SENATE NOTES
Items OF Interest From Upper
House of Legislature.

The Kansas senate now has nothing
to do but work on bills that its men,
bers have already introduced and han
die whatever business Is sent over by
the house of representatives. When
the final introduction of bills had been
completed Thursday afternoon 1t was
found that the senate had one of the
most modest totals of any senate in re-
cent years. Only $40 bills had been
introduced.
OF course, there will be more bills.
appropriation measures from the ways
and means committee and few-from
other committees. but there will be no
not have the approval OF more than
one senator.
Senator Kanavef has introduced an
other bill providing for a return to
the old system of voting. 1t provides
that a straight ticket may be voted by
marking an TX" at the top and that a
voter may vote at random without
designating any party affiliations.
When a state penitentiary inmate
wants to get a parole Senator Schoch
would make it necessary for his ap-
plication to the parole board to be
published at least two weeks in ad-
board. The publication would have
to be in the county in which the per-
son was convicted of crime.
When public service corporations
require patrons to make a deposit be-
fore getting service Senator Pomeroy
wants them to be compelled. to keep
these deposits in a special fund and to
pay interest to the depositors at the
rate of 6 per cent a year. A bill pro-
viding for this was among the last to
go into the hopper Thursday.
Some one has played a trick on
Senator Hickey, 1t seems. Late Thurs
day bill was introduced under his
name, providing for the establishment
of school of poetry at Lyndon. One
provision was that no one should be
teacher in the school who was not
a resident Of the county, more than SO
years old and a former member OF the
Kansas state senate.
The ways and means committee has
completed its appropriation bill for
the state penitentiary at Lensing. For
salaries. sos, 900 would be allowed for
each of the next two years. and fol-
cell houses costing $4,000 are pro
vided for. and a $4,000 improvement
to the power plant Is approved. The
upkeep of the mines and brick plant
! requires $22,500 the committee be.
lieves, and the criminal insane should
receive $4,000 worth of attention dur.
ing the next two years.
A bill providing for the use of brick
| made at the state penitentiary. in road
building has now passed both the
house and senate and it will probably
be only a short time until Kansas will
be able to draw on a new source fol
permanent highway material.
The Kansas senate does not wan
any questions about the right of Kan
sas soldiers to vote, in case another
| war takes thousands of them from the
state. A bill providing a special ballot
for them has been passed. The bill
| was fathered by Senator Metcalf. and
also provides for the voting of other
Kansans, who are out of the state and
engaged in government work.

COBLENZ, Jan. (By The Associated

commission. The Americans contended
that the guns were of old models and

some had been damaged by premature
explosions and that others We're lack

The German commission which has
been at Coblenz attending to the de-

eight rejected cannon must be IN

So far sixty-four cannon of various

Greatest Warship
Afoat Built bv
England in 1918
Output l,876,4l1 Tons, of
Which 77O,347 We're
Launched for the Navy in
the Clyde Yards Alone

LONDON, Jan. Sin an article on
shipbuilding to-day "The Sunday OBJ
server" states the total output of the
United Kingdom during 1918 of both
naval and mercantile ships was 1,245
vessels of 1,S76,411 tons and 4,349, ,26O
horsepower.
"The wonder-work of the war peri
od," says "The Observer" as to be
found not in mercantile shipbuilding,
but in naval, and, above all things, in
naval engineering On the Clyde
alone during the war 4S1 vessels of
770.347 tons and 6,O9S, $50 horsepower
were constructed as additions to the
naval strength of the country In
this total are included no merchant
vessels ordered by the government and
no general service trawlers, tugs or
craft att, built on government order.
"Ihe list is composed of battleships,
battie-crulsers, light cruisers, destroy
ers and submarines, together with
armed merchant cruisers, seaplane car
rlers, monitors, minesweepers, those
new vessels known as sloops, which are
really little lighter than cruisers or low
speed destroyers; gungoats, patrol
boats. hospital steamships, and also the
. boate and Pc boats, of which SO
little could be said while the war was
on, or even yet can be said
The battle cruiser Hood was the
greatest of all our mystery ships. She
and the Rodney would have been the
greatest surprise packages of the war.
In speed and gun power they were to
have exceeded anything afoat. Only
the Hood, however, viii be completed,
as a great specimen of the latest in
British naval architecture. All that
exists of the Rodney will be scrapped
But it is really in marine engineer
ing that the year 1918 and the war
period as whole have been extraor-
dinary. The twelve months record in
production of ships machinery is held
by the Wallsend Slipway Company,
Ltd, of Wallsend- ont ele. which
tlrned out engines of 316.290 horse
power, but other firms have turned out
machinery in amounts which would
have been notable in normal times.
"The year 1916, however, was the
year of the highest records, the Fair
field Company, on the Clyde, alone pro
ducing marine propelling machinery
tota!ling 468,410 horsepower This
was the year when high power destroy
crs were being turned out almost en-
masse by all firms to hunt down Ger
