TWO YEARS FiGHT IN ' CONGRESS ENDED Senate Accepts Conference Report on Scamen's Bill—Moasure Goes to Wilson. ‘Washington, Feb. 27.—The senate today accepted the conference report on the seamen’s bill, already adopted by the house, thus ending a two yecars’ fight in congress. The bill now gocs to the president. The measure raises the standards of labor for seamen and provides for Increased safety equipment on lake and ocean steamers. When Senator Hoke Smith entered the chamber and found the bill passed he declared he had been misinformed of the time of the vote and gave no- tice of . motion to recansider. Sen- ator Gallinger made the same com- plaint. A long parliamentary wrangle followed. Senator Smith’'s motion to recon- eider finally was tabled and the bill was prepared for the president’s sig- nature. RIGHTS OF CHIN/ Not to Be Infringed Upon By Japanesc Demands, Says Premier Okuma. Tokio, Feb. 27.—The Japancse pre- mier, Count Okuma, said today that Japan had no intention, in presenting its demand to the Chinese government of trespassing into the rights of China or interfering with the open door poli- cy. The desire of Japan, he said, was that China should attain the real dig- nity of independence and not fall the prey of any nation. Count’ Okuma's remarks were made to Prof. Shailer Mathews, of the University of Chica- go and Prof. Sydney I Gulick of New York as the: were taking leave of the premier. They sailed for San Francisco on the steam- ship Mongolia_ having completed their mission to Japan, under the auspices of the federal council of churches of Christ in America. In the judgment of the Japanese press, the work which they have done in fostering cordial relations between Japan and the Unit- ed States is of historic signficance and will prove to be most helpful in main- taining the friendship of the two na- tions. Count Okuma stated to Prof. Math- ty and prosperity of China not only were to the advantage of Japan but that they constituted the sole guaranty of peace in the orient. To secure this peace, he said, was the underlying mo- tive of Japanese diplomacy. Japan had no thoughf of infringing upon the rights of other nations, and accept- ance of her demands by 'China would involve no such infringement. INCREASES ITS CAPITAL.

Spever, head of the New York bank- ing house of Speyer & Co. made a statement before the inter- state commerce commission today of his firm’s dealings with the Rock Is- land tem during the period of its history under investigation. The firm never had occupied the po- sition of fiscal agent for the railroad, he said, ut, acting as a principal, had bought and resold between 1904 and 1912 securties'of the Rosk Island Rail- way company itself of some $170,409,- 000 face value. The total profit on those transactions, for his firm, Mr. Speyer said, was $1,438,143, or eight- tents of one per cent. Not all of the firm’s transactions in Rock Island securities had resulted in profits. Mr. Speyer added, saying: “I will not dis- close our losses since 1912 ‘for fear my friends will think I am noet a good banker.’ At no time, Mr. Speyer said had his firm handled any securities of the Rock Island holding companies organized by the Leeds.Reid group. He said he had been prompted to lappear be- fore the committee by a desire to know why the name of his firm had been brought into the inquiry. voluntary FAVORABLE REPORTS Made on Four Nominations for Fed- eral Trade Commission.

WATERBURY SUBURB VISITED BY POLICE Promiging Clues Said to Have Beca Unearthed in Brookiyn. “Patience, patience. This is a most difficult case and will take time.” So say the police working desperately to solve the mystery of the Zebris- Gilmanaitis murder. Clues in New being run down and now further clues of an important nature are being brought to light in Brooklyn, the suburb of Waterbury where Father Zebris was once pastor. In that place it was said last night that Rev. Peter Saurusaltis, the Lithuanian priest, and Joseph Baltruszajtis, a wealthy Lithuanian banker, have re- ceived letters warning them to re- frain form any activity in connection with solving the local mystery. It is now the belief of the police that the murderers of Fa- ther Zebris were sent from the Brooklyn section on the night of the tragedy by a powerful order located in the Lithuanian district. The po- lice are seeking four men, all Lithu- anians, who they belleve, after com- mitting the deed, remained over night at a boarding house in New Britain from where the police have traced them back to this city. That they are here in hiding is the belief of the po- lice. One Photograph Obtained. The police are at present hot upon their trail. Photographs of at least one of the alleged slayers has been obtained and shown to several promi- nent merchants of Brooklyn to make it possible for them to identify the fugitive if he ‘should venture into their stores. The Brooklyn section is being closely watched and the police and plainclothes men are searching and questioning every stranger of Lithuanian descent seen on the streets. Hot-Bed of Anarchists. “It's just a hot-bed of anarchists over here,” declared a prominent Brooklyn merchant last night, “and the sooner these societies are cleaned up the better for the town in gen- eral. There are clans of these Lith- uanians formed here under the name of socialists who would not stop at anything. Brooklyn merchants have been blackmailed frequently, but they never kick, they give in.” Lithuanian Is Searched. As an evidence of how closely Brooklyn is being watched, only Tues- day night, a Lithuanian claiming to to be from New Britain was promptly taken in charge of by one of the po- licc working on the case and brought into a store, where he v thoroughly searched. In the store the Lithuanian cried out, “I no Kkill him, I no Kill him.” No incriminating evidence was found on the Lithuanian and he was allowed to go. Afraid to Talk. Silence has settled over the Lith- uanian section and a stranger enter. ing one of their cafes or clubs is re~ garded with an air of .suspicion. The residents almost invariably refuse to converse on the murder of the New Britain pastor or any of the develop- ments in the case since the event. Those who do talk fear they may be harmed if their name comes out in the newspaper. If the clues which the police are at present working on stand fire for a short time the powerful chain of evi- dence which has been so successfully pieced together will be complete and the slayers may be brought to jus- tice.

Rome, Feb. 27.—Vehement attacks upon the government were made in the chamber of deputies yelterd&y_ by the extremists, because of instructions given prefects to prohibit meetings even when they are described as pri- vate, if there is reason to believe they would result in disorders. The order was designed to prevent clashes over the question of Italy’s neutrality. A tamult arose when the extremists de- clared the prohibition of such meet- ings was a suppression of liberty and in violation of the law. Premler Salamdra replied that In- structions to prefects were designed | to protect liberty, threatened by vio- lence; raise the dignity of the countr. and cement a moral unity which would lead to triumph. To the ex- tremists taunt that it was a plan to prevent ltaly's intervention in the war “I do not know whether our nation is destined to march to war but if this shall be the case we must all unani- mously obey the orders of the father- land and the king."” The premier eulogized Signor Mosti- | Trotti, the radical deputy who dled Itvering a speech. He said that every one must salute a man who dled in action and that Signor Mosti-Trotti had met death while performing his duty, with the name of his tountry on his lips. Bignor Mosti-Trotti was speaking in favor of the intervention of Italy in the war when he died. The premier’s remarks in this connection were re- ceived: by the deputies with an out- burst of applause. —Cz’ty_I?ems ‘A regular meeting of the trustees of the New Britain Institute will be held Monday evening.
