MEASURE PROVIDES SEVERE
PUNISHMENT FOR AIDING
ENEMIES OF U. S.
HINTS AT NEUTRALITY PLOTS
War Power for the President Is
Sought by Lansing-Vote on Es-
pionaqe Measure Was go to 10
Death Penalty Provided.

Washington, Feb. 22.-The admins
tration espionage bill, providing Sc
we're penalties for spying on matters
of national defense and Furnishing con-
spiracies to violate American neutral
ity was passed by the senate ON Tues
day by vote of 60 to III.
The bill as passed takes in IA sep
arate measures suggested by the de-
partment of justice and was put
through virtually unchanged. 1t has
not passed the house.
Secretary Lansing and Assistant At
torney General Warren spurred the
senate judiciary committee to pass
four other bills, one empowering the
president to use the army and navy
to enforce neutrality.
Those voting no on the espionage
bill were Senators BOrah, Cummins,
Gronna, Kenyon, LaFollette, Norris
and Works, Republicans, and Lane,
Lee and Vardaman, Democrats.
Cummins led the opposition, de-
claring the bill too drastic. He sub
mitted II amendments, which were
killed. He said the government could
suppress newspapers, prevent debate
in congress-it might even be crime
for two citizens to discuss military
information.
The SOY section is far-reaching in
character, making it crime, punish
able with two years of Imprisonment
or $4,000 fine, to approach or enter
any place connected with the national
defense, unlawfully obtain informa-
ton, or to make photographs, blue
prints, plans, ETC., of things connect
ed with such defense, or to dispose OF
code,or signal book or model OF any,
thing else of national defense value.
Where these things are done for
foreign government in time OF peace,
whether recognized or unrecognized"
by the United States, the penalty IS
increased to 20 years Imprisonment,
and in time of war for life. Any per-
son who in war time with the intent
that it shall be communicated to the
enemy, "shall collect, record, publish
or communicate or attempt TO enclt
any information" with respect to the
movement, number, etc, of the armed
forces of the United States or its war
materials or it's plans of military or
naval operations, cor any other IN
formation relating to the public de-
tense or calculated to be-" shall be pun
iShad with DEATH or by fine and not
more than 30 years imprisonment.
The president is given arbitrary
power to designate things and places
in addition to those specifically named
which shall be included in the term
national defense.
Another important section author
ICES the president to seize, deta1n or
condemn munitions of war and ships
carrying or about to carry them, des-
tined to an enemy, to nation with
which the United States is at peace,
and in so doing he is empowered to
use the army and navy.
Regulation of the anchorage and
movements of foreign ships in the wa
tiers of the United States in case OF
national emergency is provided in an
other section, with power given to
place guards on such ships to prevent
damage.

To Modify Fee Bill.

Counties having a population less
than 10000 will in all probability be ex-
cluded from the antifee bill which the
legislative recess committee on the
preparation of fee bill will present to
the legislature when it meets Feb. 26.
Of the Sc counties in the state, 81 fall
under this class.
The committee is using the fee bill
introduced by Representative George
A. Macon of Shelby as basis on which
to work, and will probably adopt this
bill with committee amendments. The
bill introduced by Representative Lou
than of Sumner county will be given a
hearing this week, when 1t will be
championed by it's author. The differ
ence in the two bills is that Louthan
bill would place the various Offices on
salaries pro rated according to the re-
ceipts of the office, while Macon's reg
ulates the salaries according to popu-
lation.

For Signaling in Foo,

A new system for vessels signaling
in the fog has been worked out by a
British scientist. 1t Is believed that
this will prevent many collisions when
put into general use. The scientist
points out that the sound Of fog
horn comes out of the mist in such a
freakish way that it is impossible for
the pilot on another vessel to estimate
accurately how far away is the vessel
blowing the horn. In the new system
a foghorn signal and wireless signal
will be sent out simultaneously. The
speed of wireless waves and sound
waves is different, and the exact diff
ference in speed is known. By noting
the interval that elapses between the
receiving of the wireless message and
the sound of the foghorn the receiving
vessel can tell exactly how far away
the sending vessel is. AS soon as she
has received two or more messages she
knows whether the other ship is COM
ing closer or bearing away and has
ample warning to prepare for trouble.

That's not a portrait, is it?" asked
one little Star in a timid voice.

Moon, ''you really should all go to

"We don't have school in the sky"
twinkIed another Star.
"It looks as though you should have
school, though" said Mr.. Moon. "May-
be I'll have to teach you myself"
"Oh what fun" said the Stars.
'You'd be Professor Moon then and
you'd have to wear spectacles.'
Nonsense" said Mr.. Moon. ST
wouldn't have to wear spectacles at
all. I'm quite bright enough without
them, and can see the whole world
so what do I need of spectacles, pray
tell?"

