SENATEFORTA TARIFF
FIRST, TEST VOTE INDICATES
THAT WILSON MEASURE will
PASS BEFORE JULY.
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
Poindexter Votes with Majority ana
Wool Senators Fall in Line
Measure Will Probably be re
ported Out of Committee by July.

Washington, May 17..-.Presldeht
Wilson has control of the situation Ill
the Senate and the way seems TO De
opening for victory on his tarll
programme.
This is the Interpretation put on
the first test vote on the underwood
bill, which came up.
By a division of Al to 80 the Sen
ate refused to hold public hearings
and thus sustained the Wilson lead
ers in the upper branch. The measure
will be reported out of committee De-
fore July.
Two Democrats left the party reser-
walton. They are .Ransdell and morn
ton of Louisiana, who are expected 10
vote against the tariff bill on its hnal
passage and who probably Will sup
port the Republicans on the bllls I'M
portant issues.
The Democratic forces in the Sen
ate were recruited by one vote, that
of Senator Poindexter of Washington,
the only avowed third party man in
the Senate.
Not only was this vote conclusive
evidence of the disintegration, of the
Democratic opposition to the Wilson
programme, but developments in the
course of the debate indicated that
he two Louisiana Senators are likely
to be the only ones who will desert
the Democratic camp.
Senator Walsh, of Montana, VINO
has been one of the leaders OF the
Democratic insurgent movement on
free wool and free sugar and who has
been classed as doubtful, declared
that he intended to stand by the party
programme. Senator Newlands, of Ne
ada, another of the Democratic IN
sIrgent leaders, while reiterating his
opposition to many features of the
bill, failed to say fatty he would vote
against it. The impression is that ne
is weakening.
These statements by Senators
Walsh and Newlands mean that the
other Western Senators who have
been wavering are headed for the VIII
son band wagon.

cilities in Cincinnati for week as
sumed serious proportions when the
entire city police force, together with
all reserves, was called upon to quell
the rioting of 10000 strikers assem-.
bled on Main street. Cordons OF
mounted police charged the strikers
with drawn revolvers and threats to
shoot unless order was restored.
Of the four car lines which attempt
ed to operate only one was able to
maintain anything like normal ser
vice and passengers were few and far
between, owing to the treatening at
titude of the mob. A car loaded with
police and strikebreakers was stopped
by the strikers.
The riot started when a strike
breaker struck Charles Gibbs, a lad
of sixteen, on the head with a club.
Within fifteen minutes 10000 persons
had gathered in Fountain square.

cars and a few shots were fired.

rescue. Auto patrols loaded to the
guards with officers, policemen on foot
and detectives headed for the mob,
which sullenly gave way before the
pJf aa1y
mob was dispersed.
More than a dozen men and boys
were injured and twenty-six rioters
were arrested.
Strikers and sympathizers-women
and men alike-held the greatest
demonstration in the history Of or.
ganized labor in Cincinnati. A pa.
rade in which there were fully 10000
persons in line was followed by mass
meeting at Redland Field. The affair
was an expression Of the approval of
the fight of the traction company's EN-.
ployes for higher wages, better hours

Four Victims Were Residents OF
New York State, TWO from Troy.

. Ithaca, N. Y, May 19.-The waters
of Cayuga Lake have claimed four
more victims from the Cornell student
body. The university authorities after
fruitless all-day search and after
finding an upturned canoe, two pad
dies and couple of cushions floating
on the surface of the lake, conceded
that the following students had lost
their lives:
BAILEY, BRAINARD, Troy, soph-
omore in the College of Law and mem
Der of the Board of Editors of the Cor
nell Daily Sun.
MALLETT, MISS MARY CORNE-

MCCORMICK, MISS MARTHA, of
Troy, a sophomore in the College of
Arts and Sciences.
ZIMMER, REINHART c., Roches-
ter, sophomore in the College of Me-
chanical Engineering.
The accident must have occurred
shortly after o'clock p. m, when the
four put off in a canoe from c. b.
Stanion's cottage at Willow Point.
The girls had gone there to attend a
house party of the Kappa Gamma fra
ternity, of which they were members.
Bailey and thinner went down to call
and spend the evening. They put OFF
from the cottage, and the last seen of
them was as the canoe glided out into
the darkness.
Boatmen say the water was the
worst of the year, it being icy cold.
Even the strongest swimmer could not
live for long in it, and men trying to
hold women up could not stay above
water more than few seconds.
There must have been short strug-
gle and then the four, already chilled
through, must have gone down. No
outcries were heard on the shore.
