FILIBUSTER BY DEMOCRATS
Their Opposition Regarded as Fatal to
the Measure.
VAIN EFFORTS FOR HARMONY
Postponement by the Senate Of the
Matter From Yesterday After
noon Until This Morning.

There will be no ship subsidy Legislation
during the present session of Congress
This fact was practically conceded by all
when the Senate supporters of the subsidy
bill agreed late yesterday to allow the
subject to go over until today. The failure
of the measure will be due to the opposition
of democratic senators, which was so pro-
nounced as to cause them to engage in a
flibuster for more than an hour to prevent
consideration of the measure at yesterdays
session.
The position of democratic senators was
made known to their republican colleagues
early yesterday. Several of them held an
informal conference on the floor of the
Senate, and after deciding that the bill
should not pass In it's present shape they
instructed their caucus leader, Senator
Blackburn, to convey this Information to
the republican leaders The republicans
were therefore well aware of the probable
fate of the bill, when at 80 O. clock Sena-
tor Gallinger, who had charge of the bill
when it was before the Senate, called the
measure up and moved to concur in the
House amendments. This motion was i'm
mediately met by counter motion to post
pone the consideration until today, and
when it was voted down, various other mo-
tons, all of a dilatory character, were in
troduced by democratic senators, and not
withStanding they were all defeated it was
perfectly understood that the determined
opposition at SO late an hour in the ses-
sion meant the ultiamte defeat of the
measure unless some agreement could be
reached.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1907-03-03
Matter Postponed Until Today.

After this episode cessation of hosti!ities
until o'clock was secured, and when the
subject was again brought up at that hour
1t was Immediately made apparent that no
progress had been made toward the har-
monizing of the differences between the
friends and opponents of the measure.
Senator Gallinger then suggested a further
postponement until today at II o'clock Of
the effort to obtain action. All agreed to
this proposition and the Senate will meet
accordingly today to take up the subject
In the meantime there will be some effort
to reach a common ground. but no one
hopes for success. The principal opposition
yesterday came from democratic senators
who were interested in the commerce of
the Gulf of Mexico, and it has been sug-
gested that If further provision could be
made in that interest they would accept
the bill. Other democratic senator's, how
ever, oppose the measure for other rea-
sons, and If the gulf state element should
desist in its opposition, it would be re-
newed by colleagues who base their
antagonism on other grounds. Moreover,
the House leaders have practically served
notice upon the Senate that If the bill
should be amended in any respect by the
Senate 1t would be impossible to obtain ac-
ton in the House, because of the oppose
ffop there

BIGAMY TALK
HALTS THE CASE
Helen SOhI, Alias Lawson,
Accuses Herself While HuS-
band Is On Trial

There was a decided stir in City
Court this morning when the name OF
George Lawson, or Hermann Lawson,
was called, the charge against him
being threatening TO do bodily harm to
Marshall starr. Starr testified that
while he was in Magistrate Broman' s
office last Saturday afternoon, the
defendant. who at the time, was pro-
scouting him on a charge Of embezzle-
ment. had threatened 90 shoot him If
he could not put him in the worlShouse.
The alleged threats were also tesu-
fed to by Magistrate Broman and
Constable Barnes.
While the case was on trial Mrs.
Helen Sohl was called 70 the stand
and created a sensation by admitting
that she was a bigamist, having lived
with the defendant without having
secured a divorce FROM her first hus-
band.
Mrs. Sohl stated that when she mar
ried Hermann she thought she had
been divorced from her former husband
and did not know the difference until
Hermann had told her she was not di-
vorced. She was not permitted to tes-
tify further in the case, as the court
ruled that as she had been posing as
the wife Of the defendant she wa9 not
competent to testify under the iaN.
Former Judge BAH, on behalf Of his
client, brought out the fact that ne
gotiations for withdrawal Of the case
had been begun. Constable Barnes and
starr testified TO the same effect.
After the testimony had all been
heard. the judge announced that he
would hold the defendant in 500 peace
bond.
The charge Of assault and battery
preferred against Lawson by his
wife was Continued until tomorrow.
Professor Herrmann's Statement
Professor 4ierrman. after the hear
ling, said:
/ Il am adverse TO rejecting on any
woman's character, but the statement
Of Mrs. Hermann is correct, as l was
married to her in Providence, r. l.
four years ago. and subsequently learn
