OTTOMAN DEFENDERS
CETTINJE Montenegro April 23
After a final desperate attack
lasting 24 boars the Montenegrin
1 1 oops forced their way into Scutari
early this morning. The fortress for
mx months had offered a stubborn and
heroic defence
The assault which gae the Monte-
negrins possession of the city wiuh
has been the sole object of their war
against Turkey began on Monday nigbr
The Montenegrin army took the of-
fensive along the entire front. Thev
ompletelv surprised the Ottoman de-
fenders bv pushing right up to the
Turkish positions where they engaged
in close bd onet fighting.
C ounter "Attacks Pali.
The Ottoman soldiers made a number
of counter attacks and tried with their
utmost energy to drive the attacking
force out of their works but they were
finally compelled to fall back and leave
their positions in the hands of the be-
siegers who received constant rein-
forcements. It was midnight last night when the
Montenegrins obtained their footing in
the fortress and detachments of the be-
siegers entered the city at four .oclock
th's morning.
According to cpe report Essad Pasha.
the Turkish commander in chief recog-
nized the uselessness of further resist-
ance aft r the outlying key position of
Tarakosch had r alien tm is saia men
to have ordered his troops to cease
their defence of the fortress.
Another report says that the Mon-
tenegrin commander in chief had been
negotiating since Monday with Essad
Pasha for the surrender of the place.
Still another account says that the
Turkish troops defended the city until
the last.

Kssad Pasha was made-by an army es
timated at about 100400 men who also
rad to guard the outlying stronghold of
Tarakosch and other connecting works
surrounding the city. This they did so
well that the Montenegrins could not
make any impression until a few weeks
ago when their Servian allies brought
una large number of heavy siege guns
which soon reduced the fire of the
Turkish artillery.
The Montenegrins are said to have
lost 3000 killed and the Turks S000
killed during the siege.
FALL OF SCUTARI
MAY INVOLVE POWERS
Berlin Germany April. 2t The fail
of Scutari has caused the gravest
anxiety in political circles here which
fear that it will ultimately involve the
peace of Europe.
It is semi-officially announced today
that the capture of the Turkish fortress
cannot in the slightest degree alter
the decision of the European powers to
incorporate Scutari In the futaire state
of Albania. There is however little
expectation here that the Montenegrins
will withdraw peacefully from Scutari
or that the unity of the powers will
make an attempt to oust them forcibly.

This is not an unusual instance of
the diversity of the want ads to be

To prove this there was another adver-

adoption of little three year old boy.
Here again the heart interest is deep. A

BELGIUM YIELDS TO
STRIKERS. DEMANDS
Steps Are Taken to Amend Constitu-
tion But Soclallstii Delay in
Calling Off Strike.
Brussels Belgium April 23. The So-
cialist headquarters committee which
organised the general strike for equal
suffrage throughout Belgium today
received hundreds of messages of ce-
gratuUtioo on its victory the tfwt-wn-:
meat having announced the Intention to
amend the constitution.
The principal endeavor of the strike
leaders is now directed toward keep
ing the strikers from returning to
work until the Socialist congress can
decide formally that the strike has
come to an end. The congress will
meet tomorrow.
Constitutional Revision.
It is stated that an extra parliamen-
tary committee will be appointed by
the chamber of deputies and king to
consider and report on the question of
constitutional revision. This committee
will be composed of deputies and emi-
nent scientists jurors and others.
There undoubtedly is much dissatis-
faction among the rank and file of the
strikers who feel that they must wait
too long: for the desired reform but the
leaders are unanimous in their wish to
end the strike. M. Vandersmissen the
general secretary of the sfcrlke. de-
clared that it was a more complete
victory than he could have hoped for
after only a week's strike.

