JOLT FOR "BAR LANE"
Mutual Inquiries Established That Ev.
erybody Saw What Everybody
Else Saw-Anyhow Ii Was a
Good Temperance Lesson.

Chlcago.-West Madison street Is
trying to solve the strange mystery Of
the wicker suitcase and the eight-foot
snake. In some ways the tale has
more wriggles than the story of the
mahogany table and the clucking hen.
A young man YEARLY moving west
ward with what appeared to be a
heavy and aged suitcase stopped In
front of 1341 West Madison street and
laid his burden down. He looked all
about him and then cautiously stopped
and unfastened the catch of the suit
case and threw 1t open.
We Mystery Appears.
The corner policeman heard a
scream of fright and saw the young
man Logging 1t westward. Habitues
of "bar lane" beat the policeman to
the suitcase for one look at the thing
that turned the self-contained young
man into a frenzled caitiff. Then West
Madison street fell back In disorder.
The head of snake appeared and
then eight feet of snake wriggled out
on to the sidewalk.
After many mutual inquiries by
which ii was established that every
body saw what everybody else saw 1t
was decided to call the police wagon
and one was rushed to the scene forth
with.
The snake crawled back into the
suitcase soon after the police arrived

and after the receptacle had been fas-
tened with 60 feet Of clothesline 1t
was taken to the station.
Detectives Barry and Mulvihill, who
gingerly carried the snake into the sta
ton, said they could not tell what
kind of snake 1t was but had heard
experts" In the crowd class it as a

German Wireless,
Found in Mexico,
Is Menace to u. S.
Threatens Neutrality and
May Be Used Against This
Country in Case of War

Washington. March s. information
has reached the government from a
semi official source that through the
perfection of a powerful wireless tele-
graph plant in Mexico City direct COM
muncation between the Mexican capi.
tai and Germany has been established.
Officials realize that if confirmed
this news is Of great importance. and
an investigation has been ordered.
Through connection BY Mexico City
with the land telegraphs leading into
the United States, Germany would be
able TO secure complete exemption from
the American censorship now imposed
upon its communications at the wire
less stations at Sayville and Tuckerton,
and by the British and French govern
ments IN their control Of the Atlantic
cables.
Farreaching possibilities thus would
be opened for violation of American
neutrality, or even menacing the ma
tional safety in the critical situation
existing. Sea raiders and submarines
might be directed. and full information
concerning the departure Of ships from
American ports furnished. German
agents in this country might keep in
close touch with Berlin. and in case OF
war even more serious results might
follow.

Senate Asked to Say
President Has the Right
To Protect Commerce

Washington. March s. Senator
Lewis Democratic whip. introduced a
resolution to-day declaring 1t 70 be the
sense of the Senate that the President.
by virtue of the power Of his Office. -
has the right to protect commerce 10
foreign nations, equally with commerce
between the states.
The resolution $ not considered 10
have effect except as an expression Of
the sentiment n the Senate, if II Is
adopted. The text follows:
BE it resolved. by the United States
Senate. that It is the sense Of the SEN
ate that the President OF the United
States has, by virtue of the power Of
his office. under the constitution and
laws Of the United States, the right TO
protect commerce destined from the
United States 10 foreign nations 20 the
same extent that he has TO protect in
terstate commerce between the states
and in the navigabe waters Of the
United States.
"Be it resolved. that it is the sense
of the Senate that this power is not de-
rived nor necessarily related 20 any OF
the provisions Of the constitution or
laws that have to do with declaring
war. but is derived from tho power
vested in the President as head civil
officer of the United States government
to execute those provisions of the con
stitution and laws as relate 10 the fos-
tering OF commerce between the United
States and foreign nations.
BE it resolved, that TO secure proper
protection Of commerce between ma.
tions the President Of the United States
has the power 10 protect commerce
destined TO for->,n countries by all the
means he has the right 10 employ for
the protection OF commerce between

Capital Cuesses
at Date of Extra
Congress Session
Many Expect Immediate Cal
and Early Consideration OF
Armed Ship Bill
From The Tribune Bureau

