LEADERS SEE GAIN IN TARIFF BILL SUPPORT Report Striking Distance Reached in Senate Plan to Invoke Cloture. MEASURE MAY PASS ■WASHIXGtrON, Jan. 17.—Supporters of tbs emergency tariff bill In the Senate reported today they are within three or four rotes of the two-thirds nectary to invoke cloture which, under the Senate rules, would restrict debate on the measure and choke off the filibuster planned Dy its opponents. They also hoped to be able to command the two-thirds rote necessary to override President Wilson's veto of the bill, if it reaches him. they stated. They predicted the bill would be passed before the end of the present session, despite the amendments with which it has been loaded down, and the dilatory tactics of its opposition. PENROSE REPORTS HI EE. The bill was reported to the Senate by Senator Penrose, Republican of Pennsylvania, chairman of the Senate Finance Committee, who favors most of the changes which were made in It by a majority cf the committee. It was undetermined, however, how soon the Senate would begin consideration of it. Penrose gave notice that “at an early date" he would move to make the bill the unfinished business of the Senate and would “make every effort to push it to an early passage.” The btnds of the Republican leaders of the Senate have been strengthened by the addition of Senators Gooding of Idaho, and Willis of Ohio, to the slim Republican majority. Gooding replaces former Senator Nugent of Idaho, a Democrat he defeated for re-election. Willis restores an active Republican vote which the absence of President-elect Harding, whom he succeeds, deprived the Republican leaders. Eliminating Senator Newberry of Michigan, the contest of whose election is still causing him to absent himseit from the Senate chamber, the Republicans now command, with the recent return of Senator Penrose, forty-nine votes, their original majority. COCNT ON SCPPORT OF DEMOCRATS. It is estimated from eight to eleven Democratic Senators, due to the pressure from the agricultural interests of their States, which are strongly supporting the tariff bill, are prepared to vote with the Republicans for the measure. Eleven Democratic votes added to the forty-nine Republican—for Senator McCormiek of Illinois, now touring Europe and other absentees, are expected to return in time for the final vote —would give the bill'* supporters sixty votes, or within four of the sixty-four necessary to provide a two-thirds. Protection for wheat, wool, cotton, pea. nuts, sugar, rice, frozen meats —products of the East South and West—embodied in the bill as reported from committee, is likely to Increase the number of tts supporters. Republican leaders believe. The margin between the bill’s supporters and opponents has narrowed down so that the leaders of the latter admit they are no longer so sure of their ability to prevent its passage. They lack the moral support of the President, who has declined to utter one word to help them to keep Democratic Senators in line who have bolted, or are threatening to bolt the Democratic minority leadership. APPROPRIATIONS PUSH STARTED IN HOUSE WASHINGTON, Jan. 17—With less than six working weeks of the SixtySixth Congress remaining, Republican Leader Mondell and his associates In the House started a drive today to insure passage oT the appropriation bills through Congress. Mondell instructed Representative Knutson, the Republican whip to see that the Republican members dropped social and political engagements carrying them ont of Washington, so they could, remain here to attend to business. Following the example, Democratic Reader dark urged the attendance of Democratic members at the House sessions. ASKS EMBARGO ON OIL EXPORTATIONS WASHINGTON, Jan. 17.—The Mesopotamia oils question came before the Senate again today, when Phelaud, California, Introduced a resolution empowering the President to place an embargo upon exportation of oil to “any country.” Pheland also asks the State department for “full information of discrimination against the United States by any country 1b the acquisition of foreign lands and what steps have been taken to protect American rights.” LOBBYING BILLS ARE INTRODUCED WASHINGTON, Jan. 17.—Bills to define and punish lobbying were introduced in the Senste today by Senators Kenyon, Republican, lowa, and Overman, Democrat, of North Carolina. The Kenyon bill would require all those engaged in “lobbying” in Congress to register with the clerk of both the Senate and House and to state the purpose and nature of his or her activities in support or opposition of any legislation. Failure to comply with the provisions of the bill would be punished' with fines ranging from SSOO to $5,000.

TRACES CAUSES OF WAYWARDNESS Probation Officer Discusses Problems Affecting Youth. “It is the inveterate demand of youth that life furnish a large elemetn of excitement and parental ignorance and neglect and society's stupid indifference to this demand are largely responsible for much of the waywardness of our boys and girls,’’ said Miss Laurel C. Thayer, addressing the Teachers’ College this afternoon. Miss Thayer is probation officer of the city court. “Parents are too busy or too indifferent to plan for the leisure hours of their children," Miss Thayer said, “with the. result that the city has what it considers bigger problems to solve. Amusements become commercialized and we have the objectionable movie and the public hall.” Miss Thayer recounted the story of a girl whe came to Indianapolis from the hills of Kentucky with her brother. The brother returned" home leaving the girl employed in a hotel kitchen. Later she was picked up at 2 o’clock in the i morning by officers In a West Washington street case. She is now in a State institution. The girl was motherless at 6 and, seven months later, the father, then 39, married a 15-year-old girl. There were six children by hia first marriage and five by the second. The nearest town was fourteen miles away, and the only amusement for the elder children was treading behind the plow. “Need we wonder that two v>f this family sought york and freedom in our city?” asked the speaker. “A psychopathic institution .would do much to eliminate this typk of girl‘from our streets,” Miss Thayer concluded, saying that “persons afflicted with arrested mental development could be studied and treated as patients, instead of being fined or dismissed from courts, or in dangerous cases sent to jail pending committment as judges are now forced to do.” Public Invited to Be at Chamber Session An urgent invitation has been issued by Charles F.
