SENATE FORCED
To TAKE Up BILL
DESPITE WILSON
ENOUGH DEMOCRATS JOIN RE.
PUeLIcANs TO BRING UP I'M
MIGRATION MEASURE.

Washington. d. c., August 21.-By
81 to "a the senate today voted to take
up the immigration bill, which the
democratic caucus had determined to
postpone until next session. Nine
democrats voted with republicans for
the motion.
When debate on the provisions re-
lating to Asiatics was begun the gal
leries were cleared and consideration
Of those features proceeded in secret.
Passage Of the bill seemed assured
by today's action and it was predicted
the bill would be brief. President
Wilson vetoed the bill last year be-
cause of the literacy test.
Some democratic senators believe
the president will not veto the bill
again, although it retains the literacy
test to which he then objected.
The motion to take up the bill was
made by Senator Smith Of South Car
olina, chairman of the immigration
committee. The committee has
amended the house bill In an effort to
meet objections Of Japan to the sec
tions relating to Asiatic exclusion.

CHILD rs BORN IN
~. AN AUTO HEARSE

Chicago, Aug. 21.-Otto Rodenberg,
a chauffeur for an undertaking firm,
was on his way to deliver casket
when he drove alongside a street car
and was hailed by the conductor.
There's sick woman in this car"
the conductor said. 81 wish you'd
take her to hospital
Rodenberg stopped and aided by the
conductor and policeman transferred
the woman from the street car to his
hearse, placing her alongside the cof-
fin. She said she was Mrs. Mildred
Volensky and had left her home hur.
riedly for hospital but had miscal.
culated.
The driver of the hearse speeded for
a hospital but when he reached there
he had two passengers. Mrs. Volen
sky and fine baby boy were carried
into the hospital, at which institution
it was said today that mother and
child were doing nicely.
Master Volensky Is believed to be
the only infant in history to arrive in
a hearse. -

PRIVATE BANKS LOOTED
Angry DeposItors Storm the Doors Of
Institutions Which Are Guarded
by Police.

Chicago, Aug. 21.-While the police
of western states were searching for
Max Silver, accused of looting the two
Chicago private banks of Adolph Sill
yer & Co., his brother, Adolph, found
er of the Institutions, is hurrying back
from California to face the depositors.
Ali day crowds of angry depositors
besieged the bank doors and guarded
the former home of Silvers. Most of
the banks patrons are Russians.
The closing of the two banks has
aroused Chicago to demand for leg.
islation which will end the private
banking scandal in Chicago. Since
February IL, 1912, nineteen private
banks have failed in Chicago. Sew.
eral civic organizations have united
to force state control Of private banks.

JAPS AFTER BIG
PIECE Of LAND At
CANAL TERMINAL
UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT Is
INVESTIGATING REPORTED
PANAMA DEAL.

Washington, D. c., Aug. 21.-1nves.
legations of reports from Panama that
a 10000 acre land commission at the
Atlantic end Of the canal is being
sought by a Spaniard named Fernan-
dez presumably for Japanese interests
was ordered today by Secretary Ian
sing. Mr.. Lansing refused to discuss
the report in detail but 1t was con
sidered significant that the depart
ment should commence its action.
Rumors Of a similar nature have
been common ever since the canal was
we'll under way.
The present reports are that Fern
andez, Havana agent for Japanese in
terests, secured a 10000 acre land con
cession through the activity OF Ramon
Valdes, whose recent election to the
presidency Of Panama may possibly be
disputed by the United States because
of alleged frauds and coercion.
Admiral Concas, OF the Spanish
navy, selected by the Panama govern
ment as umpore to settle the dispute
with the United States over the pur
chase price of canal property, is al
legged to have given valuable informa
tion about the canal itself.

WAR SUMMARY,

On the Verdun front the Germans
are making determined efforts to re-
gain Fleury. Last night they drove
against the village with strong forces
using flaming liquid, but according to
today's Paris bulletin were repulsed.
Along the Somme front in Northern
France. the artillery battle Is raging
violently. No further actions are re-
ported by Paris, however, although
German counter attack apparently
is in preparation following the capture
by the French Of strongly fortified
wood between Guillemont and Maure-
pas, northwest of Peronne, announced
last night. -,'..
The Russians appear to be center
ing their efforts on new drive toward
Kovel and Petrograd says they have
taken a series of heights in that vicin-
ity. Hard fighting continues on the
crest of the Carpathians, where the
Russians are battling in sight Of tho
plains of Hungary. -.
On the Salonki front fighting is
growing in intensity over a long bat
tie line from Lake Presaba to Lake
Dorian. Both the Bulgarians and the
entente allies claim minor successes.

Indications Are That the
Allies Are Preparing
Balkan Offensive
BULGARIANS MOVE
UPON GREEK PORT
Russians Announce Gains on
Stokhod; Britons Advance
on the Western Front

Paris, Aug. 21.-Itafan troops be-
gan to disembark at Saloniki yester
day, says the Havas dispatch from
that point.
On leaving their ships, the dispatch
says, the Italians passed through
Saloniki to camp, preceded by military
bands Of the allies and cheered by the
populace. ..
Active participation by Italian
troops in the Saloniki campaign would
mean the existence Of a state Of war
between Germany and Italy. Germany
is directing the operations against the
allies on this front, and, as the off,
cial German reports show, has forces
there Some Austrian troops also
probably are employed and possibly
Turks but the major portion of the
army is made up Of Bulgarians. Re-
cent reports have indicated the with
drawal Of Austrian troops from, the
Italian fronts. .
AS the entente allies are believed to
have a force of some 100000 British,
French and Serbian troops on the
SaloniH front, the sending of rein
forcements at this time, just after the
opening Of hostilities on a large scale,
would indicate that the allies have en-
barked on a campaign of extensive
proportions.
Italy, which has a considerable sur
plus Of troops, has been urged to take
a more active part in the Balkan oper-
ations but was believed to have re-
Trained partly on account of the fact
that she was not at war with Germany.
There have been several recent indi.
cations, however, that declaration Of
hostilities was forthcoming. A COM
mercial treaty between these nations
was abrogated, German court ruled
that Germany isl actually, though not
formally at war with italy, and last
week it was reported that the defense
of Triest would be taken over by Ger.
mans. " " ..s
Italian participation in the Balkan
operations hitherto has been limited
to the Albanian port of Avlona, which
was effected before Italy declared war
on Austria. ..... ...-...... ...

ESCAPES SERVICE
WITH THE RUSSIANS

Hancock, Mich, Aug. 21.-Charles
Toivonen arrived in Hancock from
Finland today, having made two at.
tempts, the second one successful, to
escape from service in the Russian
army. According to Toivonen, all
avenues of escape from Finland of
men Of military age are closely guard
ed.
Toivonen made his way across the
Gulf of Bothnia, seyenty-five miles
wide, in a small boat to Sweden, where
a ticket to this country, forwarded by
his friends here, awaited him.
