Such a combination would be an

House Likely TO BaIk.
The House will insist uron an
amendment to the Knox peace reso-
luton as passed by the Senate two
weeks ago. Republican Leader Mon
dell said yesterday.
The provision Of the Knox resolu-
.tion. to which certain House Re
publicans object. is the one rereai-
ing the war declaration. They hold
that this might later be considered
a reputation OF the principles for
which the United States entered the
war. Instead. they believe IL is suf-
ficient for this country to declare
that a state of peace exists. as pro-
vided in the resolution of Chairman n
Porter Of the House Foreign Affairs
Committee.
Action on the peace resolution
does not now appear probable until
the week beginning May %. Mon
dell said action this week was pos
sible. but not entirely probable"
Looks for Some Delay.
The German acceptance has
cleared up the situation to a great
extent" said Mondell. "Other things.
as We all know. are still in the way.
but 1 believe we can expect these
to clear up rapidly. What we de-
sire is that II be taken up at the
most opportune time.
AT best II would take several
days after the Foreign Affairs Com
mittee has been formally called TO
decide on the form OF the resolu-
tion. The majority OF the commit

CONGRESS RACES
COURT TOPREVENT
LANDING OF CABLE
Western Union Blocked
Because of British
Ownership.

A race Is on between the Western
Union Telegraph Company, the
State Department, Congress. and the
United States Supreme Court over
connecting up the telegraph com
pany's cable from Barbados with
Miami, Fla.
Acting under admitted pressure
from the State Department, the
House Interstate Commerce Com
mittee yesterday voted to report for
final passage tomorrow the Kellogg
bill prohibiting the company from
laying the cable within the three
mile limit.
Decision Due Tomorrow.
The Supreme Court tomorrow is
expected to hand down its decision
on the suit brought by the Western
Union company to restrain President
Harding and the State Department
from interfering with the laying of
the cable
State Department officials, ac-
cording to members Of the House
fear the Supreme Court
may decide against the President
and Secretary Hughes in the contro-
versy. The committee hopes to
forestall the courts decision by
calling up the bill as soon as the
House meets tomorrow and passing
II without debate before the Su-
preme Court could hand down its
decision.
Has Passed senate.
The committee yesterday voted to
ask the House Rules Committee to-
morrow morning for a special rule
on the bill. SO that 1t can be called
up for final passage without ex-
tended debate. The measure already
has passed the Senate. The House
will ask the Rules Com
mittee to substitute the Senate bill
for a similar measure, introduced
by Representative Chindblom. of IL
linois. that is NOW on the House
calendar.
The telegraph company. armed
with a permit from President will
son. had finished laying the cable
last fall and was preparing to con-
meet 1t within the three-mile limit
at Miami. Fla. when the Navy De-
partment stepped in and prevented
It.
The State Department supported
the Navy Departments action. charg-
ing that the cable was British
owned. = controversy over the
Western Union company's contract
with the British owners of the ca
BILE ensued. and eliminated in Pres
ident Wilson's revoking the per-
nit The company then brought suit
for the right to land the cable.
Should President Harding sign
the Kellogg bill before the Supreme
Court hands down its decision. COM
pany officials claimed. he would have
been given the disputed power. and
there would be no question before
the Supreme Court to decide.

DRIVEN INSANE
BY SONS SUICIDE,
HEDEFIES ARREST
Virginian Is Taken After
Holding Officers at
Bay for Hours.

Defying arrest under a threat to
take his own life. William Dabney,
So years old. who suddenly became
news of the suicide of his soldier
son in France, held Arlington
County officials at bay for several
hours before being captured last
night at 6:15 near his home. about
a mile west of Alexandria.
Taken to Arlington Jail.
He was finally captured by Deputy
Sheriff 2. o. Kines. G. F. Marcy
and Arthur H. Richards. who over
powered him by leaping from an au-
tomobile as Dabney was about to
turn the gun on them. He was
taken to the Arlington County Jail.
where he will be held under investi-
cation.
Dabney was brooding over the
death OF his son Garland. 20 years
old, who. according to the War De-
partment, took his own life IN
France twenty-four hours after he
married a French girl.
Drove Family From Home.
Dabney suddenly became de-
ranged and chased his wife and four
children from the home, also his
sister, with her 4-year-old daugh-
ter. who was visiting at his home.
They took refuge with the family of
Sheriff Arthur H. Richards, a neigh
Dor, who organized a posse to cap
ture Dabney.
Warned He Would shoot.
home he barricaded himself in the
rear of the first floor. where he
held the officers at bay with a
double-barreled shotgun.
Several attempts were made to
storm the door, but each time Dab
uey opened the window and warned
them that he would shoot to kill'
If they took a step nearer the home.
Said Good-by to Family.
The officers finally spoke to Dab
ney of his unkind treatment to his
family and he asked that his family
be told to come home.
When they had returned Dabney
bade them good-by, and still armed
with his gun, walked down the
state road. At short distance
from the house he was captured by
the three Arlington officials.
Dabney is employed as a car in
spector at the Potomac freight
yards and was considered a sane
and consistent worker. Yesterday
when Dabney was notified that his
sons body had arrived in New York
he realized the report of his sons
suicide was true. This caused his
complete mental arrangement, ON
cials believe.
