CLARK AND MANN
WANT NO CENSORS
Speaker, Denouncing Papers
for Attacks on Him, Says
Press Must Be Free.
VIOLATES CONSTITUTION

Washington, May j.-Speaker
Clark left the chair today to open
the fight to strike out the censorship
section Of the house espionage bill as
proposed by Representative Graham
OF Pennsylvania,
The speaker declared the section
was in direct violation OF the con-
stitutional guarantees of free speech
and free press.
The speaker read from the first
amendment to the constitution which
declares that congress shall not
abridge the right OF religious liberty,
free speech or free press and desig-
mated it the most important part OF
the constitution"
Il believe the press censorship here
is in violation of the constitution" he
said The fact that Gators SANDER
people, abuse them like pickpockets
and lie about them for doing their
plain duty will not make me vote
for what don't believe is constitu-
tional.' -.
1t was agreed to debate the section
for four hours. A final vote on the
bill tonight appears unlikely.
Republican Leader Mann followed
Clark with the announcement that
he would vote to strike oul the entire
censorship section. In brief address
he urged the necessity of giving the
greatest possible publicity to all
events connected with the war.

Chicago, May 3.-The strike OF
union bakers, in progress here since
Saturday, was settled last night after

was a possibility that the government
might act if it became more acute.
Details of the agreement will be
presented to the union membership
for ratification before being made
public. :,
The strikers gain an increase of
s. a week in wages, which they de-
manded. it was announced later. This
amounts in the aggregate to S4,o0o

Balk at Buying Furniture
For Phil Halls Quarters

Lincoln, Neb, May 3.-(Special.)-
Can depa' tment of the state be con-
sidered inside the state house when
it is outsider This is a proposition
which Adjutant General Phil Hall is
facing in an effort to get the State
Board OF Public Lands and Funs.
which has charge OF the state house
and assignment of Offices, to pur-
chase some needed furniture and
other fxings for the adjutant gen.
erals Office.
When the legislature convened last
January it became necessary for Cen
eral Hall to give up his offices on the
third floor of the state house for the
use of the state legislature reference
bureau. The guard headquarters
were moved down town. Before the
session was over it became necessary
to have more room for the headquar-
tiers and a committee from the legis-
lature authorized General Hall to rent
his present quarters. The board is
said to hold that it has no right to
buy equipment for an Office outside of

Campaign to Gust
Hollweg is Again
Under Full Swing

Copenhagen (Via London), May 8.
Such German newspapers as are
now permitted to reach here, although
evidently carefully selected for the alb
sence of military news or any infor-
nation in regard to the strike move
ment, indicate that the campaign
against Chancellor Won Bethmann-
Hollweg is again in full swing.
The conservatives have adopted
resolutions attacking the chancellor
and censuring the government for
weakness and vacillation on the peace
question and in dealing with the
strike agitation.
The resolutions express concern at
the growing influence of the social
lists, whose peace-making efforts are
declared to be leading Germany to the
brink of ruin. The premier is accused
of sailing course prescribed by the
socialists.
The Berlin correspondent of the
Hamburg Fremdenblatt, in long sur
vey of the situation. declares that the
political life of Germany is now pass
ing through an era OF strife and diff
ferences of opinion on external and
internal questions which daily grow
more lively and of broader dimen-
sions.
The correspondent says that dissat-
isfaction with the governments policy
is growing in all directions and that
its reticeLce on peace terms is being
used to sharpen mutual suspicious and
the antagonism of the party.
The socialist leaders, he continues,
do not hesitate to explain and justify
the latest strike movement on the
grounds of the delay in reforming the
Prussian franchise. On the other
hand, the Pan-German reactionaries
stop at nothing to prevent the forma-
ton of majority party, capable of
realizing the needed reforms in the
body DoIitic.
