FOREIGN SPIES
REPORTED NEAR
PANAMA CANAL
Suspicious Japanese Power Yes
sci Thought to Have Been En-
gagged in Making Surveys in
Panama Bay

Washington, Aug. 6.-Activities OF per-
sons suspected of being spies employed
by foreign governments to acquire infor-
nation regarding the nature and extent
of the defences Of the Panama canal
have made the administration decide 10
request Congress to supplement the exist
ing laws against the improper acqulsltion
Of knowledge Of military and naval plans
and Notifications.
Representatives Of the department OF
Justice and Of the war and navy depart
ments have been in conference on the
subject and it is alleged that they will
agree upon some very drastic legislation
to be submitted to Congress. 1t is pos
sible that the scope of the conference
may be extended beyond the original
ideas of mere protection Of the secrets
of American coast defences to cover
generally such attempts as have been
common since the beginning Of the pres
ent war to destroy powder and munitions
plans. upon which the United States gov
eminent must rely in time Of trouble.
Several of the military powers of the
world are believed to have undertaken
to obtain information as to the charac-
ter of the defenses Of the Panama ca
nal The latest incident to excite sus-
picion is the operations Of little Jap
anese power vessel, ostensibly a fish
ing launch, which sought to obtain
permit for pearl fishing in the waters
Of Panama bay and vicinity The canal
authorities have been warned that thic
craft appeared to have been making
surveys and that these were not con-
fined to the water but extended to the
Istkmus proper
While the operations may have been
perfectly innocent in intent, and Only
such soundings were made and bear
ing taken as might be incident to the
pursuit Of pearl fisheries, the canal
zone authorities have regarded the
matter as of sufficient importance to
warrant investigation and report to
Washington. Meanwhile licenses have
been withheld until some general line
of policy can be formulated to govern
all such cases.
