BILL GIVES ALIEN
WOMEN NEW RIGHTS
House Passes Measure Which
Would Give Women Same
Rights as Alien Men.

WASHINGTON, June 20.-CBy A.
P.)-To meet conditions which its
friends claimed have been empha-
sized by the woman suffrage amend
ment the house Tuesday. by a vote Of
Zoo 10 g. passed a bill which would
open TO alien married women sub
stantially all naturalization and citi-
zenship rights enjoyed by alien men.
The bill would also permit Ameri-
can women who marry foreigners 10
retain their citizenship unless they
renounce their allegiance, as do
American men who marry aliens or
unless they marry aliens ineligible
to United States citizenship.
The proceedings consisted princi-
pally Of efforts by members 10 place
themselves on record in speeches de-
claring their insistance upon com
plete equality Of woman and men in
all such matters.
II had been estimated that there
are 100000 alien women in the
United States who are not natural
lied. Under existing law many Of
these are denied the right OF citizen
ship because their alien husbands
had failed TO obtain a naturalization.
With the declared object OF better
protecting American citizenship the
bill would permit all alien women to
qualify for and obtain naturalization
and citizenship upon their own in
itiative even though they have Am 4.
erican husbands. For the bennt Of
alien women who marry Americans
the period OF residence necessary for
naturalization would De reduced TO
one year.

would enable a woman who had by
marriage los her citizenship 10 oh
tain naturalization and recover her

that a strike vote should not be taken

made Tuesday by vote of So to

Adoption OF a motion 20 this effect
came after an all-day fight at the
outset of which an effort TO get the
bonus before the senate failed. Sew
eral senators gave formal notice that
they would continue 10 press for &C
ton on the bonus ahead of the
tariff
A move 10 upset the program of
the republican majority calling for
action on the tariff was launched
by Sen. Walsh, democrat, Massa-
chusetts. who made a formal motion
that the bill be disF laced by the
bonus measure. Sen. Watson, re-
publican, Indiana, moved to lay this
motion on the table and his motion
prevailed, 81 TO %. Eight demo-
Gratis supported the Watson motion
and two republicans voted against
it. The roll call follows:
For the motion: Republican,

With the announcement of the

offered a motion that the bonus be

Sen. Underwood Alabama, the

cautions have been taken against
any interferences in the counting,

There Is one huge constituency in

new RADIO Use
MADE POSSIBLE.
BY INVENTION.
Marconi Announces Perfec-
ton of What Might Be Term
ed Radio Searchlight.
UTILIZED BY VESSELS
Wizard Says Beams Can Be
Flashed Distance of 100
Miles.

NEW YORK, June 2G.-(By A.
P.-Sen.. Guglielno Marconi, Won
der man of wireless, Tuesday night
announced the invention OF what
might be termed a radio search
light. by means of which radio
waves, which can be reflected like
light waves may be sent in a given
direction in a beam, instead OF be-
ing scattered 10 all points of the
compass. The famous Italian said
he believed this invention could be
utilized in such a manner as to rid
the sea of its terrors, for with a re-
volving reflector. the transmitter
would constitute a radio lighthouse,
capable of flashing guiding beams
nearly 100 miles.
Addressing a Joint meeting of the
Institute of Radio Engineers and
the American institute of Electrical
Engineers on his latest discoveries.
the inventor said Of the proposed
radio lighthouse:
1t Seems 10 me that it should be
possible to design apparatus by
means of which a ship could radiate
or project a divergent beam of the
short wave in any desired direction.
which rays if coming across a me-
tallic object, such as another steam
er. would be reflected back TO a re-
ceiver on the sending ship and there
by Immediately reveal the presence
and bearing Of the other ship la fog
or thick weather. One further great
a aHx ~ Of
ment would be that il would be able
10 give warning Of the presence and
bearing Of ships, even should these
be unprovided with any kind of ra
do"
Marconi's radio searchlight bears
little resemblance to the battleship
searchlight 1t is rather a special
arrangement Of wires on towers or
masts.
200 Times Louder.
Marconi stated that the reflectors
made it possible for the receiver TO
produce a radio telephone song or
speech about 200 times louder than
is ordinarily possible. What is
more, speech is transmitted practi-
Cally without distortion and the
transmitting aerial can be used both
for sending and receiving at the
same time
In these days Of broadcasting, it
may still prove to be useful to have
a practically new system which wili
be a very large degree secret when
compared with usual kind of radio, -
he added
Marconi expressed belief that in
the development Of radio communi-
cation the longer wave lengths have
so much absorbed the attention Of
inventors and engineers that the
trme has come to conduct research
in short wave length radio.
OF around the world wireless, he
said he had obtained results which
go far TO show the relative facility
with which radio signals can now be
sent from England to Australia and
seem to indicate that there is some
