INCREASE IN U. S. REVENUE
For First Time Since July Federal
Revenues for One Month Are
Better Than Year Before.

Washington. March 2.-For the first
time since July government revenues
for a month of the present fiscal year
have beaten the pace set during the
fiscal year 1914.
During February the treasury de-
partment received in revenue from all
sources s43, 636, 272, compared with re-
ceipts in February, 1914, of $43, 633, $50
Ordinary expenditures, however, have
amounted to $50, 1877, 624, leaving a net
deficit for the month of about S12, $780,
900. The excess of ordinary disburse-
ment for the eight months of the fiscal
year which ended yesterday, over re-

ternal revenue receipts ran up to s24,-

Congressional Committee Says
Absentee Direction is to
Blame for Strike.
VICIOUS WORK BY MILITIAMEn
Colorado State Soldiers Guilty of
Brutal and Lawiess Acts
During Mine Troubles.

Washington, March "a scathing
arrangement of the Colorado militia
for its treatment of striking miners
and their families is contained in the
report submitted to the House to-
day by the mines and mining sub
committee, which investigated the
Colorado coal strike.
While scoring conditions generally
in the coal fields and criticizing many
of the acts of the mine operators, in
Guiding alleged violation of state
laws, the committee reported that no
evidence was found of a conspiracy in
restraint of trade to limit the output
of the mines, nor conclusive proof
of the existence of peonage-
Makes No Recommendations.
AS the strike has been settled no
specific recommendations are made.
The committee appeals, however, for
arbitration in such situations 1t de-
clares that these disturbances are
Nationwide in their Importance; that
the federal government is the only
power competent to deal with them
and, after referring to the testimony
of John d. Rockefeller, jr., who dis
claimed responsibility for Colorado
conditions, adds:
Absentee owners or directors by
their absence from the scene of such
disturbances cannot escape their
moral responsibility for conditions in
and about properties in which they
are interested"
Mining Laws Not Enforced.
Liberal extracts from the two thou
sand pages of testimony taken by the
committee are embodied in the re-
port, with this comment:
Considerable testimony on both
sides of the controversy, we believe
unreliable. Colorado has good min
ing laws, if they are enforced, yet in
this state the percentage of fatalities
is larger than in any other, showing
there is undoubtedly something wrong
in reference to the management of
it's coal mines. 1t is commended by the
miners as one of their grievances
that the operators do not obey the
law
The testimony of James Dalrymple,
state mine inspector, calls attention
to the many violations of the law by
the operators and the miners claim
this as one of the causes leading up
to the strike. The report of Mr. Dali
rymple also sayg he found in some
cases the operators had put in opera
ton new devices and systems of an
advantage of the miners.

RIVER BILL PASSES SENATE
Measure Carries $4,000, 900 for Con-
tinuing Work Now Under Way
No New Projects.

Washington, March AT 6:37 a.
m. yesterday the senate passed the
river and .harbor bill, carrying $780,
100000, the last of the large supply
bills to come before it, and then re-
cessed until IL o'clock. The money
is to continue work now under way,
no new projects being provided for.
1t was only by taking the unprece-
denied step of arousing the vice presi-
dent and requesting his attendance,
that a quorum wase obtained to pass
the bill.
Only forty-six senators could be
found and two more were needed to
make a quorum. A motion was made
and carried for the issuance of war
rants for the arrest of absentees,
Senator Bryan, temporarily in the
chair, declined to sign the warrants
on the ground they could be signed
only by the vice president or presi
dent pro tenn, Senator Clarke.
After a parliamentary wrangle, how
ever, Senator Stone moved that the
vice president be requested to attend
This was carried and the vice presi
dent was aroused from his bed about
5 O'Clock. Just before he arrived, how
ever, Senator Nelson, Senator Page and
Senator Dillingham; reported and made
a quorum The vice president, how.
ever. resumed the chair. The river
bill was then passed substantially

