REJECTION OF

In the Senate to-day dtoclosei more
dellnltcly than any other Incident that
lias occurred the danger which Presi
dent Wilson l facing of having Louis D.

"Senator Moke Smith of Georgia, a mem

edged on the lloor of the Senate that
tbere never has been a tlmo as yet when

the nrarulcla nomination.
"I have voted to postpone the con

"because I have not reached the con

It lias been reported that the Judlrlarv

DEMOCRATIC 'RIDERS'
PROTESTED IN HOUSE
Republican Lenders Cluirre the
Majority With Throttling
Debate.
Wasiiinoton, April 2. Under a spe-
clal rule, which aroused the protests of
the Itepubllcati minority, the Hoime
paved the way to-day for attaching as
riders to tho pending agricultural ap
propriation measure the cotton futures,
the warehouse licensing and the grain
standardization bills. The first of these
was adopted as an amendment. The
other two will be probably added to the
measure to-morrow.
The minority leader charged the
Democrats with throttling debate aisJ
gagglim the House to add legislative
riders to appropriation bills. The move
of the majority is looked on aa pre
saging the adoption of drastic methods
to speed up legislation and force through
the House the Admltilwtratlon's pro
gramme. lUpresentatlve Lenroot of Wisconsin
laid the responsibility for the gag rule
at the doors of the Southern members.
I do not like to raise the cry of
sectionalism." ho said, "but to-day cot
ton Is king. You Democrat! are In the
saddle and you arc going to put through
tills rule to limit debate to serve your
own purposes. As a soil to the members
from the North and middle West you
arc thioning In this grain standardiza
tion bill. It Is only a nop and little
or nothing will be accomplished by It."
IteprescntatUo Harris retorted that
the Democrats in framing the rule had
been much more liberal than the Repub
licans bud been In their day by allowing
a c-rtaln amount of debate and oppor
tunity for amendment
"Yes." said Mr. Lenroot. "ami you re
member what hnvpened to them?"
The grain tamtnrdlzatlon and the
warehouse licensing bill", which have
passed one or both branches of Con
gress before, will be adopted to-morrow,
and the appropriation bill completed.
DEADLOCK ON ARMY BILL.
Conferees Cannot .arn-e on ano.OOO
Itrgulars.
Washington, April 25. Conferees
on the army bill have been deadlocked
over the proposed Increase of the regu
lar army to 2SO,O0n.
The failure to respond to the Gov-
eminent'. Invitation to enlist under tho
authorization by Congress of an Increase
of tho regular army to Its full legal
strength was cited to-day as an argil-1
ment that it is runic to try to raise an
army up to i'SO.OOO under present con
ditions, Tills was pointed out by Sn.i
tor Hughes at the time the Senate ,
adopted tho amendment to the army bill ,
In the Senate, and Senator Hughes, who
voted for the Increase, said It would be
of no Bvall unless Congress raised the
pay of the enlisted men. The Senator
offered an amendment to raise me pay
to 825 a month, but It failed.
The House conferees have stood out
against the proposed Increase and say
tha,t If Congress authorizes an army or
2u0,000 the strength will be a paper
strength simply and the recruiting under
present conditions will never succeed.
The Senate conferees have argued
that the amendments made by tho Sen
ate In the bill providing for vocational
training and the shortening of the term
of enlistment with the Inducements of
fered for reenllstment will stimulate In
terest It, Joining the army.
The outlook for an early ngreement on
the bill In conference Is far from promls-

$250,000 FOR PEACE PLEAS.

ts Bra Mrnt to Conarreaa.
Wasiiinoton. April 28. When the
telegraph companies began casting up
totals on the peace messages that have
flooded Congress this week they found
the figures staggering. To-day's esti
mate was that between 140.000 nnd
inO,000 would be the number. They nra
still coming In, though In decreasing
numbers.
The cost of this enterprise Is estimated
at 1250,000, This fact Impelled Senator
Hunting to s'iy ho would demand a
Senatorial Investigation of tho sources
of the funds.
In the final rush of the last two days
the senders abandoned day and night
letters and despatched many at stialght
commercial rates, some messages costing
14 or 85 each.
Coupled with the desire of Congress
men to-dn: to know whom tho money
came frum was the desire to know who
put the stop order on the telegrams.
It was reported that the original plan
had been to bombard Congress with
000,000 messages.
Just' before Senator Hunting sug
gestea a public in-ulry "sr. lY.ir.clsco
reported 10,000 telegrams on hand for
Washington; Milwaukee reported 5,000.
A few hours later the San Francisco
nnd Milwaukee ofllces repjrted that tho
telegrams had been ordered cuncclled by
tho senders.

Washinuton, April 2S Tho majority

donlug hope of overcoming the Tnm-
many Insurrection In their party rank (
over the Philippine Independence bill,,
practically decided to-day to leave the
fate of the bill In tho haul of tho'
House itself whether for good or 111 1
It Is the purpose of the majority i
leaders to bring up the hill on Monday
and dispose f It before tho close ofi
that day. To this end unanimous con-1
sent will be asked that n vote be taken.
If this Is not given a special rule prob-'
ably will be brought In limiting debate
and paving the way for a final decision
on tho fate of the measure without
delay.
Under ordinary circumstance a week
would be consumed In the consideration
of the bill. Tho ohvious purpose of the
Democrats to-night Is to make fchort
shrift of It.
It was generally admitted to-day that
the revolting Democrats with the aid of
the minority forces, controlled the par
liamentary situation and that tin) pro
posal, embodied in the Clarke amend
ment, to ghn tho Klllplnos Independence
within four years, would meet with de
feat. There was no disposition n the part
of the leaders even to attempt to pre
serve any part of the fabric of tlm bill
In accordance with the caucus decree.
Tho special rule. If It should bo brought
In, wilt leave tho House free to make

hope, however, that a measure of some

he believed In pre-paroliicss.
"Tho latest news Indicates," he said,
"that Hcrlln nnd Washington arc calmly

Mr. Wclsmann referred to the present

"I feel that Hermany nnd America

In spite of this sentiment he decrll

The women's section of the Movement

Mrs. Rates, ln declining the Invitation,
explained, that It had been voted on by
the national board of nine members und
the New York State committee of
twenty-live members, who decided to tie
dine on tho ground that the members
were not such as would bo appealed to
by the prospect of a street parade. Many
of the members belong fo tlm V. A. It,

that a scarcity of iitmtbrrH might give a
