SENATOR'S READY
TO VOTE FOR IT
Democrats Willing to Cast For
tunes With Wilson and
Support Tariff Bill.

rITnited Press Leased Wire Servlce.l
WASHINGTON, April 23.-Staklng
their political fortunes on their loyal
ty to President Wilson and his tarlff
measure. the democrats in the senate
were today prepared to pass the VIII
son-IJnderwood tariff bill as 1t comes
from the house. Notice Of this was
given when the majority in the n
nance committee yesterday flatiy re-
fused hearings on the schedules,
though 1t gave Senator LaFollette the
service of an expert in order that he
might prepare an analysis of items to
which he will offer amendments on
the floor.
AS the senate majority leaders
viewed the situation today, the party
must stand or fall by the bill ap-
proved by the president and the party
majority in the house. They are
confident that they can bring all but
two or three members of their delega-
tion in the senate to approve the bill
in caucus. The exceptions are Sena-
tors Thornton and Ransdell OF LOUISE
ana. who will fight against free sugar
to the bitter end and possibly west
ern senator who opposes free wool.
When the house sends the bill to the
senate the democrats will call eau
Gus and pledge the majority members
to passage of the bill. incidentally, 1t
was stated today that efforts VIII be
made at that time to curtail the demo
cratic participation in the tariff de-
bate. The plan is to let the republi-
cans and progressives talk as much
as they desire, but let the bill stand
on its merits, and defended by as few
speeches from democrats as possible.
In this way. ii Is hoped to obtain
earlier action and adjournment by
July Is.

WASHINGTON, April 23.-Presi-
dent Wilson considers the Japanese
developments in California SO serious
that he has telegraphed Governor
Johnson and the legislative leaders
asking whether 1t will be acceptable
fer Secretary Of State Bryan to visit
Sacramento to counsel with the gov
ernor and the legislature and to CO.
operate in the framing Of law which
will meet the views of the Californians
and still not interfere with existing
treaties.
The telegram read as follows:
Governor Hiram Johnson.
Sacramento, Calf.
Thank you for your patriotic tele.
gram. We find it so difficult from
this distance to understand fully the
situation with regard to the senti
ment and circumstances lying back OF
the pending bill concerning the own
ership of land in the state that ]
venture to inquire whether it would
be agreeable to you and the legisla-
ture to have the secretary of state
visit Sacramento for the purpose Of
conferring with you and the members
sof the legislature, and cooperating
with you and them in the framing ot
law which would meet the views ol
the people Of the state, and yet leave
untouched international obligations o.
the United States.

There seems to be question abou

that the matter was one for the Stat,

DEFIANCE TO POWERS
Five Thousand Turks Killed

CBTTINJE, April 2s.-Scutari has
fallen. Montenegrin troops today are
In full possession OF the last of the
Ottoman strongholds In European
Turkey In triumph the victors ent-
cred the city early today, with latter
ed flags flying. and when they did,
they bade defiance to all the powers
OF Europe.
I'VE have merely retaken our own
and we will hold Scutan against the
powers as courageously as We fought
against the Turks" declared King
Nicholas, OF Montenegro, in the midst
of popular demonstration.
Scutari was taken after long siege
eliminating in two days of the most
desperate fighting OF modern times.
The surrender Of Essad Pasha, Tur-
kish commandant, was announced
after two hours Of hand to hand fight
ing with bayonets, during which both
Montenegrin and Turks lost heavily.
Approximately 1000 Montenegrins
fell in the last assault on Scutari and
4 five thousand Turks were killed. The
victors took 10000 prisoners.
!. Shortly after the formal surrender

Montenegro triumphantly rode into

nand at Adrianople and tie late King
George OF Greece at Salonika, achiev'
ing his cherished ambition. The talk
ing of Scutari by the Montenegrins
, was one of the most brilliant achieve
, ments Of the seven months Balkan
war. The credit for the feat belongs
, almost wholly to Montenegro. Servia
helped the Montenegrins for a while
and 1t was the Servian artillery that
, first weakened the Turkish fortified
city But the Servians, when the
powers became menacing. withdrew
from the siege, and the last assaults
were made by the soldiers OF King
Nicholas, himself unaided.
For two days and nights, without
J rest, the Montenegrins bombardet
Scutari and late yesterday they made
desperate assault on that city. AL
but two of the outer works of the
city were captured many days ago
, and when the besiegers stormed Sou
tari the last time. they made theil
rush on the city itself.
Essad Pasha's men, worn as they
were with the long struggle, never
the-less made valient defense. anG
rushed forward to meet the oncomfne

against the California bills.

A clrcumstantial story that Am
bassador Chinda had told the presi.
dent the Japanese government could
not control the people Of Japan and
would be forced into war, II the anti
alien land laws are enacted by Cali
fornia, was characterized by Secre-
tary Tumulty as utterly untrue. He
said that Ambassador Chinda did not
see the president yesterday and that
ct their last conference when they
discussed the question the feeling was
OF the friendliest kind The president
mas told the Japanese representative
that 1t Is his intention to do every.
thing in his power to protect the
rights OF friendly nation and it is be-
cause OF this position which he has
assumed that he is now endeavoring
to have California eliminate discrin-
nation from It's proposed law.
The Japanese embassy today de.
preciated the alarming stories that
the Nipponese were making threats OF
war in connection with the California
situation. Through his secretary, Sa-
burfo Okabe, Ambassador Chinda au-
thorized the statement that his coun-
try would not take measures of war
like retaliation against the United
States, even though California passes
an alien land law, aimed exclusively
at the Japanese.
He said tnat the better classes In
Japan were working to quiet the lingo
talk among the lower classes. Wis.
count Chinda said he had not seen
/ President Wilson for nearly a week.
i He said he will pay the customary
courtesty call on Secretary Bryan to-
morrow, Thursday being diplomatic
day" at the state department.
! Representative William Kettner
and Theodore A. Bell, of California,
both called on President Wilson and
discussed the Japanese situation with
him today. They displayed kilograms,
which they had received from legisla-
tive leaders in California, declaring that
1the present attempt to fore through
44anti-alien "a land legislation had behind
it motives of political character.
The suggestion was made to the
president that there was desire on
the part of Governor johnson and Ger
tain of the progressive leaders in
Sacramento to force President Wilson
to use the big stick" and thus force
/ California to back down. By doing sc
/ a condition paralelling that which de
yeloped during the Roosevelt admin

ATHLETICS
COST BIG MONEY
Profit Made in Football, But Re-
port Shows Ever Increasing
Deficit in Treasury.

PHILADELPHIA. Pa. Dec. 9. The
student body and followers of Pennsyl-
vania's athletics have hold of the facts
today in the annual report of the ath-
letic association, and are far from
pleased at the enormous expense en-
tailed. While football proved profitable,
there still remains too large a deficit.
At the annual meeting Of the Athletic
Association of Pennsylvania, last night,
the report of the treasurer for the year
ending September l, last, showed a de-
ficit of sS,4Se.Ss, which brings the total
Indebtedness up to s26,9451S.
The treasurer's report showed that
football was conducted at a profit of
So, ,092.01 in 1912. with total receipts of
s7SS3S. This last season the receipts
were ss0,Si3. but as the expenses, includ-
ing guarantees, were greater. the net
profits will not be greater than the pre-
vious year.
Baseball was conducted at a loss of
only 5000, which was less than the
preceding year. The total receips from
all sources footed up 10 SS2,24274, and as
the expenses were 500. 1878, the deficit
for the year was IS, 1879.
