ONLY REPUBLICAN
- AGIINliUPURE
Many Democrats Support Bil]
Declaring War with Germany
many and Austria at End
Senate May Acoept Plan.
Washington, June 14.—Tho House
late Monday adopted the Porter res
-elutlon re-establishing a technical
-state of peace with Germany and
Austria. The vote wae S05 to 61
with many democrats supporting the
measure, a disarmament amendment
to the resolution, offered by demo
crats House leaders, was defeated.
146 to 112 on a strlot party vote.
Why Kelley Voted "No.”
One republican, Kelley of Michi
gan, voted against the Porter reso
lution. During the bitter debate that
preceded the vote he explained that
ne was opposed to It because he did
not believe peace actually could be
'restored through such an enactment
of congress.
Forty-nine democrats bolted their
party leadership and voted with the
republicans for adoption of the res
oiuuon.
Sooialiat Offer* Substitute.
After five hour* of debate, Repre
sentative London, socialist of New
York, offered a substitute for the
porter measure, providing for an In
ternational conference to "adjust
peace," specifically declaring for the
bcrapping of the Versailles treaty and
declaring that all lnter-allled debts
should be cancelled. It was ruled out
of order.
A point of order was made against
the motion by Representative Rogers,
'republican, of Massachusetts, on the
ground that it sought to greatly en
large the scope of the Porter measure.
Defeat Move for Rights.
Representative Flood moved that
the bill be recommitted with instruc
tions and that It be reported back to
the House with the following amend
ment Inserted In the section of the
Porter resolution reserving American
_rlgha:
“Among the said advantages
and rights so reserved, special
reservation^* made of the right*
stipulated for under the said
treaty of Versailles to enter Into
agreement with Germany and her
allies and the powers associated
with the United States In the war,
providing for Joint disarmament.”
The motion was defeated, 254 to 112,
and the House then adopted the origi
nal Porter resolution.
The peace measure declares that the
war with Germany and Austria-Hun
gary Is at an end, and that the Unit
ed States reserves all rights and priv
ileges secured under the armistice and
under the treaties of Versailles and
Trainon and under the act of congress
authorizing the alien property custo
dian to seize German property In th«
United States during the war.
Substitute for Knox Measure.
The Porter resolution was adopted
•as a substitute for the Knox resolu
tion passed by the Senate two months
ago. The Knox resolution repealed
the declarations of war against Ger
many and Austria-Hungary. House
republican leaders opposed that pro
vision, declaring It might be con
strued as a repudiation of the action
of the United States in entering the
'war.
The Porter measure was drafted as
a sub by the republican members of
the House foreign affairs committee
with the approval of President Hard
ing.
Now Goes to Conference.
The peace measure now goes to con
ference between the Senate and the
House.
Republican House leaders say they
expect the resolution will remain In
conference for two or three weeks.
Senate leaders already have express
ed their willingness to accept the
House substitute measure provided
they are assured that President Hard
ing prefers It to the Knox resolution.
Conferences between Senate and
House leaders will be held later In
the week to ascertain the views of the
.president.

Ritz, can then do two hours’ shop

hood and following afternoon tea,
catches a special air taxi back to
London.
If the latest thing In evening gowns
is among her purchases there Is no
reason why she should not wear It for
dinner at the Savoy on the evening
of the same day.
From Monday's evening express
from Paris eight women and only
one man descended. Each of the
women had a parcel of clothes with
her.
The journey adds $50 to the cost of
the purchases but that is regarded
as Insignificant when the buyer can
show her London friends creations
that were in a Rue La Palx show

