FILIPINO BILL
 PASSES HOUSE DATE OF WITHDRAWAL UNFIXED Measure Grants Greater Measure of Self Government, but Date of With drawal of American Protectorate Is Not Definitely Fixed.
DATE OF WITHDRAWAL UNFIXED

WASHINGTON, D. C., May D. After removing from the measure the paragraph fixing the time for grant, ing complete home rule to the Philip pines, and the withdrawal of the Uni ted States protectorate from the Isl- ands, the Jones bill, providing for a greater measure of self government to the Filipinos, and promise of ul- timate independence, was passed by the House this morning.
 The bill, particularly the portion fixing the date for the withdrawal of the United States protectorate, has met with considerable opposition from the members of the House, of both parties, it being held that the Philippines would not be ready for self government, and could not main tain a stable government at the time set.
 The bill. as passed, leaves the time of fixing self7government for the isl- ands until the Filipinos are prepared D maintain .neir independence.

CABINET CRISIS
 GREAT BRITAIN TO BE INCOMPETENT Press, Public and Parliament Blame Ministry for the Dublin, Kut-el- Amara and Conscription Muddles- New Cabinet Probable.
DECLARED TO BE INCOMPETENT

LONDON, May 2.-A crisis which is imminent may result in the for nation of a new cabinet. The pres ent ministry is being severely cen sured by press, people and parliament over the Kut-elAmara, Dublin and conscription muddles, which, it is de- clared, are the result of gross incom- potency or carelessness or both. Par ticular stress is laid upon the failure to get endorsements to the gallant band composing General Townsend's command at Kut-el-Amara, who for more than four months had held out against overwhelming odds. The re- sponsibility for the growth of the re- bellion in Ireland, which, it appears. had been under way for months, and the landing of arms there by Ger many. all unknown to the members, is fixed upon the cabinet, which it is declared, has been tried and found woefully deficient.

TREb|z0NO WON
 BY RUSSIAN COUP
FLEET PLAYS IMPORTANT PART
Russians Capture Many Prisoners and
 Large Quantity of Guns and War Booty Abandoned by the Fleeing Turks-City Abandoned.

PETROGRAD, May 2.-Details of the swift Russian decent upon and capture of Trebizond are finding their way here through dispatches from the front. These state that the Turks precipitately abandoned the city, which, with German assistance they had made every effort to convert into a stronehold impregnable against the Russiah attack from land and sea, but the dispatches state that the fleet was an important factor in the fall of the city.
 Employing the same tactics re- peatedly used with success in their progress along the littoral, the Rus sian warships moved forward for some distance beyond their objective and sent troops ashore considerably to the westward of Trebizond, threat ening to entral the Turkish garrison. This move was carried out in concert with the advance of the Russian land forces which had penetrated to with in striking distance of Trebizond.
 AS soon as the Turks witnessed the Russian preparations to land beyond Trebizond they gave up all resistance and scattered pell-mell.
 Thebizond contained a garrison of between 50,000 and 60,O00. What part of these troops escaped is not known, but it is believed here that large numbers were cut off and made prisoners by the forces landed from the Russian transports. A consider able amount of war booty, including a large amount of the latest type Ger man heavy guns was left behind.

TROOPS ORDERED
 STAY IN MEXICO
ORDER SENT TO GENERAL SCOTT
United States Soldiers Are to Remain in Mexico Until Brigandage is QuelIed and Danger of Raids on Border Towns Past.

WASHINGTON. D. C., May D. The conference between Generals Scott and Funston and General Obre- gon, the Mexican Secretary of War. has resulted in no agreement. appar- ently, and it is believed that the ad- ministration will pursue course of action in regard to Mexico deemed for the best interests of the country re- gardless of the wishes of the Mexi- can government
 It is said today, and the report comes from an authoritative source. that orders had been issued to General Scott to keep the United States troops in Mexico until brigan- dage has been quelled and all danger of Mexican raids on the American border towns is past.
 Just what effect this order will have upon the Mexican authorities is problematical. It is freely stated that the order means war, as the people of Mexico, as we'll as the officials, are opposed to the continuance Of the United States soldiers within the bor- ders of their country, and that an out break against them, in which soldiers and civilians alike will join, is likely at any moment.
 On the other hand those in posi- tion to judge of the conditions in the Southern Republic are equally conf dent that President Carranza will use what little authority he possesses over the people to avoid trouble. as his defiant notes to the United States are declared bluff, made for the purpose of drawing the people to him when in truth the present of the Uni ted States soldiers in Mexico is far from offending him.

CONTEST OVER

Heirs Produce New Will in Which University is Not Named, and Trus- tees Begin Action to Set Aside the Latest Instrument.

NEW YORK, May 2.-The trial of the case to determine whether or not Amos Enos, a millionaire who died last October. intended to leave to Columbia University of this city the sum of $5,OOO,OO0 or nothing, begins here today.
 When the estate was probated last year, a will was produced in which. with various other bequests, the Uni versity was bequeathed the sum of $5,OOO,OOO. The heirs to the estate protested that there was later will and probate proceedings were delayed to give the heirs an opportunity to produce the alleged will. In Decem- Der a new will, alleged to be the last instrument drawn up by the deceased, was produced, in which there is no mention of beauest to the Univer- sity. Trustees of the University con- tested the later will. and the matter will be fought out in the court.

AERIAL BIDS
 OPEN MAY F
PLAN IS DECLARED FEASIBLE
Postoffice Department will Attempt to Replace Costly Winter Mail Ser vice with an Aerial Service Be- tween Valdez and Fairbanks.

WASHINGTON, D. C., May D. Bids for the aerial mail service in Alaska, for which proposals were re- gently asked by the Postmaster Gen. eral, will be opened here May 12 by the department. A number of bids have been received, and inquiries in- dicate that there will be several other bids received before the date of open ing them.
 The call asked for bids for carry ing the mail between the coast and Fairbanks, stopping at Intermediary points, practically on the same lines as the present winter stage service, which under the present contracts cc(ets the government about $250,0OO par year. It is anticipated that the aerial service can be secured for a much less cost, and the Postmaster General will ask Congress for an ap- propriation of $5O,000 to conduct the aerial experiment. The plan has been endorsed by the Aero Club of Amer ica, which declares the plan is per fectly feasible.

In closing. he contended that the conduct of the submarines commander and crew prior to the ac- cident was exceptionally commend able, because they made every effort to familiariZe themselves with the new battery and safeguard against acci- dents.
 Captain McGrann asserted that while the Edison company was under no obligation to supply anything more tran battery for the E-2, it did all in it's power to assure the success of the battery. supplying the navy de- rartment with all information possible concerning the battery, it's ventilation and cooling system which played >such an important part in the acci- dent" He argued that the real issue Was whether the Edison company mis- represented its battery or failed to disclose anything it had reason to be- lieVe the navy department should know
 in regard to possible danger. He held
 that if naval officials failed to deter mine these facts, il was not the manu-
 lecturers fault.
 The fact that the Edison people did
 not warn the navy department is i'm material, he said. It is a point of record that it was known there might
 arise a dangerous condition due to hydrogen gas. Lieutenant Cooke knew ot this danger and has referred to 1T { in letter which is now in evidence Captain McGrann pointed out that Lieutenant Cooke had ordered that the . intake valves of the ventilation sys- lem never were to be closed during discharge. but that Chief Electrician Miles had testified he ordered them partly closed just before the explosion. lie declared, however, that no criti- cism was to be made of the com nander of the submarine or of any oi the workmen, He held that the eX- llosion was "an unavoidable accident and might have happened under any ] conditions
