Washington, D. c., June 1S.-By a
vote of 90 to II the House of Repre-

Congressman Hollands resolution to
concur in the Senate amendment to

Chairman Padgett of the naval
committee made a motion to reject

Substitute motion was voted on first,
its defeat being equivalent to the
adoption of the Padgett motion.
Previous to this vote the House re-

upon may be reopened, and there is a

Not only can liquor be shipped to

SHOT AT AUTOMOBILE
German Ambassador Was Thought to
Be Speeding

Champagne, Ill.,, June 1S.-While
Count Won Bernstorff, the German
Ambassador. was on his way to the
University of Illinois yesterday to re-
ceive an honorary degree, shot was
fired at his automobile by police
Ghn.
Michael Murphy, the policeman,
was standing at the corner Of First
rtseet and University avenue as the
Ambassadors car sped by. Murphy
held up his hand as a warning The
chauffeur, however, disregarded the
signal, as the policeman was not in
uniform, AMI there appeared no cause
for hating.
Evidently angered at the failure to
obey his signal, Murphy fired at the
car, only a few yards away. The
bullet went wide and Murphy, did not
repeat the shot. 1t is alleged that
Murphy had been drinking, and that
for some time he has acted strangely.
AS soon as Mayor Debbins was
notified, he hurried to make an
apology to the Ambassador who
laughingly accepted the regrets. that
the incident had occurred.

Count Won Bernstorff requested
that no extreme steps be taken
against Murphy, and he left for Chi
