Washington, Dee, 1.-THE imml'
grafton bill containing the restrictive
iteracy test for admission Of aliens
which has caused three presidents to
veto such a measure, was passed by
the senate. today, Ga. to Z. The BIZ
as amended in the senate, now goes
to conference. 1t passed the house
last session.
The senate reconsldered the clause
designed to exclude anarchists who
teach destruction of property as a
propaganda An amendment by Sem
ator Hardwick for the committee,
permitting entry of persons VINO ad-
vocate or teach destruction Of prop
erty "in war, insurrection or revoiu-
ton" but not otherwise, was adopted.
Three republicans-Brandegee, Colt
and Dupont-and four democrats
Husting, MARITIME, Phelan and Reed
voted against the bill. Senators Smith
of South Carolina, HardWick and
Lodge were appointed on the con-
ference committee
Authoritative statements have been
made that President Wilson intends
to veto the bill a second time because
of the literacy test. In this event
an effort will be made to pass the
fill over the veto, two-thirds major
ity in each house being required. The
bill passed the house last April by a
vote of 30S TO 81, more than two
thirds majority, and the senate vote
today, if repeated, would be sufficient
to override an executive veto,

$28,550,000 DAILY

London, Dec 14,-Andrew Bonar-
Law. chancellor of the exchequer, an
nounced in the house of commons
this afternoon that the daily average
expenditure Of Great Britain in the
war had risen to f5,71O,000.
Mr.. Law said the actual expenditure
had exceeded the estimate owing to
the increase in the munitions and ad-
ditional loans to Great Britain's allies
and to her dominions.
The chancellor said:
"Financially, we cannot hope to so
on indefinitely on the present scale
but we can go on long enough to
make sure that it viii not be from
financial causes if we fail to secure
victory"

gress to prohibit the use of the mails
for the sending of liquor advertise
ments by unlicensed liquor dealers
An effort is being made to have such
a provision included in the current
postoffice bill.
The vote on the suffrage proposal
was IL to s. The resolution by Rep
resentative Baker would submit the
several Susan b. Anthony amend
ments to the states.
Chairman Webb of the committee
said he would not ask for rule on
the prohibition resolution until after
the Christmas recess He will not ask
for any action on the suffrage pro-
posal. Representative Gard of Ohio,
who has been opposed to suffrage, was
chosen to report it. Representative
Carlin of Virginia, will report the pro-
hilton proposal.
Would Settle Suffrage Measure.
The reporting of the suffrage pro-
posal was due to the belief of some
of its opponents that it can be beaten
on the floor and they thought it best
to settle the issue by bringing it to a
direct vote in the house
An effort was made to couple it in
the voting as was done at the last ses-
sion of congress and which resulted in
both proposals being kept in the COM
mittee and consideration of them post
poned indefinitely. The committee by
a large majority, however, voted not
to do so.
Suffraglsts Are Surprised.
The reporting of the suffrage
amendment was a surprise to its sup
porters. The designation of Repre-
sentative Walsh of Massachusetts,, an
anti-suffragist, to succeed Representa-
tive Moss of West Virginia, as a mem
ber of the committee a rev days ago,
was generally believed by many suf-
frage leaders to have dealt a death
blow to their chances of having any
sort of a suffrage resolution reported
this year.
Proposed Amendments.
The proposed prohibition amend
ment drawn by Chairman Webb fol-
lows
Section l. That the sale, manufac-
ture for sale, transportation for sale
and importation for sale of intoxicat-
ing liquors for beverage purposes in
the United States and all territories
subject to the jurisdiction thereof, and
expectation thereof, are forever pro-
hibited.
Section 2. That the congress and
the states shall have the power inde-
pendently or concurrently to enforce
this article by all needful legislation.
The suffrage resolution follows:
Section l. The right of citizens OF
the United States to vote shall not be
denied or abridged by the United
States or by any state on account of
sex
Section 2. Congress shall have
power to appropriate legislation to en-
force the provisions of this article.
Members voting against reporting
the prohibition amendment were Gard
of Ohio, Igoe and Dyer of Missouri,
Graham and Steele of Pennsylvania,
Walsh of Massachusetts, and Dantorth
OF New York.

lay MORNING JOURNAL SPECIAL LEASED wTsl


Washington, Dec. 14.-Information,
regarded by some officials as con-
firmng the killing of Howard Gray or
Weeks, at Parral, by villa, and the
facts regarding the execution by ban
dts of Charles Fisher, another Ameri-
can at Santa Rosalia and of several
Chinese and Syrians at Chihuahua and
other towns, have been sent by the
state department to the American
Representatives on the Mcxican-Amer-
lean joint commission which will
meet at Philadelphia Monday.
Among reports received by the de-
partment today and forwarded by the
commissioners was one from Guiana
juato telling of the heavy death rate
among the poor. Others told Of Sc
rious economic condition in many
tother parts of Mexico,
Uniformed as to Carranza.
Officials here remained ignorant
tonight of the action taken by General
Carranza relative to the protocol
signed at Atlantic City. 1t was not
believed that he had instructed his
spokesmen to make any determined
effort to amend that part referring to
conditions for the withdrawal OF
American troops but it was thought
more probable that he had sent Al
berto j. PAM, who carried the pro-
tocol to him for ratification, COM
munication that may be in effect an
answer to the supplemental declara-
ton of policy made TO the MeXicanS
iby the American commissioners when
the protocol was signed.
Mcxicans to Lodge Protest.
Officials pointed out today that
there is in the agreement assigned no
reference to an arrangement for cross
ing the border by American troops,
but in the supplementary declaration
made by the Americans It was set
forth clearly that the United States
reserve the right to unlimited and
Unrestricted pursuit of bandits. Since
this declaration was made at an Of
ficial session of the commission, it is
regarded as probable that General
Carranza has considered it as no less
official than the protocol itself. The
comments which sthe Mexican com
missioners have announced they will
present at the Philadelphia meeting
Monday may be in the nature Of a
protest, it is believed here against
any such declaration of intentions,
such q development officials say,
would not necessarily be Of a charac-
ter to bring the conference to an end.
