Senators Hope to Win
Fight to Shield District
From Provisions in Bill

The Senate conferees on the District
appropriation bill are hopeful that
eventually the Senate will succeed in
winning its contention for the Senate
amendments to the bill remaining in
eispute. 1t is confidently asserted that
She Senate will stand firm in opposition
10 the Page amendment of the House
bill covering into the federal treasury
all revenues of the District in excess
of current appropriations. and also will
refuse to agree to the Borland amend
ment relating to the paving of streets
Three amendments for school buildings
are still in dispute, as follows: Thirty
three thousand dollars for addition to
the John F. Cook School. s66. 600 for an
addition to the Powell School, and $4,000
for a site for a new school building In thu

street.
Provides Free Tuition.

Another item relating to the schools
still in dispute is that providing for free
tuition of pupils whose parents are en-
ployed officially or otherwise in the Dis
trict, whether they live outside of the
District or not.
The Senate amendment providing that
the District government shall not pay
more than 10 cents thousand feet for
gas used in any public building here
is considered as an entering wedge to-
ward a further reduction of the price
of gas in the District to all consumers.
The provision of the bill prohibiting
the solicitation of funds or subscrip-
tions on school premises has been modi-
fed so that 1t will not interfere with
the collection of subscriptions for
school Fairgrounds or school publica-
tions.

STEAMSHIPS COLLIDE
IN DENSE FOG AT SEA
Liner Pretoria Strikes the New York
Glancing Blow, But Damage
Is Not Serious.
BOARD STEAMSHIP NEv

ON BOARD STEAMSHIP NEW
YORK, June 13 Wia Siasconsett, Mass.
June 13).-While the American liner
New York. westbound. was motionless in
a heavy fog four hundred miles east of
Ambrose lightship, early today, the
Hamburg American liner Pretoria, bound
east, ran into her and ripped hole
twelve feet high and thirty-two feet
long in her port side.
The hole is flush with he main deck
and Is fifteen feet above the water line.
So great was the force of the collision
that the Pretoria's anchor was torn from
her bow and left hanging inside the gap
that had been torn in the New York.
Practically all of the passengers on both
ships were asleep.
Immediately after he collision the en-
gines of both ships were ordered full
speed astern and passengers came hur-
rying to the decks. The passengers of
the New York were able to reach over
and touch the bow of the Pretoria as
she pulled away from her dangerous po-
sition There was no panic. Capt. Rob
erts and Chief Officer Turner were both
on the bridge at the time of the col
lision They assured the frightened
passengers, many of whom hurried to
the starboard side of the ship antici-
pating a list to port. that there was no
danger. Members of the crew also went
among the passengers and urged them
to be calm.
Fog Sirens Blown.
Upon the orders of Capt Roberts the
bulkheads of the New York were closed
at 1852 o'clock this morning because Of
the density of the fog. This was about
ten minutes before the collision. During
this period the Pretoria replied con-
stantly to fog sirens blown by the New
York. -
Capt Roberts blew two long blasts re-
peatedly for five minutes prior to the
collision. These whistles indicated that
the New York had stopped. Suddenly
there was a crash succeeded by a sharp
tearing sound as the steel plates and
tered by the Pretoria's sharp bow.
Fortunately the watch which occupied
the quarters behind that part of the ship
which was crushed in was on duty in
the stoke hold. Had the collision oc-
Cured while this watch was off duty a
lost. The Pretoria was less damaged
by the collision than the New York.
Several of the plates at her bow were
sprung and twisted.
After the passengers had been assured
that they were in no danger they began
to laugh and joke over the queer costumes
in which same Of the travellers appeared
on deck. The passengers refused to re-
turn to their cabins until daylight. After
it was determined that no serious DAM
age had been done to either of the ships
they proceeded on their way.

public" Ring Out Above Tu-
multi in Convention.

