As the bill carries an emergency

clause, which would make the money

available immediately. It needed lo2

votes for passage. When the roll was

called the measure received only S3

votes, nine short of the required num

ber. IWore the vote was announced.

Representative Smejkal moved that

further consideration of the bill be

i postponed. This action keeps the

measure alive and

open for another

vote.

Friends of the bill

claimed that

j many members who had announced

iiit'ir inieimon oi voting lor me um

were absent today, and that the meas

ure undoubtedly would be success

ful when put to another vote later.

The measure already had been passed

he the senate.

Ooth houses today speeded up the

work of passing appropriation bills.

Because of the absence of Representa

tives Frankhauser and McCormick of

Chicago the house postponed the final

action on the public utilities home

rule bill.

As the home rule bill was intro

duced It applied to Chicaco only. How

ever. It wss amended to Include all

municipalities. As It stands now, it :

would shear the state public utilities

commission of practically all of the

ililltlnn.l nnvan w Vi 1 r-V u'.ra prmlfpii !

to It by the last general assembly,

making Its powers similar to those of

the old railroad and warehouse com

mission. Before adjournment today the

house expected to lake filial action on

the Curran bill, providing for the

state control of maternity hospitals,

and to consider the McGloon bill, lim

iting freight trains to 50 cars.

Representative Gorman's bill appro

priating $0.00 for the erection of a

new armory at Peoria also was passed.

The vote was 100 to 3.

AVERT CRISIS

Second Note on Lusitania

Tragedy Now Being Pre

pared by President.

FOR DEFINITE ANSWER

Kaiser to Be Asked Whether

He Intends to Recognize

Laws of Humanity.

Washington, P. C June 1. Af

ter more than two hours' discus

sion by President Wilson and the

cabinet owr the international

problems with respect to (.erniany

and Mexico, confronting- the I'nlt

ed Stales, preparation of a second

note to l-eriiuiny was liegun and a

warning to the factions Jn .Mex

ico nas completed.

No announcement was made further

than that the president's statement

warning the Mexican leaders to Im

prove conditions will be made public

tomorrow morning.

The prevailing belief after the cab

inet meeting was that a note, proba-

bly very brief, would ask Germany

whether she intended by her answer

j dicates unwillingness to recognlza

j wila, nave hitherto been regarded uni

versally as principles of international

law, based on customs and laws of

humanity, the United States probably

will sever diplomatic relations. That

view found expression in quarters

close to the White house.

Washington, U. C. June 1. Presi

dent Wilson told callers today he did

.nQtfeel.lt. would be wise for him to

discuss Germany's reply to the Amer

ican note until after he bad consulted

his cabinet and studied further tho

important questions involved.

The president said the American

tion to have a preliminary discussion

with his cabinet at today's meeting.

Calm and showing none of the

strain of international problems be

fore him, the president received the

Washington correspondents for their

usual Tuesday visit. Questions con

cerning domestic affairs had hardly

"touched the edge of his mind," as

he phrased it. because of the greater

Importance of the international sit

uation. Tomorrow Count Rornstorff, Ger

man ambassador, will, at his own re

quest, see the president. In well In

formed quarters, however, it is said

he Is not in close touch with his gov

ernment because of difficulty In com

munication. The reply Is expected to

go forward Thursday or Friday.

The president, it is understood, has

been much impressed with the prac

tically unanimous veraici oi Amen-

can editorial opinion that the German

answer Is not really an answer, but

an evasion of the greater issues of

law and humanity. His close advisers

say he regards it as a true reflection

of the opinion of the country and will

endeavor by his action to express It.

Rejoinder to Bo llrlef.

While the president himself would

give no intimation of his course,

many of those familiar with his prev

ious attitude thought the American

rejoinder would be brief and would

demand an early reply. Failure to

meet the American representations

would, it was predicted, result In a

severance of diplomatic relations. The

pressure for that course has been

ing of the Lusitania. Some friends of

the president have indicated that be

would not hesitate to adopt It in case

of a final unsatisfactory answer. Dip

lomatic non-Intercourse, would not

necessarily be followed by any other

step unless American rights were

again deemed flagrantly violated.

The president Indicated In his

speech yesterday at Arlington that he

hoped to have the widest counsel in

the present situation. He Intends to

go over the new note carefully with

Counselor Lansing and legal officers

of the government before It is dis

patched. For the first time in several weeks

the meeting was held In the cabinet

room in the executive offices. Instead

of In the president's study. Secretary

Red field was the only absentee.

That the note will not be sent before

Thursday Is the prevalent belief be

man ambassador, has been granted an

interview with the president for to

morrow. Its purpose has not been re

vealed, hut In Austro-German quarters
