nal correspondent that the electrical
engineers of the navy were delighted
with the possible elimination of the
dangerous gases. as claimed by Everett
for his discovery.
"As is the case in all such matters,
the navy is treating Mr.. Everetts dis
covery as confidential, and will continue
to do So" said the admiral. Il have
written to the inventor asking for COM
pIete details as TO his invention, and
when he submits them they will be
given the most careful investigation.
"Mr Everett cannot be too highly
commended for the splendid patriotism
that has prompted him to bring the
matter first to the attention or the
United States navy. with a proposal to
donate his investigation"
Admiral Griffin added that the forma-
ton of chlorine gas is not regarded as
dangerous as hydrogen gas, because the
presence Of the former is always known
from its odor. while there is no way
of knowing of the formation or pres
ence of the latter until it causes an
explosion.

CARRANzA'S PEACE PLAN
NOT APPROVED BY j. S.
Wilson Rejects Proposal to.
Cut Off Exports of Sup
plies to BeIligerentS

WASHINGTON, March 20.-The note
to General Carranza, declining his pro-
posal for neutral action to bring peace
to Europe by cutting off exports of sup
plies to belligerents was made public
today at the state department.
The refusal was based. first on the
apparent hopelessness of peace at pres
ent as shown in the futility of President
Wilson's efforts and Germany's attempts
to embroil Mexico and Japan in war with
this country. and in the belief that any
restriction of commerce with the bellig-
erents would in effect be an unneutral
discrimination.
Nevertheless, the note concludes, the
president would. not be understood as
desiring to impede the progress of a
movement leading to the resumption of
peaceful relations between all the bel
ligerents and would not, therefore, wish
the Mexican government to feel that
his inability to act in the present state
of affairs should in any way initiate
against the attainment of the high ideals
of General Carranza by the cooperation
of other neutral governments in the use
of their good offices and friendly media
ton to bring about the end of the terri
BILE war"
The note mentions the careful and
sympathetic consideration" which the
United States have given to the propos-
al, refers to the new vigor of the war
fare. and goes on to say:
ITO render the situation still more
acute. the government of the United
States has unearthed a plot made by
the government dominating the central
powers, to embroil not only the govern
ment and people of Mexico. but also the
government and people of Japan in war
with the United States. At the time this
plot was conceived the United States
was at peace with the government and
people of the German empire, and Ger
man officials and German subjects were
not only enjoying, but abusing the liber-
ties and privileges freely accorded to
them on American soil and under Amer
lean protection"
The note then takes up the proposal to
cut off commercial relations with the
belligerent nations and refers to the
American note to AustriaLHungary to
show the policy of this government In
declining to stop munition shipments.
believing that this position of the
United States is based upon sound pr1n-
ciples Of international law" the conclu-
sion says, "and is consonant with the es-
tablished practice of nations, the pfesi-
dent cannot bring himself to
consider such a modification of these
principles or of this practice as COM
pliance with General CarranZa's proposal
to suspend commercial relations with
the warning nations would entail"

ernor's bill).
Senator Mclaughlin said that the
prohibition commission would in the
end, receive a big salary and the result
would be a political sinecure.
During the session Senator Trammell
offered a written amendment which
would include Coca-Cola among the pro-
hibited beverages barred by the bone
dry bill A point of order was raised
regarding the instroduction of such an
amendment and the speaker held that
such an amendment was not germane
to the subject matter of the bill.
"a USELESS EXPENSE"
Senator Burnside. speaking against
the Boykin amendment, declared pro-
hibition commissioner is useless and
creates unnecessary expense.

ton Of being antagonistic to prohibition,

drastic as this is bound to bring about
a reaction 1t will undo much of the
good that already has been done. The
people are sure to resent IT. We are
prone to forget that "a mans castle IS
his home"
Senator Adams. speaking for the
amendment, paid a glowing tribute to
Governor Harris and made an impas-
stoned plea that the request of the gov
ernor for the commissioner clause should
not be denied The governor had called
the session at the request of the people.
he said, and the people held for him a
great love in their hearts
Senator Peacock interrupted to ask
the speaker if he didn't think the people
should have shown this love at the polls
last year.
Senator Adams continued by declaring
that back in 1915 the governor had call
ed an extra session to write the prohibit
ton laws at the request of the prohibit
tionists who had promised him to stand
by him at the election, and that these
people had turned him down." He de-
clared ii was SHANE and disgrace"
Certain people just recently, he said,
went to Washington TO use their in
fluence to keep in office a distinguish
ed old Confederate veteran who was a
judge, and these were the very people
who had defeated Governor Harris, an
other distinguished old Confederate vet
eran.
During the debate on the Boykin
amendment, Senator Turner introduced
a substitute amendment which would
create the office of prohibition commits
sioner. as provided in the original bill
but would make his duties simply to
assist the county officers and not in
stigate prosecutions himself The Tur-
