A TIEUp
Railroads Acted to Stop Con-
gestiOn at SeapOrts.
Hundred Thousand Tons Held
in New York HarbOr.

New York, Feb. 13.-More than
one hundred thousand tons of neutral
shipping is tied up in this harbor as
result of the German U-boat war
fare. Of this amount $4,000 tons be-
long to the American line alone.
The tieup of neutral shipping has
to a certain extent aggravated the
freight congestion. which has been a
problem in this port ever since the
war broke out.
In this case. however, the railroad
companies took quick action to fore
stall the effect of the tieup. AS far
as can be learned, their efforts have
been successful in preventing the
choking of freight terminals
In the meantime storage companies
are reaping a harvest by storing up
the freight in their warehouses that
had been sent here for ships which
should have sailed some time this
week for neutral ports.
The railroad companies have is
sued orders to their freight agents
turnout the country to take no ex-
port goods for ships that are unable
to sail, or for which no ships have
been contracted for in advance

Introduce Bill RetaliatOry to
Submarine Warfare.
Gan Act to Discourage Viola
tion of international Law"
TO AID CONVEYING VESSELS
Permit Allies to Hunt Raiders
int. $. Waters.
Is Move Short of War to Com
hat Ruthless U-BOats.

washington, Feb. ia bill di-
rected against ruthless submarine
warfare and proposing to open the
norris harbors and waters of the Uni
fed States in time of war to warships
or vessels of belligerents against whom
such warfare is waged, was intro
duced today by Senator salisbury of
Delaware, president pro tempore OF
the senate and a member of the for
eign relations committee. At his re-
ouest it was referred to the commit
tee. The bill is entitled An act to
discourage the violation of interna-
tional law upon the high seas
This measure" said Senator Sauls-
hurry "may enable the government
without a declaration of war, to assist
in preventing violation OF 1nterna-
tionaI rights at sea by giving assist
ance to those engaged In apatlhg IN
recognized and unwarranted systems
of warfare. 1t is a step that may be
effective in the present international
crisis without a declaration of war on
our part"
As Long as U-Boat Raids Last.
Other senators pointed out that the
bill would permit the United states TO
give aid to the entente allies as long
as the German submarine campaign
is maintained, without any further &C
ton by congress giving the president
authority to use armed forces of the
nation to protect American seamen
and property on the seas.
There was no discussion of the bill
in the senate altho many senator's af-
ter it's introduction pointed out that
"in the present situation the measure
would open the ports of the United
States to British, French or other al
lied warships conveying merchant
vessels and also would enable bellig-
erents to patrol the waters of the
United States freely in a campaign
against German raiders"
Senator Salisbury would not say
whether the bill had been discussed
with the administration but it was
understood that it might prove ac-
ceptable as a measure short of war
designed to curb ruthless submarine
| warfare

Stringent Anti-Cigaret Measure
Is Passed Today.
Senate's Approval All That's
Necessary to Make 1t a Law.
FINE ALL WHO SMOKE 'EM
1t Even Prohibits Smoking Be-
fore Ones Own FireSide.
Won't Go Into Effect Until
Publication in Statute Book.

House members today put ban on
cigaret smoking when they passed
the Collins bill providing a s25 fine
for use of the pill. If the measure
finds it's way thru the senate, cigar
ct fiends will have as much trouble
in KANSAS as the man with a thirs-
" he seeks to survive under the bone
dry act.
Collins came from the town OF
Penokee, Graham county. Penokee is
located in the Graham county sand
hills and before coming to the legisla-
ture, Collins polled the Penokee social
set and learned that some simon pure
reform was needed in Kansas. So the
gentleman from Graham has been
quite active with his task of making
the state better.
| After coming to the legislature, Col
| Inns landed at the top of the temper
ance committee. This committee drew
the bone dry bill and damned it thru
made it misdemeanor to own, sell OF
keep for sale any cigarets, paper OF
tobacco used in cigaret making.
| Makes Measure Strict.
| But Collins was not satisfied. He
recalled the good old days of corn
silk, catalpa leaves and grape vine
cigarets and CIGARS. So he drafted
bill to reach from the after dinner
parties right on down to the young
sters who gather behind the barn
Sunday afternoons. Then in the names
of the mothers and sisters and sweet
hearts and all the things that are nice
and good and pure, Collins rallied the
house members to his measure. Al
of which means Kansans must do theil
cigaret smoking before the statute
books are printed.
/ Originally Collins drafted his bill
to take effect Immediately. A stand
ing instruction in the house gave the
coffin nail lovers a little extra time
| When Speaker Keene suggested t
Holland of Russell-some time earlier
in the session-that all bills should b'
| carefully inspected to see that the,
were made effective on publication o.
the statute books. he didn't provide al
elastic saving clause. So Holland tool
the suggestion of the speaker in
! broad, literal sense and offered th'
customary amendment. Otherwise
the bill would have been effective OF
its publication in the official state pa
per. following approval of the mea
sure in the senate. Now, it seems, Col
Inns must be Mortified, shocked, hu
INFLATED and chagrined by cigare
| smokers for the two or. three months
required to publish the new session
laws.
No Exemptions.
Under the bill which passed thu
house, Collins provides that a person
who smokes a cigaret shall be subjec
| to fine of not less than IS nor mor'
! than S25. Nor does the bill exemp
class, district or place. The man wh'
smokes in his home or at an exclusive
dinner party is just as guilty as thu
town sport of Penokee who walks b.
the general store to the postoffice ant
defies the world to interfere with hi

washington Feb. 13.-Mexican
problems, tho comparatively small be-
side the German-American situation,
perplexed and worried officials here
today.
Press reports that Villistas are

plus General Carranza's anti-ally note,
gave affairs tinge that officials here
disliked.

General Carranza, either thru Ger
man influence or otherwise. has sug-
gested cutting off supplies for the al
lies-which would include the British
oil deposits of Tampico. Whether he
will take action to back up his sug-
gestions, no one here knows but the
possibility was sufficiently likely to
prove a disturbing element

SINK ALL NOW
Last Day of Grace for Neutrals
Has Expired.
No Immunity for Passenger
Ships or Freighters.

Amsterdam, Feb. 13.-All periods
of grace for neutral ships entering the
zones announced as prohibited by
Germany have now expired, accord
ing to a Berlin official statement re-
ceived here. The statement says that
immunity ceased in respect to the At
lantic and English channel zones on
the night of February IL, for the
North sea zone on February 6 and for
the Mediterranean zone on February
10. 1t continues:
From now on, therefore, in all
prohibited zones the warning which
has been issued is in full force and
shipping can no longer expect indivi-
dual warning. Vessels which enter
the prohibited areas do so with a full
knowledge of the dangers threatening
them and their crews. 1t is expressly
stated that all news spread from
enemy sources about any torpedoing
of neutral ships without previous
warning before the dates mentioned
for the various prescribed areas is
Incorrect
The periods of grace mentioned
were also in force for enemy paSsen-
ger vessels because it was possible
that they were carrying neutral pass
engers who were perhaps ignorant of
the new blockade regulations.

crime was expressed by owners of the
vessel today. Steps are being taken
to raise the ship at the Chicago Divi-
