commission refused relief, holding the
rule was designated to prevent rail-

shippers who owned private cars and
those who did not. The soap company

During todays rioting when 500
angry Italians marched through tho

POPULAR VOTE
FOR SENATORS

257 TO 80. n joint resolution providing
Tor an amendment 10 the constitution

senators by direct vote OF the people.
Ii already had passed the Senate,
and now goes TO the States for rauii
cation.
All that remains 10 be done is the
formal signing of the instrument and
the issuance OF "A proclamation TO the
States TO signify their wishes as TO
the proposed change.
The vote was preceded by bitter
fight, in which the Southern members
made common cause against the res
olution. Led by Congressman Bart
lett OF Georgia, the Georgia. Misslss-
irpi and Louisiana delegates strove
20 prevent its passage, because of the
Senate amendment, which gave the
federal government supervision of the
elections. They based their opposi-
ton almost entirely on the danger of
negro domination.
The first vote taken was on an
amendment by Bartlett which took
from the federal government all su'
nerv@ory powers. II was defeated by
a vote OF lS9 10 50.
On the vote for the adoption of the
resolution two-thirds of the House be
ing necessary, fifty Democrats desert

There was not a single Republican
vote against the resolution, which
was adopted TO the accompaniment of
thunderous applause.

AID is SOUGHT FOR INDIANS
Catawbas of South Carolina Have Al
ways Been Friendly to the
Whites.

In South Carolina Is the earliest
civilized tribe OF Indians in the United
States, and they are not the wards OF
the government. These are the Ca
tawbas, and they number approximate
1y 100.
State Senator w. II. Stewart, OF
South Carolina, is In Washington TO
confer with the congressional delega-
ton of that state with the view or
having these Indians placed on the
same basis as all other red men, and
st is probable that bill will shortly
be introduced TO this end.
TT Is strange, perhaps, that the Ca
tawba Indians, who have been wards
OF the state of South Carolina for
many years should never have receiv-
ed any recognition from the national
government" said Senator Stewart,
"'but It Is fact, nevertheless. The
Catavbas are the only American In
dians, so far as my knowledge goes,
that have always been friends OF the
white man. They never took the blood
of a white man, and during all the
the Indians the Catawbas remained
true. They were in what is now South
Carolina when the first whites reach.
ed that territory, and they have re-
mained there.
For a long time the Cherokees oc-
cupied the same territory. and there
was continual strife between the two
tribes, for the Cherokees were among
the most blo1dthirsty tribes on this
continent. In all the struggles the Ca
tawbas took sides with the settlers
against the Cherokees. The latter In
dams massacred many OF the settlers
In South Carolina.
The state government, after having
taken care of these Indians for so
many years. now is seeking to have
the national government make pro-
vision for them, so that they can. in
common with other Indians. have

come American citizens, which is on

CROWN PRINCE SHIRKS DUTY?

The article attacking the crown
prince for neglect OF military duties,
which is attracting great attention,
being reproduced in many leading
newspapers. appeared originally In
Der Tuermer, a monthly review, ac-
cording to a Berlin dispatch. 1t was
written by Herr Guenther Won Vie
brogge, retired officer.
The article observes that up to the
time when the kaiser appointed his
heir to the colonelcy OF the famous
Deaths Head hussars at Danzig last
September the crown prince had never
done any military service worth men,
tioning. It was hoped that the com
mand would at last fill the prince, in
whose veins the blood OF so many
warriors flowed, with genuine en-
thusiasm for the profession OF arms.
up to the present, however" con-
tinues the article, "the hopes aroused
by the transfer TO Danzig have re-
mained unfulfilled. The crown prince
is absent far too much on leave. In

CZAR AVERSE TO MONGOL WAR

IL is stated in high official circles
that Russia does not contemplate the
annexation Of Mongolia and does not
even desire TO see IL established as a
buffer state. On the contrary. Russia
feels that Chinese suzerainty Is best
for the Mongols. who are unaccus
toned 70 self government and are ig
norant OF statecraft.
For Russia 20 assist Mongolia in o
war for independence would be fool
ish. az IL would ALLEVIATE from the en-
pire the sympathies OF the young Chi
nese republic, antagonize the other
powers and necsssitate stronger meas
ures later on. Officials who have the
cars confidence say that should Chins
succeed in making an arrangement
whereby the Mongols would be satis
fed. Russia would not object TO Mon
golia's Joining the republic.
While the foregoing is undoubtedly
the Russian governments attitude. II
must be remembered that the Rus
sian press and the military party favor
ependent buffer state and criticiss the
