FINANCgIAL CENTER HOUSE ELIMINATES CENSORSHIP CLAUSE By Vote of 220 to 167 Congressmen Throw Out Provision in Spy Bill SPEAKER CLARK VOTES AGAINST ADMINISTRATION ON QUESTION American Government Succeeds Morgan as British Agent in This Country J. P. FEDERAL RESERVE BANKS TO FLOAT $2,000,000,000 LOAN England Spends $7,000,000 Daily in the United States for War Supplies New York, May 4.-Washington re- placed Wall street as the world's fi- nancial center today when the federal reserve banks took charge of floating the $2,000,000,000 liberty loan in New York. J. P. Morgan will no longer act as' British government financial repre- sentative in America, the American government succeeding him both as purchasing agent in this country and as controller of allied rloans on this side of the Atlantic. Thus, for the first time in history, Washington be- comes the money hub of the earth as well as the world war capital. McAdoo in Conference with Bankers Secretary McAdoo was in New York today for a conference with bankers on the appointment of a committee to co-operate with the federal reserve and the treasury department in distribut- ing the $2,000,000,000 loan. Taking in- ternational credits out of the hands of Wall street, the federal reserve bank of New York has completed ne- gotiations with the Bank of England whereby the latter will act as financial representative of the federal reserve in Great Britain, and the federal re- serve will act in a similar capacity for the London bank here. These ar- rangements were negotiated by Lord Cunliffe, governor of the Bank of Eng- land, in a quiet visit to New York. Negotiations for a similar arrange- ment with the Bank of France are pending. England Spends $7,000,000 Day in U. S. According to Sir Hardman Lever, fi- nancial secretary of the British treas- ury, the empire is spending about $7,- 000,000 a day in the United States for munitions and war 'supplies. Under the new plan, the Washington govern- ment will have complete control of these expenditures. Thus the United States will loan money to the British government with one hand and receive money from the same source with the other, without the Wall street inter- ests acting as middle men. The British and French munitions'' purchases will be made by a commit- tee on which all the nations arrayedj against Germany probably will be rep- resented. Herbert C. Hoover, food dic- tator-elect, has been suggested for chairman. Following Action, House Gives President Power to Cen- sor News to Washington, May 4.-The house by a vote of 220 to 167 struck out the censorship clause of the spy bill this afternoon. The clause was killed through adoption of an amendment by Representative Graham of Pennsyl- vania providing for the eli ation of the censorship feature Speaker Clark and ot Democratic leaders, and Miss Ran in of Montana, voted for this amendment. Majority Leader Kitchin and some of the Demo- crats who were alligned against the administration in other fights voted to retain the censorship provision. Chairman Webb of the judiciary committee, handling the bill for the administration, closed debate. He said he had received a message from the president "two hours ago saying to congress that the principles of this section-the censorship section-are absolutely necessary for the success of this country in the war with Ger- many." After the adoption of the Graham amendment eliminating the censorship provision, Representative Gard of Ohio, a member of the judiciary com- mittee, introduced a new censorship provision. It was adopted by a vote' of 195 to 183. The new provision gives the president power to censor news, but pfs up to a jury the question of willful violation of the censorship provision, and also the question wheth- er the information published could be useful to an enemy. GERMANY STRIIG TO CHECK BRTISHDIVE TEUTON ARTILLERY FIRE IN- CREASED; CANADIANS HOLD GROUND By William Phillip Simms (United Press Staff Correspondent.) With the British armies in the field. -May 4.-Germany is fighting as she never fought before to stop the Brit- ish drive. Fighting for the most part hand to hand and bayonet to bayonet over miles of front, the Tommies them- selves were authority for this state- ment today. Not only were the Germansoldiers fighting more desperately than ever before, but today the German artillery fire was vastly increased. In the face of such violent combat all along the line the whole front situation was ap- parently unchanged. The war has nev- er seen any harder fighting than that on both sides of the Scarpe today. The Canadians who yesterday ad- vanced south of Lens, inflicting a hard blow on the Prussians, were still hold- ing their gains and repulsing all counter attacks today. E-RAY EXAMINATION PROVES WORTH IN HOSPITAL WORK At the University hospital one out of every five patients is sent to the E-ray department for examination, while four patients report each day for examination and 13 for regular treatment. E-ray according to Dr. James G. Van Zwaluwenburg, clinical professor of roentgenology, is valuable not only for confirming diagnosis and locating ailment but also for curing skin dis- ease. Cancer growths are so treated, and the electric ray is invaluable in dental work. In accordance with the rules govern- ing all patients admitted to the Uni- versity hospital no charge is made for the E-ray examination although a small fee is asked to cover the cost of the plates.

Beal and Prof. J. B. Allen.1 Because the divisions were recruited mostly from the students, many of1 whom were working for their board1 and room, it was thought advisable to ask the government to either pay the board of the men or transfer them to some other station. At present the government has not acquiesced to theI plan.I CRISIS STAVED OFF BY MILIUKOFF'S SPEECH Cheering Greets Statement That There Would be no Separate Peace By William G. Sheperd (United Press Staff Correspondent.) Petrograd, May 4. - A dramatic speech appealing to the patriotism of the workmen and soldiers, delivered here by Minister of Foreign. Affairs Miliukoff from the balcony of the gov- erment building, has apparently stav- ed off the crisis that appears imminent in new Russia. From a hooting and jeering mob that demanded his resignation, the minist- er turned the throngs of soldiers and workmen which had paraded the streets throughout yesterday into a crowd which cheered his utterances, pledging unrelenting war on Germany. Prolonged cheering greeted his statement that the government would never agree to a separate peace. The situation was not entirely cleared up today, however. A joint meeting of the representatives of the provisional government and the wo 's and soldiers' committee sche for to- night has been cancelled. It is assumed this action wvas taken to permit further conferences with the leaders of the workmen and soldiers who are demanding a greater partic- ipation in the affairs of the govern- ment. This would permit of an ex- planation of the government's state- ment approving agreements entered into by the deposed Czar and his min- isters. LAWSI HOLD DRILL UNIT EXAMS TODAY All Members of Companies Are elig- ible to Try for Positions at This Time The competitive examinations for those who wish to try for offices in one of the four law drill companies will be held this forenoon from 9 to 12 o'clock in room D of the Law build ing. It has been decided to have the examination at 9 o'clock instead of 8 o'clock as formerly announced. All members of the law companies are eligible to take the examination. It will cover the elementary work up to and including the school work of the company. This examination will count half and actual drill work on the field the other half in deciding the final grade. The officers below the rank of captain will be chosen from those standing highest. The appointments will be made some time next week after the grades have been deter- mined and other adjustments made., SENIORS ACCEPTED- BY CIVIL SERVICE Fourth Year Men in Good Standing Will Be Granted Positions The civil service commission has de- cided to admit to positions which are open only to college graduates, senior students in American colleges and universities who have not yet receiVed their diplomas, if they are recom- mended as being in good standing by the schools which they are attending. This information reached President Harry B. Hutchins yesterday in the form of a letter from Mr. J. A. Mc- llhenny, president of the commission, which follows: "Referring to its previous, letter to you in which you were requested to furnish a list of senior students, the commission advises you that it has been decided to admit such students to an examination in which gradua- tion is prerequisite; provided they are otherwise eligible and each applica- tion is accompanied by a certificate from the proper officer of the school showing that the applicant is in good standing!"
