SENATE CANVASS
FAv0RS BONUS 81
Informal Straw Vote Dis
closes 20 Republicans and
10 Democrats Opposed.

Informal canvasses made by lead
bill were said yesterday to have dis
closed a Senate majority for the
measure Of practically three to one.
This compares with the nearly five
to one vote by which the bill passed
the House.
Both sides in the impending fight
were understood to have found some
satisfaction in the result of the can
vases. Opponents said defeat of any
cloture rule to limit debate or the
bill practically was assured, while
some proponents pointed out that If
three-to-one majority could be held
there would be the necessary votes
to pass the insecure over President
Harding's veto !should he disapprove
it. as some opponents contend that he
will il passed in its present form.
Thirty senators were listed as def
initely against the amended House
bill with this number possibly to be
augmented by one Senator, who is
absent from Washington and whose
position has not yet been definitely
established. The thirty senators were
divided. twenty on the republican
side and ten on The democratic side.
A number of senators. who are
counted now as supporters Of the
present bill if no different one can be
put through, will join in a fight to
amend the measure reported by the
finance committee. Some Of them
favor a cash feature with other i'm
portant changes. but the extent to
which it will be possible to change
the pending bill is regarded now as
problematical.

GUARD KATO AGAINST
ATTACK when HE IS
FAVORED FOR PREMIER

By the Associated Press.
TOXIC, June 10.-Popular feel
ing is running so high over the
recommendation of the Genro
that Admiral Baron Kato regarded
by many of the people as a reac-
tionary, be asked to form a cabi-
net to succeed that of Viscount
Takahashi, that the admirals resi-
dence is being closely guarded.
Constitutionalists, supported by
majority of vernacular papers, are
carrying on a vigorous campaign
against the formation of a bureau
cratic or non-party cabinet such as
they declare Kato's would be.
Parades formed in protest against
the Kato-for- premier movement
visited the residence of the ad-
miral and of Genro members. Kato
is sounding out his friends on the
situation and Is reported to have
decided to refuse the premiership
unless he can obtain the strongest
possible cabinet.

100 MOuntaineers
Converted; Promise
To Quit MOOnshining

Special Dispatch to The Star.
WINCHESTER, Va, June TO-
More than 100 mountaineers of
Page county got down ON their
knees during the past week and
prayed long and hard TINT their
sins might be forgiven.
The most common "sin" ap-
peared to be moOnshining. for
after the small army of noun
tnineers professed cOnversiOn
more than half of their number
stepped forward and took the
pledge that they would make
no more mOOnshine liquor. Some
others seemed to be In doubt
as to taking such a step.
Religion seemingly has been
accomplishing far more good
than the threat Of the law
throughout the mountain dis
tricts, as hns been evidenced by
the success which the revival
meetings of Rev. J. H. Frid-
ley. a Methodist clergyman mt

These mOuntaineers have heen

BIDS TO Be ASKED
/. ON NEW AQUEDUCT
Maj. Tyler Will Push Work to
Save Danger of Water
Famine.

