 WASHINGTON. Jan. 22-Several republicans and notably Gillett of Massachusetts, Cox of Indiana and Hampton Moore of Pennsylvania sought to defeat the Alaska railroad emergency appropriation by every means in their power.
 Gillett was one of the most vigorous opponents of the appropriation and referred to the road In debate as a nothing but democratic luxury. Moore thought that the money had better be expended in the states where 1t would benefit far greater number of people and Cox was opposed on the ground that the railroad was unneces- sary Chairman Fitzgerald was one of the vigorous proponents of the bill declaring that Now that the work has been started. 1t Is the wise and economical thing to go ahead and com- pelte It."

WHERE TEDDY" FELL DOWN.
Prohibited Import of Arms to Porto
 Rico But Fixed No Penalty

San Juan, Porto Rico. Dec. 26.- Porto Rico has been used as a base of supplies for revolutionary agents for Santo Domingo, is the belief of United States officials here who re- gently discovered and confiscated a large quantity of revolvers and rifle shells concealed in barrels of codf1sh and destined for the neighboring re- public. Two arrests were made fol- lowing the contiscation of the ammu- milton but when grand jury investi- gation followed it was discovered that although smuggling of ammunition into Santo Domingo was probable, that there was no public punishme ent provided by the law.
 During the administration of Presi- dent Roosevelt congress passed a joint resolution authorizing the presi- dent to issue a proclamation forbid . ding the sending of munitions of war into Santo Domingo, but the permis- sion was the only prohibition on rec ord. Officials believe that the system atic traffic in munitions has been broken up.

NO FREIGHT INTERFERENCE.
New Secrecy Order Will Not Cause
 Congestion

New York, Dec. 26-Representa- tives of the British steamship lines said yesterday that the withholding of information concerning the departZ ure of their vessels from New York or Boston would not cause any freight congestion on the piers. The steam ship agents throughout the United States contract to accept freight to bes forwarded to New York or Boston, and shipped on the first available ves- sel. Freight is not accepted by the agents for any particular steamship or any set date.
 ment grain, flour, cereals, and other foodstuffs have precedence, and the less important freight has to remain on the piers until there is an oppor- tunity to ship it.
 The companies will not be able to withhold the sailing dates of their steamships from the postmaster, who has to have it for the foreign mailing list.
 A steamship manager said yester- day that the mail would be marked in the postofflce list to close at a cer- tain hour and the steamship must leave her pier a few hours later. Af- terward the captain would anchor somewhere outside Sandy Hook until the next morning if he deemed it ex- pedient to do so.
 The Italian ships are advertised to sail on certain dates from New York, and generally leave from two tossix days later. The French line agents have not received any instructions thus far to refuse information about the arrival and departures of their vessels from New York, but may get the orders from the head office in Paris by the Rochambeau, which is due from Bordeaux this week
