¥ S THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C, BORAH AMENDMENT ADOPTED BY HOUSE Leaders Give Up Fight for Porter Plan—Vote Is 330 to 4. The, House by a vote of 330 to 4 adopted the Borah disarmament clause in the naval appropriation bill. House Leader Mondell, sceing the temiper of the House, threy up the | proposed plan to make a fight for | substitution of the Porter amend- ment, broader in its provisions for a disarmament conference; The House acted quickly on the frequest of President Harding for action authorizing him to take the initiative in calling a disarmament conference. The Borah amendment requests the President to invite the British and Japanese governments to send delegates to a conference on limiting naval armaments. Representative Moore, Indiana, re- publican, and Representatives Camp- bell, Pennsylvania; Carew, New York, and’ O'Brien, New Jersey, democrats, voted in the negative.

WIild shouts grected Representative Kelley, Michigan, in charge of the bill, when he moved to concur with the Senate in the Borah amendment to the naval appropriation bill. In no mood for extended debate, many members rose, applauding and cheer- ing, and began to chant, “Vote, vote, vote.” They quieted down, however, when Representative Mondell, repub- lican leader, had the clerk read the letter he had re)ceivedfrom President Harding, in which the President de- clared it was “wholly desirable” to have the expression of a favorable opinion on the part of Congress re- lating to world .disarmament. The latter said it was “not of particular concern tothe administration what form the expression of oCngress shall take.” When the reading of the com- munication was concluded cheering broke out with renewed vigor. Debate, which lasted half an hour, was confined to Mr. Mondell, Repre- sentative Garrett, Tennessee, act- ling democratic leader., and Repre- |senutlve Byrnes, democrat, South Carolina.

Fears Tie-Up in Senate. After referring to the Borah amend- ment as “narrow and restrictive,” Mr. | Mondell declared that inasmuch as the bill would go back on the last day of the fiscal year to the Senate, “where one persistent and insistent gentle- {| man can block the wheels of legisla- {tion.” he doubted whether it would be wise to “haggle over the exact | wording of the amendment.” “It is.the duty of Congress to pass the bill so the Navy can functio said Mr. Mondell, “and I for one am willing to surrender my views £o ! there will be no tie-up.” The republican leader asserted that the Borah proposal did not adequately “express the desire of the American people for negotiations and efforts for disarmament.” Declaring it_applied only to naval establishments, Mr. Mon- dell exclaimed, “God knows it is even more important to halt the march of military forces on land.” Despite the wording of the amend- ment, said Mr. Mondell, the country *“‘understands the temper of Con- gress and realizes that a consistent and persistent effort toward disar- mament will be made by the admini The Stetson Shoe Shop .

Or was he merely thoughtless? The gentleman owns a fine hon#®, and possesses a back yard that is the delight of his life. Despite the appeals of the Dis- trict water department for the con- servation of water, the man daily watered his grass and flowers to the saturation point. Yesterday afternoon when the clock struck 5 o'clock, on he turned the hose, paying no heed to the great storm clouds which darkened the sky. Rain was imminent, but the man paid no* attention. ' Darker and darker grew the sky, but he wa- tered ahead. At the end of half an hours sprinkling Nature turned on the real sprinkling system, and the man was forced to beat a retreat, turn- ing off his hose at last. Then the rain came down in tor- rents, making that half hour's sprinkling utterly wasted, for it was but a drop in the bucket com- pared with what the skies supplied. But it was a tremendous waste of good water, for it was quite evident to the man before he be- gan sprinkling that the rain was sure to come.

Stillman, wealthy New York banker, was resumed today in the divorce suit he instituted against tho former Fifi Potter. The plaintiff abandoned his attempts to evade photographers, which proved unsuccessful yesterday, although he en- tered and departed from the building through a cellar trapdoor. This morn- ing he alighted from a taxicab at the | front entrance of the building in which the case is being tried, and, with his at- torneys, walked swiftly through the door. Mrs, Stillman was already inside, con- ferring with her attornevs. It was re- ported that they would switch their quizzing of Mr. Stillman to his relations with his wife, as he refused yesterday to answer any questions regarding his conduct with other women on the ground that it might tend to incriminate him. Today, it was said, John E. Mack, guar- dian ad litem for Guy Stiliman, would IN CONSTANTINOPLE By the Associated Press.

Replies Only Once. Mr. Stillman gave but one reply vesterday to a multitude of questions asked by Mrs. Stillman’s attorneys in regard to his relations with other women, and that reply was: “I refuse to answer, on the ground that it might tend to incriminate me.” h these words, often repeated during his three hours in the witness chair, Mr. Stillman was reported to have cast aside inquiries as to wheth- er he knew Mrs. Florence H. Leeds, former Broadway chorus girl; whether he the father of her infant son, Jay Ward Leeds; whether he sup-| ported Mrs. Leeds in luxury; whether he had formed a trust fund for her child; whether they had been together on his yacht Modesty and at a “love nest” owned by him near Miami, Fla.
