ASKS FUND FUR HALIFAX
 RELIEF

Mayor Ashley has received the following message from the Cana dian Club Of Seattle. "We need Alaska's help for Halifax sufferers. Please wire what your community will do, Anchorage, Ketchikan and Wrangell have helped Halifax re- lief splendidly."
 The city council last night turned this matter over to the AL askan for publicity.
 The need is evident. More than 5000 people have been made home less by the disaster. Several thou sand people were wounded by the explosion and falling debris. The cause is a worthy one.
 Anyone wishing to help the Hali- fax sufferers is requested to leave his donations with James Kennedy who will look after the sending of the money to the Canadian Club of Seattle.

SENATOR FORAKER
 CALLED BY DEATH
 AGED 7O YEARS
TRepubIican A. p. Leased Wire1

CINCINNATI, May 10.-The funeral of former Senator Joseph B. Foraker, who died today at his home here, will be held Saturday at 2:30 o'clock from his late residence. Rev. Daniel Me Gurk, of the Walnut Hills Methodist Episcopal church, of which the senator was a member, will officiate.
 Former Senator Foraker, who was
 70 years old, had been in poor health since his retirement from the senate in 1909. but it was not until two weeks ago that he was forced to his bed and his condition was not considered crit ical until last night
 Foraker was twice elected and like wise twice defeated for the governor ship of Ohio; while he served two
 terms in the United States senate, from
 1897 to 1909. He presented the name
 of William Mckinley to the republican national convention in 1896 and 1900 Senator Foraker was born in High land county, Ohio, July ,, 1S46. He entered the Union army as a private when Is years old and came out at the l close of the war as first lieutenant.
 After the war he worked his way through Cornell college and began the practice of law in Cincinnati in 1869. Ten years later he was elected a judge of the superior court of Cincinnati and , remained on the bench until 1882. | He was the republican candidate for ] governor of Ohio in 1883, but was de- feated at the election. In 1885 he was elected to the governorship and served two terms. In 1897 he was elected to the United States senate and served in
 that body until 1909. MT. Foraker's
 most notable performance as a member
 of the senate consisted of the Cuban 1 intervention resolution, which brought
 on the war with Spain; the resolution prohibiting corporations exploiting i Cuba after the war; the statute under which Porto Rico is governed. and the
 motion in executive session of the sen
 ate by which the old Clayton Bulwer treaty was abrogated prior to the ] United States acquiring the right to construct and control the Panama

HOOVER DECLARES WITH PROPER CONTROL NO OCCASION FOR FOOD
 PANIC HERE BECAUSE OF WAR
Republican A. p. Leased WireJ

NEW YORK, May 10.-Herbert C. Hoover. who recently came from Eu- rope to advise the government on food conditions in Europe, says that without control we may see flour at $20 a bar Tel before the year is over, but that with control, the present price of flour can be reduced 40 to 50 per cent and at the same time the producer be treated in liberal manner"
 MT. Hoover thus outlined food condi- tions in statement to the Associated Press today:
 There is absolutely no occasion for food panic in this country nor any jus tification for outrageous prices unless the opposition of special interests de- feats the president in obtaining the necessary powers to control the nations food fully and adequately. America , problem is not one of famine, for we have now and will have next year a large surplus. Our problem is. after the proper protection of our own peo- pie, to give to our allies the last ounce of surplus of which we are capable.
 Therefore the nation needs a food control for two purposes: to regulate prices and to increase the surplus. Af- ter proVidirg for our norn7al ~o~e''-''''- - tiOn. we will have together with Can
 
 only sixty per cent of the food they re- quiIe from us. If we take broad meas ures of control we can with as little disturbances to economic machinery as need be- furnish them an additional 20 per cent
 Their loaf even then will be pri- vation loaf. and every ounce we can put in it will diminish their privation. The problem is caDable of solution. If. however. the whole world. allied and neutral, is to have the unrestricted run of our markets in competition with each other and cooperation with the speculator in this country, we may eX- pect to see S5 wheat before the year is over
 Large measures of food control do not mean arbitrary interference with the necessary economic machinery of trade. They mean that every branch be called in by the government and forge themselves into link from which the contemplated chain will protect producer, legitimate distributor, and consumer
 For instance. am assured that the American farmer did not realize $1.30 per hushel for the 1916 wheat harvest, yet the price of wheat in New York to- day is $3.25 per bushel and flour is S14 per barrel with all it's attendant hardship and dislocation of social and industrial life.

