NEED NEW LAWS TO
PROTECT BIG DITCH
Congress Requested to Supplant Rules
Against Spies in that
Region.

WASHINGTON. Aug. 5.-Activities
of persons suspected of being spies
employed by foreign governments to
acquire information regarding the ma
ture and extent of the defenses of the
Panama canal have made the admin
istration decide to request congress to
supplement the existing laws against
the improper acquisition Of knowledge
of military and naval plans and forti-
fiCations.
Several OF the military powers Of
the world are believed to have un-
dertaken to obtain information as to
the character Of the defenses of the
Panama canal. The latest incident to
excite suspicion is the operations of a
little Japanese power vessel, ostensibly
a fishing launch. which sought to
obtain a permit for pearl fishing in
the waters of Panama bay and vicin-
itN. The canal authorities have been
warned that this craft appeared to
have been making surveys.
