AUSTIN, Tex., July 24.—The call of
Speaker Fuller for convening the
house on Aug. 1 to consider the west
Texas A. & M. proposition, and the
university affairs and for other pur-
poses, caused much speculation here
today in political circles. Officials
seen declared there is no way by
which provision can be made for the
payment of the per diem of the law-
makers for services during the meet-
ing. Attorney General l.ooney, who
will undoubtedly be called upon to
|)ass on the question, and also on the
authority of the speaker to convene
the house, refused to discuss the sit-
uation. Governor Ferguson is not
here, being still on his ranch in
Bosque county, although he is expect-
ed tomorrow to attend the meeting of
the state automatic tax board.

LONDON, July 24.—Andrew Bonar
Law, the chancellor of the exchequer
announced in the house of commons
this afternoon that for 112 days the
average British expenditure was fti -
795,000 daily, or J33.023.700. The
chancellor said the total advance made
by Great Britain to her allies and the
dominion was £1.025,000,000.
Mr. Bonar Law said the net increas-
ed expenditure was £33,000,000, not in-
cluding advances to Great Britain's
allies which represented au increase
of £300,000 daily.
It was obvious, he said, that the luid- j
get estimate must be exceeded.
Record Breaking Loan.
Mr. Bonar Law introduced the vote
of credit of £650,000,000, the ninth
vote since August, 1914, and the
largest since the outbreak of the war.
This opened general debate on the
war, the discussion being expected to
last two days.
In making his financial statement, I
Mr. Bonar Law said the dally expend-
iture out of the last vote of credit had
exceeded hia estimate by £1,000,000 a
day. He mentioned increases under
and
■ . - — uo uin- itcdi that
I raised the daily total.
The chancellor said he was to some
extent disappointed that despite the
aid from America, the British advances
to allies had increased.
Loans Quite Justified.
"We hold, however," he continued,
"that the allies are one and that
money spent on our allies is money
spent on ourselves. The burden that
we assume is of great dimensions and
one which we can claim as evidence
of unselfishness and that we are not
fighting for ourselves alone.

son and the great nation he represents

In First Press Reports.
(Associated Press l)i
WASHINGTON, July 24.—With the
lousier list of Friday's conscription
drawing in the mail for distribution
to the local boards, the task of as-
sembling the national army of a half
million had passed out of the hands
of the federal government tonight
and into those of the civilian authori-
ties. who will notify the men drawn
and pass on exemptions.
As soon as the lists are received
each board will summon for physical
examination double the number of
tnen in the district quota. If more
Bro needed the authorities will keep
(mi calling until the quota is filled.
The final list shows only a few
errors In the unofficial report of the
drawing already transmitted through-
out the country by the press. In-
cluding all the adjustments found
necessary in correcting the official
list to make up for numbers that
were read upside down and were mis-
rend, and also all errors in tran-
_ seription In the rush of the drawing
and the haste to get the figures to
the wires, there are less than two
score variations between the list com-
piled by the Associated Press and the
master sheet.
The surprise of the official record
Is the fact that the missing number
Indicated by the drawing of a blank
capsule as number 10,004 was lo-
cated as serial number 5,794. It was
placed last in the master sheet and
became liability No. 10.5Q0. No 2 -
780, drawn as No. 10,498. was found
to be duplicated and was stricken
out The other variations, many of
U'hich have already been corrected,
are as follows:
No. 1,292 is 10,053.

No. 2,089 is 1,179.

with the war. That meant larger force
had been got from India than was ex-
pected when the estimate was framed.
There was also an increased expendi-
ture for aeroplanes. Another increase
in army expenditure he noted was due
to the fact that the casualties at the
front has been lower than last year.
The net daily increase in war ex-
penditure, aside from loans to allies,
and allowing for expenditure which
subsequently would be repaid, contin-
ued the chancellor, was £300,000. It
was evident, he went on. that the bud-
Ret estimate would lie largely exceed-
ed mainly on account of advances to
Great Britain's allies.
The total amount of the votes of
credit for the war now was £5,292,00,-
000. the chancellor announced, and he
added, "now that we have hail thrown
into the scale on our side the country
with the greatest resources In the
world it is still more true to say as I
have said on previous occasions, that
it will not be a want of money which
will prevent us from winning the vic-
tory to which we all look forward."

