Men for “Preparedness”- Brandegee & Spy Catcher (Special to the Herald.) Washington, July 3.—Members of the Connecticut delegation the house of representatives have voted for the Hay bill providing $2,000,000 for the relief of dependent families of national guardsmen who have been called to the colors for service connection with the Mexican crisis. One of the first men in congress to take up this proposition was Rep- resentative E. J. Hill, who ocalled at- tention to the subject very soon after the president’s call for the guard issued about two weeks ago. After the senate had rejected the first house propositon of $1,000,- 000 for the relief of dependent fam- ilies of national guardsmen mobilized into the federal service and when It was proposed to take care of the situation under a separate bill, instead of by amendment to the resolution authorizing the president to draft the militia for foreign service, Mr. Hill made a speech defending the original plan. N The latter part of the naval ap- propriation, as reported to the senate, contains the provision of special in- terest to New England: “The secretary of war and the sec- retary of the navy are authorized and directed to report to congress at the earliest possible date, not later than December 4, 1916: “First. Specific plans for improve- ment of the harbors and connecting channels which, in their judgment, will best provide adequate facilities for operations of the fleet for fense of the harbors of Portland, Maine; Boston, Massachusetts; Provi- dence, Rhode Island; New London, New Haven and Bridgeport, Connecti- cut; New York, New York: Norfolk, Virginia; Savannah and Brunswick, Georgia; Charleston, South Carolina; New Orleans, Louisiana; Galveston, Texas; San Diego and San Francisco, California; and Seattle, Washington. “Second. The feasible extensions requisite to make existing approved projects for improvement of the aforementioned harbors available for the purposes stated in the foregoing paragraph. “Third. The cost of each of such sev- eral improvements calculasd upon the basis of completion thereof under contract within five vears.” An’ amendment similar to proposed some time ago Brandegee of Connecticut Vote for Preparedness. Senators McLean and Brandegee of Connecticut voted for preparedness in the defense of the United States coasts when they cast their ballots «n favor of an authorization to purchase John Hays Hammond's wireless-controlled torpedo invention. They did that in effect when they voted against a stitute senate amendment merelv thorizing an investigation of the vention Both Connecticut senators voted in favor of Senator Weeks' motion to strike from the fortifications appro- priation bill a provision that the sy: tem of scientific systematic manage ment could be used 4n government ar- @enals In the manufacture of munitiong in in national was de- this was by Senator 1h- 1u- in- | result they’re just right—candy and gum all in one.

CHICLE AMERICAN CHICLE COMPANY for the government that are au- thorized in the bill. In the absence of Senator O'Gorman of New York ,chairman of the com- mittee on inter-oceanic canals, Sen- ator Brandegee, former chairman of | that committee had charge of passing | a bill authorizing the exclusion of | suspected persons from the canal zone with a view to insuring the Panama canal and its protecting fortifications | from spies and persons desiring to injure those great works. Against “Press Gag.” Senators Brandegee and McLean voted to strike from the post offic appropriation bill the so-called “pres provision, which authorize postmaster general to send any news. and periodicals whatever fast freight instead of by second class mail. The section was amended so as to allow publishers an appeal to the courts from the postmaster gen- eral's orders. The interstate commerce commis- sion has dismissed the complaint of | D. E. Mow Co. against the New Haven railroad. It involved a rate of 13 cents per 100 pounds charged on apples from New Hartford, Granhy ' and Simsbury, Conn., and Massachu- setts points to Milford, Ma The rate was not found by the commission to be either unreasonable or unjust- ly discriminatory. New Mail Service. The post office department has or- | dered established immediately and | for one year a new star mail service | from New Britain to Berlin Junction, | 12 trips a week each way.
