 lt was the first time in more than a year that he president had received Ia suffrage delegatIon. His position al- ways aas been that suffrage is a Qucs ton to loo dealt with by tho states.
 Five political parties were repre-. sowed in today's deleeaton. when consisted ol J. A. II Hopkins. pro. gressive Of New Jersey: Dr. F. A. Rnmelv indepeHdentranublcan, New York. John Sparso, socialist Vermont. Virgil F. Hin-haw, prohl9itou st, l1.- .nois and Nils, Mabel Vernon and Mrs. Abby Scott Baker womans party Washinctou.

Washing on, May l4.--After nearly t1ree weeks of debate. ranging over innnrmerable problems of the war. the senate by a vota of 77 10 6 tonight passed the administration espionage blll, pronounced one of the most dras- tLc and all-incl5ssive measures in Amer lcan congressional history.
 A similar bill has passed the house and virtual re d1fting of many Of the most important provisions is expected in the forthcoming conferences.
 During todays final consideration, the senate stripped the measure en- tirely of prov sions for newspaper cen sorship and restriction upon manufac- ture of grain into intoxicating liquors and rejected an amendment designed to curb speculation n food products, although sentiment obviously was over. whohmng iu rayor of suah legislation later.

 Authority for the postoffice depart ment 10 censor mails and exclude mail matter deemed sedItous, anarchstic or reasonable, and making its mailing punishable under heavy penalties. (Not in the house bill)

 For nenallzing conspiracies designed to harm American foreign relations or for destruction Of property within the United States.
 For increased restrictions upon is- stance of passports with penalties for their forgery or false procurement; and for material extension of the pow. CT to issue search warrants for in- .6pection of premises.
 The clause giving the president power to embargo exports was re- taincd in the bill virtually as drafted by administration officials. Ie was modified once, but the unqualified provision was restored after It's neces- sity had been explained last week in a days session behind closed doors.
 Vigorous efforts to retain provisions for newspaper censorship and partial prohibition, together with foodstuft conservation, during the war, culminat- ed in final votes today in which the senate voted 4S to 34 to eliminate all provisions for the press censorship. On behalf of the administration forces, Senator Oyerman, in charge Of the bill, had moved 10 reinsert a modified cen sorship clause. As the house bill con. tains a provision for determination by the jury Of culpablllty for violation of censorship regulations to be promul- gated by the president. tbe administra- ton is expected to bring strong pressure for drafting in conference of a compromise censorship section.
 On the question of prohibition ana toodstuff conservation the senate by vote oof ~ g reversed its action of Saturday in accepting Senator Cum mins' amendment providing that dur ing the war, manufacture of cereals.
