pressure and legal defense, saved
him from being extradited from
Lansing, Mich, to serve out
sentence on the Georgia chain

SEA SPECIMENS
/, COLLECTED FOR
N. Y. AQUARIUM
HAMILTON KNOWLES Ex-
Poets TO BE READY TO
LEAVE KEY WEST WITH
LOT WITHIN TEN DAYS

Hamilton Knowles, representing
the New York aquarium, is gradu-
ally assembling collection of
wonderful specimens for the tanks
Of the institution and expects to
be ready within the next 10 days.
One Of the main objects of the
trip to the waters adjacent to Key
West at this time was to capture
a number Of octopi. OF these
there are six in the traps and 9TH
ers will be caught before the col
lection is considered complete.
A great deal of care must be
exercised in handling these cephal-
apods. Each must be placed in q
separate fish car. If two are
placed in the car the weaker will
soon cease to be. AS they are
difficult to capture every precau-
ton is taken to insure safety.
Other fine specimens now in the
collection are number of large
amberjack. Jewish and grouper.
also some smaller specimens that
are needed to complete the varie-
ties now in New York.
Mr.. Knowles plans to leave on
the Mallory boat due from Calves
ton on Friday, June 23. which
win arrive some time during that
night and sail for New York.
Tanks for the fish are here and
on the morning of the day the
boat Is to sail will be arranged on
the dock and filled with sea wa
ter. Pumps will be started and q
continual supply Of water MAIN
tanned.
Then the fish will be brought
up and placed in the tanks, an
operation which it is expected will
take from s to 10 hours. The
greatest care must be exercised in
these operations to avoid bruising
the specimens.
All viii then be in readiness for
the arrival Of the ship. Placing
the tanks on the deck brings about
another ticklish situation, but Mr..
Knowles has the details of this so
thoroughly worked out that the
whole series Of operations is ex-
pected to go through without any
mishap.

WASHINGTON, June 1A.-A
motion that senate accept the

lief compromise with an amend
ment providing for pensions for
Spanish-Americ war veterans as
proposed by President Roosevelt.
was put before the senate today
by Senator Byrnes, democrat, Of
South Carolina, an administration
spokesman.
Byrnes' motion brought to g.
clearcut Issue the impending fight
between the president and senate
over liberalizing effects of the

AS presented by Byrnes, the
amendment to the house adj
ministration compromise would
provide that Spanish-American
veterans, 55 or older, or fifty
per cent disabled, be paid PEN
sion at least of Sis monthly.
This would in substance pro-
vide by law, a promise contained
in letter from the president to
the house democratic steering
committee to take care of this
class of veterans by regulation.
Immediately as Byrnes made
his motion, Senator Steiwer, re-
publican, Of Oregon, co-author
with Senator Cutting. republican,
of New Mexico. of the substitute
for the Observation-Disclosures COM
promise, gave notice he would
seek to have the substitute
adopted.
After a parliamentary tangle
over precedence Of amendments,
the chair ruled Byrnes' new pro-
Iposal should be voted on first to
perfect the house compromise and
then a vote on the Cutting Stei-
wer substitute would be in or

In the meanwhile the house dis
agreed to the senate amendment
on the SO, 500, 900, 900 deficiency
