BILL PASSED TO BAR
MIXED MARRIAGES
House Measure Makes Union Of
Whites and Negroes in
District Crime.
EVEN OUTSIDERS AFFECTED

WAsHINGToN, Jan. lily vote OF
22S to so the House to-day passed a bill
prohibiting the intermarrage of white
persons and negroes in the District OF Co
lumbia. The bill is drastic in its pro-
visions. 1t imposes both fine and i'm
prisonment upon any white or negro who
violates the law and inficts similar
punishment on any minister or magistrate
who performs such ceremony.
The measure. which was introduced by
Representative Clark OF Florida, Is pat
termed after statutes In Southern States
forbldding miscegena ton. The bill affects
other than those who live On the District.
For example. II white man entered tho
city with a negro wife the couple would at
once be liable TO prosecution. The law
recognizes as null and void all such mar
riages whether performed in Washing
ton or not.
The bill provides that any person who
contracts a marriage In violation OF the
provision shall be f1ned anywhere from
81 900 to $1,000. or be imprisoned for not
less than one year OF for more than five
years. The punishment prescribed for any
who officiates at such marriage
involves a fine OF from $3.50 to $1,000 and
for not less than six months
nor more than one year, Any person
having one-eighth negro blood IL held to
be a negro within the meaning OF the
term used in the bill.
The Clark bill provoked a lively de-
bate In the House Representative Madden
OF Illinois was particularly frank in his
discussion OF the bill He declared that
many were opposed TO mixed marriages
but apparently had no objection 10 whites
assocatng with women OF the negro race.

airk .,,,k,
a crime said Mr.. Madden. He
declared that negroes are willing to con
fine their marriages 10 their own race. but
they have a right TO demand that the
negro women shall he respected.
A bill similar TO the Clark measure was
passed by the House a year or ~ ago.
II was sidetracked by the Senate, The
Senate Is expected to give similar treat
ment TO the bin passed by the House to-
day

SUIT SHOWS ITALY Is
BUYING HORSES HERE
Action for S132,253 Against
Agent-Purchases Thought
for War.

The fact that representatives. OF the
Italian Government have been buying
horses eXtensively~in this country for
immediate shipment was disclosed in the
Supreme Court yesterday when Justice
Delehanty granted an attachment for
St32,253 against the property of Luigi
Corbelle, one OF the agents Of the Italian
Government who has been purchasing
the horses here. The horses, II Is be-
lieved. are wanted by Italy for use IL
that country enters the war I'm Europe.
The attachmens was Issued on the
ground that Corbelle is not a resident
OF this State and was granted on the
petition OF BENJAMIN Wyman Morse, son
of Charles w. Morse, and Mark J.. Oil
bert as members of the Arm OF Gilbert
& Morse Deputy Sheriffs are now seek
ing property OF Corbclle's that may be
tied up on account OF the claim OF the
plaintiffs
A petition by Mr.. Gilbert stated that on
December last his firm made an agree
ment with Corbelle to transport 1000 head
of horses from New York city 10 either
Leghorn or Savona, Italy. for SOL a head.
As soon as the steamers for transporting
the horses were ready Gilbert & Morse
were to notify the Fiss, Doerr & Carroll
Company, horse dealers. Then. within
twenty-four hours. the defendant would
load enough horses TO fll the steamers.
Corbelle also agreed. 1t is alleged. to de-
post $4,000 with the Guaranty Trust
Company for each steamer chartered.
Mr.. Gilbert said that his firm has had
steamer berthed and ready to take on
tho horses for more than week, but that
tho defendant has refused 10 deliver any
horses under tho contract and has also
repudiated the agreement.
Tho plaintiffs say than II would cost
them $4,000 to transport the 1000 horses
and that under the agreement they
would have received $4,000. making a
profit of $4,000. They fix their damage
at this amount, which. with the S3,I9s
spent in maintaining the steamer waiting
for horses, makes the SiS2,253 sued for.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 11.-Strong evil
dence that sentiment IL growing in the
House Committee on Naval Affairs ia
vorable to a more progressive policy in
the upbullding OF the navy was given at
meeting Of the committee to-day. BY
n unanimous vote the committee incor-
porated n provision in the naval bill au-
thorizing the creation OF a naval reserve
to be composed OF honorably discharged
enlisted men. The committee also adopted
an amendment creating two new Offices
In the lighting line OF the service. Ad-
miral and Nice-Admiral.
Against these concessions to the de-
mand for a larger navy the committee
by a vote OF II to refused to adopt
an amendment proposing an addition OF
5000 men to the personnel OF the naval
service. 1t also rejected an alternative
proposal for the addition OF $500 men
to the enlisted personnel.
Despite the adverse action on these
two amendments the advocates OF a
greater navy are elated over the naval
reserve plan and tho advance IN rank OF
officers In charge OF -bsttleship fleets.
They are hopeful that an addition to tho
personnel may he embodied In the bill by

inclined to the opinion that the House
will concur In H.
