By Associated Press.

by ASSOClaleO HreSS.
 WASHINGTON, May 1.-The ad- ministratio1's fight for the senate Philippine bill, with the Clarke amend ment authorizing independence with in four years, was lost in the house tonight. After striking out the Cla-ke amendment, the house passed as a substitute for the entire measure, the Jones bill, providing a greater meas ure of self government and carrying preamble declaring tine intention of the United States to grant independ- ence ultimately but without fixing a date. The bill now goes to the con ference. Republicans were jubilant over their first marked victory over the presidents legislative program. Over the heated protest of admins tratio1 leaders, the house instructed the conferees not to agree on any declaration setting definite time for the granting of independence to the Philippines.
 Representative Conry, one of the leaders of the New York Democratic delegation against the senate bill. brought the long session to a dramatic end by collapsing as the final vote was taken. His condition is not re- gardei as serious.

MAY DAY BALL ENJOYED
 BY HUNDREDS
PLEASURE RULES AT BIG SOCIAL EVENT; TWO SURPRISE SPECIALTIES REALISTICALLY GIVEN.
(From Tuesday. Gaily.)

"The Best People On Earth" sev- eral hundred of them, attended the 20th annual ball of Prescott Lodge No. 330 last night and danced un:il the wee sma' hours of this morning. The floor of the Elks opera house was crowded every dance. the hall was filled with music and laughter every minute and if ever an atmos- phere of fun and festmity existed it certainly fioated in through the doors and windows last night and was in- haled by everyone
 There were young Elks. some oi them merely "fauns." and middle-aged Elks. but no old ones, for time has proven that an Elk never grows old. There is only one word that could be used to honestly describe the ball. it was equally divided among everyone.
 The grand march started at 9:30 o'clock. and from then until morning, the Elks and their guests frolicked about, having the time of their lives.
 Two surprise speeialties were int-o- duced during the evening. The first, "A Bit of Tokio," was given by Miss Helen Deming. Dressed in dainty Japanese costume, Miss Deming gave a dainty and quaint Japanese dance, accompanied by a weird Japanese melody.
 The second speciality was presented by Miss Grace Andrews. It was en- titled on the programs, La Danza,' which, according to the laws of good English should mean "the dance" This speciality was justly named, for Miss Andrews gave one of the most pleasing and graceful exhibitions oi dancing ever seen in this part of the State.
 The Elks' orchestra had plenty to io playing the 20 dances, let alone giving from one to four encores for every number, but the musicians were equal to the occasion and offered -ythmic, sy1copatel brand of music that was impossible to resist.
 Following are the people who were responsible for the success of the ball. listed under the heads of the various committees on which they served:
 Arrangements-William H. Hoover.
