The fight which The Times

year for justice to TacOma's

18th hour effort to stab it in the
back, the memorial to the geo.
graphic board, asking it to rip off
the name Rainier" and substi-
tute a fitting aboriginal name, at
last has been given big majority
in both houses of the legislature.

Last year." said Bowie, 1--WE
took in more than $50 millions

pieces. Twenty-Five millions of
the latter were the original golden
eagles Uncle Sam paid the French
for their rights to the Panama
canal, and the packages came
back unopened!
But il we were to trace back
the origin of the greater part of
this gold we would find that its
equivalent in American dollars is
probably going to be paid over for
the purchase of munitions or food
for war-stricken Europe.

toilette, Norris, and possibly 9th

would go by the board. LaFol-
lette last night blocked the bill
so it cannot reach a vote before
late tonight or tomorrow.
The fate of the bill turns main
ly on Senator LaFollette. He has
been inclined to filibuster against
the naval appropriation bill, and
the authority measure. He and
one or two more men could block
the bills, but the question today
was, whether they wanted to take
responsibility for such a move.

administration had before it Ger

as fragrant insult by some off

WASHiNG1ON, ID. u, FeD.
2S.-The house foreign af-
fairs committee today upheld
President Wilson's request
for power TO meet the inter-
national situatiOn-but with
two important restrictions.
Authorization for use of "other
instrumentalities," aside from
guns, gunners and money, was
stricken from the original Flood
bill, thus limiting the presidents
authority to some extent.
The second restriction was the
insertion of a provision against
use of the war risk bureau to In
sure ships carrying munitions.
Minority Report.
The latter provision may bring
the whole armed ship and NUM-
tons question in to the present
situation and develop an unpleas-
ant complication when a vote
comes.
Those voting against the report
were Representatives Shackleford
and Huddleston (Dems.) and Rep
resentatives Cooper and Porter
Reps.), all of whom filed a mi
nority report. Rep. Thompson
also filed a minority report.
AS the house bill now stands, II
provides for granting President
Wilson guns, gunners and $780,
000,000--the guns and gunners to
be used to protect ships and citi-
zens of the United States against
unlawful attack in their lawful
and peaceful pursuits on the high
seas.
House Expected TO Pass II.
The three proposed amendments
to strip Wilson of power to arm
munitions ships were voted down
as sop to the entire munition
ship crowd The committee re-
port provided against the using of
the federal war insurance bureau
in insuring ships carrying NUM-
tons.
The house rules committee in
tends to meet tomorrow, to report
out rule whereby quick action"
If necessary can be obtained on the
bill.
The house will doubtless pass
the bill, In view of the fact that
1t takes away use of the other
instrumentalities," that vague
power which congress felt might
encroach upon its war making
rights and give the president too
great power.
