the espionage bill forbidding dur-
ing the war the use of cereals or
grain in the manufacture of intox-

The senate also threw out the
censorship section and put in a mod-

house recently.

Washington, May 12.—The news-
paper censorship provisions were
stricken entirely from the adminis-
tration espionage bill in the senate
today, by a vote of 39 to 38, on a
motion of Senator Johnson of Cal-
ifornia.
Senator Kirby of Arkansas, a
Democrat, then introduced a n
amendment providing for a definite
and specific press censorship under
the supervision of the secretaries
of the war and navy departments,
and it was defeated by a vote of
65 to 5.

ment or use of cereals, grains or

Chicago. May 12.- At the dore of a

upward flight of wheat price*. In Mirt-
neapolis. Kansas City. ’ St. Ixiui* and
leaser market*, the same query was be-
ing put. There was no answer, save in
the resolutions of such bodies as the
Illinois Council of Defense, which urged
congress to take rigid control of the
whole food and basic commodity situ-
ation.
