If the Navy Department has been
given any orders to protect American
shipping, there is no evidence OF the
fact. 1t was authoritatively denied
that the department has any plan to
convoy American ships through the
danger zone.
Increasing Import.
The status OF the German merchant
men interned in various American
ports is becoming a matter of in
creasing import, in view Of the posi-
bility that, in the event of war, the
United States might want to seize
them for the purpose of transporting
troops to Europe.
Their actual status is not one Of
internment, but ships of q belligerent
power that have taken refuge In
American ports. Legally they could
leave IL they wanted to, but at their
own risk.
A mild sensation spread through
the Capital with the receipt of press
rumors that the crew of a German
merchant vessel in the port of
Charleston, S. c., had sunk the yes
sci this morning.
Conference Last Night.
Whatever action has been decided
upon by the President was made
known at a conference between him
and the Secretary OF State at the
White House last night, lasting an
hour and a half.
Upon his arrival at the State De
partment today, Mr.. Lansing with
the aid OF Special Law Officer Lester
H. Woolsey, who always assists In
the preparation of diplomatic COM
munications, went at once to work
on the draft of a communication.
Secretary Lansing was with the
President just an hour. Present at
the conference also was Col E. NJ.
House. the Presidents confidential
adviser, who hurried to Washington
from New York on the midnight train
last night, as soon as he was ad-
vised OF the German note.
During the time the conference was
in session, a crowd of newspaper cor
the main doorway OF the Executive
Mansion.
Across the front lawn came the con-
slant clatter of hammers as carpen-
tiers worked on the inaugural pa
rade reviewing stand IN front OF the
White House
Secretary Lansing refused absolute
ly to say a word as he left. He still
carried the portfolio as he climbed
hurriedly into his carriage. Pressed
with questions, he exclaimed:
please don't ask me-"
Carriare Dashes on,
With that he called out to his
coachman, and as he slammed shut
the door the carriage dashed away.
Mr.. Lansing did not, however, re-
turn to the State Department, but
went directly home to lunch, indicat-
ing perhaps that he had left with the
President the text OF the communica-
ton he had prepared.
Rumors were afioat that it had been
decided to make no announcement OF
the course OF action decided upon I'M
til the Navy Department had perfect
ed certain steps to protect American
shipping.

"PEPCO" HEARING
FEATURED BY TILT
Commissioner Newman and At
torney Barbour Engage in
Wordy Alteration.
CoNCEIvERS' ITEM CAUSE
Lawyer Claims District Official
Was Guilty of Persistent
Interruptions.

Discussion of the item "compensa-
ton to conceivers, $3.50, OOO," included
in the valuation of Harold Almert, ex.
pert for the company, led to a sharp
tilt today between Commissioner New
man and John S. Barbour, counsel for
at the hearing before the Public
Utilities Commission on the valuation
of the company's properties today.
Interrupting A.r. Barbour in his ar
gument that this item was a proper
item to be included in the cost of re-
production as well as the historical
cost, Mr.. Newman said:
at is with difficulty that l can re-
member that 1 a ma gentleman and
continue to listen to this line of argu-
ment" The Commissioner had by
several previous questions indicated
that he strongly disagreed with Mr..
Barbour's views.
Claims Interruptions.
Il amp frank in saying" replied the
attorney. "that I am under equal re-
straint. 1 have been constantly in
terrupted by the Commissioner with
questions not altogether pertinent. II
/ am infringing on the patience Of
the commission. / am willing to end
my argument at this point"
The BEST way to arrive at a quick
conclusion for me to make no further
Interruptions" said Commissioner
Newman.
Items For Entertainment.
~
subjected to q lengthy cross-exam-
ination by Conrad H. syme, general
counsel for the commission, concern
ing them item of compensation for
conceiEers. The item stated that part
of such sum was expected to be spent
in the entertainment" of persons
whose influence was desired in the
securing OF franchises. Such expen-
diture, he declared to be well recog-
nized and legitimate.
Expense Necessary.
Turning to the item Of s7Oo, 900 for
brokerage and commission, which
was allowed by Mr.. Almert, but not
included in the Pillsbury report. Mr.
Barbour declared this to be one of the
necessary expenses of financing the
company. 1t is just as necessary he
declared, to pay the owners or dealers
in capital something over and above
the actual cost of that capital, IL used
in the construction and equipment OF
plant such as that OF the Potomac
Electric Power Company as IL ia TO
pay the owner of or dealer in brick
and motar.
Reference was made to Mr.. pills
bury5s testimony that his specific in
structions were that he should have
nothing to do with anything but
physical property.
Harbour Cites Decisions.
Referring to the item of $4,000. OOD
for property rights in easements. in
cluded in the Almert report, Mr.. Bar
bour quoted number OF decisions to
show that consideration should be
given the values of franchises and
easements.
Failure to include property rights
in easements. ne said. amount to con-
fiscation in that a fair rate of re-
turn to that extent is denied. A utility.
he declared has the right to a rea-
sonable rate of return upon the fair
value of its property and the Con-
stitution of the United States protects
such a utility from any impairment
of its rights.

