Record REVENUE BILL is $500, 1000, 1000
Senate Democrats Devote Many Hours to
DelberatiOn in Caucus Over ApprOpriations.

Washington, Aug. 13.-The
Importance of the $200,000,
revenue bill on w h i c h Senate
Democrats today devoted many
hours of deliberation in CAUCUS,
is being impressed upon leaders
by the fact that appropriations
OF the session now nearing COM
pletlon have broke all records.
With passage this week of the
S50,COO,OO0 ship purchase bill
and probable approval by the
House of the Senate's gigantic
naval bill, the appropriations of
the Sixty-fourth Congress will
have exceeded the previous high
record by at least a half billion
dollars. While exact figures can-
not be computed until the close
of the session, the aggregate
appropriation by Congress for
all purposes probably will ap-
proximate $1,7oo, 900, 900 as a.
gainst $1,114, 600, 900 for t h e
Sixty third Congress.
Besides regular supply bills
which total as they now stand
Sl.387, Zoo $50 Congress will have
added when the shipping bill is
approved more than $50, 900, 900
for special purposes. There also
have been contract authorizations
amounting to about S2o7 900, 900
all of which would bring the
grand aggregate to 81 ,695, 900, 900
with the uncertain general def
cheney appropriation bill still in
the making to be added at the
end of the session.
Special appropriations include
Sc. 100000 tor Government
nitrate plant, Sc, 900, 900 for good
rords, SIS, 900, 900, 900 for rural
credits, and $50, loo, 900 for the
Government shipping project.
General supply bills that enter
into the sessions total are as fol-
lows:
Postofice S322,2o6, $50; Navy
yet to be approved, S315,926,843

! Italian theatre, with further
gains for the Entente Allies in

operations of Saturday night and

Northwest of Pozieres, north of
the Somme, the British made an
advance of from 800 to 400 yards
over a front of nearly a mile of

captured trenches on the plateau
northwest of Bazentiu- Petit.

hand-to-hand encounters.
Mariampol, in Galicia, seven
miles southeast of Halicz, the
town of Prodglacy and several
villages along the upper Sereth
river have fallen into the hanGs
of the Russians. All along this
front, even in the Carpathians
region, Petrograd reports that
the Russians are continuing their
advance against the Austro-Ger-
mans.
On the Bystritza sector and
near Monasterzyska, however,
Berlin says the Russians have
been thrown back at several
places by the counter-attacks of
the Teutonic Allies.
The Duke of Aosta is keeping
up his strong offensive against
the Austrians in the 1sonza region
having driven them from fortified
positions in the Monfalcone and
Gorilla sectors and taken prison

men.
Constantinople reports that the

statement, asserting that the

Lake TOXAWAY dam BREAKS.
Cost $4,000 Covered $50 Acres and an
Immensd Volume Of Water.

Asheville, Aug.-T h e great

ing back waters that covered 55(
acres of land in the Toxaway re
giou, 50 miles from this city
crumpled and went out with {
roar at 7:1O o'clock tonight. and
at midnight the waters thus re
leased were rushing down the
Keowee River valley toward
South Carolina cities their path
including Walhalla, Anderson,
Plckens and Seneca. Warnings
of flood danger were sent to all
South Carolina points by the
Associated Press from this city
and Greenviile, S. c., at 7:3O
o'clock.
At II o'clock tonight tele-
phone message from Lake Toxa-
way stated that the lake was be
ing rapidly drained. 1t was
thought that the flood waters
would reach the Walhalla and
Seneca sections shortly after mid
nj ght.
According to long distance
message from Toxaway. the en-
tire dam, built of earth and stone,
seemed to melt before the rush of
waters within a few minutes.
The initial opening in the dam,
caused, it is believed, by the
seeplng of natural spring at
the base, was not longer than
railway coach.
the dam built in 1902, at a
cost of SSS,ooo, was constructed
at point where the hills are not
more than 400 feet apart. Over
this dam the waters of Lake
Toxaway River flowed down

paratiyely uninhabited country

There have been 10 annual
rains in the lake section for sew,

the dam was weakened by the
heavy rains which flooded Wes
tern Nor tn Carolina during the
week Of July TO- This is the
third and largest of the lakes in
the mountains of Western North
Carolina which have gone cut
since the July storms.
Later reports indicate that no
lives were lost, but a few dwell

bottom lands were covered with
water, crops damaged and some
trees uprooted. T h electric