Stars. "You really don't need spec
tacles at all. We were quite mistaken
quite"

First-FIoor Plan.

terial and workmanship you increase
the life ten years. If the house lasted
so years, each year would show a de-
probation of $50 in the $4,000. Ten
years life in the house is, then, worth
$500. So note that by adding $100 to
the original cost you can get the ten
years of additional life, which is val
ued at $500.
The house as illustrated here will
be found of interest as regards both
it's exterior appearance and the mate
rials of which it is designed to be built.
Brick veneer is used for the outside
up to the sills of the second-floor win
dows, and from there up to the box
cornice cement plaster is used. This
not only gives a longer life to the
house but today is proving popular
in most sections Of the country.
The porch runs into a terrace
through what would be termed colon
made in interior design. The terrace
In front of the living room serves all
the purposes of the much-desired porch
In front of the living room. In this
way, however, there is no porch root
to obstruct the light coming through
the windows into the living room.
Entering the reception room from
the porch, one window in front, two in
the side and a seat built in the corner
by the stairway, give an inviting feel
ing. This is further added to on en-

than things put into the design which
make it unattractive.
The more attractive home is always
in greater demand. Demand regulates
value, to some extent regardless of the
original cost. Your home is an invest
ment, as well as a thing you have
pride in, and at some later time you
may desire to sell it. When this time
comes the more attractive house you
have built will show a greater value
of your investment.
A greater value is what you look for
in other investments. Why not en-
body the idea in the home you are
going to build? In addition, you will
then have something of which you can
be more proud. Attractiveness is free,
so don't neglect it.
Materials entering into the con-
struction, as well as workmanship, are
other things which should be given
earnest thought before anything def
mite is decided on. They may add some
to the cost, but this addition will be
more than made up for by the addi-
tional life of the house.
Suppose your house cost $4,000 and
that by adding 500 to the cost of ma

Amends Utilities Law.


Railways of Ohio will come more
largely under state control if
suggestions faVorably considered now
are written into the utilities law
of the state as is now proposed. The
plan is to widen the utilities law SO
that the commission may have over
railways the same general control that
is exercised over utilities in the state.
The purpose is to secure closer CO.
operation of the state control with the
operating departments of the railways
and secure more business-like dis
patch of traffic at all times. 1t is de-
signed to give the commission power
to step in and help handle congestioas
by shifting rules and regulations to
meet abnormal conditions and lend
the power of the state to cleaning
them up.
The railways appear to look with
| much favor on the suggestions and
amendments to the law already being
drafted to make the change. The
situation is one, railway men are a
unit in agreeing, where full co-opera-
tion must be had and where a central
authority must supervise to a degree
that will make the cooperation effec,
| tive.

ter, hang up their coats and go direct

through the house.
Among things in the kitchen which
would be appreciated by the house
keeper are the two windows over the
sink and a place where the kitchen
table might be placed. The exception
ally large pantry between the dining
room and kitchen would be appreciat-
ed also. 1t is nearly IA feet long and
about four feet wide. The refrigerator
is placed in the end of the pantry next
to the outside wall. A door is con-
structed in this outer wall so that the
refrigerator may be filed from the out
side. This is convenient from many
points of view.
Going to the second floor it will be
noted that the landing of the stairway
is located in a bay of the house. This
is, from an artistic point of view, al
ways looked on with favor.
The hall has been centrally located
so that it is not only convenient to &C

ors Funston's Memory.

Western Newspaper Union News Service
Columbus-Acting in unison in ac-
cordance with program the majority
in the House of Representatives took
long strides toward preparing for final
adjournment of the General Assembly.
Having procured the almost unanimous
support of the Republicans for the
adoption of the Chapman resolution
fixing March as the day for ceasing
work and March 20 as the day for 60
ing away, Speaker Pro Tenn. w. w.
Stokes, Democratic floor leader, exc
cuted a strategical play devised at a
caucus.
Taking the minority scouts off their
guard, he moved to informally pass all
pending bills upon the calendar. This
brought up the consideration of resolu
tions. After the adjournment measure
was safely sent to the Senate for adop
ton there was taken up the Stokes
resolution to appoint a Steering Com
mittee to control the calendar.
For the minority, Representative
Frank Reighard, of Fulton, objected or
the ground that no time had been fixed
for adjournment and that seizure o.
the control of the calendar therefore
was unwarranted.
The majority exercised its power anG
forced through the resolution. Speaker
Edward J. Hopple is to name this com
mittee, and it will proceed to work a
once, which means that hundreds O.
bills will not even be acted upon b!
the standing committees. The Senate
already has provided for its calenda
control, so that the administration il

This supreme action had the rathe
humorous effect OF causing the dis
gorgement in both Houses of pet bill
that had been held up for favorable
occasions and bringing upon the cal
endar a multitude of measures from
the various committees.
