SPIES IN NATIONS CAPITOL
Somebody Pried open Door of the Sen
ate Naval Committee Room
Nothing Was Taken.

Washington, April 20.-The door Of
the Senate naval affairs committee in
the Capitol building was ''jimmied"
last night and early today was found
standing open. Police believe the job
was the work Of spies seeking infor-
nation of naval plans. An investiga-
ton is under way. The force Of guards
about the Capitol was questioned.
Senator Swanson, acting chairman Of
the committee, said as far as he could
learn, nothing had been taken.
Evidently someone thought there
were valuable plans or information in
the room,'' ne said. Gas a matter of
fact, there is seldom anything Of a
confidential nature in the committee
room"
Early in the investigation, the police
announced they believed it was done
by someone hidden in the building.

HOUSE COMMITTEE FOR DRAFT
Amendment to Measure, However,
Makes Call for Volunteer Army OPP
tionaI with the President.

Washington, April 19.-With the
President ready to carry the fight for
an army formed along the lines Of
universal service before the Nation,
the House military affairs committee
voted today TO insert a provision for
volunteer army in the general staffs
bill. But in doing so, the committee
partly gave way TO the growing senti-
ment in favor of the selectiYe draft
method. At first it voted to make the
calling of volunteers by the President
mandatory, but later it reversed its
decision and decided to authorize"
the volunteers.
The President, already having de-
cided that the volunteer system is dan
SerOus to the safety of the Nation, can
ignore the authorization and put the
selective draft, also provided in the
bill, into effect as soon as the bill is
passed. The House bill merely pro-
vides that the volunteers may be call
ed first, and if the response is insult
ficient the selective draft should be
used
As matters stand, however, the
House bill may have hard shedding.
The Senate committee formally voted,
10 to z, today to report the general
staff bill virtually without change.
The measure will be presented tomor-
row and may be passed by the Sen
ate without waiting for action by the
House.
President Wilson is using every eff
fort to get the selective draft plan
into law, and it is probable that he
will go before Congress again to urge
it as the Nations greatest need. On
the floor of the House the anti-draft
forces, led by Representative Dent,
chairman of the military committee,
and Anthony of Kansas, will try to
obtain passage Of the amended bill
Monday. Representative Kahn Of
California, ranking Republican men,
Der of the committee, is preparing a
report to be signed by the minority
and will join in leading the fight on
the floor for the administration.
The vote TO amend the bill in the
House committee was Is TO 8.

GOVERNMENT MAY
CONTROL ALL FOOD
Secretary Houston Asks Au-
thOrity for Supervision OF
Production and Price.
WANTS A BIG APPROPRIATION
Head of Agricultural Department Re-
quests S25, DOC, 900 to Put the Plan
Into Execution.

Washington, April 21.-The gov
ernment's program for food control
during the war was put before con
gress today by Secretary Houston in
communication to the senate asking
power for the department of agricul-
ture to take direct supervision of food
production and distribution in the
United States and requesting a $685.
100000 appropriation for putting the
plan into operation.
Authority was asked for the Coun-
Gil of National Defense, in an emer-
gency, to buy and sell foodstuffs and
to fix maximum and minimum prices.
The governments plan is first to
make a complete survey of the coun-
try's food supply to determine its
necessary, to license and control the
operations of all concerns engaged in
the manufacture of food or feeds,
agriculture implements and all ma
terials required for agriculture pur-
poses. Authority is sought for the
agriculture department to take over
and operate the concerns if at any
time it appears that course is demand
ed by the public interest.
One of the Chief Needs.
Giving the government power to
deal directly in foodstuffs probably
would make its application unneces-
sary, Secretary Houston declared, as
its very existence would tend to keep
conditions normal. He proposed that
the government should have full dis
erection, saying it might be wise if an
emergency arose to fix prices on a
single commodity.
Market grades and classes for farm
products, Secretary Houston said, is
one of the chief needs of the country
to insure proper conditions in produc-
ing and marketing farm products
For Equitable Distribution.
Enlargement of the market news
service of the department was recon-
mended as a means of insuring equita-
BILE distribution, to prevent undue
food shortage in any consuming center
and to provide against wastes due to
temporary oVersupply of foods in
some communities. The department
wishes to allow the market service
division to assist in obtaining re-
routing of foodstuffs to relieve con-
gestion on transportation lines.
