Congress.
EP|DEMICs IN FLEET

WASHINGTON, June Admins.
tration managers in the senate today
decided to let the newspaper censor
ship section Of the espionage bill die
by the House vote of yesterday against
it. The senate conferees expect to
drop out entirely the hard fought sec
tfon and bring theb i'll before the SEN
ate for final passage containing only
the undisputed provisions.
WASHINGTON, June President
Wilson yesterday was defeated in his
effort to obtain legislation imposing a
war censorship of the press.
BY a vote Of 1s4 to IA the house of
representatives returned the espion-
age bill to the conference committee
of the two houses with instructions to
eliminate the press censorship section.
1t will be stricken out, the senate al
ready having rejected the provision.
Although opponents of the censor
ship section contended that other pro-
visions Of the spy bill drastically
penalize the publication of informa-.
tion aiding the enemy, President Will
son believes that congress yet will
rue it's action In denying his request
for authority to regulate the publica-
tion of war intelligence He may re-
new his effort to obtain this legisla-
tion in another FORM
Nayv Censors1io charoed
The house in rejecting the censor
ship provision was Influenced to some
extent by the charges that the admin
istration is suppressing information
of the serious condition of health In
the navy where mumps, scarlet fever,
and spinal meningitis are said to be
epidemic. 1t was contended that the
censorship proposed by the admins .
tration would make it possible to /
punish newspaper editors for exposing
such conditions.
Later it was disclosed that the
house had refused to appropriate
S3,500,O00 asked by the administration
to provide adequate hospital facilities
in the navy and that the senate had
suppressed the recent testimony of
Admiral Braisted. surgeon general of
the navy, who described the epidemics
in the navy and primitive conditions

IN APPEAL OF
GAS RATE CASE
Judge Cause Orders State
Utilities Commission to
Review Decision.

The Indiana Public Utilities Com
mission must reconsider its order OF
September 9, last year, establishing a
natural gas rate schedule for Rich.
mond which provided an average 22.3
percent horizontal increase over the
rates set forth in the franchise held

down late yesterday afternoon by
Judge Fred Cause. Of Newcastle,

entered after new evidence had been
given for the city by A. A Watt, valu-
alton engineer employed In the case
by the city The hearing of the case
started yesterday morning and was
abruptly concluded by the action Of
Judge Cause.

belief that the city's long and hard
