FLOTILLA FLEET SHOWS
IT'S HIGH EFFICIENCY
Rush Orders to Go to Sea Find
Submarines Prepared
for Service.

The rush orders for the submarine flo
tilla to get to sea. which startled naval
men at Newport, r. l., Friday, were ex-
planned at the Navy Department yester-
day as intended for an efficiency test
of the crews of these vessels. Emergency
orders were sent the officers command
ing the submarines without previous
warning, in order to see how long Il
would take them to get their men on
board and get out to sea. OF the test,
acting Secretary Roosevelt said:
The department is much pleased with
the celebrity with which the submarines
got away from Newport. There is no
harder test of the general state of eff
fciency in the navy than an emergency
order of this kind sent out in times of
peace, when no possible idea of a hurry
call to duty could be expected. The rec
ord made by the submarines is highly
gratifying and shows a high state of ef-
ficiency ana preparedness is being main
tanned. The submarines were to be or
dered to Norfolk for repairs. and this
opportunity was taken to test their abil.
ity to get under way at short notice.

Michigan Congressman.

Informing the State Department that
Americans In Mexico are made victims
OF eXtortion by rebels and Federais, Rep
resentative Hamilton of Michigan yes
terday demanded better protection for
them in the southern republic. He trans
mitted letter from G.. X. Warren, of
Three Oaks, Mich, who owns a ranch
in Chihuahua. The letter says:
IF the United States is not going to
protect its citizens in foreign countries
it should publish this fact broadcast.
Now an American is not even on an
equal footing with a Chinaman. We are
not seeking intervention; we simply want
protection"
Warren said his ranch foreman nd
bookkeeper were Kidnapped and held for
ransom. The State Department has
wired the embassy to demand that Mexi-
co accord adequate protection to Ameri-

Way of Purchasing Supplies.

Urging the creation of a new House
Committee on Buying and Selling, Rep
resentative Bathrick, an Ohio Democrat.
yesterday sent a letter to the Rules
Committee and the Ways and Means
Committee asserting that the present
system of purchasing government sup
plies is unbusinesslike and that the gov

lars annually.
Bathrick says that parasites Of large
and small degree are living off the graft
now possible under the government s
method of purchasing millions of dol
lars worth of supplies. He alleges that
many of the purchasing agents are not
versed in business methods, and that a
Committee on Buying and Selling would
put the purchasing system on bust

 SHOW STRENGTH AT
 NATIONAL CAPITOL

Washingt April 19-Antf-suffra- gists appeared in force at the capitol today prepared to protest to the Sen ate woman suffrage committee against any constitutional amendment giving the right of franchise to their sex. They expressed regret that only two hours had been allotted them in which to present their arguments, but they settled down to make the best of their time. Because of the large number of women expected, the meeting was held in the Judiciary committees room.
 Among the principal speakers to pre- sent the view of the opposition to wo- mans suffrage were Mrs. Arthur M. Dodge, president of the national asso- citation opposed to woman suffrage; Mrs. A J. George, secretary Of the Massachusetts branch of the organiza- tion and Miss Lucy J. Price. one of it's foremost lecturers and workers.
 The women also brought with them letters of protest from many anti suffragists throughout the country. Among them were arguments written by Kate Douglas Wiggin and Molly Elliot Seawel1, authors, who condemn ed the suffrage cause. They were in the care of Mrs. Frances M. Scott, a pioneer in the anti-suffrage move ment.
