In Interest of Japan, He Says.

Before the doors were closed Senator
Works declared the amendment was de-
signed purely in the interest of Japan
and regardless of the interests of the
United States.
"The amendment. said he leaves the
United States with absolutely nothing but
the so-called gentiemen's agreement on
which to depend. Whenever that agree
ment is abrogated the entry of Japanese
into this country would be unrestricted.
We will be absolutely at the mercy of
Japan in the future il we have no other

tracked temporarily today in the Sem
ate. when that body voted to take up
for consideration the immigration bill.
Senator Sheppard Of Texas, in charge
of the prohibition measure, conferred
with Senator Smith of South Carolina,
chairman Of the immigration commit
tee. before the session today, and it
was arranged that the immigration
bill should be given the right of way.
Senator Sheppard expects to move to
take up the prohibition bill again as
soon as the immigration bill has been
disposed of.
Senator Smith is friendly to the
District prohibition bill. and the i'm
migration bill is on the caucus pro-
gram, said Senator Sheppard. "and
therefore made no attempt today to
have that measure taken up instead of
the immigration bill. Senator Smith
said that he believed the immigration
Dill would not REQUIRE more than day
or two to pass the Senate, and then
the way would be open for taking up
the prohibition bill"
Senator Sheppard said that he would

prohibition bill still further. one being to

Questions by Attorney Syme Relat-

regarding the latter's methods Of cross
examination, featured the hearing be-
fore the public utilities commission
this morning on the Potomac Electric
Power Company valuation. Mr.. Syme
was accused by the witness of framing
catch questions. The statement was
resented by Commissioner Brownlow,
who stated that 1t appeared to be a
diversion of the witness to comment
upon what was in Mr.. Syme's mind.

Syme to which the witness objected.
Insists on Answer.
The corporation counsel insisted on
knowing IL Mr.. Almert, in making this
allowance. had proceeded on the theory
that the conceivers were to be com
pensated for a new idea in suggesting
an electric light plant for Washington
or if the existence of similar plants in
other cities had been assumed. Mi
Aimert said that he could not carry
the hypothesis regarding this item all
over the United States. Pressed for an
answer to the question. however. he
said he had not assumed the existence
of plants elsewhere in making this al
lowance. In answer to an inquiry by
Commissioner Brownlow he stated that
he had taken the existence of other
plants into consideration in consider
ing cost items.
"Then you have assumed the exist
ence of electric companies elsewhere
for one purpose and not for another.

our supply Of new Mark mines; and
at Hampton Roads, Va, for our two

spent IN mining and mine sweeping