TIFF
Representative Underwood
Thinks Senate Will Make
Few Changes in the Bill.
REPUBLICANS ARE
READY FOR FIGHT
W
ASHINGTON D. C April 23.
The tariff debate was begun
today in the house. Represen
tative Garrett of Tennessee to whom
oaker Clark has referred as one of
the best parliamentarians in the house
will preside throughout the debate
While the bill is technically before the
.. use as a committee of the 'Whole.
Five Dn of Debate.
Mr. Underwood reiterated his view
thifl five days of general debate said a
week more for the reading of the bill
with the privilege of five minutes
speech to each member would be suffi-
cient in the house. He has been con-
ferring with senators and has indi-
cated that he believes the bill will ro
through the senate with very little
change from the form in which it has
run the gauntlet of the house caucus.
Representatives Payne Moore and
Fordney will make the principal
cnAfhM for the minoritv of the wavs
' and means committee the former fav
oring Republican substitutes for the
woolen and cotton schedules and the
other two making the fight against the
) mil as a wnoie.
I PrsreMlve Get Five Hours.
tVhen the house convened Mr. Un-
derwood asked unanimous consent that
the general debate close when the house
adjourned Monday evening.
The Republican leaders and repre-
sentative Murdocte the Progressive
leader argued for some time over the
division of minority time between the
Republicans and Progressives. It was
finally agreed to give the Progressives
five hours of the minority time. Alto-
gether about 50 hours of general dis-
cussion in the house will be allowed.
Democrats Applaud Usdervreed.
"The enactment of this bill into law
will mark the end of an era in the fis-
cal administration of this country and
te beginning of a new one." said Mr.
Underwood while Democrats applauded.
Mr. Underwood discussed the origin of
the present nign tartif. declaring It was
instituted as an emerge ny auring the
Civil war.
"Our great responsibility" said Mr.
Underwood "is the interest and rights
of thi great mass of consumers among
the American people. From our view-
point industry must be considered as
secondary to the rights of the con-
I sumer."
Cost of Livinp: to Dcrennc.
Referring to the increase in the cost
of living Mr. Underwood said:
"A great porportion of this increase
was caused by the abnormally high
protection ateon. tA the groat uunrfac-
turim? terteresta of the country under
the RepaMfemn tariff."
Mr. Underwood said the passage of
the Democratic bill -would not immedi-
ately be followed by reduced cost in
living.
"Within a reasonable time after the
merchants have disposed of goods
bought under high protective tariff the
country will find the cost of living de-
creased" he said.
Xo Public Hearings By Senate.
By a strict party vote the senate
finance committee decided finally
that no public hearings would be given
upon the tariff bill when it reaches the
senate. Interested persons will be given
a full opportunity however to file
briefs or statements with the commit-
tee bearing on any of the tariff sched-
ules. The decision is expected materially
to shorten the time consumed in get
ting tne tarirr mil oexore tne senate.
Ashnrst for Free Wool.
While the senate finance committee
has decided that further hearings are i
unnecessary the Democratic members
of the committee -will confer with
Democratic senators from the Pacific
coast and Rocky mountain states who '
are opposed to the free sugar and free '
wool revisions of the new bill- A num-
ber ot western senators including sen- I
ators Myers of Montana and Ashurst.
oi Arizona will not participate in the
conference as they have decided to
support the free wool and sugar pro-
gram ifi it is approved by the house.
The senate was not in session today
but meets Thursday.
Wilson to Confer "With Senators.
President Wilson will go again to
the capitol tomorrow to consult -with
senators concerning nominations he
has prepared. With the senate In ses-
sion the president decided there would
be less inconvenience to the senators
if he himself went to the oresident's
room and consulted with them about
prospective appointments than if the
senators came to the white house.
Delay Currency Reform.
Currency reform legislation was
taken up by the full senate committee
on banking and currency. As the re-
sult of a short session In which plans
for a financial bill were not discussed
in detail it is believed that unless
president Wilson insists there will be
no final action upon currency legisla-
tion at the present session of con-
gress. Arrangement win be made for a
short series of hearings before the
senate committee to begin within a
few weeks. Details of the plan of re-
form that is to be presented with the
endorsement of president Wilson now
are being worked out: but opinions
expressed at the committee meeting' in-
dicated that Democratic leaders prob-
ably would not attempt to press finan-
cial legislation to its final stages be-
fore the December session.

