VOTED OUT OF BILL, 21s.1e5
Jones Measure Finally Passed as Sub
stitute-Latter Declares Intention Of
Uncle Sam to Grant Independence
Ultimately, but Fixes No Date,

Western Newspaper Union News Service
Washington, d. C.-The administra-
tion's fight for the senate Philippines
bill with its Clarke amendment au-
thorizing independence for the islands
within four years was lost in the
house May 1. After voting 213 to 165
to strike out the Clarke amendment,
the house, by vote of PSI to II,
passed as a substitute for the entire
measure the Jones bill providing for
q greater measure of self government
in the Philippines and carrying a pre-
amble and declaring the intention Of
the United States to grant indepen-
dence ultimately, but without fixing
a date.
Over the heated protest of admins.
tration leaders, the house, by a vote
of 203 to 154, instructed its conferees
not to agree to any declaration set
ting definite time for granting the
islands their independence. Speaker
Clark named Representatives Jones,
of Virginia, and Garrett, of Tennes-
see, Democrats, and Towner, of Iowa,
Republican, as conferees.
Now the bill goes to conference be-
tween the two houses, with the oppo-
nents Of the Clark amendment satis-
fed that it is dead, at least for this
session Of congress.
