washington, Jan. 16.-The stirring
scenes of the last session of congress,

Joined in the defeat of the speaker.
By a vote of 145 to 126, the combined
forces rallied to the support of Fitz-
gerald Dem, New York, and sustain
ed him in his appeal from the Speak
er's ruling.
The fight developed as the result Of
the second attempt to use the new
rule which gives the house power to
discharge a committee from further
consideration of a bill that has been
referred to it. 1t was started by
Hardwick. of Georgia, who, when de-
MED the privilege of introducing a
lengthy memorial, objected to every
bill as it was brought up, thus pre-
venting its passage.
The house passed bill today au-
thorizing the dropping of army ofic-
ers from the rolls when they have
been absent without leave for more
than three months. This would re-
move from the army list Captain
