HOUSE DEMOCRATS
IN CAUCUS FAIL To
AGREE ON MEASURE
Philippine Bill Finds Rough Shedding
and Body Takes Recess Until
Tonight.
JONES IN
STRONG DEFENSE OF ACT
Expected That House Republicans VIII
Vote Solidly Against Measure-De-
lection of Few Democrats Would
Moan Defeat,

Washington. April ga caucus OF
House Democrats tonight, called to
make the Senate Philippine bill a
party measure, broke up in serious
disagreement. A letter from Presi-
dent Wilson unQualifledly endorsing
the Senate bill with its promise of
Philippine Independence within four
years precipitated a stormy debate
when 1t was presented to the caucus.
The House leaders were unable to
quiet the tumult and the caucus re-
cessed until tomorrow night without
taking action.
The debate developed a split among
the Democrats which threatens the
defeat OF the Philippines bill In its
present form.
AS soon as the caucus met Repre-
sentative Jones, of Virginia, author
of tho House Philippine bill. present
ed a resolution, which If adopted
would make the Senate Philippines
bill a Democratic party measure, with
the endorsement of the caucus and
would pledge the Democrats to put the
bill through the House without
amendment The Senate bin contains
the much disputed Clarke amendment,
guaranteeing the Filipinos independ-
ence within four years.
Mr. Jones read the letter from
President Wilson in which the Presf-
dent endorsed the Senate bin con-
tanning the Clarke amendment.
Arouses Opposition.
The presidential communication
instead OF smoothing the way through
the caucus for the bill around oppo-
s;tion.
Vigorous criticism Of the President
for his a temp,s to dictate to Con-
eress were voiced by several members.
Many aadbors announced thir
Intention OF opposing the Philippine
bill, and declared they would not con-
slider themselves bound by the action
of the caucus.
Representatives Sherley. Coney and
Fitzgerald and various other mem
bers were outspoken in their criticism
OF the bin.
Representative Jones made a vigor-
Gus defense of the bill and the ad-
ministration plans for passing it.
Representatives Hubert, of New
York. and Hefiin, of ALBANIA, became
involved In a bitter alteration when
the Alabama member questioned the
party loyalty of those who opposed
the bill. For time a personal en-
counter seemed imminent. 1t was at
this point that Speaker Clark, seeing
no possibility OF agreement, moved a
recess
1t is expected that the House Re-
publicans will vote soldly against the
Philippine bill and the detection of a
small group of Democrats would in
sure the defeat of the measure.

Miners Restless.

Scranton. Pa. April 2S.--Mine work
ers throughout the anthracite belt
were restless today. This feeling has
been rapidly generating since April l.
During the last week scores OF men
have quit work and all coliieries were
operated short-hsnded.
A rumor WAS In circulation around
the mines that the men would strike
tomorrow This was denied, All OF
the miners union officials are in New

will be strike. and are preparing
for t.

PRESIDENT ISSUES AN
IMPORTANT STATEMENT
Warlke Character of Merchant Ship
May Not Re Assumed BY Enemy.
Evidence Must Be Conclusive.

Washington. April 2s.-Closely fol-
lowing the receipt Of an important
dispatch from Ambassador Gerard. at
Berlin. the state Department today
gave out a memorandum of the at
titude of the United States ON the
status of armed merchantmen.
The announcement is considered TO
have a most important bearing on the
controversy between the United States
and Germany.
The memorandum was prepared in
March by direction OF President VIII
son and was originally intended as a
circular note 10 the various govern
ments It's publication at this time. it
Is understood Is the direct result OF
suggestion from Ambassador Gerard
The statement Is the first official
declaration Or this government on the
subject since September 10, 1914.
when II announced that merchant
vessels might carry guns up to six
inches in calibre for defensive pur-
poses only without taking on the char
acter Of warships.
May Lose Status of Nerchantman.
The position OF the United States
now is that an armed helligerent mer-
chairman under instructions to attack
T.. all circumstances enemy naval YES
sells or Influenced to do so by offers OF
prize money or penalties, loses its
status s a peaceable merchant snip,
II is stated further:
1T should therefore. be considered
as an armed public vessel and receive
the treatment OF warship by an
enemy and by neutrals.
ANY person taking passage on such
vessel can not expect immunity
other than that accorded persons who
are on board a warship."
According 70 State Department Of
ficiels. the settlement Of the acute is
sues with Germany depends in large
measure on the outcome of the
charges of the German government
that British merchantmen have been
ordered to attack enemy submarines,
1t has been charged by Germany that
such instructions were issued secretly
by the British admiralty, and that
prizes were offered in London to the
captains and crews OF merchant ships
for the destruction of German SUBJ
marines.
Calls for Instructions.
II was admitted by Secretary OF
State Lansing today that the United
States has made a second demand on
Great Britain to produce copies of her
instructions to merchantmen to de-
termine whether she has given man
datory orders in violation OF inter-
national law. II the United States de-
cides that British merchantmen have
been the Instructions as charged by
Germany. this government. II Is under
stood, will issue a warning to Ameri-
cans to keep off such vessels
Inasmuch as Germany's principal
objection to conducting her submarine
warfare as the United States wants it
done has been that the British ad-
miralty's orders made II impossible
for the submarines to comply with the
requirements OF International law, Of
