GEORGE
SCORES VICTORY
in THE HOUSE
Receives Vote Of Conf
dence 372 To 81 In the
House of Commons
Yesterday-Clears Po-
little al Atmosphere,
Leaving No Doubt AS
To G rnm e n t
Strength

London, April 4.-(By the Associ-
ated Press'-The overwhelming vic
tory of Lloyd George in the house of
commons yesterday when he was
given the confidence of the house by
a vote of 372 to "a, has had the ef-
feet of a quick, violent thunderstorm
in clearing the political atmosphere.
Apparently nettled by intimations
that he was dOdging a direct vote OF
confidence in presenting his res0lu-
ticn calling for support of the gov
ernment's policy toward the Genoa
conference, the premier threw down
the gauntlet early in the debate and
declared the cabinet would stand or
fall on the result OF the division.
The result left no doubt as to the
strength of the government
The opposition centered it's attack
behind the laborite amendment,
which have declared lack of conf
dence in the government. When that
went down in an avalanche of mays
the issue was as good as decided and
the subsequent debate was almost
perfunctory.
The fight against the coalition,
however, has not been abandoned and
Sir William josef William Johnson
Hicks, unionist, plans to put forward
in the house tomorrow a motion to
the effect In the opinion of this
house. lack of confidence in the pol
icy of the present coalition govern
ment can only be remedied by the
establishment of ministry composed
of men united by identity or of po-
litical principles"

Washington, April 4.-JOint con-
gressional hearings on the admins
tration's merchant marine bill were
begun today with Republican leaders
confident the House would be able to
act on the measure before the close
of the present session but generally
doubtful as to whether the Senate
would find time to dispose OF it un-
til after Congress reconvenes in De
cember. Sitting in joint sessions the
Senate commerce committee and othe
House merchant marine and fisheries
committee plan to first hear the tes-
timony of the shipping board officials,
with Chairman Lasker as the initial
witness, and then to ascertain the
views of both proponents and oppo-
nents of the legislation. Members of
both committees were generally OF
the opinion the hearings would con-
tinue for a month or more.
Prepared by shippin gboard officials,
with the approval of President Hard
ing, identical bills proposing govern
ment aid for the United States mer-
chant marine are pending before both
committees. They were introduced
simultaneously by Chairman Jones of
the Senate committee and Chairman
Greene of the House committee i'm
mediately after the President on Feb
2S, addressing a joint session of the
Senate and House, urged adoption of
a "far sighted" merchant marine pol
icy.
Contrary to the usual custom of
Senate and House committees holding
separate hearings, those to which the
administration bill was decided in an
effort to speed up action on the meas
ure to join in the holding of public
hearings. At their conclusion, it was
indicated today by the chairmen of
the committees, conferences will be
held between members of the two
groups to reconcile differneces of
opinion so that the bill will come up
for consideration in both houses in
practically the same form.
Mr.. Lasker had announced that in
his opening statement to the commit
tees he would declare the shipping
board believes that any free compe-
ton with the privately owned ship
ping of the world, through successful
government operation, is an impossi-
bility. Government operation of ships
in the opinion of the shipping board
head. is not only costly failure, but
driving private owners off the seas
without accomplishing anything.

RADICALS WANT
OTTO FOR KING
OF AUSTRIA

Budapest. April 4. - With the
death of Charles. crowned king of
Hunyarf the provisional constition,
which was based on the fact that the
king was prevented from exercising
his prerogatives, must be redrafted
by the assembly about to be elected
Further postponement of Hungary s
choice of a form of government has
became impossible and through the
coming electionsI the people must
decide the question, and elect king
if the monarchial form is preferred.
Candidates for the throne are be-
ginning to spring up again, strong
parties forming for the support OF
the arch dukes Albrecht nd Joseph
Ferdinand. but many deputies are
reviving the proposal for the election
of an English prince The party
favoring Francis Joseph Otto. eldest
son OF the dead Monarch. however,
is unquestionably the strongest.
Although the legitimatists are unit
ed on platform upholding the
claims of Otto and their program is
drawing more radicals, the indica-
tions are tht Charles death has
strengthened the position of the gov
ernment of Admiral Horthy the re-
gent. The menace of Putsch, or
uprising, has lost its acuteness, and
the opinion is growing that Otto will
lose the support of those pro Haps-
burgs who founded Charles claim to
the throne on the fact Of his coron-
alton.
The government is conceding the
legitimist desires for national mourn
ing as for a sovereign, and also has
stated that there is no objection to
the burial of Charles in Hungary, IL
he expressed such wish in his tes-
lament.
As regards the claims put forward
for Otto, the government insists that
the rights of all the Hapsburgs we're
abrogated bv the dethronement act
ressed in tn national assembly and
that even the election of Otto. which
is now barred by law. depends upon
the consent OF the allied powers.

and reported the matter to the Lake
land police. A short time later
James White. colored. was arrested
near Auburndale by Officer McCran

the neighborhood for Russell Wolf and

temptation of milking off with it.
When arrested he said he was head
ed for South Carolina.
