DIPLOMATIC CLASH
OVER WARSHIP SALE
Issue Made on Present Tension
Between Turkey and Greece,
the Purchaser.
CONGRESS TAKES 4 HAND
President Hopes to Advance
Peace by DispOsing Of Anti
quated Naval Vessels.

WAsHiNoroN, June ga lively diplo-
matte controversy has been precipitated by
the decision of the Wilson Administrati ton
to urge the sale of the antiauated battle
ships Idaho and Mississippi TO the Grecian
Government. Interest in the proposed sale
lies In the tension now existing between
Turkey and Greece.
Charge d'Anaires Voorhls OF the Greek
Legation called on President Wilson this
afternoon presumably TO present Com
mander Tsouklas. the new naval attache.
In reality Ire laid before the President the
arguments of his Government for the i'm
mediate contamination. of the sale OF the
two battleshaps.
Hardly had the Greek Charge depa rted
from the white House when the President
received in the Blue Room the new
Turkish Ambassador. Rustem Bey, who
called with his predecessor to present his
credentials. The Ambassador took the
occasion To make a protest against the
sale OF the battleshps TO Greece.
Earlier in the day the President ad.
mitted TO callers that he had approved
Secretary Danelss recommendation &c
Congress for the sale OF the two ships In
order that a new superdreadnought nigh,
be built with the proceeds. The price &c
be agreed upon is the original cost OF con
struction of the ships. which 1t is declared
would make an extremely fortunate bar.
gain for the United States
In consequence OF Secretary Danicls's
recommendation the Senate inserted an
amendment in the naval appropriation bill
authorizing the sale. The House refused
to accept this amendment when the bill
came out OF conference last week and
sent the bill back with instructions to It's
conferees to report their attitude to the
Senate representatives
The last few days has seen "A renewal OF
activity of the House leaders In support

viso Vetoed by Taft on
His Last Day.
ATTACK BY REPUBLICANS
Clause FOrbidS Use of $500. 600
Appropriation to Prosecute
Labor Organizations.

WAsHrNGroN. June 22-By a vote Of
100 to the Democratic House again went
on record tonight in favor OF legislation
exempting labor unions from prosecution
under the antitrust laws. The issue was
presented on this occasion by provision
in the sundry civil bill forbldding the At.
torney-General to use for prosecution OF
labor unions and voluntary associations OF
farmers an appropriation OF 100000 al
lowed for proceedings Instituted in the
courts under the Sherman antitrust act.
1t was this very provision that prompted
President Taft to veto the sundry civil
act of 1913 on the last day of his ad-
ministration.
The same bill with the same provision
was later approved by President Wilson.
who issued statement at the time that
his signature to the measure did not com
init him to the principle.
The exemption clause. which was Bit
terly assailed by the Republicans led by
Representatives Graham and Moore Of
Pennsylvania. appropriates $500, for
the enforcement OF the antitrust laws. Ii
contains two provisos. one reading
THAT no part of this money shall be
spent In the prosecution OF any organiza-
ton or individual for entering into any
combination or agreement having In view
the increasing OF wages. shortening of
hours or lettering the conditions Of labor,
or for any act done In furtheranee thereof.

The second provso IN similar language
eNempts from prosecution producers of
farm products and associations OF farmers
who cooperate and organize in an effor,
to obtain and maintain "A fair and rea-
sonable price for their products
Representatives Moore and Graham de-
nOunced the legislation as vicious. and
declared II WAS an effort on the part OF
Democrats to make political capital by
conveying the impression that they were
attempting to make labor privileged
class. Mr.. Graham rdiculed the labor
proviso He quoted the concluding clause
of the provise. reading mot in itself un-
lawful"
With biting irony he insisted that the
Democratic House found itself called upon
to restrain the Democratic Attorney-Gen'
eral from prosecuting honest people who
had committed no unlawful acts
III that be not your reason he eN-
claimed. why do YOU pass proNiso di-
recting that there shall he no prosecution

Representative Moore aroused IN, Pro.
grcssives by bringing the name Of Theo-
dore Roosevelt into the discussion Mi
Moore insisted that Mr.. Roosevelt was op-
posed TO the principle OF exempting any
class from prosecution under the Laws.

IS ROASTED ALIVE
WITH HIS HEAD FREE
BODY JAMMED INTO APERTURE
TOO SMALL TO ADMIT PASSAGE
TO SAFETY.

Portland, Or, May 11.-With his
head and one hand thrust through u
small window into the open air, unable
to squeeze his body through the mar
row aperture, Willie Finckelstein, IS
years old, was roasted alive in a fire
which gutted the grocery stere of A.
Boxer in South Portland today. The
boy was alone in the store. Suddenly
it burst into flames.
How the fire started or what made it
spread so quickly is not known. Find
ing his escape cut off, the boy rushed
to the basement, reached a small win
dow that opened out into a little hole
in the ground After getting his head
and a hand through, he could proceed
no further. His body, badly burned
was found in that position by Fire
Captain Riley. When extricated life
was extinct.
