PHILIPPINE BILL
PASSED BY SENATE
Senate Approves Measure for Complete
Independence of Islands in Two
to Four Years.

WASHINGTON. Feb. 3.-A definite
policy contemplating Philippine indie
pendence within four years was APP
proved by the senate yesterday, Vice
President Marshall casting the decid-
ing vote in favor of the Clarke amend
ment to the Philippine bin directing
the President to withdraw American
sovereignty within four-year period.
The vote, which followed weeks of de
bate, was Il to II. An effort to re
commit the bill was defeated in final
action on the measure, which has not
get passed the house, was deferred un-
til today.
Administration senators in support
ing the Clarke amendment maintained
that some such definite provision was
necessary to square with the inde-
pendence declaration in the Baltimore
platform. President Wilson has made
no public comment on the proposed
amendment, but senators who had dis
cussed it with him let it be known
that he was not opposed to it. Chair
man Hitchcock of the Philippine com
mittee, opposed the amendment and
was supported by il other Democrats
! Five Republicans, Senators BeFah
| Ciapp. Kenyon, La Toilette and Works
voted for the amendment Beside.
| Senator Hitchcock. Democrats who op
posed it were Beckham, Lea of Ten
nessee, Lewis, Myers. o German, Phe
Ian, Pomerene. Ransdell, Reed, Sauls
| bury and Walsh.
BY the terms of the amendment al
perfected, provision is made for ex
tension of time for granting independ
ence, if the President should deem i
advisable, until congress shall have
had an opportunity further to con
slider the subject.
