NEWSPAPERS Win
BY SENATE'S ACT
Section Seven Of Postofflce Appropria-
ton Bill So Amended That Press
Retains Freedom.

Washington, June 29-The senate
yesterday afternoon so amended sec
ton Z of the postoffice appropriation
bill that Postmaster General Burle-
son cannot use the authority granted
in it as a club to force newspapers
and periodicals to support the pres
ent administration.
AS the section was passed in the
house, it provided that the postmaster
general might arbitrarily send all sec
ond class mail by freight instead of
mail trains if he desired. Discretion
in the matter was left to him, and
under the terms of the section he
might have ordered are Jo1rnaT to go
by freight and allow competitor to
retain the mail privileges.
Publishers in all parts of the coun-
try protested against the passage Of
the section because they feared the
power granted the postmaster gen.
eral might be used improperly.
The senate yesterday, in adopting
amendments offered by Senators La
Toilette and Norris, provided that the
postmaster general could not discrim-
mate between publications of the same
class, such as newspapers, weekly
magazines, OF monthly magazines, and
it also provided that in case of COM
plant by publisher his order should
be automatically set aside until the
matter is adjudicated in the courts
The United States circuit court of ap-
peals is given exclusive Jurisdiction
in such cases.

AustroNote
on petrO1ite
Is Due Soon

Washington, June 29.-Austria's
probable reply to the United States
demand for reparation for the Aus
trian submarine attack on the Amer
lean tank steamer Petrolite was the
subject of considerable comment here
today.
To satisfy the United States, the new
note dispatched yesteday says that the
Austrian government must promptly
apologize for the attack, punish the
submarine commander and pay in
demnity. 1t describes the act as de-
liberate insult to the flag Of the Uni
ted States and an invasion Of the
rights of American citizens. The at
tack occurred in the Mediterranean
Dec 5.
The note fatty contradicts Austria's
claims that the Petrolite's captain vol
unfairly gave up supplies taken from
the steamer by the submarine com
mander, that warning shots were fired
across the vessels bow before she was
shelled and that her appearance was
such as to justify the submarine COM
mander in mistaking her for cruiser.

Howell, Adjutant General Logan,
Brigadier General Allen and Colonel

ficer of the Iowa guard, held a long
conference today regarding further
steps to be taken as to the disposition
of the cavalry. Colonel Morgan sug-
gested the troop be brought to Des

will be done, although Adjutant Cen
eral Logan refused to say what his
plans were
Funds may be provided, it was said
to buy overalls in which to send home
the "slackers." 1t is not believed they
will be permitted to wear uniforms.
No word reached the camp today
from the war department regarding
probable movement of the Iowa guard.
Arrangements for troop cars are going
forward satisfactory but no word
has reached the camp from the war
department as to when the movement
order would be issued.
