Authorization for Use AOf "Other lnstru-
mentaIi6es' Limits Presidents Au-
lhority to Some Extent
$lOO,OOO,OOO AND
GUNS AND GuNNERS
War Risk Bureau Must Not Insure Ships
Carrying Munitions and Later Pro-
vision May Be Added
By United Fress.

By United Fress.
washington, Feb. 2S.-The house
foreign affairs committee has upheld
the presidents request for power to
meet the international situation but
with two important restrictions. The
authorization for the use of other m
strumentalitiesp aside from gunners
and money was stripped from the
original Flood bill limiting, perhaps
the presidents authority to some ex
tent.
The restriction was the insertion OF
a provision against the use of the war
risk bureau to insure ships carrying
munitions. A later provision may
bring the whole armed ship munitions
questions into the present situation
and develop an unpleasant complica-
ton when the vote comes.
AS the house bill stands it provides
for granting to the president guns
gunners and $1O6,0O0.0OO. The guns
and gunners are to be used to protect
the ships and citizens OF the country
against any unlawful attack in their
lawful peaceful pursuits on the high
seas"
Three proposed amendments TO strip
President Wilson of the power to arm
munition ships were voted down.
The committee = report provided
against using the federal war insur-
ance bureau in insuring ships and car
rying munitions.
The next step toward the passage
of the message in the house is to get
a rule for expeditions action. The
house may wait upon senate action,
which is not due before late tonight or
tomorrow.
The house rules committee intends
to meet tomorrow to report out rule
whereby quick action, If necessary,
may be obtained on the BILL
The house doubtless will pass the
bill in view Of the fact that it takes
away the use of "other instrumentali-
ties" that vague power which con-
gress felt might encroach upon it's
war making rights and give the presi-
dent too great power.

Vote al That Time, However, Decidedly
in Favor of Bond Issue From
Outward Appearances
SUPERINTENDENT
REMINDS men OF DUTY
He and Corps Of High School Boys Bring
Out Vote From Citizens Who Had
Forgotten

While the vote up till three O'Clock
this afternoon on the $4,000 schoo
bond issue was too light to be accept
ed as a criterion. up to that hour the
result was decidedly in favor of yot-
ing the bonds. That was the opinion
expressed by William F. Ramey, su-
perintendent of public instruction,
who, throughout the afternoon, aided
by a corps of high school boys who
realize the necessity for increased fa-
cilities, rounded up number Of citi-
zens who had intended to vote on the
issue but had overlooked it,
The vote UP till noon was light. At
the Carnegie library, for instance, it
had only reached twenty, while TWEEN
ty-six were registered at the city hall.
BY three o'clock, however, the library
vote had approached the sixty mark.
Eight men had voted in body and
seven had voted for the bonds.
The worlSingmen see in the bond is
sue not only increased educational fa-
cilities for their children but more
work as well and while this might not
Influence their vote it will become a
factor in their rejoicing should the
bonds be voted
The election officers are practically
the same as those announced in the
proclamation, and with only one or
two exceptions no failures to respond
to the call were noted.
The polls in the city will be open
till Z o'clock but those at Sharoan
Springs will close at o'clock.
1t is expected that the results may
be announced shortly after o'clock
tonight as the counting will be swift
after the closing Of the polls.
