SPLIT ON' KI.OOD HIM. The House Foreign Affairs Committee, split on President Wilson's request for au thority In the International situation, failed tod&y to report out the Klood bill giving the President that power. Instead several committeemen sought to Inject amendments. The upshot was that the committee voted to send the amendments to the President for consideration this after Boon. Shortly after the meeting broke up Chair man Flood make an appointment with Pres ident Wilson to discuss tho amended reso lution. It Is probable the President will take advantage of the 'opportunity afforded him 'to Inform Flood of the new and critical development resulting from the Laeonla Inking and urged reconsideration of the resolution to Include exactly what ho asks. The committee Is to meet again at t p. in. The main fight was against giving tho Tresldent power tn arm American ships carrying munitions. WOULD "OKDKIV AKMIN'U Representative Augustus P.

MODIFIED AlTHOItlTV Senate committeemen, whllo fulling to act, said, however, that the measuru would be reported out In "modified form." Representative Porter, backed by Itepre aentatlve Shackleford, Missouri, Democrat, carried on the House Commltteo fight on the munitions ships, He suggested three amendments which In substance would give the President power to arm ships only in ease they carried no war munitions or con traband.

The second torpedo was fired twenty minutes after the first had struck. In this Interval of twenty minutes the first thirteen lifeboats were launched from the Laeonla. The weather was cloudy and there was a heavy swell on the ocean. After the Laconla's survivors had taken to the boats the German submarine which apparently sunk the Cunnrder approached one lifeboat, Inquired for the captain and asked the nature of the cargo. Receiving Information In reply to these queries from the second officer of the La eonla, the German officer remarked that a British Admiralty boat would reach the urvlvors shortly and then depaited without offering assistance, Amtrlcan Consul Frost, at Queenstown, .reported the Incidents tn Ambassador Page today, who at onco begun a searching In vestigation of the case. According to Consul Frost, two American women ar.e among the thirteen killed In the German submarine's unwarned torpedoing of the liner.
