SPIES SUSPECTED
AT PANAMA CANAL
japanese Power Vessels Operations
Excite Suspicious - Congress
May Take Action.

WASHINGTON, Aug. T. Activities
of persons suspected of being spies en-
ployed by foreign governments to ac-
quire information regarding the nature
and extent of the defenses of the
Panama canal have made the admins
tratlon decide to request congress to
supplement the existing laws against
the improper acquisition of knowledge
of military and naval plans and forti-
tications.
Representatives have been in confer
ence on the subject, and it is expected
that they will agree upon some drastic
legislation to be submitted TO congress.
II is possible that the scope of the
conference may be extended beyond the
original ideas of mere protection of
the secrets of American coast defenses,
To cover generally such attempts as
have been common since the beginning
of the present war to destroy powder
and munition plants, upon which the
United States government must relv
in time of trouble.
Several of the military powers of
the world are believed to have under
taken to obtain information as TO
the character Of the defenses of the
excite suspicion is the operations of a
little japanese power vessel, osten-
sibly a fishing launch, which sought
to obtain permit for pearl fishing in
the waters of Panama bay and vicin-
ity. Tha canal authorities have been
warned that this craft appeared to have
been making surveys and that these
were not confined to the water. but
extended to the Isthmus proper
While these operations may have
been perfectly innocent in intent and
only such souhdings were made and
bearings taken as might br incident to
the pursuit of pearl fisheries. the ca
nal 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 GOV
crn all such cases.