Washington. March s.-"The only
remedy" said Mr.. Wilson in his Sun
day night March a statement to the
people, "is that the rules Of the Senate
shall be so altered that it can act.
Until that was done. he said, it would
be of no use to call an extra session of
Congress.
The rules of the Senate were to-day
altered as he wished them to be.
In the same statement the President
doubted his own authority TO arm
ships. That doubt has been removed
by the opinions of the Attorney Cen
eral and the Secretary of State.
Mr.. Wilson. therefore. is free both TO
call an extra session of Congress and
10 arm ships without Congress. When
he will act no one knows.
Upon the passage of a modified clos
ure rule in the Senate late to-day, many
officials expected that there would be
an immediate call for one and that the
armed ship bill would be the first legis-
lation considered Some of these men
said that the President might summon
the new House Of Representatives SO
that it could begin work this month.
Others thought that an extra session
was extremely unlikely before June l.
The appropriation bills can be held TIL
then without inconvenience. These men
are not impressed with the inference
drawn from the Presidents statement
Of Sunday, in which he said that 1t
would be useless 20 call a special ses-
sion as long as the Senate retained the
freedom OF unlimited debate. Others
believe that the President meant 70
convey the impression that he would
call an extra session If the Senate
adopted closure rule.
Everybody speaks indefinitely The
situation now does not differ greatly
from the situation of February 70,
when the President appeared before
Congress and asked for power when
ne said he believed he already had.
The same pressure from the country
which the Senate has felt since II
talked TO death the armed neutrality
bill is being felt by the Admlnistra-
ton. There is no attempt IN any
quarter 20 dispute the demand from
the country that American ships oe
protected
In the Senate to-day many observers
were impressed at the very apparent
effect pressure from without was hav-
ing upon Senators. Several OF the
little group Of wilful men seized the
occasion 20 protest their patriotism.

10000 Women
In Britain Enlist
To Work at Front
Rush to Volunteer for Auxiliary
Army-Will Wear Trou-
sers and Boots
-nr c.e.e 20 The rnbunel

London, March S.-More than 10000
English women have volunteered 70
form an auxiliary army corps for ser
vice in France. it was made known to-
day. Within forty-eight hours after
the scheme was first announced. on
February 28, thousands of applications
had been received, though they had
not YET been requested. and sacks Of
letters are still pouring into the head
quarters Of the movement, At s..
Ermins Hotel.
The women are TO be sent in groups
of 200 across the Channel. and 1t is
expected that before many days at
least 5000 will be working near the
firing lines. Before any OF them are
sent. three weeks training is required
in England.
The immense success of the move
ment so far proves that if British
women had been organized at the out
break OF the war as the best feminine
intellects of the country demanded, the
present economic situation Of the coun-
try might be substantially different.
The two chief heads Of the corps,
Mrs. Tennant and Miss Violet Mark
ham. are both famed for their intel
lectuai powers as well as their social
organizing work among women. An
ether. Lady Mackworth, daughter OF
Lord Rhondda. is now acting as presi-
dent Of the majority Of his enormous
interests.
The first aim is 90 secure women
with skilled hands. They are wanted
not merely in France. but in Britain
also. The chief demand is for women
mechanics. automobile drivers, cooks,
stenographers, Mattresses. packers and
telephone operators. mixers. shcp
herdesscs. hay makers. horse keepers.
COW keepers. market gardeners and
harvcstcrs.
The pay varies according TO the du-
tics, the minimum being 81 weekly,
with II cents an hour for overtime,
which is rather below the current rates.
Twenty dollars &c given each woman to
provide uniform, consisting of q
khaki tunic and trousers. high boots
and sombrcro hats grant Of S25 is
made al the end Of the second year.
n tho pay is low. u is scarcely likely
70 deter enrolment, for practically every
applicant expresses keen desire TO be
allowed 10 assist the army in France.
Many state they arc proud 10 be asked
10 helm their men folk near the field OF
battle Although they are not likely 10
get nearer than forty miles from the
firing line, the sentimental considcra-
ton is creating wonderful enthusiasm
among the volunteers.

Low-Lying Craft Urged

Wooden, motor-driven, little mer-
cbantmen. low in the water, quick on
their heels and without smoke or tall
masts to betray them at distance are
the craft recommended by Mr.. Clark.
They would average 1S5 feet long "a
feet beam. 18-foot draught, with
cargo capacity Of 900 tons and speed
of ia knots. Mr. Clark estimated that
the capacity Of the yards the iirst year
would be 1000 900 IONS. and Mr.. WOOD
suggested last night that with the adop-
lion Of Ford methods Of standardiza-
fion the capacity of the yards would DC
virtually unlimited:
No expensive plants would DC re
ouired: a planning mill couple OF saws
and such accessible timber supply as
evists IN the Beaumont district oi
TEXAS and on the Pacific Coast are thc
only requisites. Steel demand. conges-
lion of rolling mills and shipyards
would not affect the new industry.
Three vessels year could be ouiIt on
the same ways. it is said. .oo.o
The ships would cost about Sloo'ooV
spiece. The operating cost would DC
about $4,000 month. The gross re-
turns Al the present rate would be from
