Humphrey Decarcs in House Japan Will Reseat Action. ‘Washington, Aug. 28.—In the course of the debate in the House yesterday on the seaman’s bill, Which was passed without the formality of & roll call, the suggestion was made republican leaders that the epact- ment of the measure into law at this time may lead to trouble with one or another of the belligerent .powers of Europe. It was further suggested by & republican member from the Pa- cific coast that if the bill became a law in the form in which it passed the House ‘“‘we will have war with *“Japan in thirty ‘days.” Despite these alarmist views not even the men who uttered them asked for a roll call when the bill was called up on its final passage. Demo- crats scoff at the suggestion that the proposed seaman’s law has anything in it that will be likely to lead to serious international complications. e Increases Opu-tlon Cost. However, it is-admitted by dem>- cratic leaders that the seaman's bill will increase the cost of operation of vessels in the coastwise and foreign trade. It provides for better wages, imposes retrictions that are bound to prove “expenstve to owners and re- quires. the.-installation of safety ap- paratus of all kinds on a much more *Yelaborate scale than now obtains. Complaint {8 now made that the democratic administration should not give countenance to such a bill at a time when the United States finds it- self practically unable to find ships to transport its products Yo forelgn mar- kets. Jy'ts pointed out that:the-demo- .+ crats. having Jjust .passed emergency - legislation designed. to decrease the cost _of . operating vesséls under. the American flag have now, in respanse to the.demands of .labor. unions, put through a bfll adding further expenscs. Passed Senate a Year Ago. The seaman’s bill, in.a more drastic tform, passed ‘the senate a year ago. It was brought out of committee.and passed by the House upon the insjst- ence of corganized labor. In order to frustrate efforts made by organjzed labor to _strengthen the restrictive features of the measures the leaders were ‘obliged to bring it in under con- ditions that prohibited the offering of amendments. o b Section 16 of the bill is the provi- v‘sion that critics of the measure fear may 1éad to international complica- tions. In the bill arrest as a punish- ment for désertion is abolished. This applies to foreign as well ae American seamen, and section 18 provides that nineéty days after the passage of the act the President shall give notice of Intention on the part of the United States to terminate all treaties and Yeonventions' in:so far as they provide for the arrest and imprisonment of American seamen who!desert in for- eign countries and forelgn seamen who desert in the United Stats. The bill also’ provides that upon the end of a voyage a, seaman, either American or foreign, shall have the right to de- mand half of the wages due him, and if refused, in the case of a foreign vessel, sue for the compensation due him in an admiralty court. Critics of the bill declare that the enforcement of the provisions relating to desertion and the payment of wages and the direction given by congress to the President to terminate all con- ventions inconsistent with the law in these regards may give serious offence to some belligerent power or at least involve the United States in an inter- national controversy at a time when all such trouble could be avoided. Mann Opposes Bill. Representative Mann, the republi- can leader, yesterday made a speech on the seaman’s bill in which he ex- pressed doubt as to the wisdom of passing the measure at this time. He said that this was a time in which the United States should proceed slowly in making enactments affecting for- elgn countries. He was wildly ap- plauded, as he declared at this stage in the world’s affairs it yas the duty of the United States to preserve ‘‘civil- ization.” Mr. Mann adressed himself par- ticularly to the provisions of the bill affecting the treaty obligations of the United States on shipping questions, “The only thing that concerns me,” sald Mr. Mann, “is to keep the United States at peace with the world. I fear that some of the warring nations may look askance upon the growth of the business in this country at the expense of foreign countries and some of them may think that we are passing this bill now with the provision in it that I have mentioned because they are un- able to protect themselves. If we keep our heads, if we keep cool, if we do not become hysterical, if we keep non- partisan in the war that is now golug on, the prosperity of the world will fall largely in our laps; and the civil- ization of the’ world depends upon the attitude which the United States of America takes in the present con- test; we must preserve our temper dnd preserve the ctvilizsation which has come down to us.” . War With Japa. Representative Humphreys of Wash- ington, republican, who was opposed to the section of the bill imposing re- strictions regarding crews of steam- ers, predicted that if the measure be- came a law it would lead to a war with Japan. “The bill, so far as it protects lives and cares for seaman’s comfort, is a splendid measure, but the provision which relatés to the crews of foreign vessels entering our ports will get us into difficulties,” ‘said Mr. Humphreys. “The section was written for the pur- pose of getting rid of Chinese crews, but it will have the effect of turning the Pacific Mailf Steamship Company vessels into Japanese ships, flying the Japanese flag.” Mr. Humphreys said that if Japan failed to comply Wwith some of the pro- visions of the bill the United States would be compelled to hold Japan- ese vessels. “No self-respecting nation wouldl countenance such action,” sald Mr. Humphreys. “I predict that if the bill is enacted into law in its present form we will have war with Japan in thirty days.” The seaman’s bill now goes to con- ference. It will be closely scrutinized by the administration before it is per- mitted to become a law.

The work of disembarkation is proceeding with smoothness and precision. Sightscers Throng Approaches, Meanwhile the approaches to the station are thronged with sightseers and citizens, who express regret that the marines were not janded sooner. The British officers declare they did not land sooner because of ob- Jections by the local authorities, who held a meeting in the town hall, where several prominent local offi- cials objected to the British landing on the ground that 1t would frighten the hotel visitors. The fighting at Snaeskerke on Tuesday changed the minds of these objectors, and the city fathers did forthwith ask and the British government sent marines. a Threaten Tournai Burgomaster.

For the past fifteen vears Mr. Raw- 1ins had been an ardent enthusiast in the game which caused his death, If he had been able to devote more time | to the sport, experts say, he woula have had few equals in this country. Next to Harry Payne Whitney he was, perhaps, the chief promoter of the in- ternational matches. He was a close friend of Mr. Whitney. Mr. Rawlins was born in 1871 in London, England, where his parents, Major and Mrs, Henry Rawlins, still live, He has two brothers in this country, Herbert N, Rawiins of 135 East Sixty-ninth street, and G.

Heat a Menace to Lives of 0ld F Sickness and Misery Result From Clogged Bowels in Hot Weather. People advancing in years should be very careful of their health during the hot months, as heat has a very enervating and weakening effect on them. One has only to look at the daily list of fatalities to elderly peo- ple reported by the papers to realize that these are the hardest months for them to overcome, The easily digested foods should be caten, and then only sparingly, and alcoholic beverages and iced things should be avoided as much as possi- ble. Exercise should be taken daily in the shade. Most important of all in the maintenance of health and vig- or at this time is to avoid constipa- tion, with its accompanying head- aches and muscular and blood con- gestion. This is accomplished by the timely use of a gentle laxative like Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin. It is the ideal laxative for elderly people, as it is mild, tastes pleasant and does not gripe. Best of all, it contains valu- able toniec properties that build up and strengthen the system. Blderly people should avold strong physics, cathartics, purgatives, salts and pills, as they are a shock lo the system. In the opinion of reliable people like Mrs. C. J.
