Patton asserted that to his best
knowledge he had 1880 signatures. He
claims this number TO be sufficient on

WIRELESS AMATEURS sILENCED.
Suspension of All Permits Ordered By
 Secretary Redfeld.

Washington. Mapch 29.-Suspen- sion of all permits for the operation of amateur wireless outfits, with or without sending equipment, has been ordered by Secretary of Commerce Redfield as a precautionary measure in view of the present crisis.
 In addition secret service agents, neutrality agents and agents of the department of commerce are keeping the strictest kind of watch upon out fits already licensed and in searching for unlicensed apparatus.
 While the few known wireless out fits with sending equipment are care fully censored there has been constant danger that without the knowledge of the officers government information might be picked up by wireless oper- ators and utilized in unfriendly quar- ters. The possibility of chain of small wireless installations with small radius sending equipment by which group of hostile aliens in various parts of the country could be kept in touch with each other and act in concert also has been considered. In the event of declaration of war it is probable that all wireless outfits not censored by the government will De shut down and prohibited.

THROW HIM QUIT
 IS CRY AT ALBANY
Socialist Brings Down Assembly's
 wrath on Own Head

Albany, March 29.-Abraham I. Shiplacoff, socialist assemblyman, was the center of disorder in the assembly yesterday. His patriotism was att tackled amid misses and shouts of Throw him out!''
 The row started when Minority Leader Callahan called up his resolu- tion to urge congress to enact a uni- versal training measure to meet "existing emergencies"
 "I don't believe there is national emergency today" Shiplacoff said.
 That declaration aroused Assembly, man Martin McCue, who retorted: N We should have some sort of law that would make men of the type Shiplacon represents do their bit to protect the flag
 He was interrupted by cheers and shouts.
 If I believed in the teachings in which Skiplacoff believes" he con- tinued, 'I would resign as an As semblyman and turn in my citizenship papers as not fit to live in this country"
 My patriotism only differs slightly rom the patflOtlSH Ol NIT. MCCue, replied the socialist member.
 What is your patriotism ?" de- manded Colonel F. A. Wells, of Brooklyn, springing to his feet. You've got the yellow dog kind of patriotism. Whats the matter with putting this fellow out ?"
 The noise that followed drowned out the pounding of the gavel. Amid misses Shiplacoff again arose. "I deny that I ever uttered any statement derogatory to the principles represented by the American flag" he declared. This derision is nothing 60 me, because 1t comes from men of empty brains"
 After order was finally restored the Callahan resolution was adopted, with only the two socialists, Shiplacoff and Joseph A. Whitehorn, voting in the negative.
