Currency Reform Bill
Would Keep Congress
Here Until Fall, Report

II there is a real attempt to pass a
currency bill at this session, Con-
gress will be here until September or
October. in the opinion of most Sena-
tors and members of the House. Sena-
tors do not expect as a rule to get
through the tariff bill until well along
in July. Some say it will be August.
If. on top of the tariff there comes a
lon currency debate. il will carry the
Congress session into the fall. One of
the reasons why many at the Capitol
think there will be no legislation on
currency this session is that the Sem
ate will wear itself out on tariff, and
will not want to tackle currency.

Blow At Republicans.
The remarkable charge is being made
in some quarters that the Pomerene
resolution and the Overman resolution,
along with the agitation in other quar-
ters about the administration of the
civil service are prompted of a desire
to drive the administration to lower the
civil service bars.
Those who take this view of il say
that II is the purpose to try to show
Republicans have been favored in the
past and use that showing to force
President Wilson to favor Democrats.
II that is the purpose, and it is dis
claimed by both Senators Overman and
Pomerene. it will fail. If 1t is disclosed
there Is rottenness in the civil service,
there is little question what President
Wilson will do and what the real
friends of civil service in Congress will
do. They will insist on the law being
so frightened up as to make further
abuses as near impossible as a strict
civil service statute will permit.

JAPAN ORDERS TRIO
OF BIG BATTLE
Three Dreadnoughts, Mounting
Ten 13.5-Inch Guns, Will Be
Built by Home Yards.

TOKYO, May 5.-Contracts have been
placed for the construction in japanese
yards OF three dreadnoughts. They
will be sister ships to the Fuse. the dis
placement of which is S0,0O0 tons.
When completed the new japanese
battleships will comprise a homogene-
GUS squadron of four, of which the
E'uso. NJ under construction at kure,
will be launched in the latter part Of
this year.
They will be, it is understood. en-
larged and improved editions of the
Hiyel class, which goes into commission
next fall. The Hiyel class ships carry
eight 13.5-inch guns, but the new ships.
II is believed, will carry ten of the same
caliber. They will be arranged in five
two-gun turrets on the fore-and-aft
line. so as to be trained on either broad
turret will be raised above the first and
the fifth so as to give a dead-ahead and
dead-astern fire OF four guns.
This arrangement of the turret guns
was first introduced in the American
battleships South Carolina and Michi-
gan, and proved such a success that il
has been almost universally copied by
foreign nations.
Very little is definitely known of the
Fuse. but II is supposed that her armor.
in accordance with the Japanese prac-
tice since the Russian war, will consist
of a moderately heavy belt, probably
ten inches thick, extending over nearly
her entire length and carried clear up

DEEPER INQUIRY

tions That Is More Sweeping Than Originally Intended.
Clerks Must Bare Full Records

comprehensive than originally intended,
Senator Pomerene of Ohio. chairman of
the Civil Service Committee, introduced
in the Senate this afternoon his reso-
luton calling for a mass of informa-
ton from the department heads show
ing the record of every appointe under
them.
This resolution, which was referred

tended to pave the way for an investi-
cation of the civil service to discover
what truth there is in the widespread
allegations of maladministration and
political corruption.
The Civil Service Committee will
meet tomorrow and will take up the
PCmerene resolution and the one al
ready introduced by Senator Overman.
An early favorable report of n reSolu-
ton is expected.

that the civil service system has been
overloaded with Republicans.
Following is the text of the resolu-
ton:
Whereas. in the administration of

accordance with the letter and spirit
thereof. where that is practicable, and
to amend them, If. in their present
form, 1t is impracticable TO enforce
them according to the tenor thereof;
and.
Whereas. it is necessary to know
the real facts relating TO the present
laws or the Administration thereof in
order to determine whether there
should be new or additional legiSla-
ton. or what, if any, changes should
be made in the present administration
thereof;
Calls On Secretaries.
Therefore. be it resolved:
"First-That the Secretary of State,
