WILSON PHILIPPINE
BILL IS DEFEATED

Washington, May 1.-The admins
trations fight for the Philippine Inde-
pendence bill with its Clark amend
ment, authorizing independence for
the Islands within four years, was lost
tonight in the house.
After voting 213 to 165 to strike out
the Clark amendment, the house, by a
vote of PSI to II, passed as substi-
tute for the entire measure the Jones
bill, providing for a greater measure
of self-government in the Philippines
and carrying a preamble declaring
the intention of the United States to
grant independence ultimately, but
without fixing date.
Over heated debates of administra-
tion leaders. the house by vote Of
203 to 54, instructed its conferees not
to agree to any declaration setting a
definite time for granting the Islands
their independence. Speaker Clark
named Representative Jones of Vir-
ginia and Garrett of Tennessee, demo-
Gratis, and Towner of Iowa, republican,
as conferees.

PRESIDENT [AUDS
THE FOREIGN BORN
Says Foreign Born Citizens Will
Come to Support Of Flag
With Cheer,

Washington, May 1.-"America, re-
awakened in national spirit through
lessons Of the war in Europe was
the theme of an address by president
Wilson today at the opening OF the
national service school military en-
campment for young women.
In concluding, the President voiced
warning that the honor and integri-
ty Of the United States cannot be
tampered with. He prayed that the
country should not be drawn into war,
but declared that il it should be, ''in
the great voice Of national enthusi-
asm wliica would be 'raised, ;til the
world would stand once more thrilled
to hear the voice of the new world
asserting the standard Of justice and
liberty" .
The president expressed confidence
that in time OF trouble, the great mass
Of foreign born citizens of the United
States would be loyal.
81 never had the slightest doubt of
what would happen when America
calls upon those of her citizens born
in other countries to come to the sup
port of the flag" he said. "Why, they
will come with cheers, they will come
with a momentum which will make
us realize that America has once
more been cried awake out of every
sort of distemper and dream and dis
traction will be cast out Of the conf
dence Of a great nation upon the in
stant."

The last of the petitions to be filed
by the New Rockford Capital RemOv
al association will likely be filed with
the secretary of state today. The pc
titiOns, according to officers of the as
sociation, arc on their way to the
capital city by express and should be
delivered to the secretary OF state
some time today.
While the petitions will be accept
ed for filing as they come in, there
is no way for the secretary of state
to determine what constitutes the
number of legal voters in county.
The poll liss are far from accu
rate. For instance, according to the
poll list of Cass county, at the last
general election in 1914, there were
4,S27 voters while, according to the
registration books, there were 6,06S
In other counties the same holds true
as the following figures will show:
County Poll List Registered
Benson ........ 1917 1884
Mclean ....... 2,G72 1888
Stutsman ..... 2,624 $500
The same is true in practically every
county in the state The 1916 regis
tration books will greatly increase
the number OF qualified voters in the
state, but will not contain anywhere
near all the names.
The secretary Of state has wired al
the county auditors to send in the
number of qualified voters according
to the 1914 registration, but is still al
a loss how to determine the exact
number which is necessary according
to the Interpretation Of the law, which
says: petitions must contain the
names of % per cent of the legal vot
ers''
There is no doubt but that the
courts will have to pass on the suffi
cheney of the petitions, and also de
termine the number of legal voters in
each county, before the removal prop
osition can be submitted to the vot
erS.

Most German Newspapers Re.

With All Due Crawl

Berlin, via London, May l.-Discus'

note continued Sunday at great head.
quarters without a conclusion being
reached, according to advices to the
Lokal Anzeiger.
The newspapers, for the most part,
refrain from comment; Theo. Wolff in
the Tagesbladt: Geo. B'ernhar. in the
Vossische Zeitung; Count Won Revent-
low, in the Tages Zeitung, and Tag
lische Rundschau, however, give some
consideration to the subject.
Herr Bernhard considers the stu.
alton still grave and voices a warning
against too great optimism. He de-
clares the final decision depends
solely" on President Wilson.
Congress Behind President.
There would be no greater mis-
take" he says, than the expectation
that the American congress might
reach a different decision than the
president. The time for exercising
influence on the American people and
their representatives. is past. 1t is not
doubted now that congress stands be-
hind President Wilson; the German
leaders who have the task Of framing
the German answer must remember
this.
No Halfway Measures.
"We could understand any decision,
no matter what it is, under the self
understandable condition that it pre-
serves Germans dignity, but there
must be no halfway measure" says
Herr Bernhard, land the decision
reached must create a final and en-
during fate"
He argued that it is impossible to
obtain with certainty a stautc that
will be harder to reach a decision and
the question will then be whether il

or consideration for the future that
should govern. He points out the fact
that the offensive has been the guild
ing spirit Of Prnssias and Germany s
military operations since the time OF
Frederick the Great, and concludes:
And if our statesmen, in reaching
decision in the light Of their infor.
nation on all the conditions involved,
believe that they must do so in the
face of uncertainty as to what the
purposes Of the party are, they will
have to take into consideration the
question whether in such cases it is
not wiser to take the lead themselves
rather than be forced to play to the
needs of the other player"

