CONFEREES AGREE ON
SHIP REGISTRY BILL
Senate Reeedes from Jones Amend
ment-Make Report Today
to Congress.

Conferees representing the Senate and
the House very promptly reached a ten
tative agreement on the ship registry bill
yesterday afternoon, and at a meeting
this morning expect to frame a report
acceptable to both Houses.
The bill agreed on is in general the
Senate measure slightly modified. The
so-calied Jones amendment brought a
disagreement. and the Senate receded
with a substitute, which provides that
all foreign-built ships admitted to Ameri-
can registry within the next two years
under the terms OF the act may, in the
discretion of the President, be permitted
to engage in the coastwise trade OF the
United States.
The Jones amendment authorized the
President to suspend the laws, whenever
in his Judgment the demands of domes-
ito commerce required II. which forbid
foreign-owned ships from engaging in
the coast-to-coast traffic.
The Cummins amendment will probably
be modified to require that more than a
bare majority OF the stock of a corpora
ton acquiring foreign-built ships here
after and applying for registry under the
United States, shall be owned and held
by citizens Of the United States.
Senator Perkins - Representative
Greene, two OF the Republican conferees.

SENATE MAY RATIFY 20
PEACE TREATIES TODAY
Secretary of State Bryan's Action in
Visiting Capitol Is Severely
Criticised.
NO FORMIDABLE OPPOSITION

The Senate is expected to ratIfy more
than twenty peace treaties today that
were negotiated by Secretary OF State
Bryan and transmitted by the President
to the Senate recently. The Senate spent
the afternoon session discussing the
treaties. Mr.. Bryan interviewed several
Senators in. the Msxble Room, and re-
manned at the Capitol until after o'clock
last evening.
Robert Lansing counselor for the State
Department, was with Mr.. Bryan part
of the time. Secretary Baker. OF the Sem
ate. spent his time going back and forth
between his room, in which Secretary
Bryan had taken up his headquarters,
and the Senate chamber.
There was considerable comment among
Senators on account of Secretary Bryan's
action today. The Secretary explained
that he remained at the Senate to be IN
position to answer any questions that
might come up concerning the treaties.
Some of the Senators seemed to feel that
Mr.. Bryan ives there TO exert a personal
influence on the work of the executive
session. They say that his action IL
without a precedent.
From the outlook. there win not be ten
votes cast in opposition TO the ratihca-
ton Of the treaties, and most OF the esti-
mates for the number OF the opponents
Is about five or seven.
Senator Cummins. Senator Hitchcock,
and Senator Brandegee were opposed to
the feature of the treaties which pro-
vides for a years suspension of military
and activity following a
break between two of the signatory pow
ers in the belief that this interval Of
twelve months will permit of deIibera-
ton that will prevent war. The Senators
expressed the opinion that this
plan is wholly impracticable.

FL Paso, Tex, Aug. 12-Former Senator
Joseph W. Bailey will run again for the
Senate in 1916 for the seat Of Senator
Culberson. He made this announcement
here today following the refusal of the
Democratic State convention to do his
bidding upon his resolutions opposing
woman suffrage and nationwide pro-

Before the convention Bailey learned
the majority were going to steam-roIler
his resolution. He then threatened to try
again for the Senate just to get these
two issues squarely before the people of
Texas, If the majority went through with
its plan.
The majority did that very thing and
the former Senator lost no time in an
