ing for a more rigid physical eXami-
nation. Campl was declared 10 be in
perfect condition.
Williams was told that he had a
slight stomach disorder, but that It
was nothing that would affect him in
the least.
Williams is best described as n
heavyweight cut down to bantam size.
He possesses the stamina and bulldog
aggressive spirit of Battling Nelson
when the great Dane was in his
prime. Also he has the "wallop", his
record being featured with Al knock
outs.
Campi and Williams met one year
ago in this same ring. For y rounds

the way. Campis strength then be-
gan to fail him while Williams came
out stronger than ever and piled up
such lead in the final six or seven
rounds that he decisively won the
award.
Eddie now figures that he has the
strength TO go the full % rounds at
top speed IL necessary and that with
his science he will outpoint Williams
deciSively.

FRIENDS OF BlRDS-W
In SENATE CONTEST
By Vote of 45 to ", $4,000 d
Provided to Enforce MI
gratory Law.

The Senate yesterday. by vote Of Is
to II. rejected an amendment to the asri-
cultural appropriation bill reported from
the Senate Committee on Agriculture. re-
ducing the proposed appropriation in the
bill as II passed the House from $4,000 to
$1,000 for enforcing the migratory bird
law. The effect of the vote was to re-
store the House appropriation of $4,000.
Later Senator Gore. chairman of the
Senate Committee on Agriculture. made
a ferveDt appeal to the Senate to make
the appropriation $4,000 instead of $4,000.
But his proposed amendment was rejected
by a vote of 81 to 10.
Senators were deluged with kilograms
from the Audubon societies, the Ameri-
can Game and Bird Protective Associa-
tions. and other societies interested in
protecting migratory and insectfverous
birds. The agricultural bill was before
the Senate for about three hours and the
debate at times was sharp. Senator Reed,
of Missouri. denounced William T. Horn
aday for his activities in lobbying for
the larger appropriation to enforce the
bird law.
The Senate has been swept OF its
feet by a storm of kilograms all from
the same source and that an irrespon-
sible source" said senator Reed

HOME RULE BILL WILL
PASS IN PRESENT FORM
Violent Scene in Commons as Premier
Asquith Announces Govern
ment Plans.

Special Cable to The Washington Herald.
London, May 12--There was a violent
scene in the House of Commons tonighr
following Premier Asquith's announce
ment of the governments plan in regard
to home rule. The premier said. in effect,
that the government intends. that the
bill. as i. stands, shall be placed upon
the statute books. 1t then is planned
to introduce an amending bill. which will
embody the premier's suggestion for the
temporary and optional exclusion Of the
Ulster counties.
Arthur ]. Balfour bitterly criticised
this proposal. declaring that the gov
ernment was asking the house to pass
a measure which was admittedly defect
i've, and which II is confessed must be
amended before ii could be of service
Lloyd-George angrily retorted that the
government was not dissatisfied with the
bill, but was only striving for peace. IF
every effort made by the government is
treated in this spirit" he added, civil
war will be promoted" .-.
This caused great uproar among the
opposition and yells of withdraw"
cad" lies" and nonsense" echoed
in the rafters of the house. Balfour.

fierce but inaudible denials to the chan
ceiior and the speaker banged his gavel

Incidentally, there were few who sat
around the wall and watched the dane

enjoy himself: there was Carl Halves
Buttman, who amuses himself by telling
the magazines about the new collections
at the Smithsonian Institute; Howard Ac-
ton, the newspaper scribe; L. Stoddard
Taylor, who believes in uplifting the
drama and manages a theater for recrea-
ton; NJ. T. Kahn, of the club council:
James Bready, the well-known social ex-
pert, one reporter and two brunette mu-
sicians. who We're on speaking terms with

Those who failed to show up for the

morning. including Cliff Bergman. the
who sent his regrets in pic

trouble.

