CFrom a Staff Correspondent


WASHINGTON. June H.-(Special Tee-
gram)-Due largely to the efforts put
forth by Congressman Pollard and Ken
nedy the senate today passed the militia
bill, carrying 100000. After the request
Of Adjutant General Culver had been
received to aid wherever possible in pas
sage of the bill, the congressman, through
Senator Milard had conference with
Senator Hopkins of Illinois, who had the
bill passed Just as soon as he got a chance
in the senate.
Speaker Cannon, it is understood, is
against the bill, while General Morrell is
in favor of the measure 1t was thought
that IL the bill passed the senate it would
take a position on the house calendar
As 1t carries an appropriation, however,
it will probably be referred to the appro-
priations comittee. in which event the out
look for the bill at this season is exceed
ingly slim.