ENDSAT MEETING
^VuwBHHauiBHaHnHHHwf
In Conference Between Las
ker, Davis and Representa
tives of Unions.
Washington, June 14.—"The marine
strike la ended," Secretary of Labor
Da via announced Monday night.
The announcement came after a day
of conferences between Mr. Davis,
Admiral Benson, retiring chairman
o# the shipping board, and A. D. Las
ker who was Monday sworn In as
chairman of the board.
The agreement was signed by Ad
miral Benson, Mr. Lasker, W. L.
Brown, president of the Marine En
gineers’ Association, and Secretary
Davis. Monday night Mr. Brown no
tified all locals of his organisation to
return to their poets which they left
on May 1 when the shipping board put
into effect a wage reduction of 15 per
cent.
Private Owners Net Included.
Private owners were not a party to
the agreement reached nor were orga
nisations of the ship cooks and stew
ards, common seamen, oilers and fire
men, all of whom are on strike. The
marine engineers are the most skilled
and lndlspenslble of the marine work
ers, however, and It Is generally con
ceded that other organizations will
have to follow their lead if they re
turn to work.
As the shipping board owns four
sevenths of the American merchant
shipping, private owners probably
will be forced to accede to the agree
ment reached Monday, It was pointed
out.
Engineers Are Jubilant.
The engineers were jubilant that
they have secured what they claim to
be a point against which both Ad
miral Benson and the private ship
owners held out for weeks—recogni
tion of the union.
“This recognition was not made a
formal part of the contract,” said
President Brown, '.‘but to sign an
agreement with us is the same as rec
ognition.’’
The same view that recognition had
been accorded the union was express
ed by Secretary Davis.
The terms of the settlement practi
cally are the same aa proposed by tha
shipping board and refused by unions
of seamen.
To Oust Brown?
Mr. Brown refused to comment on
the threat of the New York local to
oust him from his office. In signing
the agreement, he said, he felt that he
had obtained the best terms possible.
Private ship owners will be Invited
to slgn the agreement Tuesday.

DENBY REFUSES
TO ACCEPT RLE
SIIUSSUT
Won't Take for Granted Cer
tain Parts Were Garbled—
Admiral Will Declare He
Tried to Be Humorous?
Washington, June 14.—Secretary
Denby will not accept at face value
all the statement Of Rear Admiral
William 8. Sims that parts of his
famous speech in London were badly
garbled, it was learned Monday, al
though Secretary Denby refused for
mal comment on this subject
It was learned that Mr. Denby did
not, in the first place, content him
self with cabling Admiral Sims for
an explanation of th# speech but al
so cabled other sources, probably the
Amciljan naval attache In London,
for a complete report on the speech,
its manner of making, the manner In
which the press received it and the
various accounts of the speech as
glvsn by different newspapers and
correspondents.
Big Cass Against 8ims Looms.
It is to be the report that Secretary
Denby receives from hla sources. It
was learned, and not Admiral Sims*
own explanation of his speech that Is
to constitute the basis of the indict
ment against him. Dus considera
tion will be given everything Sims
says and hla account of his speecn
will form part of the, record of the
case, but Secretary Denby does not
Intend to permit the Sims account of
the speech to be the only version con
sldersd. It Is said. On this basis it
appears that there Is a considerable
case against Admiral 81ms, It is
Doint#td out
Hasn't Acknowledged Receipt,
Secretary Denby baa never re
ceived a reply from Admiral Sims to
the message ordering him home at
once despite the flat order for the
admiral to "acknowledge receipt."
The secretary admitted that Monday
but Insisted there was nothing signifi
cant In the delay. .
‘There Is absolutely nothing for
me to say about the Elms case to
day.” said Mr. Denby In answer to
all question*.
Interviewers seeking to draw com
ment from him on the latest Sims
statement that "be stood by his
speech whatever happens” met with
the same answer. Naval officers ex
pect no further action from the sec
retary before Admiral Sims’ arrival.
Stern disciplinary measures at that
time would be no surprise to ithe
same officers, It is learned.
BY ROBERT J. PREW,
London, June 14.—"There are cer
tain Inaccuracies In all of the pub
lished reports of my speech, but that
I had in mind when I cabled that ths
reports were garbled, were the ex
tracts sent me by Secretary iSenby."
This was the answer of Hear Admiral
William S. Slme here Monday when I
asked him the pointed question:
"In view of your charge, Admiral
Sims, that the reports of your "Eng
lish-Speaking Union speech were
garbled, will you say what reports
you refer to?”
"I refer to the extracts, which Sec
retary Denby cabled me,” said the
admiral.
A Remarkable Similarity.
"There Is a remarkable similarity.”
I reminded him, "between the reports
printed on Wednesday morning by
three London newspapers with unim
peachable reputations for accuracy—
The Times, The telegraph and The
Post. These versions which agree
with the reports that the Amerioaa
correspondents cabled to their pa
pers have been reprinted in New
York this morning to allow the publie
to Judge whether ths correspondents
misunderstood you. Do you allege
that these English reports are in
accurate ?"
“There are certain lnaocuraoies in
all of the published reports of my
speech but ell that 1 had In mind
when I cabled (hat the reports wsre
garbled, were the extracts sent me
by Secretary Denby.”
"Will you state exactly what among
those extracts you take exception
to?” I then asked him.
Rsfuses to Qo Into Dstsll.
“I cannot go Into detail now,” said
Admiral Blms. “When I get to Wash
ington I will repeat exactly what I did
say."
At this time Admiral Sims had Just
received Secretary Denby’s recall,
but Be refused to discuss It. He
takes the view now that hie speeches
have become a big official Incident
and that it Is his duty to reserve for
Secretary Denby the right to all
comment on them.
Last Thursday when It was ra
ported In London that Secretary Den
by had expressed his amassment at
the admiral’s speech, I showed Ad
miral Sims the report of the speeob
as printed by the Evening Standard.
This report agreed In all essentials
with the Universal Service report of
the speech. I asked Admiral 81ms If
that report was accurate. He said:
’’Yes, that Is all right."

