THE MOUNTING OREGONIAIf, SATURDAY, JUJOB 3, 1923 SERIATE VOTES FUND FOR 133,000 ARMY SOUTH CHINA RULER DAUGHTER OF WEST VIRGINIA SENATOR TO WED. illil NORTH 2 DO YOU $341,750, COO Measure Now Goes to Conference. ACTION HELD COMPROMISE Hard Fight, However, Expected Before House Agrees to In crease From 115,000. WASHINGTON, D. C, June 2. The annual army appropriation bill, carry ing an appropriation of $341,750,000, was passed late today by the senate. It fixes the size of the army for the next year at an average of 12,530 of ficers and 133,000 men. Passage of the bill which was with out a record vote followed quickly after a test vote, by which the senate accepted, 49 to 21, its committee's ac tion in Increasing the house figure on the size of the army from 115,000 to 133,000 enlisted men. The strength of 12,630 officers compares with 11,000 as voted by the house. The senate disposed of the bill spedily, the measure being taken up for the first time today and passed within six hours. All committee amendments except those affecting the size of the army were acted upon within three hours, constituting what was regarded as almost a record by the senate. Tangle Lasts for Hour. The measure now goes to confer ence with the house but it is not ex pected that the discussions will begin before Tuesday. Next to the question as to the size of the army, the proposition causing most debate, was the amendment submitted by the agriculture com mittee appropriating J7.6O0.000 for continuation of work on the Muscle Bhoals' project, which the senate ac cepted without a record vote after a parliamentary tangle, which lasted for an hour. The Muscle Shoals amendment promised for a time to reopen the whole question of the government's policy with respect to the power project, but Chairman Norrls of the agriculture committee declared that no policy had been determined and that to delay work further on dam No. 2 in Tennessee- river would be "an economic crime." Action Held Compromise. Although the army strength agreed upon by the senate was regarded as a compromise between the figure of 150 000 sought by the war department and that fixed by the house, senators expect a hard fight before an agree ment is reached with the house. Party lines were broken when the test vote was taken. Nine democrats voted with the republioan majority in upholding the senate committee, while six republicans were counted In the negative. Democrats voting for the 133,000 army included Ashurst, Gerry, Heflin, Kendrick, Myers, Shep pard, Smith, Underwood and Williams; republicans, who voted against the proposition wereBorah, Capper, Ladd, La Follette, Norris and Willis. In opening debate on the army strength Mr. Wadsworth declared the committee believed "rock bottom had been reached and that to make fur ther reductions would Imperil not v. orrrtv orff-ji n Ization as con- ; templated by the reorganization act Of lazO, DUt create a jiieiwi.& tlon for the country in event of un foreseen troubles. It would be "utter folly," he added to mangle the skele ton of the army so that it could not be revived, in an emergency. Seaeoast Fort Mentioned. Mr "Wadsworth referred to the sea coast fortifications, saying only 25 of the 75 were now manned, and that a further cut In the forces would leave an additional 10 or a dozen in the hands of caretakers-. Senator Hitchcock. democrat, Ne braska, replying to this statement, contended that the country would approve a. cut in the army even below the house figures, and added: "Our army is efficient.

At torney Presmont stated that extradi tion of Durbin to Ohio had been re quested, a similar charge having been placed against him in Cleveland. Senator Watson, without mention ing thA nnrbln case, except by infer ence, declared the youth was arrested by a Burns detective 15 minutes after leaving his (Senator Watson's) office on a check forgery charge, which the senator said was a year and a half old. Young Durbin, said Watson., had informed him regarding an alleged release by the attorney-general of the British steamer J. M. Young at New York, after seizure in violation of the prohibition laws. ' "This is Just strong-arm methods. Burns methods," declared Senator Watson. "The country will question this sudden rebirth of an old case so soon after he had been in a senator's office. Can the attorney-general re main silent after this? Do these men think public sentiment of the country can be defied?" . William J.

PEKIN. June . (By the Associ ated Press.) Sun Yat Sen, president of the South China republic, who has failed to reply to proposals to join Wu Pel Fu and members of the old republican parliament in their pro gramme to reunite the north and south, is reported continuing his hostile march northward at the head of 30,000 men. Sun Yat Sen, with his troops, is re ported to have reached the city of Kanchow, province of Kiangsi, from which he is expected to launch a drive against Nanchang, capital of Kiangsi. It is reported here that the capture of Nanchang would be fol lowed by a descent into the fertile "valley of the Y"angtse river. Advices received from the south indicate that Sun Yat Sen, who backed Chang Tso-Lin, the loser in the recent short-lived campaign, still remain hostile to the victor, Wu Pel Fu. Sun also is expected to question the legality of the session of the old republican parliament held yesterday at Tientsin. Enemies on All Sides. The present situation in China ap pears to indicate that Sun Yat Sen stands between two fires. To the north is Wu Pel Fu, backed by a well-trained army, flushed with its recent victory over Chang Tso-Lin. At Wu's back is Tsao Kun, military power of the north, and the members of the old republican parliament of China; to the south is Chen Chiung Ming, outstanding military leader in that territory, formerly a supporter Sun Yat sen, but who a few days ago demanded that Sun resign the presi dency of the South China republic. Chen's troops are said to be between Sun and his capital at Canton. - The foreign office announced today that martial law had been proclaimed in Chihli province. The ostensible reason for the proclamation is that disbanded soldiers of Chang Tso Lin's army are operating as bandits, but the order is believed to be a pre cautionary step to assure the security of delegates arriving to attend the reopening of the old republican par liament. Ex-President Quits Palace. Hsu Shih-Chang late today passed from the presidential palace in the "forbidden city" into private life. A few observers near the gates saw the tall, stalwart figure of the man who resigned the presidency yesterday as his part in the pro gramme for the unification of his country, - walk from the palace, get into a waiting automobile and drive away to his private residence. He plans to go to Tientsin. Chow Tsu-Chi, acting premier, who was educated in the United States, has assumed temporarily the conduct of the government ' Friends of the retiring president requested , the . American, British, French and Japanese legations to send their military attaches to escort Hsu Shih-Chang to Tientsin, but the request was denied. The ex-chlef executive said: "It is impossible to describe the sadness which touches me, but I am happy that capable men have arisen to deal with the situation." The ex-president departed from the capital this afternoon on a special train for Tientsin. Shortly before his departure he attended a luncheon given in honor of Dr. Wellington Koo, tne umnese ambassador - to London. Armed guards were detailed to the station and the platform was crowded with offiicals who came to say fare wells. A band of musicians was pro- viaea zor tne occasion. Harding Is Praised. In a public address Just before his departure, Hsu praised President Harding and Secretary- of State Hughes highly for their interest and work in the Washington arms con ference, which had resulted, he said. in placing China's foreign relations on a more favorable basis. Referring to the United States as China's truest friend, the ex-president added that, as the result of her un selfish attitude toward China, America had become the dominant influence in China's foreign relations. President Harding and Secretary Hughes, he said, were examples of the type of public men needed in China. He called attention to the in creasing number of American-educated Chinese as a hopeful sign for China's future. . 1 630 TO GET DIPLOMAS Clackamas Students to Assemble at Gladstone Park.