| CHICAGO. June 13.yThe principle of
woman's suffrage was indorsed here to-
day by the General Federation of Wom-
ems Clubs.
By this action a twenty-year fight by
| the suffragists to break down the fed
eration's constitutional bar on political
and religious subjects was successful
The actual operation required less than
five minutes. The motion was made by
Mrs. E. G. Denniston of San Francisco,
chairman Of the resolutions committee.
i, There were seconds from all over the
house, but Mrs. James Lee of Kentucky
insisted on being heard and read a para
graph of the hymnlike woman's creed
Others would have spoken, but Miss
Lutte E. Stearns of Milwaukee objected
Il don't see why there should be any
discussion" she said, in voice that
shook with emotion. Eight million
women are waiting for US. AS Mrs. Car
rie Chapman Gait said in her address
last night, the women of the world are
waiting for our action today"
Tears in Many Eyes.
When the question was put there was
a chorus of ayes" but scattered mega
tives were plainly heard. While Mrs.
Percy V. Pennbacker was declaring
the motion carried and pounding with
her gavel for order the pro-suffragists
arose and clapped their hands. There
were tears in many eyes. Then in a

auditorium.
The resolu ion follows:
Whereas" the question Of political
equality of men and women is today
a vital problem under discussion

Resolved, That the General Fedora
ton of Women's Clubs give the cause
of political equality it's moral support
by recording it's earnest belief in the

Similar to House Bill.

The Senate bill is similar to that passed
in the House in its general outlines.
The House bill provides commission
of three members; the Senate one of five
members. The House bill gives the COM
mission authority over corporations with
a capital of not less than S., 1000, 900. while
the Senate bill includes all corporations
except railroads-which are engaged in
commerce.
Two Important Amendments.
At meeting of the Senate Interstate
commerce committee yesterday afternoon
1t was decided to place in the trade COM
mission bill two important amendments.
One Of these amendments Is aimed at
unfair trade practices. giving the COM
mission power to investigate, pass upon
trade practices and enforce its orders
through the courts. This amendment was
taken from the bill offered by Repre-
sentative Stevens of Maine, and has the
approval of the President, it is said. AS
agreed to by the committee it is as fol-
lows:
Unfair competition in commerce is
hereby declared unlawful. The commits
sion is hereby empowered and directed to
prevent corporations from using unfair
methods Of competition in commerce.
Whenever the commission shall have rea-
son to believe that any corporation has
been or is using any unfair method Of
competition in commerce 1t shall issue
and serve upon such corporation writ
ten order, at least thirty days in advance
of the time set therein for hearing, direct
ing it to appear before the commission
and show cause why an order shall not
be issued by the commission restraining
and prohibiting it from using such method
of competition. and if upon such hear
ing the commission shall find that the
method of competition in question Is pro-
hibited by this act it shall thereupon issue
an order restraining and prohibiting the
use of the same.
Provision for Injunction.
THE commission may at any time mod
ify or set aside, in whole or in part, any
order issued by 1t under this act
whenever the commission after the
issuance of such order shall find that
such corporation has not complied
Herewith the commission may petition
the district court of the United States
within any district where the method
in question was used or where the said
is located or carries on
bu usiness, praying said court to issue an
Injunction to enforce such order of the
and the court Is hereby
to issue such injunction"
The other amendment agreed to reads
as follows:
To Investigate Trade Conditions.
The commission is hereby directed
to investigate as expeditiously as may
be trade conditions in foreign coun-
tries where associations. combinations
or practices of buyers, dealers or
traders, injuriously affect the export
trade Of the United States. and also to
whether American export
ers have combined with each other or
with foreign producers or dealers to
control prices abroad. and to report
to Congress thereon from time to
time"

Character of Reports Required.

THE commission" he said. will re-
quire reports only from those corpora
tions designated by 1t and the number
| will be comparatively few. Honest
corporations have nothing to fear from

The powers must be general, but their
exercise will be aimed only at violators
of the law"
Mr.. Newlands explained that his COM
mittee would soon report its second trust
| measure, a railroad securities bill.
II do not share" said he. 1.-The gloomy
views indulged in by some regarding the
| railroad situation. On the contrary
| believe the legislation which is being
! made effective to protect the railroads
| from financial mismanagement of their
| own trustees. of which there are few
| instances only, will place railroad securi-
| ties on a higher and more secure plane,
and make them very desirable invest