Toddle and Shimmy
Chicago, Junp 14.—J. Louis Cuyon,
ow ner of the largest public dance hall
in Chicago, went before the Episcopal
clergymen of the city Monday and
asked them to do all In their power
to suppress “modern dances" and jass
music.
He was unsparing of his denuncia
tion of the toddle, the shimmy and
the camel walk. He blamed society
leaders "for setting such styles In
dances and music.”
“And there" he' added, ‘lies the
remedy.
"Prevail on our society leaders and
the people who set the styles to re
frain from attending any gathering
where men and women go a humming
and wiggle to the noises of a jask
orchestra and muoh will be accom
plished In the way of eliminating In
decent dancing.”
He classed the late wiggle stops
with “white mule," but eald that such
dancing as the waits and two-step la
the "poetry of motion.”
SALES TAX DEAD,
ASSER11HAPOOOD
Dies Because Longer It Was
Discussed More Embar
rassed Beoame Its De
fenders, Says Writer.
BY NORMAN HAPQOOP.
Washington, June 14.—Our dear old
friend, the tax on salsa, who looked
•o ruddy a few short weeks ago, la
Sead. Drop a tear. This device was
eralded as an easy way of making
us forget that we had fought a war
and had to pay for it Great le the
disillusion.
Senator Reed Smoot Is a bopefitf
man and he does not know his friend
Is daad, but he Is almost the only one
who can hear any signs of Me.
Why did It die? The answer Is
much easier than It was In the leading
case of Cock Robin. The sales tax
died because the longer It was
cussed ths more embarrassed became
those who had the Job of defending It
To Clarenoe Darrow, famous de
fender of unpopular clients, a sympa
thetic friend once said, "aint It awful
to be misunderstood.” •'Yes,” said
Darrow, "But It Is not so as to be
suit became.
"Merely Reporting Faote,”
I am not discussing the absolute or
relative truth about the sales tax. I
am merely reporting the faote. The
Important fact In this case Is that the
longer this particular baby sat for
its photo the less decorative the re
sule became.
It takes a little whtle to get a bill
through congress. The people Who
wanted a galea tax had their first In
ning. They seemed to be scoring.
"This will raise a lot of money,” they
said. "You won’t notloe you are pay
ing for It. Then we can do away with
the excess profits tax and the special
taxes on higher Incomes. That will
remove discontent”
"Oh, Will It?"
"Oh, will It?” asked a lot of per
sons. Investigation, however, pro
duced disastrous results. It seemed
that what were called sales taxes were
different altogether from Mr. Smoot's
taxes and also doubt was cast on the
magnificence of the results.
Mr. Smoot’s tax operates on every
sale. Sometimes an article is sold
18 times or more In the process of
manufacture and distribution, before
It reaches the consumer. The largest
trusts are what we scholars call In
tegrated. That Is, those of us who
run the steel trust and such do not
have to buy and sell along the line.
Objectors Break In,
We control our sources of raw ma
terial, our mines, our railroads, our
factories of all kinds, so that from tha
mine to the consumer Is all one series
of operations under our control, with
out a sale. Where a competitor would
have to pay a sales tax 11 times we
have to pay It once.
"Is not that pretty hard on the or
dinary producer, competing with the
trust?” the objectors broke in.
“Maybe," was the answer, “but in
tegration la a good thing.”
The objectors did not know what
Integration meant but they tried an
other question: "Do you mean that
taxes favoring a monopoly are a good
thing”
The solona turned pale.
This la the story. The ultimate
truth Is not In my office. But the
facts are clear. The general tax on
sales Is dead.
EUROPE’S DANCE HEADS
INDORSE MODERN STEPS

