INTERPRETATION OF
PACT OF 1928, ISSUE
Negotiations With Germany in
Frye Case Touch Right to
Destroy U. S. Ships.

The text of the American note on
the Frye case. which was sent 10
Germany June "a. has been made pub
lie by the State Department The
main controversy Is over the inter-
probation OF the treaty of 1928 with
Prussia. with an indirect bearing on
the submarine question.
This Government rests It's case on
that treaty, which. as Germany has
admitted. makes her liable to pay an
indemnity for the destruction of the
Frye.
This Government insists that the
case cannot properly be sent to a
prize court. 1t contends that the real
question Is what reparation must be
made for a breach of treaty obliga-
tions, and that this Is not for a prize
court to determine.
Secretary Lansing dissents vigor-
ously from the German assertion Of
right to destroy a contraband- laden
vessel even IL not practicable to stop
the contraband in any other way. Mr..
Lansing maintains that the treaty Of
1928 expressly prohibits such destruc-
tion.

RAILROADS SHOW BIG
INCREASE IN REVENUE
Gain Of $33 a Mile in April This
Year as Compared With
April of Last.

American railroads are showing a
marked increase in their net earnings,
say returns filed by them with the In
terstate Commerce Commission.
In April OF this year the net operat-
ing income of the rail carriers increased
$33 mile as compared with April,
1914. 1t Is explained. however. that
this increase Is not so much due to
an increase in the gross earnings as to
reductions in expenses which have been
effected in all parts OF the country.
The Bureau of Railway Economics. in
analyzing the figures for April, the
latest available, said:

A statement is expected from the Navy

That the Washington machinists are
aroused over the prospect Of a cut in

unions throughout the country OF the
plight Of the Washington machinists. :

the Secretary that organized machinists
throughout the country have never sub

reduction will not become effective. but

ascertain the necessity. Now we come

I'VE are not opposed TO the in
crease of the men at Indian Head,
but we do oppose a reduction of our
men here on the ground that it is
not necessary. The intent of Con-
gross was to give the Washington

duction. 1t was short -sightedness on
the part of the Navy Department in
not getting larger appropriation.
and Congress cannot be blamed.

Daniels was to allow the wages to

LIE IS PASSED
IN STATE SENATE
PITT AND FRIEDHOFF ENGAGE
IN LINGUISTICUFFS-GAM-
BLING BILL

CARSON CITY, New, March g.
THE lie direct" was passed in the
assembly this morning between Pitt
of Humboldt and Friedhoff of Lyon,
during a heated discussion on a mo-
ton to send the tax commission bill
to the committee or internal i'm
provements in preference to the COM
mittee on ways and means. During
his remarks Friedhoff made the as
sertion that Pitt would sell his body
and soul " to defeat the tax commits
sion bill.
For this reason Friedhoff said he
did not think it wise to send the bill
to the ways and means committee of
which Pitt is chairman, because he
believed there would be an attempt
to hold the bill ten days and then
filibuster it to death.
Pitt in reply said that any person
who said that he would sell his body
and souIi for anything was an "un-
mitigated liar" He asserted that
he would use every honorable meth
cd to pass useful legislation and de-
MED that he was opposed to the pres
ent tax commission bill.
He asserted that the progress of
legislation had been hampered and
was being hampered by the presence
of lobbyists, most of them being state
officials or members of state COM
missions. He said Friedhoff's re-
marks were inspired by lobbyists.
He closed his remarks by saying that
he was in favor of legislation that
would weed out these parasites"
During the discussion, which was
becoming general, a motion to recess
till this afternoon was made and on
roll call was carried, the vote being
25 to "a, leaving the motion to re-
fer the bill to committee open for
further discussion this afternoon.
An amendment to the anti-gam-
bling law was introduced by Sen
ator Arnold and referred to the rail-
road committee. 1t amends the first
section by removing the ban from
draw poker, stud poker, panguingue,
solo, black jack and whist. These
games under the proposed amend
ment may be played for money pro-
viding the real rotates and pc per-
centage is taken cut.
The twenty round boxing bill was
reported favorably this morning in
the senate, by the committee on edu-
cation. A minority report signed by
Chaplin and Keddie was filed. The
bill was referred to the committee on
education for amendments.
New bills introduced in the sen
ate today are to establish a school
of We Urinary control service at tie
university; teachers pension bill;
establishing at the university a pub
tic service department; establishing
a state board of control.
