washington, D. G., May 2O-The
house eonferees came out victorious
in the conference yesterday afternoon
by securing adoption Of the houses
removal Of restrictions bill
Yesterday the house refused to con.
cur in the senate amendments, and
asked for a conference committee.
Congressman Sherman. Knapp and
Stephens were appointed by Speaker
Cannon as the house conferees. The
senate appointed clapp, Curtis and ow-
On.
Late yesterday afternoon Congress-
man McGuire's name was substituted
for that Of Knapp, and the conference
was held this afternoon.
The conference committee decided
70 report the bin as the house had it,
making half Indian blood the limit.
TO cut out the senate provision for
opening the rolls, placed ia at the In.
stance of Senator Owen. and other
minor changes that the senate com
mittee made.
It was a complete victory for the
house conferees and leaves the bin
substantially as it was passed May
a. There is no question about the
adoption Of the conference report in
both houses. Oklahoma democratic
members are much displeased at the
failure OF Speaker Cannon to place
Congressman Carter on the conference
committee. However. after Mcclure
had begged Knapp to resign so that
he could get on, It would have been
impossible for the speaker to appoint
Carter. as he would have made the
third conferee from Oklahoma
McGuire's efforts TO make political
capital out of his connection with the
! passage Of the bin Is nothing short Of
iudicrous He was not present al
half Of the conferences when the bin
was being originally drafted, and the
speaker did not name him as an orig
inal ,enferee. Only after begging
Knapp Of New York to resign yester
day did he manage TO get a place
on the committee.
Chairman Sherman of the house
Indian affairs committee stated thi:
evening thar he was much chagrinet
because Carter was not one Of the
conferees.

HAITIAN REFUGEES
DREAD AN ATTACK
French Minister Advises Resi-
dents in Legation to Arm
for SeIf-protection

PORT AU PRINCE, April 1.-The
spirit OF uncertainty and OF unrest still
prevails in Port au Prince The recent
abortive attempt at second uprising
here, in which General Larraque, chief
OF the cavalry, is said to be in
volved. has given the government
a cause for searching all quarters
of the city in the hope of finding others
it suspects of being involved.
The French minister to Haiti, NJ
carteron, has recently shown consid-
erable alarm concerning the action the
Haytian government may take against
the refugees now in the French lega-
tion.
Some of the refugees say that the
minister has advised them 10 procure
arms and be prepared to defend their
lives, as he was unable to guarantee
protection in the event of an attack
upon the legation by government
troops.
It is generally believed here that the
alarm Of the French minister is un-
founded Up to the present the govern
ment's attitude has been conciliatory,
and il seems TO be its intention not TO
ton.
There are rumors here that summary
executions continue in nearby country
districts. where there have been a large
number OF so called political prisoners
