PREVENTIVE TO DISASTER
Former BIuejacket Invents
Life-Saving Suit for Men
on Submarine.

To prevent the repetition in the Amer
lean navy of the terrible disasters which
have occurred to several British and
French submarine craft, involving the
lingering death, by strangulation and
mephitic gases, of the helpless crews, is
the purpose of novel invention submit
ted for examination and test to the Navy
Department by former bluejacket, Sam
uel Roth of New York.
Presupposing the equipment Of every
submarine with one or more ports, fit
ted with double air locks, like the cais-
sons used in underground work, the idea
is that every member of the crew shall
be supplied with what is called swim
ming suit" That is not unlike an Or
binary diving suit in appearance, but 1T
is provided with small tanks charged
with oxygen, which is calculated to
maintain life under water for long
time. The suit is sufficiently buoyant to
bring the wearer speedily to the surface
of the water. after he has escaped from
the sunken hull. and once there. small
compartments supply him with fluid food
and fresh water, until he is picked up
by some vessel.
The device is also capable Of use by
aviatOrs using hydro-aerOplanes over
water. A novel attachment is a helmet
equipped with an electric lamp supplied
with current from a small storage bat
terry, SO that the sailor may find his
way around in the dark ocean depths or
in the interior of the wreck.

Representatives Harrison of New York
and Hill of Connecticut. in collaboration
with the Treasury Department, have
prepared bill. introduced in the House
yesterday, to accommodate the corpora
ton tax administration to the book
keeping of firms which come under the
law.
The bill would permit corporations to
make return on their years business
at the end Of their fiscal year instead Of
at the expiration of the calendar year.
Business men have complained of the
inconvenience of the present system, and
the Treasury Department has agreed
with them.

VOTE THIS AFTERNOON
ON PANAMA CANAL BILL
Railroad Control Feature OF
Measure Is Debated in
the Senate.

Before adjourning last night the Sen
ate reached an agreement to vote on the
Panama canal bill by o'clock this after
noon.
The Senate worked last night on the
railroad control feature of the bill. Sen
ator Bristow opposed the plan Of rail-
road controlled vessels suggested by the
Senate committee and urged the adoption
of the plan passed by the House, which
would give the interstate commerce COM
mission jurisdiction.
One important restriction was placed
on the Williams free ship amendment
adopted yesterday. This provided that
no foreign-built ship admitted to Amer
lean registry should be allowed to partici-
pate in mail-carrying contracts unless it
was constructed with particular reference
to speedy and economical conversion into
an auxiliary naval cruiser.
A somewhat similar restriction was
made upon the granting Of the free toll
privilege to American vessels engaged IN
foreign trade. The provision adopted by
the Senate specifies that owners Of YES
sells engaged in foreign trade must agree
to sell their ships to the United States in
time of war or other emergencies. In order
to be exempt from the payment of tolls
when passing through the canal.
Railroad-Controlled Ships.
The subject of railroad-controlled ships
brought out a defense of the House bill
by Senator'S Clapp. Poindexter and 9TH
ers. Chairman Clapp Of the interstate
commerce committee said some regula-
ton must be enacted to separate definite
ly the railroads and the steamship lines
The suggestion that the Canadian Pacific
railway might be able to operate its
ships through the canal, while American
railway-owned ships would be prohibited.
had been brought up, he said, for the
purpose of clOuding the real issue.
Senator Lippitt of Rhode Island de-
clared that cooperation between rail-
roads and steamships had greatly bene-
fitted at least a portion of New England
and that the people of his state did not
join in the general denunciation of the
railway lines and their steamer connec-
tons.
He denied charges that had been made
that the New York, New Haven and
Hartford railway controlled all the Long
Island sound steamer lines. A great por-
ton of these freight-carrying steamers,
he said, were entirely independent of the
control Of the railway.

Mr.. Gillett said he had introduced a bill

take care OF the clerks under this meas
ure. That is not more than our present
Illegal pension list is costing But / ap-
preciate the great bulk OF the House is
opposed to any civil pension system. and
so the members of the House oppose that
bill on the ground that too much is maid

system. On the other hand, the govern
ment employees are opposed to it because
they want a fiat pension to which they

He said of the plan:
1t would be impotent to accomplish

clerks in a condition of insecurity and

SEEK $4,000 FUND
To AID MRS. HARLAN
Lawyers of Supreme Court
Bar Would Help Widow
of Justice.

Contributions from the more than
1000 lawyers of the bar of the Supreme
Court of the United States to make
up a relief fund of at least $4,000 for
the benefit Of the widow and two daugh-
ters Of the late Associate Justice John
M. Harlan, have been invited by dis
tinguished members of the bar.
The signers Of the appeal each have
made contributions of $500 The letter
in the interest Of Mrs. Harlan bears the
names Of Joseph Fl. Choate. Lewis Cass
Ledyard, Elbridge T. Young, William d.
Guthrie, Victor Morawitz, Francis L.
Stetson, John L. Cadwallader, William
Nelson Cromwell, John G. Johnson and
Elihu Root.
An estate Of less than $4,000 was left
by the dead jurist. Congress is ex-
pected to appropriate the equivalent of
Of the widow. Otherwise Mrs Harlan
is dependent upon her two sons for
support of herself and daughters.
John NJ Harlan, the elder son, is a
lawyer practicing in Chicago. James S.
Harlan, the second son, a member Of the
interstate commerce commission, re-
ceives a salary of $4,000 a year. Both
are men with families.

full value. Outside of that equity there
is. as we are told, less than $4,000, to
which Congress probably will add, as
it did in the case Of Mr.. Brewer, a
years salary of s12.50O, but that will
only yield about $500 or $500.
1--WE do not think that the bar OF the
Supreme Court should allow such a
state of things to continue, or that the
justice should be permitted to remain
in this really destitute condition. AL
though we did not always agree with
Justice Harlap's decisions, there is no

Under these circumstances, we pro-

Of his family-that is to say, of his
wife and two daughters-the sum Of

of Massachusetts and Representative
Reilly Of Connecticut that this is moth
ing more nor less than q step backward

tors belong the spoils'' was the motto
of Washington's official life. The oppo-
nents of the seven-year term were in q
hopeless minority, inasmuch as the vote
was 141 to 70. but those who spoke in
opposition drew interesting pictures Of
the confused state in which the classified
service will be thrown when it is pos
sible to remove q clerk for the benefit
of a political favor. In fact, the talks
were almost all along. the human-interest
side Of the proposition.

leading clerks with the power to take
away their subordinates' jobs. There is
no tyranny like petty tyranny, the petty
tyranny on which the limelight can not

you are encouraging. I do not wish to
say a word against any foreman or any

than to say that they are human like

much power, they will exercise too much
power. There are bad men among them