ONE MISSION VISITS NEW YORK; ANOTHER
 IS DUE THERE TODAY
FRENCH MISSION PRESENT AT THREE
 DRAMATIC EVENTS
rRepubIican A. p. Leased wire1

NEW YORK, May 10.-Three dra- matic events which will become historic in the annals of New York marked the activities of the French war mission today. In their chronological order they were:
 inc address of Rene Viviani, vice president of the council of inIniste., ., and head of the mission, at a luncheon of the Merchants association, when he declared France never would cease fighting until Alsace and Lorraine were restored to her, and when he pro- claimed that the Stars and Stripes would never attain their full signlfi- canoe until they floated from the trenches of Europe
 The placing by Marshal .Joffre of a wreath upon the sarcOphagus of Gen eral Grant.
 The reception to the French residents of the city at the Public Library to- night when Joffre, Viviani and their colleagues greeted their compatriots, including several hundred bluejackets from French warships.
 The spectacle which appealed most to the popular imagination was that enacted at Grants tomb. There was an impressive stiffness among the many thousands of spectators as Mar shal Joffre alighted from his automo- bile and walked slowly along the wide pavement leading to the tomb. Tn. memorable words of the man whose ashes have long reposed within, carved in the granite above the tomb q grate- full nation gave him. seemed once again to echo their solemn admonition, Let Us have peace," That this thought, although possibly remote of achieve ment, was in the mind of the gallant French soldier whose fullness of heart has so endeared him to his own men that they revere him as a father, was evidenced by the tears that glistened in his kind eyes.
 Here, if ever in the nations great bustling metropolis, silence was more expressive than words. Here also was a tribute of one of the worlds great heroes to the memory of an- other, which was unmistakably genuine and sincere.
 The thousands who had paused in their daily duties to honor the victor of the Marne and his colleagues, ap- parently realized the significance of the moment. Where there had been a veritable canopy of small flags Hut.

WASHINGTON. May 10.-Debate on the administration espionage bill, whose press censorship and embargo provisions have been the object of bit ter attack for nearly ten days reached d point today where leaders were hope ful a vote can be taken before tomor- row nights adjournment Many speeches are yet to be made on the censorship section, but the senate hound itself today to limit debate so that no filibuster or dilatory tactics can delay the final roll call.
 Just before adjournment tonight Senators Cummins and Thomas sug- gested an amendment to the censor ship section modifying the original Ian guage, and it was accepted by Senator Overman, in charge of the bill who said it would go into the measure to- morrow. It's adoption may end the fight over this provision, although Sen ator Stone announced he did not want it accepted and efforts may be made to eliminate any sort of censorship from the measure.
 The amendment provides that in time of war the president may pre- scribe and promulgate rules and regu- lations for the purpose of preventing the disclosure to the public and thereby lD lllt tHtiIy OI lIllOli1ld NlIn re- spect to the movement. numbers de- scription and disposition of any of the armed forces of the United States in naval or military operations or with respect to any works intended for the fertilization and defense of any place.
 Wilful violation of the rules would be punished with five year prison term or 5000 fine. nroviSo removes members of congress from operation of the rules.
 The original language of the section made it a crime to publish or commun- icate information calculated to be use- full to the enemy.
 Most of today's debate centered about regulations to be imposed upon use of the mails. Amendments were adopted prohibiting the opening of mail by any postal employe except in the dead let ter office and declaring non -maila ble any publication eontaining ma tor "sd- vocating or urging treason. insurrec- ton. or forcible resistance of any law of the United States"

 CHICAGO, May 10.-Many neWspa- per publishers are now on the way to Washington to attempt to procure fair treatment for their business under the proposed war tax, it was announced to- night by HoDewell l.. Rogers, president of the American Newspaper Publishers Association. MT Rogers said the pub fishers would cooperate with E. E. Baker. chairman of the legislation com mittee of the association. In connec- tion with the proposed increase in post age, President Rogers made the follow ing statement:
 Tt is difficult to understand the pol icy of the government, not only in the unfair if not illegal practice of dating taxes back but also in putting so great a tax on business in any form; and particularly in placing so heavy a tax on the newspaper business, which has been probably more severely affected in the last year through increased prices than any other industry. In time of war they suffer particularly, owing to the enormously increased expenses due to the gathering of war news and the increased circulation-for increased circulation means increased expenses.
 ''In the last year most of the news papers in the country have been com pelled to increase the subscription price Of their papers, as well as their adver- Using rates. in an attempt to obtain earnings sufficient to carry on their business. Newspapers in normal times seldom increase their advertising rates fast enough to keep up with the in creasde cost of increased circulation and the last year has seen most papers facing a severe financial crisis. In spite of these facts the new revenue bill proposes an increase in postal rates which are particularly unfair as to the first zones, tax of 10 per cent on print
