Senate Rejects
REPORT ON The
ESPIONAGE BILL

Washington, April 1.-THE confer
we're penalties for destruction or in
reference with production of essen
tial war materials, containing the
clause giving workmen the right to
strike for better wages or working
conditions, was rejected today by the
senate, "a to 25.
The vote will cause the house to
reconsider the bill. The senate op-
position was directed solely against
the clause providing that the bill
should not restrict workmen from
striking.
Many senators who objected to the
provisions regarded today's vote as a
rebuke to workmen who have struck
at ship yards and factories engaged
on war work.
While the senate was rejecting the
much discussed provision President
Gompers of the American Federation
of Labor, speaking before the Ma
tional Conference of American Lee
turers here, was denouncing the pro-
posaI to prohibit strikes and walk
outs.
LAS a patriotic American citizen
declared Mr.. Gompers, ''I serve
| warning on congress not to permit
the deviltry and folly of such law
1t will serve only to make strikers
| law breakers as well. Nothing will
do more to create resentment than to
make it unlawful for men to stoE
| work"
Nobody, he declared, has served
more effectually in offsetting the in
fuence of pernicious German propa-
ganda than organized labor.
Conscription of Labor was assailec
by Frank Morrison, secretary of the
American Federation Of Labor, who
declared conscription in democrat
ic nation should be used only for mil.
| itary purposes Senator Brandeget
of Connecticut voted against the
measure. Mclean of the same state
did not vote.

Washington, April 11-For
the protection of the Atlantic

rope the United States, with the
consent of Portugal, has estab-
lished a naval base at Funchal,
on the Azores Islands. Guns
have been landed to begin for

in addition to being used as a
naval base for American SUBJ
marines, destrOyers and other
small craft, also will serve as
an important homing station
for American aeroplanes, sew

been assembled there.
Negotiations now are in progress
between the state department and the
Portuguese government to insure
full cooperation between American
naval forces and the local authort-
ties of Portugal on the islands for
the adequate defense of the station
This action will simplify the task OF
protecting the great trade routes not

PEDDLER Of
DOPE HAS
$1,000
Chinaman Arrested This
Morning Had Fortune
in Possession.
GRIP CONTAINED
$2,50O HOP LOAD

Gee Sing, said to be one of
the craftiest, weathiest and
most desperate Of Chinese
opium smugglers in the coun-
try, was arrested this noon
when about to take the train
for New Haven, at the railroad
station, by Detective George
Washburn.
He was carrying an innocent
looking grip, which, when OPEN
ed by Captain Detective E. O.
Cronan, at police headquarters,
was found to contain $4,000
worth of pure opium and $500
in money.
Three pipes, two of them new, and
a lot of implements for the rolling
and cooking of the deadly drug, with
lot of Chinese literature were also
in the grip.
From information which the police
possess Gee Sing made the establish
ment at Waller court headquarters
for his activities in the New England
states. When the bland Oriental was
locked up Lieutenant Dooley and De-
tective Washburn went to the place
with the intention of raiding it, Upon
arriving it was discovered the occu-
pants had moved out early today and
that Gee Sing was the last to leave.
Detective Washburn's capture is
considered one of the most important
in this branch of crime accomplished
| in a number of years. 1t is the result
of months of trailing and quiet in
vestigation on the part of the officer.
| When it is considered that Gee Sing
has been arrested by the federal au-
thorities on a couple of occasions in
New York, without getting anything
on him, the work of Washburn can
be appreciated.
Examined by Captain Cronan, Gee
Sing admitted he originally came
from San Francisco, and has success
fully evaded capture by the federal.
state, county and city authorities from
| the Pacific to the Atlantic coast and
from the northern parts of Canada to
| the Mexican border. He also ad-
