Ruptures.

The recent threat Of the powerful
Polish Club Of Vienna, coupled with
its protest against the new Austrian
German compact. has led to q chain
Of political ruptures, which in effect
win force Emperor Charles to consent
to the resignation OF the seidler cabi-
net, or the dissolution of the parlia-
ment according to advices received
hers yesterday.
Count Hoggenburg, minister Of the
interior. has resigned, his post being
taken by Chief Of Police Won Gayer.
who is known to favor extreme meas
ures In controlling any outbreaks
among the people. The present tense
situation grows out Of the hostility
between Hoggenburg and the cabinet,
the former plainly Indicating that he
would give no aid to those who sought
to make force superior to law.
Count Hoggenburg has openly as
fully meet the difficulties brought by
the war unless the active support Of
parliament is enlisted by the govern
ment. His resignation, and the fact
that 1t was accepted by the emperor.
are generally considered as indicating
that Austria In about to enter upon

RANDALL UPSET
! ON OPPOSITION
OF PRESIDENT
Author Of Food Bill Amend
ment Finds Delay
Annoying.

Interference Of President Wilson
in the prohibition question has
reused the ire of Representative
Randall, Of California, author of
the amendment to the Food Stimu-
lation bill. preventing the President
from using s6.o0o.o00 unless the
Chief Executive forbids the use Of
foods In LIQUOR manufacture.
The President has opposed the
Randall amendment on the ground
that he did not favor such amend
ments to appropriation bills.
Mr.. Randall gave out the follow
ing statement yesterday:
Thinks Time Inopportune.
ANY suggestion from any source
that war prohibition to. save food
must come through q separate bill
and not through an amendment to
the food production and conserva-
tion bill is. at this stage of business
in Congress, an unfriendly one. With
conference reports, war measures.
and the gigantic revenue bill hold
ing the right of way. an independent
prohibition bill would be choked to
death BY parliamentary ledgerde-
main"
II utudHLIy bdIo yCb-
, terday that despite any idea that the
President opposed bone-dry prohibi-
tion, they would make q desperate
fight for II, and surely expect To
force an amendment out Of the SEN
ate Agricultural Committee where the
Food Stimulation bill is now being
considered.
The Senate Committee met yester-
l a. asr nth har
: present and tentatively voted for
the Jones amendment as q .substi-
tute to the Randall amendment. A.
ter the vote Senator Smith of South
Carolina, acting chairman. said 9TH
er committee members wished to be
heard. and an afternoon meeting
was held.
This meeting was filled with dis
cussion which ended in the decision
that, beginning Monday, there should
be three days Of hearings. at which
opponents and proponents of the
Jones amendment would appear. Rep.
resentative julius Kahn, Of Califor.
mia, will appear Monday and oppose
absolute prohibition.
It was said by prohibitionists that
II the Jones amendment did not sur.
vive the committee vote, some othel
form would be offered, SO that pro.
hibition could be fought out on the
floor at the present session.
Jones Amendment Criticised.
There was some criticism of the
Jones amendment, some Senators
holding that that part Of the amend.
ment which would prohibit the sale
of already manufactured liquor wa.
not legal. Senator Norris, Of Ne.
braska, may offer q substitute which
would correct this. and there Is also
talk of supporting in the Senate ar
amendment offered in the House some
time ago by Representative Barclay
The Senate committee voted yes.
terday against the House amend.
ment to the food bill prohibiting the
employment in the Department OF
Agriculture of men inside the draft
ages. The committee takes the stand
that many OF the department en-
kployes are scientific experts and
should be exempt from the draft

Lodge To Oppose.
Senator Lodge announced yester-
day that he would speak against
the proposition on Monday, and give
his reasons for doing so. Most OF
the objection voiced in Congress
against accepting the gift is due 70
the fact that President Buchanan
believed in slavery. or rather is
said to have believed in it. Sena-
tor Lodge argued yesterday that
neither the North or the South at
that time had any confidence what
ever in Buchanan and so charac-
terized him as a weakened indi-
vidual, sworn to uphold the consti-
tuition and running away from the
job when the situation demanded an
aggressive attitude.
Senator Smith, OF Maryland. de-
Tended Buchanan, with the explana-
tion that his attitude on slavery
and other questions did not ditfer
very much from that OF President
Lincoln and George Washington
