But Prices Unchanged

New York, March 2.-The Sew York
Evening Sun financial review today
said
Trading in today S stock market was
even more sluggish than in yesterday IS
session. Prices were, however, distinct
ly firmer throughout the list, with some
qualifications for the railroad shares,
several Of which were heavy. Foreign
selling of rails like Union Pacific, New
York Central, Northern Pacific and
Southern PPacific has been much in
evidence of late, and supply coming

ings not needed as collateral for loans.
AS for the industrial issues, the
strength displayed consistently after
the first half hour was undoubtedly due
to covering by the short interests and
the scarcity of stocks.
There was relatively good demand
for the copper and sugar shares, the
latter stiffening on reports from Cuba
that large percentage of the sugar
plants were again in operation. Copper
issues were affected by persistent
rumors of another huge foreign order
impending for delivery in the second
half of this year. Gains of more than

A feature was the sharp recovery il

FOR S535.OOO.OOO
Is Passed by Senate and Goes
TO HOuSe--GreateSt Ever
Allowed

Washington, March 2.-Thc admins
tration's giant $535 100000 naval bill
the greatest naval defense measure
ever passed by an American congress
passed the senate late today by unan-
imous consent without a roll call.

this increase the senate authorized a
$3.50, 100000 bond issue.
Virtually every member of the SEN
ate was present. Senator LaFollette
was in. the chamber when the motion
was put and offered no opposition.
The bill will go back to the house
where it is to be rushed through with
out delay and put to the president to
sign probably late tomorrow.
All moneys in the measure are made
Immediately available. They are to be
used for preparation, and not for any
back deficiencies.
The bill provides for the following
new war vessels:
Three battleships at $l5,5OO,OOO each
One. battle cruiser at $l9,000,0OO.
Three scout cruisers at $6,O0O,OO0.
Fifteen destroyers at 81 100000.

"The alleged letter of Alfred Zim-

declared. "It is impossible to believe

made public simultaneously with frantic
appeals of the allied premiers enjoining
the United States to enter the war.

"The intention is, of course" the
statement continued, "to arouse the
war spirit of the peace living west and

By John Grandens.


Omitted Press staff correspondent
Berlin, via wireless to the United
Press, March 2.-If the United States
decides the sinking of the Cunard liner
Laconia is a cause for war, Germany
will regard responsibility for the con
flict as resting upon Washington.
In well-informed circles it was stated
today that Germany, having warned all
neutral countries that all ships in the
war zone would be sunk without warn
ing, it is the fault of neutrals if their
ships are sunk in this danger zone.
The German press and public alike
take the reports Of the American situa-
tion and the impending decisions in con
gress with absolute calm.
The entire German people feel-as
expressed in the reichstag- that there
can be no backward step, but that Ger
many must go forward until there is a
decisive victory.
The public has great confidence in the
submarine warfare. The great conserva
tive leader, Herr Heydebrand, speaking

In order to make room in the Oregon
state tuberculosis sanitorium for those
patients that general hospital viii
not receive, and also to relieve the
congestion in the hospital itself, DIR.
Grover c. Bellinger, superintendent of
the hospital, tbs morning Transmitted
to the board of control communea-
tion recommending several changes in
the kinds of people who may be admit
ted to the institution.
In the first place he would not adj
NIT cases suffering from tuberculosis
of the skin, bones, or glands, or such
types as are properly cared for in a
general hospital.
In the second place he would restrict
the efforts Of the institution to cases
of throat, lungs, or intestines, or such
forms as show germs in excretions.
| Further, he says that as old people
are generally unsuited to the regime of
open air sanatoriums that only such
cases over fifty years of age as show
germs in the sputum should be admit
| ted, and that these cases should be dis
charged as soon as the germs disappear
from the sputum.
! In the communication DR.. Bellinger
says the points given are approved by
! Drs. Calvin S. White, +. A. Pierce and
IW. b. Morse, of Salem. If the recon-
mendations are followed it will eimin-
ate about ten per cent of the applicants
to the hospital, which types are not
barred from general hospitals.

Literacy Test Again
Causes President to
Veto immigration Bill

Washington, Jan. 80. President
Wilson yesterday vetoed the immigra-
ton bill passed recently by Congress
because of it's literacy test provision.
Owing to the congested condition
of the legislative calendar in Congress.
it is regarded as unlikely that both
houses will be able to take the time
necessary to pass the bill over the
executive veto. Supporters of the
measure. however, claim clear two
thirds majority in both houses.
The bill which the president vetoed
passed the house last March by a vote
of 3OS to 81, and the Senate in De-
cember, by "a to z.
1t was the second time that Presi
dent Wilson has vetoed an immigra-
ton bill because of the literacy test.
and for the same reason similar meas
ures were vetoed by President Taft
and Cleveland.
When President Wilson's message
was read in the house it was ordered
to lie on the table until Thursday
morning, and champions of the bill
began laying their plans for an effort
to override the veto.

German Food Supply For
Spring Very Scanty Is
Indicated by Batocki

Amsterdam, via London, Jan. 80. =
According to the Berlin Vorwaerts,
Adolph Batocki, president of the food
regulation board, clearly indicated in
a recent speech that the German food
supply for the spring was very scanty
and would require the most careful
distribution and economical use. Cal
culating potatoes in the value of
wheat, he said that for the current
year there were 1000, 600 tons less of
both available for animal and human
consumption than there was last year
and that, owing to the prohibition of
wheat for animal feeding this would
greatly diminish the yield of animal
products. Even turnips cannot now
be used for animal fodder
Herr Batocki pointed out that i'm
ports from neutrals were a slender
factor in the situation and that the
assets gained in Rumania, while valu
able, could improve conditions only
gradually owing to transport difficult
ties. He defended the system of dis
tribution of foodstuffs with the re-
mark: The scarcer the total quantity
of supplies the more necessary is a
system of management"