Congress of Dancing Masters, with
all the countries of Europe repre

The "split-step” Is a dance to slow
music which Is all the rage in Paris.
The partners dance an ordinary slow
one-step for a few paces, then they
stop and face each other, put their
hands on each other's heads and
slowly slldie their feet apart until
almost touching the floor. From
this position they turn until one knee
rests on the floor; then they Inter

“Did You Authorize Afraid
Not to Fight Talk and Is
Colonel Reprimanded for
Remarks?”
Washington, June 1*.—President
Harding became involved Monday 1*
the agitation with which the Senat*
is seething over the sensational “Jack
ass" and "save our skins” speech#*
made In London recently by Rear Ad
miral Sims and Colonel Harvey, tn*
American ambassador to England.
In a resolution Introduced by Sen
ator Harrison, democrat of Mississippi
the president is requested to inform
the Senate whether he authorised
Ambassador Harvey to make his Lon
don speech In whloh he was quoted
as saying that the American people
"went Into the World war not be
cause they wanted to. but becaut*
they had to."
“Insult to Every Soldier.”
It also Inquires of the president
"whether he or through hts direction,
the secretary of state has protested or
reprimanded" Harvey for making th*
speech, which It deacnoee as an "si
front to vary American citizen and
an insult to evsry man who served
In the war.”
Another object of the resolution 1*
to determine whether the action ot
Secretary of the Navy Denby In or
dering Sims home, was taken at th*
direction of the president. It ala*
asks why Secretary of State Hughe*
has not Issued a similar order to Am
bassador Harvey, whose offense, It re
cites, was "much more reprehensible
and a greater provocation for his re
call" that' that of Admiral $lma.
Harrison Make* Address,
jn presenting the resolution, Sena
tor Harrison made a short speech In
which he declared that he had been
“amased to hear that Ambassador
Hary or Any other American citizen
should say that ’we were Afraid not
to flghf" ~
"As Intemperate as was the speeeh
of Admiral Sims," he oontlnued, "th*
Vile slander and base Insults uttered
by Colonel Harvey are far more rep
rehensible. I cannot believe that the
millions of brave lads In. our army and
navy went to war because they were
afraid ’not to fight.’ ”
The Harrison resolution Is a sequal
to one Introduced, by the same senator
Ipst week, calling for an. investigation
by the Senate naval affairs committee
or Admiral Sims’ speech. 1 The com
Slttee now is preparing to make this
Vestigatlon. ;
