A. w L1.S1I, Lovavl l i'iMiKr Stolypin Defends His Policy Before Council of Empire Saya Order Was Due to Extraordinary Conditions and Challenges Right of Council to Question It. RT. PETERSBURG. April 14. The coun cil of the empire today heard ITemler Stolypln's explanation In regard to the In terpellations attacking tho government which the council adopted In solemn sea- elon April , following a discussion devoted to critlelHm of the government's action In promulgating the Zemstvo bill by Imperial prerogative during an artificially crratee recess of the council and the Duma. The prime minister In a forty-mtnut speech, denied the right of legislative bodies to examine Into the nature of the extraordinary circumstances which were the motive for the Issuance of legislation by Imperial prerogative In accordance with paragraph S7 of the fundamental laws of the empire. The determination of such circumstances, M. Stolypin declared, was subject to the sole competence of the monarch, based on the representations of the cabinet. The government contends that extraordinary circumstances may precede dissolution or adjournment of the two legislative cham bers, which Is an Indisputable prerogative of the crown, the premier continued, and the government maintains the Interpreta tion placed on paragraph 87 of the funda mental laws by the council of the empire Is wrong and lnacceptaole. Returning to the circumstances obliging the government to resort to paragraph 8 when Imperial legislative measures were threatened, M. Stolypin said the rejection of the Zemstvo bill by the council of the empire meant the wrecking of the Rus sian national policy. After Premier Stolypin had concluded his speech, an order of the day declaring that the theses of the Interpellation had not been shaken by the prime minister's explanation was passed, by a vote of 99 to 63. The vote just failed of a two-thirds majority, which would have Imposed sub mission of the matter to his majesty. Count Olsufleff. In closing the debate, de- clared It was useless to enact laws If the ministers played cards with them.

PUBLICITY BILL TASSESIN HOUSE Democratic Party Meets First Serious Trouble During Discussion of Rucker Measure. REPUBLICANS NARROWLY BEATEN Minority Party Gets Rid of Most Important Amendment. CONGRESS CANDIDATES TO FILE Must Show Expenses in Both Primary and Election. PUBLICITY BEFORE THE ELECTION C ommittees Mast File fttatrmeals Tea Days Before Yotlnar Darin De. bate Good aya Moraran Aided Democrats la Iowa. WASHINGTON. April 14.-The democratic party met its first serious trouble In the house of representatives today. At the close of a session marked by the activity of in surgents in the democratic ranks, by reason of which the republicans narrowly mlesed scoring a triumph, the house passed the Rucker bill for publicity of campaign con tributions before election. The fight arose over the extent to which publicity should be applied. But for the vigorous and continued use of the demo cratic party whip an Important republican amendment extending publicity to the In dividual receipts and expenses of candi dates for congress, would have been re tained In the bill when It finally passed. Aa it was. the amendment was aHnnt-ri over the protest of the democratic leaders, by the support of fifty-two democrats who voted with the solid republican strength. Resort to a parliamentary move enabled the democrats later to get rid of the amend ment; but twenty-eight of their number refused to change their attitude, and stuck with the republicans in opposing the demo cratic majority. The Rucker bill passed finally by a unani mous vote, but only after a stormy scene. The amendment offered by Representative Jackson, a new republican member from Kansas, required all candidates for con gress Jo file statements of the source and use of their Individual campaign funds. In both the primary and general election, 'fie amendment met Instant support from the republican side and encountered the opposi tion of the democratic leaders. The Rucker bill, as finally passed, makes more stringent the campaign publicity law passed In 19W. That law requires publicity of funds after election. The Rucker bill will require publicity of funds by the cam paign committee ten days previous to elec tion and the filing of supplemental state ments every three day thereafter until elerion day. , The Rpcker bill limited publicity of cam paign expenditures to sums of I10O or (over, but Mr. Rucker accepted, an amendment of Mr, Kopp, republican of Wisconsin, re quiring the publicity, of all payments In sums of $10 or over for campaign purposes. Throughout the debate Perry Belmont, piesldent of the Natloal Publicity Law association and a former member of the houe, occupied a aeat on the floor.
