exact phraseology OF the Flood resolution
had been misinterpreted.
II was said that upon the advice OF
Senators Root OF New York and Lodge
Of Massachusetts the offensive designa
ton OF Victoriano Huerta as the apparent
sole object of the activities of the armies
and navy OF the United States might be
stricken from the resolution.
The Roof-Lodge suggestion was for the
elimination OF the personal reference and
the substitution therefor of an authorl-
zation to the Chief Executive to use the
armed forces of the United States In
Mexico for the protection OF American
lives and property. and to resent insults
to the nation and TO the flag.
When the Senate reassembled at ~ 10

Senator Lodge. who had voted with his
committee colleagues for the substitute

resolution in its original form. told the
Rhode Island Senator that the need for
speedy action upon the resolution was i'm
perative.

duty to the people OF the United States Is

Senator Lippitt was insistent upon his
objection. however. and explained that he
considered action at this hour and under
the present circumstances as altogether
too precipitate. Privately he explained
that his objection to present consideration
would be withdrawn II the Senate should
take recess until noon to-day.
Senator Lippitts suggestion was ac-

Big Crowd In Galleries.

The intermittent proceedings OF the SEN
ate attracted a large crowd and the gal
leries were well filled The fact that the
House and Senate could not act in coin
cidence provided the visitors with an OPP
portunity TO plod back and forth from one
end Of the Capitol TO another. and either
legislative body was thereby assured Of

Among the Senators present at a late
hour there seemed TO be a growing oppo-
sition to the form OF the resolution as II
passed the House. Many of the Senators
who are recognized authorities on interna-
tional procedure were bitter In their com
ments on the highly personal anti-Huerta
tenor of the resolution. They declared II

were made on the part of Democrats to
get together In order to assure immediate
action. Conferences were held on the
Democratic side in which Leader Kern
Senators Lewis. Shively. Simmons and
others engaged.
In order to avoid the operation OF an
objection to unanimous consent for the
present consideration of the resolution
Senator Shively moved that the Senate

Then Representative Gardner. n Re
publican. of Massachusetts, offered a sub
stitute resolution. materially altering the
form OF the measure as presented by the
Democrats. This resolution was:
Whereas n situation has arisen

1t may be necessary for the President
to employ hte armed forces OF the
United States to maintain the dignity
and respect for teh flag such en-

thorty is hereby authorized"
The Gardner amendment did not re-
ceive even the consideration of a viva
voce vote, II was howled down by ar
irate House.
The resolution sustaining the President
was offered by Representative Flood OF
Virginia. chairman of the Committee on
Foreign Affairs, Immediately after the
Presidents address.
The resolution was referred to the
Committee on Foreign Affairs and that
committee was at once assembled. II de-
veloped at the outset that the Flood reso-
luton was written at the White House

Republicans lost no time in indlcat ting
that the use OF the word Justified" in
the resolution was objectionable TO them

Chairman Flood was beginning to get
into deep water with Democrats as we'll
as Republican committeeman when he
sent summons for Secretary Bryan. who
had not yet lett the Capitol. Secretary
Bryan urged the committee to repor, the
resolution AZ introduced. asserting that IL
represented the wishes OF the Adm MIS-
tratlon in the matter.
Republicans stuhhornly fought the
adoption of the word Justified" but they
were ou;voted by their Democratic col
leagues. The committee adopted the rcso-
luton by vote OF 10 TO 2.
The two negative votes were cast by
Representative Bartholdt OF Missouri and
Representative Ainey OF Pennsylvania.
Republicans
Mr.. Bartholdt. who is an advocate OF
peace, said he opposed the resolution be-
cause in his opinion II would plunge
the country into war.
Mr.. Aney declared that he could not
bring himself to support the measure be-
cause he could not see that II would In
any way tend to restore peace in the
southern republic.
The fight was then transferred TO the
floor of the House. BY this time the
Democratic leaders knew that Republicans
were In an ugly frame OF mind II was
decided that unless the Republicans

quotations OF ~ cents per ounce.
Only two tons were received,

operating the mine under a bond

stated yesterday he will close down
the camp. Prevailing prices for
silver practically prohibits the prop
