when they are needed to prevent the
use of radio apparatus for any I'M
neutral act by ships of any belligerent
nation"
The probability is that some of the
cruisers now on the west coast of
Mexico will be sent to the zone instead
of destroyers.
At the British Embassy it is sug-
gested that the British golfers which
are alleged to have been using their
wireless within territorial waters of
the canal zone may not have received
word of canal regulations on this point,
as these only reached London yester-
day. British officials state that Great
Britain has no objection whatsoever to
the enforcement by the United States
of the wireless regulations which the
latter has proclaimed, and has been in
sympathy with the censorship idea
from the outbreak of the war. 1t is
pointed out by high officials of the
Washington government in this con-
nection that belligerent Warships, after
being given due warning. probably Will
not use their radio apparatus within
the three mile limit, as it is easy for
them to move out few miles to the
high seas, where there is no prohibi

NEED ARMY AT CANAL.
Naval Officer Says U. S. Not Well
Prepared.

WASHINGTON, Dec. Is. = Com
mander Sterling, of the Atlantic fleet
submarine flotilla, inresponse to SER
les of questions before the house naval
committee regarding the preparedness
of the United States to defend the PAN
anna canal in case of war expressed the
opinion that large mobile army would
be required in addition to the navy to
protect and keep the canal open.
Sterling pointed ont that the lack of
a base would handicap operations of
any hostile navy against the canal.
The nearest foreign base. he said. is
Jamaica, a British possession. Reply
ing to the question of Representative
Farr of Pennsylvania. if the United
States was prepared to defend the can
al against "a navy of any size. say that
of GERMANY" Sterling said: Not very
we'll prepared" Questioned about the
Pacific Coast. he said he thought both
coasts of the United States would he
equally as safe so long as the canal
could be kept open for the passage Of

THE PEARLS OF THE iLLINol:

THE PEARLS OF THE ILLINOIS
Very little pearling was done on
the Illinois previous to 1892, although
some years before this date occa-
sional pearl hunters made frequent
trips and extended Investigations
from time to time over the greater
part of the river During the earlier
period pearls alone were the object
of the search, there being no particu-
lar demand for the shells. and. be-
sides. the pearler of that day had
neither time nor inclination to save
them; they were left after examine
ton, usually in small piles along tho
shore as a waste product. II a To-
cality in which he was working did
not show immediate results he would
move further along, always hoping
and expecting to find a mussel bed
which would produce a pearl of con-
siderable value. thus amply repaying
him for his time and outfit. The

Florence was soon able to walk about. Or

on toe sand dunes and gazing out at sea.

So tie following night he departed for Bos-

Plans for Conquest of
South American Markets

Plans In a campaign for the conquest
of South American markets we're an
nounced today by Secretary of Com
merce Redheld. A permanent and
travelling force of trade envoys will be
dispatched to aid In the extension Of
American trade, so that what loss Is
encountered by the reason of the
abridgement OF European exports may
be made up by gains in the South
American market, which is as deeply
affected by the war as is this country
Secretary Redfield explained today the
force will consist Of men familiar with
the language. customs. and business
methods OF Latin America, who have
of business carried on with Latin
American countries
-Four of the department officers will
be commercial attaches for whom pro-
vision was made by recent legislation" :"
Secretary Redf1eld said. They will be
assigned to Rio de Janeiro. Buenos

these officials will be at their posts by
October l.
I'm addition to these, six travelling
commercial agents will cover all the
commercial areas OF South America
This number will include specialists in
hardware, textiles, lumber. and other
industries, and arrangements will be
made also for general study of any
commercial and Industrial opportunity
that may be open to American inter-

SIayden NettIed by Reference
to "Real Estate Ring in
Objections.

The House bill providing Cor the re.
moval of the Botanic Gardens from
their present location to Rock Creek
Park went over to the Senate today
where its friends will endeavor to Sc
cure action before the end of the ses-
sion. The bill, reported by Congress
man Slayden of Texas, passed the
House late yesterday, 1877 to So.
Opposition to the measure was led
by Congressman Howard Of Georgia,
who wanted the gardens moved to Po-
tomac Park and who saw behind the
Rock Greek proposal a plan to build
eventually a boulevard which would
benefit certain property.
Talk Of real estate ring nettled

that some gentlemen seem to have
in their minds a suspicion that other
gentlemen are interested in real es-

Suicide Not His Daughter
Declares John 6. Moore

The young woman who committed sui
eide In a Philadelphia hotel last Mon
day was not Miss Blanche NJ. Moore,
who has been missing for the last eight
months from her home, 100 Tenth street
northwest
John C. Moore, a Treasury Depart
ment employe, who went to Philadel-
phia to view the body, returned home
yesterday. and said 1t was not that
of his daughter. Mr.. Moore said. how
ever, that the young woman's home was
undoubtedly in this city. as he had seen
her on the street here. but had no idea
what her name was or where she lived.
The woman, who was about twenty
five years old, registered at the Phila-
delphia hotel as Miss F. II. Moore.
Washington. D. c." No papers were
found in her belongings that would give
any clue to her identity. She went to
the hotel late Sunday night.

DEFEAT Of FORAKER
SUITS REPUBLICANS
Leaders in Congress Believe
Nomination Would Have
Been Drawback to Party.

Defeat of former Senator Joseph Ben
son Foraker in the fight for the Re-
publican Senatorial nomination in Ohio
and the nomination OF his opponent,
Harding, has given the utmost satisfac-
ton to the great body OF Republicans
In the House and Senate. Personally.
Foraker has many friends in Congress.
but many of the men who have regard
for him on the personal side derlored
the prospect Of his winning the nomi-
nation for the Senatorship.
This is the case not alone with Pro-
gressive Republicans, but with others
who are known as regular. They could
not fail to perceive that the nomination
OF Foraker would be hurtful to the
Republicans in the Congressional cam
paign this fall
Both Democratic and Bull Moose lead
ers were anxious to see Foraker nom!.
mated. Had this eventuated, they would
have proclaimed to the country that the
complete domination Of the reaction
aries. Capital of the Foraker nomi-
nstion would have been made by Demo
Gratis and Bull Moose, not alone in
Ohio. but all over the country, and
especially in those States where the
progressive Republican elements are
strong.
So far as Progressive Republicans in
CONGRESS are concerned. and some OF
the less hidebound of the regulars, they
teel that the Republican party has
enough TO bear as it is, with the nouH-
nation OF Penrose in Pennsylvania; with
Curtis nominated against Bristow for
the Senate in Kansas; with Uncle Joe
Cannon once more grasping for office,
and several more of the men who were
powerful in the Cannon-Aldrich refine
seeking to be returned.
The defeat of Penrose for the Senate
in Pennsylvania would be hailed with
much Republican satisfaction in Con-
gress. He is generally regarded as
nearly as much OF a weight around the
neck Of his. party as Foraker, IL nomi-
mated for the Senate. would have been.
But there seems little prospect of de-
feating Penrose. He has a powerful
and compact organization. Pinchot, can
didate Of the Progressive arty. though
he is making most vigorous campaign,
cannot be elected, and A. Mitchell Pal
mer. the Democratic candidate, Is not
popular with a powerful element of his
own party.
