so rapidly that It is becoming very
difficult matter to accommodate with
out delay all steamers calling here,
according to a letter from Capt. VIII
liam r. Foster, liarbcrmaster. to the
harhor board. read this afternoon.
Captnin Fosto- says that he feels 1T
is of vital Importance to shipping
calling here to get the use OF the
berth on the eva side Of Pier z, and
urges the board to have the Pommern
and Setos moved from there a. soon
as possible. ~ +.
Chairman Forbes said he and Cap,
tain Foster conferred on Tuesday
with Captain Clark. commandment of
Pearl Harder, about having the two
German freighters moved to Pearl
harbor. but that the commandment had
his orders and could not promise to
do anything ; at present. Il think,
however. that in very short while
the vessels viii be taken care of,
commented Chairman Forbes. The
harbormaster urges the board to have
Piers s, 9sand 10 finished as soon as
possible 'as at the rate our shipping
is increasing we. are in absolute need

WASHINGTON, D. c.. April 20
The attempt to Inuzzle the press so
as to prevent criticism of the govern.
ment failed yesterday when the Es.
pionage Bill with this feature elimtn.
ated was favorably reported to the
house. T.. ..+~
An amendment providing for CEN
sorship Of newspapers was tackled on
to the Espionage Bill soon after its
introduction, and around this amend.
ment a violent oonti oversy has ragged.
The press OF the country was virtual
ly unit in denouncing the attemnt
of certain members of Congress to
muzzle it, and the amendment was de-
clared on the floor of the house un-
constitutional as being an infringe
nent of. the freedom of the press
which is guaranteed by the Consti-
tuition. =:.-
The committee having the bid in
charge finally so amended it as to
knock out the Objectionable feature,
and so reported the bill back to the
house. -

GERMAN VESSELS
BEING SURVEYED

Acting under orders from Washing
ton via Pearl Harbor naval station. a
force Of L. s. navy divers this morn,
ing began q thorough survey of the
hulIs OF all German refugee mer-
chant steamers In port, also a sys-
tematic search Of the bottom of the
slips where the merchantmen are
berthed.
Shortly before noon today navy
divers were still at work in the slip
alongside the Pommern and Setos at
Pier T. 1t was said along the water
trent that most Of their time today Is
being devoted to picking up valuable
brass and copper valves, fittings and
various machinery thrown overheard
from the informed German 7unboat
Geier the first week in February, be-
fore the excitement of February T.,
when the crew, by burning cut her
boilers, set fire to the vessel The
crew was at once informed at Scho-
field.
AS soon as the divers finish work
under the Pommern and Setos they
will proceed to the vessels tied up in
the eva basin. The entire work will
probably take about week.
1t is believed in this port that the
survey may be step preparatory to
operation of the yesaets by the United
States, this course having been de-
termined upon by the government. as
told in Associated Press dispatches
printed in the Star-Bulletin several
weeks ago..