ASKS TO CONDUCT
CROSS EXAMINATION

New York, May 1.-4Lieutenant Rob
ert Fay of the German army, on trial
here with two others, charged with
conspiring to blow up vessels laden
with munitions for the Entente Allies,
today was extended the privilege by
Judge Howe of cross-examining an un-
friendly witness. He asserted that
his attorney was not properly con-
Quoting detail of the case.
Edward Brecker. reporter, en-
ployed by the New York World, was
on the stand when Fay sprang to his
feet and asked to conduct the cross
examination.
"My counsel" he said, Cannot de-
fend me because he is not cnnversant
with many details of this case"
Fay's lawyer, Former Assistant Dis
trict ATTORNEY Unger. explained later
that Fay had neglected to tell him
many things, and for that reason it
might be best to grant Fay's request.

First Of May

New York, May 1.--May Day, feat
ured here by a monstrous parade Of
union workers, also was marked by
the beginning of new labor disorders
as we'll as the settlement of several
strikes in the metropolitan district.
The paraders carried banners and
cards. Members of the garment max

shoemakers, wood workers, clothing
and shirt makers also were in line.
The day began with a strike of en-
gineers and firemen on tug boats and
freighters, but by nightfall many Of
the owners had acceded to the de-
mands for increased wages and the
water traffic situation, which was
threatened with an almost complete
tie-up, was improved.

AGREEMENT HOPED
FOR ARMY BILL

Washington, May Hope for an
agreement in conference on the army
reorganization bill seemed brighter
tonight after an agreement for ne
gotiations of differences between the
house and senate was reached. Sem
ate conferees agreed to yield on the
proposd standing army of 100000
men and to accept peace strength of
100000 men, providing the house
would accept the expansion system in
the senate bill. Under this system,
the army could be increased in time
of conflict to 100000 men, or more.
Senate conferees are still holding
out for the federal volunteer army, as
we'll as their prposed system of fed
eralization of the National Guard, but
house leaders insist they will win
their fight to eliminate the volunteer
army and retain the National Guard
provision.

Their last will likely be made at Juarez whence escape into the United States will be Carranza himself is at Queretaro and by this time is probably unable to reach the northern border. South of him Feiz Diaz is steadily gaining the ascendancy and little bands of legalistas formed in all parts of the so-called republic There appears to be no ioyalty to Carranza in any Mexican state Though Sonora of the is nominally loyal for months the first has attempted to exercise any au- thorty there and civil and military officials would give no heed to any orders from him that did not coincide with their wishes and did not con tribute to the fulfilment of their own ambitions.
 The pretended elections coming on, but they held nowhere except in the restricted territory now actually controlled by Carranza. In case of his election the situation would in nowise different from the present.

A singular honor was bestowed on R. E. More, president of the Valley
 bank of this city, when he was unani-
 mousIy elected president of the Ari-
 zona State Bankers association for the ensuing year at the closing session Of the thirteenth annual convention yes terday afternoon. Other officers elect
 ed were as follows:
 P F. Greer, president of the First ] National bank of Globe, vice president;
 J. H. Todd, cashier of the Gila Valley Bank and Trust company of Miami l and Globe, treasurer. reelected, and
 Morris Geldwater, president of the Commercial Trust and Savings bank Of Prescott, reelected secretary. 1 The association rec-:ved invitations ] from Castle Hot Sprins, Tucson and
 other cities to hold the 1917 convention | in those respective cities. No action
 was taken, however the question be- 1 ing referred to the executive council
 for action.
 i The meeting yesterday afternoon, aside from the election of officers, was l featured by an address by Hon. Willis 1 H. Booth, vice president of the Se- ! curity Trust X Savings bank of Los 1 Angeles, on Interstate Cooperation.
 In this talk, MT. Booth said that leg
 islative action should be taken for the | benefit of the corporations of the two | states and that the efforts be extended 1 to influence the United States govern ment to acquire the land as far south l into Mexico as the mouth of the Colo l rado river.
 Residents of the two states should l undertake to control the waters of the | river jointly" said ST. Booth. By | this method everybody interested |
 engagement would undoubtedly prove highly satisfactory"
 He also recommended that the two | universities work in harmony for the mutual benefit of the two states. By | such cooperation, he stated, greater
 and more satisfactory results could be obtained.
 A farewell address was given by Hon. J. c. Callaghan, retiring state
