Lincoln, April 24.—In a six hour
session this afternoon the senate ad
vanced the blanket appropriations
hill to third tending and everything
indicates it will pass on third reading
tomorrow, thus placing it at the dis
posal of the house Thursday.
The total appropriations of the hill
as passed are approximately $600,000
more than the bill passed by the house.
% Idditions in the bill were several bun
deeds of thousands more than the
4000,000. However, a number of house
items were trimmed sufficiently to
make the total in the neighborhood
of only $600,000 more than the house
bill.
The bill as recommended by the seif
-ile finance committee was exactly
$100,000 less than the bill which was
advanced to third reading late tonight.
The $100,000 represents an addition
for the Yankton bridge talked on by
Keifenralh of Knox. The senate voted
16 to 13 in favor of this hike.
Less Than Budget.
Despite all additions made to the
bill it still calls for less in the way
of direct taxation than the budget
recommended by Governor Bryan. Fol
lowing is a comparison of the totals
necessary to raise by taxation under
the house bill, the senate bill and the
Hryan budget:
Bryan budget, $15,816,380.90: house
hill. $15,206,653.42; senate bill, $15,
816.709.42.
The senate bill takes care of appro
priations for existing activities in con
formity with tlie governors request
and the appropriations for the activi
ties are arranged in such a manner,
according to Senator Purcell, demo
crat, that they can be arranged to
dovetail with any subsequent bill that
may change the present method of
handling state activities.
Following are the chief increases, In
addition to state activities appropria
tions, of the senate bill over the house
bill:
Senate Rill Increase*.
STjXrw guaranty fund commission,
$.10,000; bureau of securities, $2.1.000;

nance Arbor lodge. Nebraska City,
i 10.000; eradication bovine tuber
culosis. $2S3,000; state railway com
mission, $40,000.
The principal reductions In ttie sen

from state normal schools. $20,000,
Wayne: $20,000, Peru; $22,000. Kear
ney; $17,000, Chadron; approximately
a 10 per cent reduction in salaries and
wages in ail departments of state gov
ernment, which totals more than
$100,000. and several good-sized reduc
tion* in buildings and repairs at state
institutions.
f Specific Cut* Attempted.
Numerous sttempts were made to
rut and-increase certain specific ap
propriations. The most notable were
Those of Korkin and Chambers of
Omaha, to reduce the JGO.OOO appro
piiation to $30,000 for law enforce
ment and Good of Hawes to put in
131,000 for state parks.
In addition to the totals raised by
direct taxation given out by the sen
rte finance commission $5,311,670.46 Is
reapproprhtterl for specific activities
from federal fund*, fer s and r ash
fund*. Iteapprrypristions of this money
i* marie by Governor Bryan In his
budget and by the house.
A fight was made by Good of Dawes
*ymd McGowan of Norfolk to put nor
rnfll school appropriations to the
figures in the house bills. Strendous
i bjection was made in that all other
educational Institutions had suffered
* deeper cut than the normal* and If
i he normal barkers continued the
fight the university people would re
fuse to maintain their present atti
tude of acceptance under protest of
university reductions.

another outbreak of the unrest
throughout thb Ruhr, which German

According to German accounts, sev

leader* attempted to present demands
to the city authorities, but the mayor
ordered the police to hold them off.
The crowd resented the efforts of the
Police and the collision followed.
The men, as in other similar dem
onstrations, had formulated demands
for free supplies of potatoes, In
creased municipal employment allow
ances and a certain amount of shoes
and clothing. These demands, the
German authorities say, are largely
inspired by communist agitators, who
go from place to place, wherever
there is unemployment, organize the
men and incite them to trouble.
Tlie unemployed in Kssen recently

today with the Turk* apparently In

collapsed over the economic and finan
cial problems of the proposed peace
treaty. The Angora delegates, allied
spokesmen said tonight, gave no Im
pression during the day's proceedings
of an Intention to make concessions
on any of the disputed points.
Hassaii Bey, the Turkish financial
expert, told the financial committee of
the conference at iis first meeting
that Turkey wanted the whole world
to understand that she waa ready and
determined to pay her Just share of
the < ittoinan debt, hut wanted a defi
nite understanding that the provinces
detached from her territory as a re
sult of the great war should also bear
their just shaie of the total debt bu

He contended further that the mi
cession states, including Syria, Palac
tine, Maaopot.imia and tiie others,
should stand a proi-ort Ionste cost of
the withdraw,il from circulation of the
Turkish paper money. The allies flat
ly declined to accept the Turkish con
tention that the paper money consti
tutes ft detit to be borne by the de
tached provinces, hut agreed that di
vision of the Ottoman debt shall he

Numerous other financial questions
of sn extremely technical nature were
attacked, but the majority were re
ferred to the experts.

arrived at Chicago.
' With the pieajden’.fof Chile an ar

of the labor party behind the move

S'>r.e in tlie past year to California

The Chilean people are studying

his adiministration without etioivoca
tion to American membership in the

members of the Associated Press. Mr.
Harding set forth the reasons which
imp'^ed him to recommend to the
senate shortly before the adjournment
of congreie- the adhesion of the United
States to the world court protocol as
drafted under the league of nations,
outlined the advantages he believed
would accrue from adoption of the
recommendation, and presented for the
first time answers to the arguments
of opponents of the administration
plan. Jn doing so, the chief execu
tive asserted his conviction that Amer
ican membership in the court would be
"in harmony with party platform
pledges, eandidatortal promises and
American aspirations."
It would not be, and could ever Ire,
construed as being an indirect en
trance into the league of nations, he
declared with emphasis.
Outline of Policies.

sand of the nation's leading ncwipa
tier editors and publishers, was gen
ei-ally considered as the beginning ot

pursued the next year.
Political leaders throughout tht
country, admittedly In disagreement a»
to the wisdom of the world court rec
ommendation. awaited with intense in
terest the address and tonight welt
watching for the country's reaction.
Whatever reception it might be ae
corded by the American people, the
president indicated clearly that he
sto<sl firmly behind hia recommenda
tion.

lure of the executive s visit to New
York, tlie first in a year and a half.
Accompanied by Mrs. Harding and
several high officials, he arrived in
the metropolis shortly after S this

ant association with his fellow news
papermen. he visited the new plant
of tlie New York Tribune. He plan
ned to return to Washington on his
sptxial train at midnight.

asiic welcome when he entered the
