Washmaton, Feb 9.-After many weeks consideration the senate inter- state commerce committee reported to the senate d bill to supplement the Adamsou railroad law, providing in vestigatiun of controversies on com- mon carriers and giving the pres ident authority to take over railroad, telegraph and telephone lines in times of military necessity. There is no prohibition in the measure against the right to strike or lockout, to which the railroad brotherhoods have yigor- ously objected, but there is a proFa- sion to prevent obstruction of the mails or of interstate commerce.
 Chairman Newlands expects to call up as soon as possible. It is much like that introduced in the house earlier in the week and may be passed al the present session. It is expected to mee5 the view of the administration since it has become apparent that a more stringent bin virtually would have no chance of getting through be- fore adjournment.
 Under the terms of the bill when conciliation board fails to settle a railroad labor controversy. the presi- Gent shall enlarge the board by the ad- dtou of one representative of the ca1- riers and one of the men. The en- larged boards report shall be made within three months and contain rec concentrations according to the merits and substantial justice of the case.' which shall be published.

PERISCOPE OFFERS AN
 OPEN TARGET FOR FIRE
Torpedoes Are So Expensive That Submarine Must Have Ship Broad scide Before MissIe Is Discharged or Else Many Would Be Wasted Other Methods Being Tried.

New York, Feb. G. Although figures to show the number of sub marines destroyed by the entente al lies and the means used in their de struction are unavailable, owing to the rigid censorship on war activities, it was learned here tonight from an au- thoritative source that direct gun fire from the decks of warships and aux, Hilary vessels had been the most ef. tectiye method employed thus far.
 To combat the submarine menace the British government and her al. lies have adopted various plans to catch the undersea boats, although some oi them have been abandoned as ineffective. A marine authority or unquestioned standing who is close to British shipping interests said to- day when asked as to the effective Hess of arming ships:
 We have found that light guns dis charging proiectiles of 1 to 6 pounds iA hands of trained guners are by far the most effective weapon. know personally that as many as two and three submarines have been bag ed in one day in this way.
 "A submarine commander looking through a periscope has a range of vision of about three miles, but he must get his target broadside on to have a reasonable chance of making a torpedo hit what it is aimed for and as torpedoes are a very expensive missile he cannot afford to take many chances on miss.
 "A periscope above the water al distance of 200 or 300 yards makes fair mark for gunner working from the deck of ship 30 to 70 feet above the surface of the sea One shot hitting the mark is all that is needed as the submarines are of light con struction, easily penetrated and q hole anywhere in their shell spells their doom.
 Tt is seldom that torpedo is fired |" hen threatened ship can SO man. euver as 10 show her stern for a mark and Tn most of the cases of this na. ture so far reported the submersibles have come to the surface and resorted 10 gun fire from a deck gun.

what was construed as a an implica' ton contained iQ Germanys request of Ambassador Gerard that old treaties btween Prussia ana the United Stales be reaffirmed that such action Was necessary to make certain that the rights of Germans in this country guaranteed under those reaies be made secure. It was reiterated that the American government fully in- tends acting according to the spirit oi the treaties.
 While the treaty actually was abro- gated by passage of the seamen's law with conflicting section, the gov ernment here looks upon the past as at least furnishing the guiding priu- ciple under which it will act
 The administration is understood to be highly eratified by the action of many neutrals in protesting with wary ing degrees of firmness against Ger many's new submarine policy While none has SO far followed the lead and suggestion of the United States by breaking off diplomatic relations. nevertheless the expression of senti- ment was said to be the chief object desired by President Wilson in sug- gestion action 10 them.
 There were no sensations to dis turb the capitol today. Preparations went on with quiet thoroughness for all eventualities. Within short time perhaps a few days officials fear that Germany will take the step which will make these preparations essential In a sense, officials feel that every sub- marine commander virtually has been entrusted with a declaration of war against this country.
 The open issue as to Germany's treatment of Ambassador Gerard. which has caused much ill feeling here, appears about 10 be cleared up. While officials have had no wora from MT. Gerard since February .. they ac- cepted press dispatches today as to arrangements for his leaving tcmor- row and said that confirmation was expected through the slower official channels
 Final anansemeuts for the depar- ture of German officials on the Scan. dlnavian liner Frederick VIII next Tuesday from New York via Halifax for Christiania were completed today The United States, at the suggestion of both the owners of the vessel and Count yon Bernstorff, asked specifi- cally that the trip be made via Halifax in order to avoid the German war zont on the route via Falmouth or kirkwalI, and the British and French governments in granting safe con duets to the two hundred former Ger man officials acceded to that request out of courtesy 10 this country.
 As one explanation for the earnes, desire to avoid the apparently ine,f table break with Austria-Hungarv. it was pointed out today that if that were done all communication between this country and Bulgaria and Turkey would be cut off. There has been no development in the situation with Austria since Ambassador Penfield last Saturday forwarded from Vienna an Austrian note similar but not iden- tical with Germanys
 For time at least, it is pointed out neutral vessels will venture into the barred zone with extreme caution. but hish rates the British government is willing to pay it is declared. will send them in later So far nothing has come through to indicate how many vessels are getting through the block. ade. but it is believed here the mum.

The collections taken up during

expenses. and the collection for Mr..
Brown netted something like $1,000.
which goes to him and his several
helpers in the work.
That the meetings have been worth
their cost Is not disputed Every

hold them. 1t Is estimated that
during the series of meetings the to-
tal attendance must have reached at
