Washington, June (Special)-The preliminary fight in the Senate over woman suffrage .centered itself today over the Underwood amendment provid . ing for the reference of the Susan B. AnthonN amendment to conventions of states rather than legislatures.
 Senator Underwood spoke this after roon in support of his amendment. He argued that delegates to conventions would be elected by the people directly and immediately concerned with suffrage whereas legislatures had been elected by people who had little idea that they would be called upon to ratify the suf- frage amendment.
 It was his point that the action of con ventions would be more nearly in ac- cerdance with the views of the people. There was never an entertainment of hope that the Underwood amendment would prevail The suffrage forces are apparently no more willing that suffrage be submitted to conventions than to the people.
 It is anticipated that the vote on the Anthony amendment will be had the end of the week and that it will be sub mitted

NO CLUE FOUND


 Philadelphia. June Sx-A 24-hour in vestigation by agents of the Depart ment of Justice and the local police, working together, failed to develop clue to the identity of the perpetrators of the bomb outrages in this city last night when the rectory of a Catholic church and the home of private citi- zen were badly damaged. Neither was there advanced any tangible reason why these places were selected for de- struction. Several men were arrested on suspicion of being connected with the explosion, but all were released because nothing could be found to con- meet them with the crimes.
 Most of those working with the case seemed to agree that one gang WAS responsible for the outrages in Phila- delphia and seven other cities, the bomb explosions here last December and the mailing of internal machines Tn New York in April. It also hos been established with fair degree of definiteness, according to the police, that Philadelphia is the headquarters of the violent radicals of the east and that their emmissary who blew him self to atoms in front of Attorney General Palmers home in Washing ton was sent from this city
 Although every effort was made to establish this mans identity, nothin 3 defenite was learned. The proprietors of hat store located in the Italian quarter of the city, whose tag the bomb thrower's hat bore. said they had sold large number of hats aa- swering the description wired by the Washington authorities and that they could not remember the sale of such a hat to any particular person. They said most of their trade was with Ital- ! ians.
 | Every meeting place of radical sc- cleties of all nationalities are under | close surveillance and particular at tention is being paid to those in the Italian section.
 There was gathering here last Sunday of score of radical agitators | from other cities. according to Super interdent of Police Robinson, but none of them could be found today. One theory is that final plans for the wide spread bomb explosions were made ;.t this meeting
 The police department today issued orders for the arrest of persons post ing red-lettered notices of a general strike throughout the city. The call Is for general strike to free aN political prisoners" and it is the opin- ion of the police that the agitators aim to inaugurate strike similar to the one that is sweeping Canada

Associated Press Summary
 Of International Situation

There is n probability that Ger many may secure, as a result of her strong counter proposals, some iessening in the severity of the peace terms of the allied and as- sociated powers. Germany's pleas that it will be impossible to fuII- i'll the financial requirements of the allies and her protests against certain territorial relinquishments have been needed and are being discussed by the council of four In Paris. Report has 1t that in certain quarters of the peace con ference the German viewpoint is receiving strong support.
 A full discussion of the German counter proposals, especially con cerning reparations and other eco- homie features of the peace treaty, has been held by President Wilson and the staff of American experts of the American peace delegation. Great Britain is said to favor number of concessions to Germany, but France continues firm i'm her stand not to waver from the original terms. On the other hand, Americans are de- clared to be not averse to minor concessions, but are not in favor of going to the extent that the British proposed.
 
 The German government is in- censed over the formation of a Rhenish republic. It has ordered the arrest of Dr Dorten, the presi- dent of the republic, and also has protested to the peace conference and the armistic commission at Spa against the behavior of the French authorities in the occu- pied Rhineland. French support of the Rhenish republic Is char acterized by the German govern ment as high treason against the empire. Strikes by dissatisfied Germans in the American occupied area called in protest against the formation of the republic ended quickly when the American com- manders issued a warning against the movement.
 The supreme council has been requested by the Lithuanian dele EatiOn to the peace conference to have an allied commission investi- gate reports of alleged pogrOms and other alleged disorders in Lithuanian.