WAITS FOR HUBBEL
TO COME TO VOTE
yHOENIX. ARIZ.. April 23. Hub-
hJ bell was 2 blocks away and the J
senate waited two hours before
it passed senate bill 26 by Davis pro-
vidtng for the immediate selection of j
one million acres of land granted in j
the statehood act to enable the coun- i
ties of Maricopa. Pima Coconino and
Yavapai to pay off the railroad bonds
outstanding against them.
Hubbell appeared on the scene in
response to frantic telephone calls.
The opponents of the measure wanted
to place it on final passage- -while the
senator from Apache was still down-
town. They had nine votes and there
were only nine supporters of the bill
In the chamber. The bills rnenJs
prevented the final vote being taken
till Hubbell was on hand so the da
was saved. '
No bill passed by either house of
the legislature has been more praised
or more denounced than No. 26. When
the vote was announced in the senati .
Sims of Cochise declared it the mc;t
vicious piece of legislation ever enacted
in Arizona. Davis declared that it was ;
ine oesi measure presenieu iur ti:
consideration of the legislature.
Motions to adjourn till Wednesday
morning were made but it was finally
agreed that the senate could not af-
ford to lose the greater part of an
afternoon. A compromise was reached
and further consideration of No. 2S
was deferred till 4:3 while Hubbell
was hunted up.
At 4 oclock Hubbell entered the
chamber and was greeted with a
storm of applause. At 4:30 he did just
what he was expected to do and voted
for the bill breaking the tie.
Health Bill i'osses.
- Without division house bill No. 1
the board of health code was passed.
It was Weasel's amendment for the
revocation of the license of any phy-
sician who fails to report to the proper
authorities any case of contagious
disease that comes under his observa-
tion. Senate bill No. 44 by Lovln on sec-
ond reading was so amended that its
original purpose was almost entirely
destroyed. This is the bill providing
for segregated districts in cities and
the regulation of resorts of question-
able character. Weasel moved that the
section providing for districts be
stricken out. His motion prevailed
after much argument by a vote of 11

Dullard'j. Salary Raised.
After the first of January. 1915 the
attorney general of Arizona will not
be permitted to engage in private
practice but his salary will be $40M
a year instead of $2506 and he will
have an office in the capitol instead of
down town.
Such is the effect of an amendment
to house bill No. 12. the code bill fix-
ing the salaries and prescribing the
duties Of state officials adopted in the
senate. H. R. Wood is the author.
The bill also provides that the at-
torney general shall be allowed $2400
instead of $2000 a year for as assistant
and 31200 for a stenographer.
Moat of the forenoon was spent by
the senate in fighting over the salaries
of superior judges. Harrison suc-
ceeded in getting through an amend
ment raising the superior judge of
Santa Cruz county from S3000 to $3600
a year. Immediately after however
amendments raising the judges of Pinal
and Coconino to the same figure and
oi Mohave s judge to S3S00. were de-
feated. Then an amendment providing
that the salaries of superior judges
" continue to be as fixed by the
constitution was adopted.
The House.
Code bills occupied the attention of
the house nearly the entire day.
The following code bills from the
senate were passed: No. 10. contempt
of court; No. 12 adoption of children;
No. 11 Initiative and referendum; No.
7 license and occupation taxes.
All were without opposition except
No. 7 against which Crofoot cast his
vote.
By far the most important bill that
the house passed is No. 22. C. B. Wood's
general taxation law. Kirke Moore
was alone In his opposition. Some
amendments were adopted to the law
and the bill probably will be the sub-
ject of some conferences.
Another important bill that got by
was house bill No. 25. by Linney. pro-
viding for the submission to the people
of a constitutional amendment that
will permit the issuance of S1.O0

California personally to explain the

The president's telegram was in re-
sponse to governor Johnson's message
that California desired to cooperate
with the federal government to avoid
international difficulties. It was as
follows:
"Thank you for your patriotic tele-
gram. We find it so difficult from
this distance to understand fully the
situation with regard to the senti-
ments and circumstances lying back
of the pending proposition concerning
the ownsership and land in the state
that I venture to inquire whether it
would be agreeable to you and the
legislature to have the secretary of
state visit Sacramento for the purpose
of counseling with you and the mem-
bers of the legislature and cooperat-
ing with you and them in the framing
of a law which would meet the views
of the people of the state and yet
leave untouched the international obli-
gations of the United States."
Message Sent to Legislators.
The same telegram 'was duplicated
to the president of the senate and of
the speaker of the assembly.
The president is reassured by gov-
ernor Johnson's declaration of "pur-
pose to -cooperate fully and heartilv
with the national government and oo
only that which is admittedly within
our province without intended offence
or invidious discrimination."
