 Government as Vote on
 Peace Situation Is Cast Foreign Minister Gives His
 Reasons for Not Revealing Conditions of Peace Pact

PARIS, April 16.-(By the Associat- ed Press. 1.-The chamber of deputies today by vote of SS4 to 166 expressed it's confidence in the government on a question whether Frances conditions of peace should be made known to parliament after Foreign Minister Pichon had declined to outline the de- tails of the peace preliminaries unt1i the treaty had been signed.
 The usual calm marking the morn ing sittings of the chamber, where electoral reform was under discussion, was broken by Deputy Andre Lebey, who, seeing that NJ Pichon. the for eign minister, was present, asked the minister when he would accept an in- ternellation on the conditions on which the government would make known the terms of peace to parliament.
 M. Pinchon replied that he was will ing to be interpellated immediately, but that he refused to give any de- tails of the peace preliminaries, these, the minister added, would be submit lGU TUT by ~-3 soon as signed He then asked that the matter be dropped, making it question of confidence in the govern ment. The house, after some heated speeches, supported M. Pichon in his refusal to postpone discussion until to- morrow by vote of SS4 to 166.
 At the demand of the socialists vote for closure of the debate was taken by personal vote and closure was carried, PIP against 102, show ing that some 15O deputies abstained from voting.
 M. Pichon in his address pointed out that to submit the peace prelimi- naries to parliament before the sig nature of the treaty would be uncon- stitutional; that it would be submit ting legislative for executive power.
 NJ. Pichon reminded the house De- fore voting that the government de- served well of the country. He re- called that M. Clemenceau had given warning that France would have to make concessions. The foreign min ister added that if more extended dec larations were made in an allied par liament the chamber of deputies might ask for further explanations on Fri day. A demand for a secret sitting of the chamber was rejected by vote.
 In adoption of the order of the day the chamber voted confidence in the Clemenceau ministry 360 to 126.

Mystery Shrouds Affair, as
 Wife of Wounded Relates Different Story of Cutting

With a deep wound in his back and bleeding profusely, J. w. Johnson, who lives above the Brooks garage in Lowell, was rushed to the Copper Queen hospital for medical attention last night shortly before midnight.
 According to Police Off cer Hill Ruff, who, in com pany with Deputy Sheriff Tom Foster, learned of the whereabouts. of the wounded man, Johnson alleges that he was held up by Mexican and American in front of the Brooks garage. and that when he resisted their attempted hold-up the American grab bed him while the Mexican cut him with a large knife.
 The officers state that when they entered the rooms occupied by John son and his wife Mrs. Johnson insist ed that the affair was an accident but when Johnson was questioned fur ther he related the other story.
 The officers are somewhat prone to believe that other motives were responsible but from the operating rooms at the Copper Queen hospital early this morning nothing would be divulged which would throw a light on the mystery.
 The wounded man was attended by Dr. Hunt. The wound which is an ugly one takes the shape of a ''V'' and extends down the left side night above the kidneys for more than eight inches. The depth of the wound could not be ascertained but it was stated that the man will recover.

PHOENIX, April 16-Although the last legislature appropriated $5O,000 to build the Sacaton- Florence power line, it may not be worth while con. structing it, according to statement by State Engineer Maddock tonight.
 The line was intended to give pow CT to the state prison at Florence and to the city as well" said Maddock, "but a question has arisen whether the water users can furnish con- stant supply of electricity. Superini tendent Elliott seems to think he can give us plenty of power in the summer when we do not need it much, but not much in the winter when we need it badly. The water users in tend to establish additional steam plants so that water will not be wasted in the non-irrigating portions of the year, but these plants will not be com pleted for possibly two years.
 Unless we can get power. there is little use of building the line"