WASHINGTON, July 24.—The ad-
ministration's food control legislation
encountered another delay today when
ltepnh.ie«n Leader Mann blocked
plans to hurry the food control bill to
conference.
The proposal to create a joint com-
mittee of congress on expenditures of
the war written Into the bill In the
senate and objected to by President
Wilson as signifying a lack of confi-
dence in him started the trouble. The
republican leader rallied many of his
party about him and tonight the sit-
uation had taken on the aspect of a
partisan fight virtually for the first
time since the war session met.
To Force Conference.
Administration leaders despairing
of sending the bill to conference under
a unanimous consent agreement are
prepared to bring in a special rule to-
morrow under which they expect to
force a conference and in addition to
instruct the conferees to disagree to
all senate amendments. Taking the
administration managers by surprise
Mr. Mann served notice when the bill
came up today that he would not give
unanimous consent for the bill to go
to conference unless a separate vote
was permitted on the war committee
proposal. A hasty canvass of those
present convinced the administration
men that they could not be certain of
a majority against the proposal and
adjournment was taken.
Unanimous consent again will he
asked tomorrow before the special rule
is invoked but the republican leaders
have summoned the entire member-
ship here for a vote and a partisan di-
vision seems certain, in preparation
for It the democrats tightened up their
lines tonight to insure the presence of
a democratic majority, it was thought
possible that a few democrats would
vote with the republicans.
Two Dollar Wheat I p.
Adoption of the rule will virtually
include separate votes also on the two ■
dollar minimum for wheat anil prohi-
bition amendments, strongly desired
by several house democrats.
Throughout debate today Chairman
1 ever, in charge of the bill, promised
that the house democratic conferees
would do their utmost to force accept-
ance of the original provisions of the
house bill, la that form there was no
provision for either a war expendi-
said the figures which the chancellor I,lires committee, a food board of Hire,
had given of the daily expenditure did ' s' "r wheat and the prohi-
not constitute all the outgo. There ! , sections contemplated a hone
had to be added, he pointed out, the * country.
(Associated Press Dtspftl.il,)
WASHINGTON, July 24.—Presi-
dent Wilson brought the shipping
board row to an abrupt termination
today by eliminating the two princi-
pals William Denman, chairman of
the board, and Major General Goe-
thals, manager of the board's emerg-
ency fleet corporation, in charge of
construction.
The resignation of General Goe-
thals, tendered some days ago, was
accepted and Mr. Denman was ask-
ed by the president to follow suit
that the government's building pro-
gram might go forward without em-
barrassment.
Edward N. Hurley of Chicago, for-
mer chairman of the federal trade
commission, was named to succeed
Mr. Denman and Bainbridge Colby of
New York, was appointed successor
to Capt. John B. White of Kansas
City, a board member, whose resig-
nation, offered a month ago, also was
accepted, Hear Admiral Washington
L. Capps, chief constructor of the
navy, will succeed General Goethals,
taking immediate charge of the build-
ing program.
The nominations of Mr. Hurley and
Mr. Colby went to the senate this aft-
ernoon and were referred to the com-
merce Icommlttee. Prompt confirma-
tion was predicted.
Denman Olieys Orders.
Mr. Denman sent his resignation to
the White House immediately after
receipt of the president's letter re-
questing it. The president's action
manifestly took him by surprise, but
his only comment was this:
"It was the best way to settle the
whole thing. I want to help the pres-
ident In every way possible and never
have questioned the wisdom of his
decisions."
It was reported tonight that The-
odore Brent, vice chariman of the
board, who has been a strong sup-
porter of Mr. Denman's position, has
offered to quit the board If tho pres-
ident thought it best, but at the
White House it was said no commu-
nication had been received from him.
John A. Donald and It. B. Stevens,
the other board members, who have
lined up with General Goethals, said
they had no intention of resigning.
Method Somewhat Surprising.
Tho president's method of ending
the controversy came as a great sur-
prise to most officials here, who had
believed he would make a final effort
to compose the situation by dividing
definitely between the shipping board
and the manager of its corporation
tho powers conferred on the execu-
tive by congress. Mr. Wilson ap-
parently became convinced, however,
that Deman and Goethals never could
work in harmony and that both were
to be blamed for the delay to the ship
building program.
Virtually from the start of the trou-
ble, it becnm* itnown tonight, Mr.
Denrmu- .;<»>jiot have the full support
of the Ooanl for his wooden ship pro-
gram, Mr, Donald and Mr. Stevens
consistently supported the general,
but Mr. Brent and Captain White
stood with the chairman. After lie
had offered his resignation a month
ago on account of ill health, Captain
White returned to Washington In time
to cast the deciding vote against the
Goethals building program.
Review of Case.
General Goethals' announcement of
tills program furnished the cause for
a definite split between him and Mr.
Denman. Much of tho Goethals plan
was the original program proposed
h.v the shipping board, but Mr, Den-
t man is said to have resented the fact
that the general in making it public
declared he would proceed without
consulting the board
The president's order conferring
the powers given by congress author-
ized the board to operate -ships and
the corporation to build them. Gen-
eral Goethals, reinforced by a letter
from President Wilson, which de-
clared ft,, would not t>e hampered,
took the order to mean he would
have a fre hand Mr. Denman, with
a letter from the president, which i

large amount which must be expended
on the interest on the debt and the
amount expended on other services
not dealt with under the vote of credit.
There could be looked forward to,
Mr. McKenna thought, a total daily
expenditure of £8,000,000 before the
close of the present fiscal year.
Mr, McKenna said there was a limit
to the total of expenditure beyond
which the nation could not go without
forcing prices up to a point where
grave unrest would be caused. He
considered that the chancellor ought
to choose the service upon which he
could afford to expend money which
was strictly limited in Its total amount.
The country's revenue, the speaker
pointed out. was something like £2.-
000,000 daily and its expenditure about
£8,000,000, which meant that £6,000,- |
000 had to be raised by war loans.
This latter sum daily over the whole
year represented for England and for
a very moderate sinking fund, a fur-
ther income tax of three shillings four

ment instructions.
"I particularly urge that you not
tie the hands of the house conferees,"
he said, "the house thus far has not
been guilty of delay in the passage of

amounts almost to a national scandal."

WASHINGTON, ujly 24 During *
bitter debate today between democrats
and republicans on Senator Penrose'#
resolution to investigate the commit-
<ee on public information Senator
Penrose declared administration of
ooth war and navy departments was
marked by indecision and inefficiency,
Jie proposed early investigation.
Senator James of Kentucky, demo-
crat replying, referred to '"copper-
headism" and "sniping" in the senate
and said Senator Penrose was attempt-
ing to play "peanut politics," by mak-
ing baseless charges.
The startling point of the debate
was Senator Penrose's resolution at-
tacking the official account of tho
fight between German submarines and
transports on the way to France, Prom
that It branched out into a wide range *
of war topics and developed considera-
ble adverse criticism of the adminis-
tration from the republicans, culmi-
nating in a vigorous speech by Senator
James criticising Senators Penroso
and Lodge.