bated the merits of the Avis bad check
bill pending in tic House at its monthly
meeting last night. At the last meeting
1t went on record as opposed to il. be-
cause 1t did not distinguish between cases
involving and not involving guilty intent.
Business men, who were not at that
meeting made a motion to reconsider. and.
after a parliamentary skirmish. President
William F. GUIDE allowed a reopening Of
the discussion.
The body again went on record against
the measure. as drawn. and a special
committee will be appointed to draft an
other to be introduced as the chambers
own bill.
Senator Butler, of North Carolina.
closed the debate for the antis. The bill
introduced by Representative Avis, of
West Virginia. would give the maker of
a bad check twenty days to make good.
but this, the chamber concluded. would
not relieve the drawer Of the stigma of
crime under the wording of the bill
Richard p. Andrews. chairman of the
entertainment committee. proposed three
itineraries for an outing for the chamber
the coming summer. The members voted
in favor of a day trip down the Potomac
in June or July. with night and day
between Old Point Comfort, Norfolk and
Cape Henry. The date will be announced
later.

ton in Congress went over until the first

There were 100 members of the order

and 1t was obviously necessary to refuse
to let the lighthouse keeper practically
destroy this important aid to navigation.
The commander of the Tanning, wish
ing as an act of courtesy to the light
house keeper and to save him possible
serious consequences for his desertion of
his post. gave him a certificate that he
was In no wise to blame for his failure
TO bring the parts OF the working ma
chinery with him which he was directed
to leave behind.
The department is not advised of the
exact wording of this certificate, but its
intent Is perfectly obvious, and II is in
no way to be construed as a certificate
that the naval forces had seized the
island. but only that the commanding on
Ger of the Tanning had deemed 1t his
duty to insist that the necessary ma
chinery for operating the light was left
behind by the keeper. Further informa-
tion has been requested. and the misun-
will be explained to the medi-

PRESIDENT CONfERS
WITH USHAUGHNESSY
Mexican Situation Fully Discussed
During Hours Talk at the
White House.
HUERTXs REIGN NEARING END

President Wilson conferred with Nelson
IO'shaughnessy. charge of the American
Embassy at Mexico City. for an hour last
night. 1t was the first time he had seen
Mr.. Oshaushnessy since the latter was
handed his passports by the Mexican sec
retary of foreign affairs. The interview
war described as q pleasant hours con-
versation. and It was indicated that the
President did an much Of the talking as
his visitor,
Authoritative denial was made last
night that Mr.. O'shaughnessy had re-
turned from Mexico nursing dIssatisfac-
ton with the Wilson administration, as
did former Ambassador Henry Lane
Wilson.
Mr.. OShaughnessy was questioned by
the President with regard to the person.
alities of Huerta and other dominating
figures in Mexico. and information was
given filling In that which the President
has gathered from other sources. No
effort was made by the diplomatic ofi1cer
to convince the President that definite
changes from the present policy are
necessary, nor was there any evidence
from his conversation that he regarded
himself as anything other than sub
ordinate reporting to his superior.
Mr.. O'Shaughnessy, 1t is understood
did not, however, conceal the conviction
that the reports emanating from Vera
Cruz and Mexico City that Gen. Huerta
is preparing to relinquish the Provisional
Presidency and fee to Europe are
groundless. His belief is that the die
tator will fight to the last and give in
only when forced to do SO.
1t was learned tonight that Mr..
O'Shaughnessy's personal belief Is that II
is altogether possible for the United
States to unite the various factions in
Mexico under a stable government. pro-
vided this government will take the re-
sponsibility and trouble of executing the
task.
Officially. Mr.. O'Shaughnessy will re-
main first secretary and charge of the
Embassy at Mexico City and will con-
tinue to draw the salary for that post,

Rag5dale charged the President with bad
faith on this proposition. He said that
Mr.. Wilson had promised when the Fed

credit measure would be passed at this
session.
The President could not agree with
the subcommittee that has drafted
rural credit bill, so he telephoned to
the Capitol, saying that the program
may be adopted without a rural credit
bill. Thai absolutely precludes this
House passing this important legislation
which was promised by the President and
