ARTILLERY BATTLE MAY PRESAGE DRIVE R' OTTAWA. Ont.. July 24. The con scription bill passed the House of Com mons today by a majority of 54. It now goes to the Senate, where its speedy enactment into law is assured by the presence of a substantial major ity supporting the government. The majority today upon the thlitl reading in the Commons was nine be low that given, when the principle of conscription was adopted on second reading. This was due to absence of a. number of conscriptionists. There was no practical change in the liueup. Knglish-speaking conservative members voted solidly for the bill tuid 22 of the Knglish-speaking Liberal sup porters of Sir Wilfrid Laurier broke away and voted for the government measure. The remainder of Sir Wilfrid's fol lowers voted with him against con scription, and they were Joined by five French members, who were elected to support the government. Lnglish Vote for Conscription. The vote for conscription was almost entirely Knglish and the vote against It was very largely .French. Before the vote was taken an appeal for the measure was made by J. G. Turriff, a Liberal member, whose only son was killed in France. lie opposed (submission of conscription to the peo ple by either referendum or general election, because it would be defeated by the votes of slackers who had failed to respond to the call for volunteers. Chief Liberal Whip Pardee declared for conscription and coalition government. It was admitted that conscription would be defeated if submitted to the people, but the government was pre pared to carry the measure by its par liamentary majority and apply it to the country by coercion. Sir Wilfrid Laurier said from the bottom of his heart lie wished the re sources of Canada would allow the sending of not merely a half million, lut a million men, but it was a question of how many men could be taken from the nation without imperiling the in dustrial and agricultural industries and the very life of the country. Conscription to He Issue. The government had sought 500.000 men, he declared, without estimating the man power of the country or con sidering whether men could be best employed on the fighting line or at home producing food and munitions for the forces fighting at the front. Can ada had not only to produce food for Kngland, but to make up for food be ing sent to the bottom by submarines. The government's position was out lined by Solicitor-General Meighen. He said the Canadian soldiers would be unable to vote, no matter what effort was made to provide them with the opportunity. He said that Sir Wilfrid's followers had broken away from him in the House because a large majority of the thinking people of Canada were against the position taken by the opposition leader. If Canada did not continue to support with recruits the men sent to the front it would mean betrayal and disgrace. "We must never pay for harmony In Canada with national dishonor," he said. The Senate Is expected to pass the conscription measure within 10 days. Dissolution of Parliament is looked for and a general election in September, "With conscription as the issue. ACCOUNTANTS ARE CHOSEN Recommendation Made for Auditing Books of City. Alexander Young & Co., public ac countants, are recommended by City Commissioner Kellaher for the contract to audit the city's books next year. The si mount of the Young Company's bid is $1475, which is the lowest bid of any submitted. Names of accountants were submitted to the city by the grand jury in ac cordance with a provision of the city charter. Some accountants have com plained because their names were not submitted, and therefore they had no opportunity to submit bids. Commis sioner Kellaher ruled that this was the fault of the grand jury and not of the city, and therefore he refused to ask the grand jury to increase its list of accountants. BY LEONE CASS BAER. EADIN'G any interview given out by Denman Maley is about as ex citing as a half hour's perusal of the pages of the telephone book. At least you can read a lot of names you know in the 'phone book and maybe get a number. For real variety Polk's Di rectory is better copy. Copy, you may know, if you're at all up on newspaperish terms, means well, it means copy good material. Denman Maley isn't just now. Eight months ago, I'll wager, he was the one best bet in the "Very Good Eddie" company, when it came time for the manager to beg an interview. For he is funnier off than on and his sense of comedy works overtime. He is one of the rare joys in Eastern theatricals and it's only by accident that we got him out here in this show. He's been here but once in 15 years. Marriage Makes Difference. Eight months ago he was good copy because then Denman Maley was only Denman Maley, comedian extraordinary. Today he is Olive Reeves Hyphen Smith's husband. Moreover, he glories in the fact. When they glory in it and Invite con versation about it. I've always found that the best thing is just to listen and. out of all the mush, pick out what ever sane or sensible observations there may be if any and confine my in terview to that alone. Of course I met Mrs. Maley. She Is adorable, and, cynic though I am. 1 cannot blame him. She's English, fair and fascinating, golden of hair and voice, the daughter of H. Reeves Hy phen Smith, who is quite a personage in the English stage world, and she gave up a regular job and all sorts of a future as Olive Reeves-Smith, actress, to become Mrs. Denman Maley and just travel around as atmosphere in the company where her husband stars. She had a perfectly good job as a principal in another of the Marbury Comstock. shows when she met Mr. Maley. After three. weeks of what the story writers call "ardent courtship" Miss Reeves Hyphen Smith decided to let her prospects as an electric-lighted star go hang and trotted off to a church around a corner where she became Mrs. Denman Maley. Lasting Tie Is Suspected. That was eight months ago. I be lieve it will last. They do say that the first 25 years are the hardest to stick through, but eight months is really a test. They're still honeymooning. Every day they ride horseback or walk, or motor somewhere.

"We've stood under more waterfalls and visited more libraries and muse urns than I dreamed the world held,' added Mrs. Maley. "And I can just walk up to a hill and tell her that this is the highest mountain on the Coast and she believes it." added the husband "I do not." put in the bride Indig nantly, jabbing her needle through the something-or-other she was embroid ering. "For the soldiers?" I queried. "No-o,' she said; "for my husband "What is it going to be?" asked, that individual turning it over. "It's a towel; a guest towel,'" said his wife. "But my initial." said Mr. Maley, "is not W." "W," echoed his devoted spouse, "of course it isn't W. Whoever said it was?" t "Well, that's a W, you're embroid ering," said the husband. Mrs. Denman MaUy turned the sassy little utterly useless towel around and gazed in consternation at the' initial "So it is," she sighed mournfully. "I bought it for an M." "Never mind, dearie." her husband said. "I'll stand on my head when I i use It. MAJOR SEEKS DIVORCE BATTALION HEAD SATS WIFE'S VIS ITS AT CAM I ANNOY. W. F.

Daugherty, Third Battalion, Oregon National Guard, stationed at Cainp Withycombe. today filed suit here for divorce from his wife. Susan Anna, whom he married on June 28. 1S16. In his complaint Major Daugherty, who formerly was a mail carrier in Portland and whose home is at 168 Thirteenth street there, alleges that his wife annoys him by her frequent visits at Camp Withycombe at times when female visitors are not permit ted to visit the camp.