The first step toward building
Washington's new water supply sys-
tenn will be taken this week. when
charge Of the aqueduct, will adver-
tise for bids to begin construction.
Although the District appropriation
bill, carrying funds for the water
project, has not yet become a law,
the engineer office will seek bids i'm
mediately, SO that dirt will begin to
fly as soon as possible after the bill
passes.
The advertisement for bids will go
out June II and the proposals re-
ceived from contractors will be open
ed on July IT, No time will be lost
In letting contracts after that date.
The appropriation bill as it now
stands makes S1.500.00O Immediately
available and authorizes the engi-
neer's Office to contract for $1,450,00O
more.
Line to Reservoir First.
Realizing the danger of a water
shortage which Washington will con-
line Is finished, Maj. Tyler intends to
build the conduit from Great Falls to
Dalecarlia reservoir first and let the
new filtration plant and additional
reservoir be the last part of the prof.
ect.
Maj. Tyler said yesterday that work
on the conduit will be started stimuli
IN oil of III
mile stretch from Great Falls to the
District. 1t is probable that the
building Of the big supply pipe will
be going on at the Great Falls end,
the District end and midway between
| the two terminals.
1t is the hope of the engineers to
have eight OF the nine miles Of con-
duit built within two years.
Maj. Tyler explained that when the
conduit is completed it can be put
into service Immediately. without
waiting for completion of the new
filtration plant and reservoirs.
The new supply line will parallel
the existing conduit on the river
side. The old conduit is circular in
shape. nine feet in diameter, and
| constructed of brick and stone ma
sonry. The new conduit will be built
of concrete and will have a horse
shoe shape.
The two huge water tubes will be
connected by cross-sections at sew
.eral points SO that short stretches
of either conduit may be emptied at
any time for repairs.
No Chance for Repairs.
The greatest menace which the city
faces today is the fact that the sin
gle conduit cannot be closed long
enough to permit Of extensive re-
pairs, which are bound to become
| necessary in the course of time in a
Ions Of water every day.
Although the 435.000 residents of
Washington have cause to rejoice that
the additional water supply. for which
they have been waiting so many years
is soon to be. a reality. officials Of the
District water department hope that
they will not cease to save water during
the two or three summers that must
eIapse before the new conduit Is in
service.
Industrial plants using large quanti-
ties of water and householders are urged
to save the precious fluid during these
hot months Of the year. when the exist
ing reservoirs are taxed nearly to their
capacities.

NORFOLK. Va, June 1o.-ApproXi-
mately 1000 quarts of liquor, valued
at more than $4,000, were seized by
the marine guard Of the navy yard to-
day in a raid on the naval transport
Sirius under orders of Rear Admiral
Philip Andrews. commandant of the
Norfolk navy yard. officers and men
of the ship are confined TO their ship
under guard.
The Sirius is commanded by Com
mander W. ]. Kelton. L. S. n. r. F.,
and Ensign Harry C. Mechtold. pay
master. in charge of cargo. Both
were among those confined to the
ship at the time of the raid. but Ad-
miral Andrews announced tonight
that they. with some other officers
and men, had been permitted to Leave
the vessel.
Information came to Admiral An
drews that a strong smell of whisky
was evident in cargo being unloaded
from the Sirius onto barges along
side for shipment to the naval sup
ply station at the naval base. Wait
ing until the barges had been loaded
Admiral Andrews ordered a search
of the contents of the shipment and
then had the ship searched by the
marine guard.
Vessel Placed Under Guard.
Guards were placed on board the
transport and alongside the vessel at
the dock and orders were issued for
bidding any one to board the vessel
or to come ashore without orders
from the commandant.
While search of the ship was in
progress it was reported that sixty
cases of whiskey was thrown over
board by members of the crew.
The Sirius returned to Hampton
roads about a week ago from the
West Indies and has been at the navy
yard since The whisky, according to
information received from Admiral
Andrews, was put aboard the vessel
as cargo at one of the West Indian
ports.
The commanding officer OF the
Sirius, according to Admiral Andrews.
was detached from the vessel today
and ordered to the receiving barracks
at the naval base.
Inquiry Board COnvenes.
A board of investigation has been
convened. and until the board has
made its report it is doubtful whether
charges will be preferred against any
of the officers or members of the crew
Of the vessel.
The liquor cargo was not listed on
the vessels manifest. and there was
no method of ascertaining today at
which port the contraband was load
ed. The whisky, in thirteen large
packing cases, was consigned to the
marine quartermaster depots at the
naval operating base.
Admiral Andrews notified Norman
IN, Hamilton. collector of customs.
that the liquor would be retained
under guard at the navy yard for the
present. Mr.. Hamilton said today
that his office was notified by naval
officials of the arrival of the Sirius
last week from the West Indies and
q customs inspector boarded the ves-
sci and received the statement of the
commanding officer that the vessel
carried no contraband cargo. and it
was entered.
