SEEKING TO CURTAIL
TARIFF DISCUSSION;
FAIL TO SET DATE
tBy Associated Press)

WASHINGTON, Aug. 4.-The at
tempt to fix by unanimous consent a
date for a final vote on the admins
tration tariff bill appeared to have
been definitely abandoned today, but
private negotiations were under way
looking to at least some curtainment
of discussion. Some Republicans be-
lieved these might lead to results but
certain Democratic senators were un-
derstood to object to limitation of de-
bate until after the sections of the bill
dealing with duties on sugar and hides
had been disposed of.
While proceeding with debate on
the bill today the senate awaited a
report from the committee on conting-
ent expenses on the resolution intro
duced yesterday by Senator Gooding
of Idaho, chairman of the Republican
agricultural-tariff- block, proposing in
vestigation by a special senate COM
mittee into the financial interests of
senators or their relatives in any in
dustry, property or commodity affect
ed by the adoption or rejection of
duties proposed in the pending bill
Members of the committee indicated
that the resolution, which also pro-
posed inquiry into the amount of rev.
enue derived from importing depart
ment stores by newspapers owned by
senators or in which they were financ-
tally interested as well as those pub
lished by Frank A. Munsey, would be
modified in its provisions

lican and Democratic leaders yester

Greek government says it decided to
occupy Constantinopse in order to
bring about peace by means of decis-

Complaint is made that the allied

an obstacle to the proper exercise of
Greece's right as belligerent to put
an end to Turkish resistance by moral
and military action of Incompatible
Importance.
The Greek reply reiterates that con-
tinued relay in the conclusion of peace
will result in fresh calamities to the

aggravation of the whole eastern sit

Gratis to try to end the senate tariff
debate early, represents a decision ar

the best. policy to leave their case
where it is.
They think the expressions of dis
satisfaction voiced by themselves and
by others, both in the senate and
throughout the country, which came
to climax with charges of improper
interest in wool on the part of Re

the Democratic point of view, a per