POLICE FOIL ANARCHIST PLOT
Missile in ST. Patrick's Cathedral,
New York,

New York, March 3.TAn attempt to
blow up ST. Patricks Cathedral with
a bomb today, and the arrest of two
men by detectives who had been in
formed for months of their activities,
was followed by an announcement
made at police headquarters that the
arrests had baked an Anarchist plot
10 kill with bombs Andrew Carnegie,
John d. Rockefeller, John D. Rookie
teller, jr., and other wealthy men.
Thereafter the Anarchists, accord
ing to the police, were to inaugurate
in New York City reign of terror.
1t was part of the plot, the police
assert, for gangs of men armed with
rifles and revolvers to appear stimuli
taneous1y in various parts of the city
to shoot and to pillage; the biggest
banks of New York City were to be
blown up and many wealthy men were
to be slain.
The wrecking of the cathedral was
TO be the signal for the opening of the
elaborate campaign of murder and
footing
For months central office detec-
tive had worked in the inner circle of
the Anarchists, according to the police
story, and had kept the detective bu-
reau advised of all their plans. This
detective, Frank Baldo, assisted in the
manufacture of the bomb with which
the attempt was made today to blow
up the cathedral The detective &C
companied the bomb thrower to the
edifice and sat with him while he
lighted the bomb and hurled it at the
altar.
Immediately the cathedral, in which
eight hundred persons sat at worship,
became alive with detectives, whose
presence had been unsupported by the
bomb carrier. Baldo, sitting beside
him. arrested him; detectives sitting
in the pew behind, dashed into the
aisle and stamped out the sputtering
fuse. The congregation hardly real
lied what had happened when it was
all over, and there was no panic.

THIS MEANS ANOTHER PROTEST
Everything Destined for Germany
Now May BE cIassed as Contra
band by the Allies.

Washington. March All CONNER
ciaI intercourse by sea between Ger
many and the outside world has been
declared prohibited by Great Britain
and France.
If this policy is enforced, it viii no

hitherto of a non-contraband character
from the United States to Germany, di-
rectly or indirectly, and from the lat
ter countries the supply of dyestuffs
and other merchandise for consump-
ton in this country will be cut OF
The impression is general in official
quarters that a strong protest will be
made against the action of the Allies.
which is regarded as an unprecedented
and novel step. Officials point out
that in the reprisals which the bellig
erents are making toward each other
there is a singular forgetfulness of the
fact that whatever might be the viola
tions of International custom as be-
tween these countries at war, this
could not affect the status of interna-
tiona1 rules as between the United
States and countries with which she is
at peace
The general disregard of precedents,
it is pointed out, has made the posi-
ton of neutrals more delicate in the
present circumstances than ever be-
fore, though a somewhat similar sit
uation which led to embargoes by the
United States and the non-intercourse
arose in the early part of the Nine
teenth century during the Napoleonic
wars. A blockade was declared by
Great Britain against the German
coast from the River Elbe to the port
of Brest (France), inclusive.
Napoleon, then in camp at Berlin,
proclaimed counter blockade against
the entire British coast and prohibited
commerce with England. Great Brit
ain then retaliated by issuing an order
in council prohibiting neutral vessels
from trading with the ports of France
and her allies and with all ports of
Europe from which the British flag
was excluded.

Bombardment of DardaneIIes
Resumed With Fifty-tWo
BattIeships in Line,
SHIPS OUTRANGE BATTERIES
Some of Defenses on European Side
of Straits Have Suffered Severely
BY Fire of Fleet-Fightine
Hard in East.

London, March 4.-According to dis
patches received here from Mytilene
and Tenedos islands, says Reuters
Athens correspondent, the allied fleet
has destroyed the batteries of Kilid
Bahr, and Banakale and arrived near
Dardanelles
There are over 100000 Turks on the
GaHipoh coast under Issad Pasha. The
village of Yenishahr is reported to
have been destroyed by fire.
The bombardment was resumed this
morning at 10 o'clock when fifty-two
ships entered the straits. Four battle
ships bonn barded the Turkish positions
on the Gulf of Saros. At noon the
Smelling was redoubled in violence for
two hours The results are not yet
known.
Allied detachments, which landed at
Kun Kale, on the Asiatic side of the
strait at the entrance to the Darda-
nelles, met and dispersed the Turkish
garrison
Yenishahr Bombarded.
A Constantinople dispatch dated
March 2 received by the Reuter- Tele-
gram Company by way of Amsterdam.
confirms the announcement that some
of the forts on the European side OF
the Dardanelles have suffered severely
by the fire of the allied battleships.
Ships Outrange Forts.
The British battleships, says this
dispatch, completely outranged the
forts, the guns of which were unable
to reply effectively, so that the battle
ships gained part of the desired eff
fects. Moreover, the fleet has received
reinforcements and now more than
forty big battleships are lying off the
Dardanelles, besides a great number
of small cruisers, torpedo boat de-
stroyers and other craft.
The further advance of the fleet
seems TO be impossible owing to the
chain of mines and the forts. An at
tack from land would be welcomed by
the Turks, who have gathered a strong
army there, composed of their best
troops.
