AUTO FOR MARSHALL?
NEVER, THEY DECLARE
Hoosier Lawmakers, Cox and
Gray, Oppose Appropri-
alton of ST, 500.

A fight to prevent Congress from ap-
propriating $500 for a motor car for the
Vice President is imminent in the House
of Representatives today, as Representa-
tive Cox and Representative Gray, both
of the Vice Presidents own state and
party, are planning to do everything in
feature of the conference report on the
deficiency appropriation bill.
Representative Cox and Representative
Gray are constitutionally opposed to auto
mobiles either for pleasure or business.
A fight started late today when the
House took up Senate amendment to
the bill affecting the tenure of Com
merce Court judges.
Senate Amendment.
The Senate amendment reads as fol-
lows:
Nothing herein contained shall be
deemed to affect the tenure of any
judges now acting as circuit judges by
appointment, but such judges shall
continue to act, under assignment as
judges of the district courts and cir
cult court of appeals; and in the event
of and on the death, resignation or re-
moval from Office of any such judges,
his office is hereby abolished, and no
successor to him shall be appointed"
This has the effect. if enacted, Of com
pleting the abolishment of the Commerce
Court, but does not suddenly dump the
judges of the court into the cold world
They are provided with salaries and work
for the remainder of their lives. ss
The principal items of appropriation In
the bill affecting the District of COlum-
bia will be passed by the House, as there
Is no important disagreement.

Wreck Confirms Senate
Committees Prophecy

Senator Fletcher of Florida. a member
of the Senate committee which investi-
gated the Titanic disaster. commenting
today upon the loss of the Volturno. said
that during the investigation the commit
tee had. laid special stress upon the fact
that the next great maritime disaster
probably would result from accident TO
the ship from within.
"The prophecy made at that time was
realized in the disaster of the Nolturno, =
said Senator Fletcher. 'The. recommen-
dations made by the committee looked to
safeguarding the passengers and crews
Of vessels against just such accidents
The committee recommended that con
tinuous wireless service be maintained:
that the number of lifeboats be increas-
ed: that trained men be employed to man
these lifeboats and that drills with the
lifeboat be bad constantly, and that
the bulkheads be extended UP through
the entire ship.
at appears from the early accountss OF
the yolturno disaster that the wireless
did good service. and, that vessels hnr='
ried to the support of the doomed ship;
BUT. the statement that four out of six
Of the lifeboats of the Volturno were
wrecked against the sides of the ship
seems to indicate that the men who man
ned the lifeboats were not properly
trained. This is, a matter of the utmost

on these vessels. The bill has been re-
ported from the committee on commerce
and a unanimous consent agreement has
been made to take up the bill when the

CANAL DREDGES TO WORK
ON CUCURACHA SLIDE
Eust Be Cleared Away Before
Waterway Is Ready for
Large Ships.

Huge dredges today are clearing away
the remains of Gamboa dixie after the
great blast set off yesterday when
President Wilson touched button in
the White House. When the dixie is
cleared away the dredges will attack
Cucuracha slide. which now stretches
all the way across the Culebra cut.
About 100000 yards Of material must
be excayated before the waterway will
open for large ships, and Col. Goethals
estimates that this will be accomplished
at the rate of half million yards a
month. In other words, although the
canal will be navigabie for small vessels
within very few weeks. and is prac-
tically completed. it will take until about
January l to finish the deep channel.
This. however. Is a mere detail The
blowing up the dixie yesterday marks
the practical completion of "the
mightiest deed the hand of man has
done"

those who are twenty-one years of age
and over to support their INDECENT
parents was considered by the charities

late its annual report. The committee
voiced the need Of a greater number of
probation officers connected with the

The report will also embody recon-
mendations favoring electrocution for

discretion to juries, so that they NAV
recommend to the judge Imprisonment i'm

FAILS TO REACH WASHINGTON.
Wireless Station Gets No Message
From Burning Vessel.

The radio station of the navy at Airing
ton. was not drawn into the wireless
vortex of the calls and responses for help.
This station is about 1900 miles from
the scene of the disaster. and while it
would be possible for the Arlington in

steamers talking with the sinking ship
has a plant powerful enough for the

Forced to Meet Rules.

The total carrying capacity of the
steamer was listed at 1.J94 persons, in
clGding the crew. The regulations re-
quired that 500 life preservers and life
belts be carried, but at the time of the
inspection last December the United
States officers found that only 1.2s2 were
carried and the steamship officials were
forced TO supply the deficiency in this re-
spect before the Volturno was allowed to
sail.
Under American standards. every steam
er Of 1000 tons or over must be equipped
with eight hand extinguishers, distributed
about the ship. The Volturno, vessel
of 3,5s1 tons. would have been required
10 carry from twenty-five to twenty -eight
hand extlnguishers. The Volturno, how
ever, under the British regulations, was
not required to have hand extiIguishers
at all, and had none. What she did have
in the way OF fire protection consisted of
three double-action steam fire pumps
each of which was less than a cubic foot
IN size, and two double-action handcar
pumps. The vessel carried only 4J0 feet
of hose.
