Betrayal Is Charged.

| The Hebrews are betraying us in
| the war;" said NJ. Zamyslovsky Per
haps individual Jews have distin-
guished themselves; but the Jews as a
whole have betrayed the splendid Rus
sian army These remarks caused a
storm both of applause and protests.
NJ. Zamyslovsky continued, charac-
Iterizing the proposed Interpolation as
an insult to the army" He said that
when an army entered d village the
first thing it found necessary to do
was to get rid of the Jews.
At this point exception was taken to
the speakers use of the word Jew"
and opposition members shouted that
the speaker should not be allowed to
continue unless he could speak with
less feeling and more lecency
II cannot speak quietly of Jews" an
swered NJ. Zamyslovsky. because they
are traitors to the country. and are
strong in so far ma jority of the
imperial duma dance to their music"
NJ. Zamyslovsky held the Jews partly
responsible for the present high cost
of living. alleging it was caused by
their "specula ton and swindling"
Feeling ran high in the chamber. NJ
Zamyslovsky persisted in the use of
opponents yelled "Hooligan."
This member, as well as another who
INDUCED in similar epithets. was ex-
cluded from the duma for twenty four
hours by the president
The presiding officer was forced
finally to request NJ. Zamyslovskv TO
discontinue the speech. Shortly after

Three More Steamers
Reported Destroyed;
British Worry Grows

LONDON. March 25.-Recurrence of
submarine activity is causing increas-
ing worry among shippers and under
writers. although the insurance market
has held steady since the fixing of the
government rate of l per cent. which
has not been raised. Most Atlantic
voyages are insured under this ar
rangement. but east coast and North
sea assurances are increasingly difficult
to effect. Mediterranean voyages are
still very stiff at per cent.
The steamer Englishman of the Do
mnion line has been sunk. according
to Lloyds. 1t is stated that thus far
siXty-eight survivors have been &C
counted for.
Lloyds' report says the British
steamship Salybia has been sunk and
that the passengers and crew were
saved. In the last available shipping
records the vessel is reported as hav-
ing left Barbados March 3 for London.

patent Office and Interior Department
at another, and of the Treasury. State.

Eested. could he required TO report at

In the course of the investigation of
car service the mission found that
1900 passengers were carried during
the maximum half hour of travel on

course. the ears conveying these pas

TO other government buildings.
Within the next two weeks the sur

Would Exempt Express Companies.
The commission announced today that
II has sent TO Congress a favorable re-
port on the bill to exempt from the
operation of the public utilities law
such express companies as are now
subject to the jurisdiction of the in
IcrStdte commerce commission.
il also has made unfavorable re-
port on the bill 10 authorize the Wash
tngton and Old Dominion Railway
Company TO acquire by purchase or
condemnation land and property neces-
sary for terminal facilities at or near
3Sth and NJ streets northwest
According to the commission, such a
law would give the company blanket
authority to occupy streets and terri
tory with its tracks and structures in
an area Of eighteen blocks in George
town The commission believes that
the granting of such broad authority is
not in the public interest. but states that
IL would consider a bill authorizing the
company % extend its tracks on a def l.
nitely specified route.

For Consolidation of Lines.

out first is whether the commission has
authority to merge or authorize the
merging of corporate interests In the
event such authority is found to ex-
iSt il is understood to be the plan or
the federation TO actively urge amaisa-
nation of the street car lines, believing
that such merger will lead to univer-
sal transfers and other improvements.
William Mex. clayton Will head the
federation committee which VIII con-
fer with the utility commissioners The
date for the conference. however. has
not been announced.
The committee may make some rec
concentrations designed to improve
street car service. 1t is not improba BILE
that the committee will suggest that
the commission Investigate the prac-
liability of having government clerks
report for work at different hours
ranging. say. from a quarter of until
fifteen minutes past that hour. This
would give a half hour for transport
ing the 80 900 and more employees. the
ma jority of whom make a simultane-
-pus demand upon the facilities of the
car lines in trying to reach work at
the same time.
