The Senate passed its measure late last night after several at- tempts to attach tariff and farm riders were overwhelmingly defeat- ed, with the Democrats aiding the Republicans in refusing saddles to these proposals. These two groups parted com- pany, however, in a stirri last minute battle’ which the Republicans won, thus hae vi their program within range of the $200,000,000 re- duction limitation set by President Coolidge and Secretary Mellon. Dawes Casts Deciding Vote _ In this drive the Democrats were defeated after two roll calls, the last resulting in a tie vote which was broken by Vice President ,sDawes, on the one plank of their $325,000,000 program they previous- ly had placed in the bill—a graduat- ed scale of lower rates on corpora- tions with incomes under $15,000. Elimination of this - provision lopped off $24,000,000 in the total reduction provided by the measure, which was then approved without a record vote. On the first vote on this provision the Democrats won, 34 to 33. But Senator Blease, Dem- ocrat, South Carolina, asked. re- consideration after his attention had been called that he’was. paired with Senator Frazier, Republican, North Dakota, who had not voted. On the second vote the tie re- sulted, although the Democrats seemed to have won again when Senator Blaine, Republican, Wiscon- sin, voted with them after voting with the Republicans the first time. He changed his vote, however, say- ing he had misunderstood the ques- tion. This left the tie, 33 to 33, and Vice President Dawes cast his first vote since taking office, while the Senate applauded. McMaster Votes with Democrats Senator McMaster, Republican, South Dakota, was the only member leaving his party ranks on the vote, lining up with the Democrats.

OF! an Question of Who Will Be in Active Charge of Campaign Is Expected to Be Definitely Settled at a Conference to Be Held Within the Week Reconciliation of differences be- tween leaders as to who is to be in active charge of the campaign of Republican candidates for national and state office endorsed by the Nonpartisan League was in sight to- Ve It was expected to be definitely settled at a conference of all the state candidates which Senator Lynn J. Frazier secks to arrange within the week. In its various phases it has oc- cupied the attention of Senator Frazier ever since his return to the ,state from Washington. He announced today that a basis for settlement has been agreed up- on and will be submitted at a con- ference of the state executive com- mittee and the state candidates within the week. Frazier Gives Ultimatum If there is failure then to reach agreement the senator indicated he will wash his hands of the whole matter and proceed to make his campaign on the issues as he had defined them. Old and staunch, friends of the senator are involved in all angles of the situation. Its crux is who to be manager of the campaign. There were evidences that the Good Samaritan efforts of the sen- ator are about to bear fruit in an understanding between the candi- dates and the executive committee. R. A. Kinzer remained in charge at headquarters today. Kinzer was elected to manage the campaign by the candidates. Their authority was an agreement with the execu- tive committee that they should se- lect their own campaign manage! Meantime the committee fi that minutes of the state conven- tion show that the delegates select- ed Fred Argast as:campaign man- lembers of the committee are Roy W. Frazier, Fred Argast and Carl: Anderson. Argast and his friends today agreed to await ac- tion of the forthcoming conference of state candidates before going Showdown Near It was generally agreeg that a showdown is not far away in the situation which has caused all con- cerned some anxiety for some time. Both factions in the dispute were hopeful of amicable adjustment. The immediate question was whether there is to be a conference. Several candidates who were out of the city today were not available for ex- pressions regarding the conference. It was lently believed, how- ever, that it will be ai and that it will pave the way to ious action. i Weakened Scofield 1 Salt Lake City, May 22—UP)— Dam Still Holding The Weather Mostly fair tonight and Wed- nesday.

PRICE FIVE CENTS n Bill Goes to Conference GRAVE MENACE STILL LINGERS OVER HAMBURG Many of Those Affected May Die, As Victims Sometimes Live,a Week DEATH TOLL NOW AT 11 Animals of All Kinds Lying Dead in City Streets and Farmyards Hamburg, Germany, May 22.4 (AP)—The cloud of phosgene, one of the deadliest of the war gases, which hung over Hamburg and claimed 11 lives, had been dissipat- ed, but its menace still lingered to-” day. Kore than 200 persons were in hospitals. Authorities believed many of these might die since the gas sometimes does not have fatal ef- fect until a week after it is inhaled. A content of only a half a gram to a cubic meter of air is sufficient to cause death. All available milk in the city was requisitioned to serve as antidotes. There were 98 persons in Hamburg hospitals, about 100 others at Wil- helmsburg and 30 at Hamburg, Phosgene poisoning causes a puru- lent inflammation of the lungs and, in cases where consciousness is re- tained, death comes after horrible suffering. Mute Evidence Remains Cattle lay dead in the fields, chickens and ducks in the farm- yards and dogs and cats in the city streets—mute evidence of the terri- ble death which crept through the sleeping city. Trees, grass and growing ¢rops shriveled as the silent menace spread. Three hundred and fifty families driven from their homes in terror by death’s silent approach were per- mitted to return when the authori- ties were convinced that the gas had been dissipated by wind and rain. They returned apprehensively. They shuddered as they reflected upon their close escape from death and upon the sufferings which might be inflicted upon a defenseless peo- ple by gas bombs dropped from air- planes in time of war. As they watched experts from Berlin remove other phosgene con- tainers from the neighborhood of the city, the people advocated that the storage of deadly gases near urban communities be prohibited. They demanded the providing of an ade- quate supply of gas masks, accessi- ble for public use at any time. Cause Not Determinec The exact cause of the tragedy was not established. The gas was in containers in the free port sec- tion of the city when a. tank con- taining eight cubic meters (282 cubic feet) burst. The lid was forced off and a section of the corrugated iron roofing was torn off the building. Experts thought that an unduly ‘warm atmosphere caused the dead- ly gas to burst the container since (Continued on page two) YELLOW FEVER CAUSES DEATH ‘| OF SCIENTIST Japanese Doctor Gives Life in Fighting Against Tropical Plague New York, May 22—(#)—The name of Dr. Hideyo Noguchi, Jap- anese scientist, has been added to the list of those who have given their lives in the fight against the dread yellow fever of the tropics.
