NO CHANGE MADE
 IN ALBANY VOTE

Albany, N. T.. February 9.-Another armed truce until Monday has been declared in the United States senatorial F. Murphy and most of the legislators have gone home for the week end, leaving the situation to simmer.
 The twentieth joint ballot today de- veloped but one change-Representa tive William Sulzer gaining a vote at the expense of John l.. Herman of Utica.
 Governor Dix returned from New York at noon today but would not dis cuss his talk with Mayor Gaynor last night further than to say that political topics and New York city matters were considered. Today's vote:
 Twentieth ballot for United States senator:
 Democrats--Sheehan 75, Shepard 10, Kernan 8. Glynn 3, Littlejohn 8, OBrien ?, Sulzer 2, Parker 1, Taylor 1.
 Republican-Depew 72.
 Total vote cast. IT, Necessary fo.' choice 89.
 Will William E. Sheehan withdraw as candidate for United States senator? That was the question uppermost today in the minds of legislators weary and
 
 the deadlock, which has existed since January IT, Yesterdays conference failed to shake single vote and sev. eral legislators have expressed ~the opinion that nothing short of MT. Shee- hans withdrawal and the selection of a compromise candidate will end the struggle.
 Alr. Sheehan himself says he is still confident of election and Leader Cha .les F. Murphy of Tammany has indicated that he intends to continue to fight for the caucus candidate. Developments over Sunday ably will determine whether another conference will be called next week.
 There was much speculation today among the members as to what took place at the conference last night be- tween Governor Dix and Mayor Gaynor in New York. and whether it would have a bearing upon the senatorial sit uatiOn.

AMERICAN UNIFORM
 MUST BE PROTECTED

Washington, February 9.-The Senate agrees with the House that the wearers of the uniform of soldiers and sailors of the United States should be protected from discrimination by managers oi places of entertainment.

 The House bill, as 1t passed that body, imposed a fine of 5000 and a penalty of two years imprisonment for such an of fense against members of the army, navy or marine corps. The Senate today passed the bill so amended as to make the fine $500 and to remove the imprisonment feature.

 GETS READY FOR NASHVILLE

The Birmingham Athletic club basket ball team added another scalp to it's al- ready well filled belt last night, when 1t took the Louisiana State team in tow to the tune of 49 to r. The game was hard-fought all the way through in spite of the big score. Louisiana State uni versity put up good fight, and fought it out to the last but the team work of the locals and their true shooting soon put them to the good There were no particular stars in the game. All the men played good ball. Chairsell led in the scoring, making IS points.
 The next game will be with the clubs old-time rivals, the Nashville Athletic club. Nashville always turns out good team; one that has beaten the locals more than once.

LIVELY CAMPAIGN
 FOR RECIPROCITY Taft Will Speak on Subject in
 Two States CAUCUS OF DEMOCRATS Members of Senate Will Meet to Dis cuss the Canadian Treaty and Decide What Policy to
 Follow
CAUCUS OF DEMOCRATS

Washington, February 9.-The cam paign of the Taft administration and the various elements allied in the sarle cause for the ratification by Congress Of the riciprocity agreement with Cam ada moved on apace today. The House ways and means committee held it's final hearing and is expected in exect:- tive session tomorrow morning to vote to report it favorably
 President Taft left late tonight for the west and in speeches tomorrow al Columbus Ohio. and Saturday al Springfield, H., will taFe occasion to emphasize still further his advocacy of the reciprocity agreement.
 Secretary Wilson of the department of agriculture tonight added his word to the pro-reciprocity chorus, in the form of long and forceful "open let ter" addressed to the National Grange
 The democratic members of the Sen ate will meet in caucus tomorrow. Os- tensibly the conference of the minority was called to outline a programme in relation to all pending legislative mat ters, but it is believed the Canadian agreement will consume practically all of the discussion and the democrats will determine on a policy in respect to it before they leave the caucus room
 Democratic leaders say that natural ly they would be for the agreement but that some of their number are hold ing off because of the feeling that Pres ident Taft might be benefited politic- ally by its adoption by Congress. The democrats who are inclined to this view say they hesitate to assist in ex- tricating the republican party from any of it's difficulties.
 The attitude of the minority in the Senate may be influenced by democratic sentiment in the House when the Mc- Call bill, to carry the agreement into force, is put on it's passage. The indi- cations are that the House democrats will support the bill in which even, the Senate democrats will follow suit. The first open voice in support of the agreement in the Senate was heard to- day when Senator Beveridge, in a strong speech advocated it's adoption. In the House the situation has been swiftly shaping itself and gives indi- cations of resulting in speedy action on the measure. So far as can be learned the plan today Is to bring the Mccall bill in from the committee tomorrow without any rule regulating Its con- sideration on the floor.
 This would leave 1t open to amend ment. The friends of the measure ex- press the belief, however, that there is large majority of the House in fa- vor of the adoption of the measure ex- actly as 1t stands and who will defeat any attempt to amend it in any par ticular when 1t is made plain to them that single amendment may defeat the whole plan.

Debate Begins in Ottawa


 Ottawa. Ont, February 9.--The Can- adian house this afternoon began the debate on the reciprocity agreement with the United States. The great in- terest in the measure was indicated by crowded galleries and an unusually large attendance of members. The re- suit of the discussion was a declara. tfon by Finance Minister Fielding that parliament would put through the measure without delay with a provi- sion that 1t should come into force as soon as the United States has taken ia : vorable action and a declaration for the opposition by MT. Borden, oonservativ leader, that. after a 40 year develop ment struggle. Canada had reached a position where reciprocity and in creased trade with the United States was no longer desirable, but that Caf1- ada should continue to seek British markets with her surplus products.
