TO PREVENT VIOLATIONS OF AMERICAN NEUTRALITY Power of President Enlarged By Joint Resolution of
 Congress.

Washington, Mar. All that was needed today to enlarge the power of President Wilson to prevent violations or American neutrality by vessels leaving United States ports with men or supplies for belligerent warships was the presidents approval of a joint resolution of congress. The res olution, substitute for that previous ly passed by the house, was unani- mously adopted by the senate early today following a conference at the White House last night between President Wilson and membe of tie foreign relations committee of the senate and house and others. It was later agreed to by the house. The resolution has the hearty support of state department officials who point ed out the imm ediate need of such legislation of the Critical situation resulting from the European war. At tention was called by tn csc officials to the fact that the American govern ment had been hampered by made quate laws in preventing vessels from leaving the United States with sup plies for belligerent warships in con- travention of American neutrality. The resolution adopted by congress is direct result of information obtained by the government in the recent grand jury inquiry in New York into al- legged shipments of supplies to bellig- erents at sea.
 The resolution becomes effective immediately upon being signed by the president and will continue during the existence of the European war. It empowers the president to direct cus- toms collectors to withhold clearance from any vessel of American or for eign register or license which the pres ident believes to be about to carry fuel, arms, ammunition or supplies to any warship, or tender, or supply ship of belligerent nation in violation of the obligations of the United States as a neutral nation.'
 If such a vessel sailed or attempted to sail without clearance, a fine of from $2,000 to 10000, imprisonme of two years, or both, and forfeiture of the vessel would be imposed The president is empowered to use the military forces of the country to en- force the law.

OBJECTS TO REPRISAL
 POLICY OF ALLIES
Former Member of British Parliament Scores Plan Against Germany
 Outlined By Asquith.

London, March 4, 11:36 A. M.- Thomas Gibson Bowles former mem Der of parliament and a writer of naval matters, in an address before the Institute of Ship Brokers in Lon don expressed with much emphasis his inability to understand the policy of reprisal against Germany outlined by Premier Asquith in his speech in the house of commons.
 What is to happen" MT. Bowles asked, ito cargoes of enemy owner ship, origin and destination which are brought into port? They are not to be confiscated; this is expressly declared. Are they to be purchased by the captors, according to the doc Urine of preen1 ption, within ten per cent. compensation for delay?"
 If the latter course was pursued, MT. Sowles pointed out, Great Brit ain would trade with Germany on large scale. If preemption was not to be "eGorted to, MT. BoWles asked if seized goods would be held in trust
 The speaker criticised the Asouith policy in that, so far as it has been outlined, 1t neglects to conform to the comr.on law, which protects neutral traders. He further object ed to the preniers policy because it does not infiict maximum damage up on the enemy by confiscating the ene-- 1ny's goods found in neutral ships.

MANY OTHER BOMB PLOTS
 EXIST, DECLARES WOOD
District Attorney Perkins to Hurry Trial of AbarnO
 and CarbOEg.

New York, March 4.-The existence of many plots which the police have been working was made known today in a statement by Arthur Wood, rolice commissioner, in commenting on the indictment by the grand jury of Frank Abarno and Charles Car bone, charged with attempting to ex- Dlode a bomb in St. Patrick's s Cathedral on Tuesday. Commission CT Wood said that as far as this case is concerned if does not go beyond Abarno and Carbone, but that therc were other plots and other men which the police were watching. The com missioner indicated that Amedeo Poignant, the young patrolman. re- sponsible for the arrests of Abafno and Carbone, would have a part in exposing other bomb plots.
 Justification for placi the bomb Tn St. Patrick's was summed up by Abarno when arraigned yesterday With the brief statement that We wanted to put a bomb in some rich neighbornood so that the rich would understand the sorrows of the poor.
 'I plead guilty to the act" Abarno said, when asked to plead, but I did not mean to do any harm I was there, but it was all the idea Of this other man. referring to Officer Poignant. Carbone entered a plea of not guilty.
 District Attorney Perkins stated to- day that he would move to have and Carbone tried as soon as possible. The men will be brought into court again tomorrow when their l1eac will be formally entered and assigned to them if they have not made other arrangements for their defense before that time.

Senate \djourns Without Name Going
 In For COnfirDatiOr.

Attorney W. F. Delaney, who has been recommended for postmaster in this city by Congressman Lonergan, had not returned from Washington up to press time this afternoon and the exact status of his case could not be learned.
 The United States senate adjourned this noon without MT. Delaneys name being presented for confirmation as far as is known. It is not believed that this fact will make any difference as the president can make a recess appointment to the postmastership. In this case MT. Delaney would serve under this appointment until con- trmed by the senate and then for four years from the date of his con- frmation.