CONFERENCE With PRESIDENT WILSON.
Working Basis Laid for Settlement Of Bail
Strike Issues,

dent Wilson conferred today
with both parties to the threat
ened country wide railway strike
tonight it appeared that sutfi-
cient ground work had been
laid to furnish a working basis
for a settlement of the differ
ences of employees and employers
The President will meet both
sides again tomorrow.
At the conclusion of the days
conferences, the President issued
this statements:
81 have met both sides and
have gone over the case with the
utmost frankness. [ shall not
be able to Judge until tomorrow
whether we have found a feasible
basis for settlement.
The foremost questions are
what shall be arbitrated, if arbi-
tratioa is to be restored to, and
what form of arbitration shall
be adopted.
Representatives of the en-
ployes maintain that their de-
mand for an eight-hour day and
time and half for overtime is
the only concrete proposition un-
der discussion. They insisted
to the President in their confer
ence today that the railroads
make some definite proposals.
If the railroads submitted some
proposed form of settlement
they said they would be ready to
discuss negotia tions further.
The employees are understood
to be ready to consent to the
principle of arbitration if the
contingent proposals of the
managers, which the men claim
involve rights they have won in
30 years effort, are eliminated
from consideration and if arbi-
tration is conducted by a board
on which all four brotherhoods
are presented.
Immediately after learning
the employees position the Presi-
dent summoned the committee
of managers and held a long
conference with them. They
left the White House to confer
among themselves throughout
the night if necessary and the
general understanding was that
they discussed the advisability
of withdra wing their ''contin-
gency" proposals and submit
ting q proposition "w i h O u
strings" as demanded by the
men.
While representatives of the
employees insisted that they had
not agreed to arbitrate any fea-
ture of their differences there
was growing impression that
arbitration, or some form of
compromise would be agreed
upon. At no nme, it was said,
did the representatives of the
men indicate that unless their
demands were granted unquali-
fiedly, they would go on strike.

The Legislature Of Georgia Will Probably
Have Romish Prisons Inspected.

On July 27 the Veazey bill!

grand juries of all places il
Georgia where people are con-
fined, came up ill the Georgit
legislature in session at Atlanta
Papist politicians, evidently
fearing the result of inspection
| to Romish II. O. G.. S. laundries
and other other papal prisons
concentrated all their forces
upon the committee to which the
bill was referred. They captur-
cd the committee to their entire
satisfaction; but it seems that
Georgis legislators have minds
of their own, and in this case
asserted them to the extent of
requdiating t b e committee s
recommendations.
The fight was in the house of
representatives following t h e
adverse report of the committee
on rules. When the committee
report was rendered, it's vice
chairman, Mr.. Blackburn, took
up the fight in behalf of the bill
with the result that but 46 mem
bers voted to support the pro-
pal com mittee, while loo voted
in support of the bill.
The arguments of Rowan
Catholics and pro papists was as
usual to the effect that Rome S
prisons and sweat shops should
not be disturbed by prying off
cials and grand juries. They
made the plea that if persons
were illegally imprisoned in
such places they could be got
out by habeas corpus proceed
ings.
But Mr.. Blackburn made it
clear that persons might be so
confined without knowledge of
their confinement reaching the
outer world. The object of such
visits is to determine whether
persons are or are not in such
places under illegal restraint.
On this showing of Georgia
legislators, it is likely that the
Veazey bill will become a law,

held there in slavery for priestly

Another desirable law in con-
nectiOn with such measures for
the prevention of human free
dom. would be a provision re-
quiring all such institutions to
report the admittance or dis
charge of every inmate, with
such inmates correct names and
descriptions, to prevent t h e
secret transfer of slaves from
one dungeon to another.
The legal department of the
Free Press Defense League is
now preparing a series of legis-
lative bills to cover all the crook

tentiaries. In another ye I
