Designed to Raise S35O,OOO,-

Scores of Amendments by

WASHINGTON, Feb. 28.-The ad-
ministration revenue bill, designed to
raise s35O,OOO,OOO through special
taxes and bond issues, was passed by
the senate late tonight by a strict
party vote, AZ to 80.
Immediately after the vote which
followed the defeat of scores of
amendments offered in quick success
sion by Republicans, Senator Stone
moved to adjourn until 12:4O o'clock
so as to clear the legislative situation
for consideration of the armed neu-
trality bill.
Senator Penrose countered with a
motion to adjourn until 1890 tomor-
row morning and when that had been
voted down another by Senator La
toilette was beaten.
Then a motion to adjourn until
1855 a. m. was carried by vote of
go to 9. There were protests in the
Republican ranks against the tactics
of their leaders and Senator Fall told
their colleagues they were tired of
seeing time wasted and wanted the
senate to get down to business.

PAPER MAKERS
WANT j. s. To
HAVE A HEART

WASHINGTON, Feb. 28.-News
print paper manufacturers who have
proposed to the Federal Trade Com
mission that it fix prices for their
product submitted to the commission
today cost figures for their mills and
asked that the price allowed permit
them still to do business at a profit.
Present costs, they declared, would
mount during the year because of
scarcity of wood and advancing labor
prices.
P. T. Dodge, head of the Internal
ional Paper Company, said his con-
Germ at present was making news
print paper at a far less profit than
on other grades of paper. He in
sisted that last years rise in news
print prices was due to rising costs
and to an unusual demand. One of
his mills, he said, was selling paper
now on contract at a price actually
less than the cost of production. For
years, he said, paper mills had made
little money and prospects for the fu-
ture were not bright because forests
were disappearing.
Mr.. Dodge declared the Internal
ional Paper Company had no watered
stock and that failure to pay dividends
was due to the fact that the COM
pany had made no money.
The manufacturers will be heard
again tomorrow. Friday paper job
bers will appear before the commits
sionitc give their views as to fair and
equitable prices. The commission is
understood to come to decision as to
whether it will set a maximum price
for all mills or fix a sliding scale,
permitting mills with higher costs to
charge higher prices for their output.

j. S. CONSULS
ARE DETAINED
BY GERMANY
Action Based Upon Circum-
stances, Which, Through
No Fault of U. S., Detain-
ed German Consul, on
Way to Quito, Ecuador,
at Havana, Cuba

WASHINGTON, Feb. 2S.-Immedi-
ate release of the four American con-
suls being detained in Germany was
asked in a note sent the Berlin gov
crnment tonight by the United States.
The request was made in reply to a
note received from Germany earlier in
the day, in which it was announced
the American consuls would be allow
ed to travel to new posts in Europe
when the Berlin government had been
oiTi,iolly informed that German con-
suls in this country ordered to South
and Central America had been per-
mitted to proceed.
The action of Germany was based
upon circumstances which, through
no fault of this government, detained
Consul Muller at Havana, Cuba, while
he was on his way from Atlanta to
his new post at Quito, Ecuador.
The United States, in its reply,
made it clear that the departure from
this country of German consular off
Gals had not been interfered with, and
that this government could not con-
troll the movements of German con-
suls in Cuba or other foreign terri
tory.
Those detained in Germany are:
Consul Henry c. E. Damn, transfer
red from Aachen to Harput, Turkey;
Consul John Wood, transferred from
Chemnitz to Messina; Vice Consul W.
Bruce Wallace, transferred from
Madgeburg to Constantinople; and
Vice Consul C. lines Brown, trans5
ferred from Mannheim to CONSTANT
nople.
