commanded by Captain Gabreile D'Annunzio who refuses to evac
uate the city and permit Italy to put into operation the provisions
of the treaty of Rapallo. Despatches received here state that
military works along the line marking the frontier of the "regency

have shelled D'Annunzian batteries on the Island of Veglia,
southwest of Fiume.
TAKE RECESS
TILL
r
Fight on Emergency Tar
iff Bill Started in Sen
ate by Harrison.
Sending of Measure to
Committee Is Delayed
Until Next Week.
Washington, Dec. 23.—The senate and
house recessed Thursday for over Christ
mas. Both are to meet again Monday.
The first volley in the fight in the sen
ate against the house emergency tariff
bill was fired by Senator Harrison, Dem
ocrat. of Mississippi. When the measure
was transmitted from the house he first
demanded a roll call and then objected to
the usual custom of dispensing with its j
reading and thus delayed until next week i
the sending of the bill to committee. j
Senator McCuinber, Republican, North
Dakota, acting chairman of the finance
committee, said the bill would not be
taken up by that, committee next week.
He added, however, that no hearings
would be held.
Would Add Sugar.
An amendment adding sugar to. the list
of tariff protected products was intro
duced by Senator Gay. Louisiana. The
«mendircnt proposed a sliding tariff
scale sufficient to hold raw sugar to a
maximum uf eight cents a pound.
Compensation for injured seame,n and j
the ir dependents is proposed in a bill in- i
troduced by Senator Johnson. Republican '■
of California, in event of total disability j
a sailor would be allowed for life a
weekly coropc,nsation equal to 00 2-3 per
cent of his earning capacity, and for tem
porary disability he would receive a like
amount until able to resume work.
Death benefits.
In case of the death the beneficiaries
would receive premiums ranging from 30
per cent for the widow. 25 per cent for
a single child and 15 per cent for each
additional child, the rates being based on
the earnings of the deceased at the time
he was killed.
Fore'gn ships on which conditions were
below those set by the American mer
chant marine would be denied entrance
to American ports under a bill intro
duced by Chairman Jones of the senate
commerce committee.
I The measure would become effective
;»0 days after its passage and it is de
scribed as one "to promote and develop
the interests of the American merchaint
marine," In addition to other papers
now required by law, foreign vessels '
would be forced to carry permits issued
by the shipping board.
The institutes of Gaius. the founda
tion of Roman law, were almost entirely
lost, until discovered in 1810 under a
palimpsest.

> D'Annunzio has proclaimed that a
staff of war exists between his Fiume
and Italy and has forbidden the popula
tion of Fiume to leave the city, says a
Home dispatch to the Exchange Tele
graph quoting officials.
The Central News Rome correspond
ent adds that anyone speaking against
D'Annuinzio is liable to be shot. t
An attempt on the part of D'Annunzio
to seize control of the Montagna canal
running down the Dalmatian coast behind
a screen of low islands, has been foiled.
Men dispatched to northeast of Zara, to
a point which commands the southern
entrance to the canal, were forced to re
treat, some of them being captured and
others disarmed. D'Annunzio legionaires
who had been acting as garrison at Zara
are said to have fled from that city.
It is feared that D'Annunzio planned
to abandon Fiume and to land some
where along the Dalmatian coast where
he would raise the banner of revolt, hop
ing to create a situation which would nul
lify the treaty of liapailo. His scheme,
however, is said to have been frustrated
by government troops, who have pre
vented the departure from the city of
vessels loaded with legionaires.
CITY IS ISOLATED BY
CORDON OF CARBINIERS.
Rome, Dec. 22.—(By the Associated
Press).—Strang cordons of carbiniers
and Alpini, brigaded into probably a
score of battalions, have been thrown
around Fiume and have completely iso
lated the city by land. The Italian fleet,
which has its headquarters at Pola. is
scouring the gulf of Quarnero day and
night for D'Annunzio raiders and search
on the waters from twilight
(lights play
till dawn.
Following the issuance of orders to
establish a close blockade. General Cav
iglia. Italian commander, directed the
foreign citizens and civilians in Fiume be
given 48 hours to leave the city.
