Willia, Robeson, colored, submitted to a charge ; of " forcible trespass . and i i T Congress Riled Over Holding : Up the. Mail from America; : (By George H. Manning.) Washington D. C, June 5. That Congress is "hopping mad" over the holding up by England of mail from , the United States to European neu tral nations was clearly shown to day when the House of Representa tives generously applauded the de claration of Congressman Ebenezer J. Hill of Connecticut that if he had his way he would turn the United States Navy into a mail-carrying line to Europe and deliver the mail from the mouth of a twelve inch gun if Eng land dared to demand it for censor ship. Mr. Hill wa$L advocating the pro-, vision in the Naval Appropriation bill of a bonus to encourage recruiting for the navy, stating that the United States, has a big navy on paper, but j in reality large number of ships tied up to docks for lack of sailors to man them. He declared that at the present rate of recruiting it will take over forty years to enlist enough men to man the ships we aireadv -have, and over thirty years to -enlist the army up to 175,000 provided in the army bill passed last week. "Last week," said Mr. Hill, "we passed a provision for paying 20 per cent; borfus record time. I" want to' give a bonus to the man. behind the gun, for he. is the man we must rely on to protect this nation. We shouldoffer a bonus and get the men and man every ship we have to full capacity. "I would immediately establish a battleship mail delivery line if I had my way. I am tired, everlastingly tired, of picking lip the morning newspaper ana finding that letters of business men in the United States sent from a neutral nation to a neu tral port, are taken into a belliger ent port and held up for three, four and five months. (Applause). "I would put all bur battleships into that service either as mail carriers or convoys to neutral ships carrying our mails under contract. I would have our ships carry mails to Norway, Sweden, Denmark and Holland out of New, York. And if any belligerent demanded a different delivery of this mail than we saw fit to give and at tempted to enforce that demand I would deliver those letters out of the mouth of a twelve inch gun. I do not believe it is consistent or dignified for this nation, to deliberately sit down and say we have no power in the matter. "If, as I believe, .absolutely uncon tested, acknowledged international law is being violated every day it is high time for s this nation not only to assert its rtghts but to maintain them at any cost." ; Mr. Hill's speech was greeted with applause from both Republicans and Democrats. paid the costs . George Lewis, color ed, paid the costs for an assault on a female. A. Owen, colored, was guilty of the same charge and paid the costs. A case against Tad Phillips, colored, charging him with disorderly conduct was nol prosed. Timothy. Ware, white, was, fined $5 and costs for an assault with a deadly weapon and ,George Guthrie, white, charged wjth disorderly : conduct was given an opportunity -paying the cost by Jttne 15 or leaving the city by that time if they are not paid or eise if he does stay in the city and not pay them by the given time he will be sent to the roads for 30 days.
