Walking unannounced into the offices of the interstate commerce commission, the president inquired of the commis- sioners what they were doing toward the irelief of shippers who had found some of the present rates unreasonably bur- densome. He was assured that the whole subject was under investigation and that the commission hopes sooun to effect broad revisions throgh the voluntary action of the roads. The hauling charges for fruit pro- ducts over western roads were made a specific example by Mr. Harding in pres: ing his inquiries.

Prohibition leaders declared there were votes enough to put it through before the bureau of internal revenue could make effective proposed reguldtions of which beer could be” prescribed for the ailing under a ruling of former Attorney Gen- eral Palmer.

Washington, June 1.—Passage of the naval appropriation bill by the senate late today paved the way for what prom- ises to be a sharp contest in conference between the senate and house over sen- ate increases of $95,000,006 and the Borah amendment authorizing and re- questing the president to call a disarma- ment conference of the United States, Great Britain and Japan. House sentiment is understood to be against the appropriation increase and its leaders have indicated a desire to broad-| en the Borah plan to include military as well as naval disarmament in a general conference of many nations. As passed by the senate, the bill car- ries §494,000,000, as compared Wwith $396,- 000,000 voted by the house. The senate vote was 54 to 17, the latter including 5 republicans and 12 democrats, whose op-! position was based principally on the senate increases. Sixteen democrats join- ed with 38 republicans in voung for pas- sage. Almost three weeks of vigorous contest were required in the senate to dispose of the bill, and the economy drive waged against it was continued up to the mo- ment of its passage. The drive, however, netted a reduction of but $2,500,000— $1,500,000 by elimination of the commit- tee amendment to start a new Pacific| coast naval base at Alameda, Cal., and §1,000,000 lopped from trapsportation and recruiting runds. In today's final effort for reductions, a motion by Senator King, democrat, Utah, to rccommit the bill to commitiee with instructions to cut out $100,000.000, defeated, 43 to 25, the affirmatives cluding 10 republicans. in- Other amend- ments by Senator King to suspend work on new battle cruisers and super-dread- naughts of the 1916 building program were rejected without record votes. The senate retained today. by a supple- mentary vote of 38 to 21, the committee amendment providing about §40,000,000 additional to maintain an eniisted person- nel of 120,000. The house fixed ‘the per- sonnel at 100,000. The 10 republicans prominent in the economy campalgn vot- ed for the reduction. The senate without a record vote also provided for continuing appropriations of 1918 for the drydock and chanmel of the Charleston, S. C., navy yard. These in- clude $1,150,000 for the drydock and un- expended appropriations from a fund of $1,500,000 for dredging. Another amendment previously adopted and finally eliminated was that of Sena- tor McKellar, democrat, Tennessee, au- thorizing reappointment to the Annapolis academy of 110 midshipmen who were| forced to resign last term Decause of scholastic deficiencies. The Borah amendment, adopted recent- 1y by the unanimous vote of-74 to 0, was retained intact, Jbecause of its inclusion. Senator Borah, its author, voted for the bill. ILLNESS OF ACCUSED HALTS THE NOTT MURDER TRIAL Bridgeport, Conn., June 1.—The trial of Mrs. Ethel H. Nott, charged with the murder of her husband, George B. Nott, was cut short today on plea of Public Defender Robert De Forest, for the de- fense, who told the court that Mrs. was not in good enough physical cc tion to confer with defense cou Judge Maltbie adjourned court until to- morrow. During the recess counsel for Mrs. Nott sought to confer with her concerning the letters offered in evidence by the state, and which she is allezed to have written to Elwood B. Wade while they were both in the Fairfield County jail awaiting, trial. Mrs. Nott was too ill for a con- ference, Mr. De Forest said, thus de- laying the arguments of the ense against the admission of the letters. is the contention of the state that every one of the letters is admissable and h: a direct bearing on the case. Elbert Wade, father of FElwood B.

The ness said he thought Elwood was on probation at the time, but for what cause was not given. Other witnesses at today's session were Mrs. Mary S. Wade, widow of El- wood B. Wade; C. C.

RECONSTRUCTION IN EUROPE IS STEADILY I'BOGBESSINGi New York, June 1.—Thomas W. La-| mont, of J. P. Morgan and Company, returned from Furope today on the Olympic declaring that reconstruction work was steadily progressing. “Conditions on the other side are, it seemed to me, distinctly on the mend,” he said. “In England the coal strike has been a heavy burden to bear, but the attltude of the people has been patient and calm, and the course of the gov- ernment admirable. When I sailed there was every expectation that an early _sv(- tlement of the strike would be arrived at. “On the continent steady progress in industry and agriculture was under way. France, Italy and Belgium have all made great strides in this last year. “I look to see such different situa- tions as still esist fall into gradual ad- justment. The fact that the United States government is now represented in the counsels of the allles, in their meas- ures to establish permanent peace and| tranquility, has been very heartening to! all Europe and is a distinct factor of hope in the situation.

However, it, added, the more hopeful attitude which has shown itself among business men recently has contin- uew and is preparing the way for active development in some industr inancially, the month was one of in- ing strenzth and of more prosperous the board asserted. Unemployment was on the increase in ", the board reported, despite the an- ticipated improvement in the labor mar- ket due to the opening of spring agricul- tural activities. However, it added, vol- untary unemployment has been considera- bly augmented as a result of increasing labor difficulties accompanying wage re- ductions. Agriculturally, the board declared, the situation during. the month may be char- | acterized as unfavorable and backward. The wet, coid weather of May. it explain- ed, interfered with crop development and did great damage in certain sections. The fruit crop over wide areas has suffercd erely, it reported, and the developmeht of the cotton crop throughout the south has been retarded by unfavorable weath- er conditions. RULING BY SUPREME COURT ON INTERNAL REVENUE LAWS Washington, June 1.—Various internal revenue laws enacted rrier to adoption | of the eighteenth amendment and de- signed to cover illicit distilling have been superseded and annulled by thé amend- ment and the Volstcad act, the supreme court held today. The court sust district Tourt in ed the United States Oregon in quashing an B Yu ovich and cousin Boze Yugin- ovich, on the ground that no offense had been charged under the Volstead act. Miss Annétte Adams, assistant attorney general, who appeared for the govern- ment in arguing the case before the su- preme court, said the ecffect of the de- cision would be to abate prosecution in a number of cases in which indictment: were sim/ 1y based, and pos the remit already decided contrary to today's ruling. On the other hand, Wayne B. Wheeler, counsed flr the Ant aloon League of America, took the stand tonight that the decision would serve as further support of the dry forces. In the course of its opinion the court agreed with the lower | tribunal holding that “congress mani- as well as legally produced.” Boze and cousin Boze were indicted for violations of sections of the revised stat- utes.