NATURALIZATION OF
ALIENS Is SET BACK
Washington Night Schools Face
Difficulty of Reaching Diff
ferent Colonies.

In Washington, Capital OF the
nation, the movement for American
ization of foreigners through night
school instruction, seems to have
attained less Roadway than IT
has In the great majority of the near
ly 1000 communities now co-opera-
ting with the Bureau of Naturallza-
tIon. Department OF Labor, in this
effort.
This is the indication of figures
given out today by Raymond F. Crfst,
deputy commissioner OF naturaliza-
ton, who has been In direct charge
Of this movement.
Mr.. Crist has no complaint to make
OF the work the night schools are
doing here, but he does not believe
there are nearly enough Of them to
meet the city's needs.
Did you think there are not many
foreign born residents in Washing
ton? BY the census OF 1910 there were
24,342 white foreign born persons
here, and II is estimated this number
now exceeds $4,000.
Has No Colonies.
1.-THE difficulty with Washington,
and the reason, perhaps. that this
condition is not realized Is that there
are no colonies OF foreigners OF GER
tain nationalities," Mr.. Crist said.
They are scattered all over the Dis
trict. That is what makes It hard TO
reach them with night schools, and
that 10 why the schools should be
those in each section"
This distribution, as shown by the
most recent figures available, in
cIuded 1,1T5 in Anacostia: 2,O2s in the
rest OF the southeast; 3,12i In the
northeast 900 in the northeast subur-
ban area: 1925 in the northwest sec
ton north of Florida avenue; 10,5ll
in the northwest south OF Florida
avenue: 2,221 in southwest Washing
ton: S13 in Georgetown, and 342 TO
the northwest OF Georgetown.
Apply For CItisenshIp.
In the past year about 500 persons,
including wives of the men, applied
for citizenship papers here. Names
OF each, in accordance with the plan
now being carried out all over the
country, were sent to the superin-
tendent of schools.
During August and September, for
example, fifty-three names were sent,
and of these but ten lived within
twelve blocks OF the Jefferson night
school, at Four-and-a-half and D street
southwest
Only fourteen lived within a similar
radius of the Thompson School, at
Thirteenth and L streets. This left
forty>nine living at a distance greater
from night school than they could
conveniehtly go. For most of them
work long hours and can barely spend
the time needed for attending school,
much less added time spent in going
and returning.
Recently the situation has been
slightly improved by the opening of
the Madison Night School, at Tenth
and G. streets northeast.
Nineteen. nationalities were repre-
scented in considerable numbers among
the foreign born residents of Wash
ington in 1910, and 402 were classed
as coming from "other countries"
Since then many more nationaIities
have become represented here, Mr..
Crist said. Those who were here
have increased their number consid-
erably. Then there were but 342
Greeks in Washington, now IL Is es-
timated that there are nearly 1000
here.

BIG OUTPUT OF WOODEN SHIPS.
Revival Of the Industry at Yards on
Coast of Maine.

PORTLAND. Me-. May 2S.-A revival
of wooden shipbuilding in Maine has
been brought about by the war. Many
of the old shipyards along the coast
from Kittery to Eastport have re-
sumed semblance of old-time activity
and some of the larger yards are utiliz-
ing every available foot of space to
increase their output.
However, the plan of Maj. Gen
George w. Goethals to build steel YES
sells in which to carry food to the
allies is strongly approved by many
of the .old-time builders, who had
been dubious of the original proposal
for wooden bottoms. They had ex-
pressed the belief that the off-shore
traffic should be handled by a vast
feet of standardized iron steamers
which, they claimed. could be con-
structed more cheaply and more quick
ly than wooden craft.
A state committee will cooperate
with the federal board and will have
charge of the work in Maine. The
committee has been. promised the
heartiest cooperation by the present
and former builders.
