SOCIALISTS ARE
 EXPELLED FROM
 N. '. ASSEMBLY

ALBANY, N. Y, April 1-The five Socialist members of the lower house of the New York state leg islature, against whom charges were preferred some time ago, were eX- pelled from the assembly at late hour last night, the lawmakers be- ing in session nearly all night de- batting the question. Each one of the unpopular members was voted on separately, and each case the r.te stood nearly -four to one "a expulsion. The galleries were crowd led with spectators throughout the day and many of them remained until the final vote was taken. Assemblyman Roosevelt took an active part in the defense of the Socialists. In his address to the lawmakers he protested strongly against expulsion. He conceded that the assembly had the right to expel any member, but declared that the expulsion of the five Socialist mem bers would be condemning the So- cialist party as conspiracy. If we expel these members" he ar gued, i've must expel Socialists from every office they hold in the nation, and must take the ballot from all Socialists as we'll"
 The majority report of the as sembly judiciary committee, which recommended the expulsion, branded the Socialist party as composed-en- |tirely of political traitors. The mi nority report of the committee dis sented.
 Majority Leader Alder supported Roosevelt in the fight against expul- sion.

FLOATING WAREHOUSES.

The war brought into existence in
Japan about $4,000 tons of wooden
ships of over 500 tons each, but they
were hastily built and not sufficient
ly seaworthy. An interesting pro-
ject now arises to launch a 100000
600 company to operate floating
warehouses in Japan, and the own
ers of these ships, who cannot sell
them OF find business for them, are
forming the new company, there be-
ing a great shortage of warehouse
space on land. These floating ware
houses would serve in the harbors of
Yokohama, Kobe and Osaka. In
shipping circles, however, there is
doubt as to whether this project can
be put through.
