Tariff Fight Has Shifted to Sen
ate, but Final Vote Unlikely
Before August
Washington. The tariff fljrht has
hirted from the house, with its over
vhelniing Democratic majority, to the
senate, where the party's slim majori
ty of six already has been reduced, as
(ar as the bill is concerned, to four.
Vnless senators familiar w ith the prog
ress of such legislation are mistaken,
there is now little prospect of a fiuul
ote on the bill before August 1.
The bill's passage through the sen
ate will be fought at every step by
Republicans. Leaders of the Democrats
on the senate finance committee,
which will handle the bill, expressed
the belief that it would go through
In practically the same form as it
passed the house, and that their small
majority would stand firm to the last.
Democratic leaders acknowledge that
the two senators from Louisiana will
not accept the sugar schedule, and that
they might be willing to combine with
others to defeat the whole bill.
Five Democrats Vote Against Bill.
The Underwood tariff bill was pass
ed in the house by a vole of SSI to
139. Five Democrats voted against
the bill and two Republicans for it.

tive in congress from the Pacific north
west to vote for the bill. The solid ;
delegation from Oregou and Idaho
voted against the bill, as did the four
other members from Washington.
The Republicans who voted for the
bill were Cary and Stafford, of Wis
consin. Democrats who opposed it
were Eruussard. Dupre, Lazare and
Morgan, of Louisiana, and C. B. Smith,
cf New York. Progressives who voted
for the bill were Kelly and Rupley, of
Pennsylvania; Nolan, of California.
Kent, of California, formerly a Repub
lican, but now an Independent Pro
gressive, also voted for the bill. Pro
gressive Leader Murdeck and 13 of
his Progressive followers voted with
the minority in the final consideration
of the measure.

ASK JOHNSON TO
VETOJLIEN LAW
Bryan Requests California Gov
ernor Withhold Signature
Pending Negotiations.
Washington. The federal govern
ment's final effort to delay alien land
ewutng legislation tu California was
made when Secretary Bryan In the
name of President Wilson telegraphed
Governor Johnson notifying hltn that
the Japanese ambassador had earnest
ly protested agulust the bill passed by
the California assembly and urging
that the governor postpone action by
withholding his signature.
The decision of the administration
to urge Governor Johnson to use his
power of veto to postpone any land
emulation was reached after a aeries
of conferences between the president,
Secretary Bryan, and John Bassett
Moore, counsellor of the state depart
ment, and calls at the state depart
ment by Ambassador Chlnda. tt was
realised that any further attempt to
have the bill enacted by the California
legislature amended would be fruitless
since Secretary Hryau's trip f Sacra
mento was unavailing.
Whether or not the governor com
plies with the administration's request
there will probably be Important ne
gotiations between the United States
and Japan Immediately. If the land
bill Is vetoed the president and Secre
tary Bryan will have to undertake to
carry out their promise to accomplish
through diplomacy the end. sought by
the California!!.

ROOSEVELT CAN GET
ALBANIAN CROWN
London. Theodore Roosevelt can I
have the throne of Albania, If he wants '
It. The suggestion already has been !
carried to the point where the colonel !
has only to signify his willingness to
accept and the crown is his.
"If Roosevelt desires the kingship
of Albania we will put him ahead of
all others who have been named. 1 j
myself would certainly vote for him. ;
Roosevelt is one of the most extruor- j
dinarv men In the world, beinz bv na- '
ture on a higher plane than mere
princes."
This was the emphatic statement
made by Ismail Kemal, provisslonal
president of Albania, and leader of the
delegation from the Albanian people
authorized to find for them a ruler ac
ceptable to the ambassadorial confer
ence of powers.
The correspondent's audience with
Kemal took place In the Hotel Cecil,
where he is staying, accompanied by
his co-delegates, Louis Guracucchl,
minister of education, and Noggs, Kun
itza and Delejius. AH showed the
greatest Interest In and were evidently
surprised by a suggestion of Roose
velt as king.
POWERS TAKE SCUTARI
Admirals of International Fleet Enter
City Evacuated by Victors.
Vienna. The admirals of tire Inter
national fleet that blockaded Antlvari
and the Montenegrin coast, will take
formal possession of Scutari In the
name of the great powers of Europe
and resolving themselves into commis
sion, will govern the city until such
time as the powers arrange for its per
manent disposition. It will ultimately
become the capital of autonomus AI
bina; if present plans are unchanged.
Reluctantly, the last of the Montene
grin soldiers, with their siege guns
and lumbering wagons, 'left the cap
tured city.
Apparently peace is now almost es
tablished in the B.-i'r:ans unless Bul
garia and Greece fight over Salonika
and the powers have their armies en
trenched and a few slight brushes have
been reported, but these differences
w ill be arbitrated.
Suffragists Pay No Taxes.
London. Tax resistance as a means

British government to grant woman

"My New Studebaker"
There's a note of pride in the remark. To
own a Studebaker buggy is to own the finest,
classiest looking, lightest running vehicle on
the road.
Slender, yet sturdy wheels, flexible bent
reach gear of the new Studebaker pattern, well
froportioned, graceful lines, upholstery of the
ind that makes you want to lean back and
enjoy yourself, and the Studebaker double ironed
shafts, strong and shapely.
Why wouldn't any man be proud to own
a Studebaker?
