About In Senate Comes Suddenly
and Puts Administration Democrats
on the Defensive.
Washington. Feb. 2.-Presidont VII.
sons ship purchase bill, upon which
the chief executive has insisted so dc.
terminedly. is probably doomed to de-
feat in its present shape.
The well laid plans of the admins.
tration were wrecked by Democratic
votes. when a few revolters Joined with
the Republicans and made n complete
chango In the situation In the senate.
The failure of the ADMINISTRATORS
campaign for the passage OF tho bill
was the hardest blow President vii.
con has yet received from the senate.
So complete was the turnover In the
senate against the presidents meas.
ure that the administration leaders
were forced to n fllibuster to prevent
It's defeat.
The strongest kind of pressure Is
being exerted by the administration to
close up the Democratic ranks and
TO save the president from defeat. Mr..
Wilson has been told frankly, how.
ever. that he will have to make sacri.
fees.
The only thing that will save the
bin is several amendments that are
forced by Republican Progressiyes.
among these one safeguarding the
United States against foreign compl.
cations through purchase OF tho in.
termed German and Austrian vessels.
The failure OF the administration
fight came when six Democratic sena.
tors Joined the Republicans and by a
vote OF A to AZ went or record In
favor OF recommitting. the ship bill
TO tho senate committee on con..uerce.
This was acknowledged as a test yote
on tho merits of the bill.
Senator Fletcher made a point OF
order against the motion on the
ground that the yeas and nays already
had been ordered on the caucus sub
stitute for the ship bill and was sus.
tanned by Vice President Marshall-
Senator Clarke appealed from the dS.]
cision and roll call was ordered on
the appeal.
The chair was overruled by vote
or AZ to 81. This made the Clarke
motion In order. whereupon Senator
Stone moved that the senate adjourn.
and another roll call was ordered.
This motion to adjourn was voted
down. 40 to SO, whereupon Senator
Stone moved TO lay Senator Clarke's
motion to recommit the bill on the
table.
Senator Stones motion TO table was
defeated, Al to AZ, Democrats opposed
to the shipping bill again voting with
the Republicans.
The Democrats who voted with the
Republicans TO overrule the chair
were Senators Bankhead, Bryan. Cam.
den, Clarke OF Arkansas. Hardwick.
Hitchcock. O'Gorman. Smith OF
Georgia and Vardaman.

FL0RI0 SAYS CAMBRIA
TOLD HIM NOT TO TELL

Mike Florio. prominent Italian mill
worker. In his direct examination he
told little OF any moment However.
he did testify that Tony Cerra had
asked him for $40. and told him that
he should get II for him. as he. Cerra.
had paid $40 for him to save his. Flo
rios. lite He continued by saving
that following his arrest. Cerra offered
to pay back the money. and as much
as 800. II he would keep quiet.
Florio was cross-eNamined by Tttor.
ney Schmidt. lie repeated over and
over again that the reason he had not
implicated Cerra in the former trials
was because Joe Cambria had told
him not TO tell.
The man said that Cerra had paid
his attorney upward of 5000. and that
he. Florio. had 10 give a deed for his
property and had to buy a suit of
clothes on credit.
In a voice almost husky with emotion
he said that he was the father OF nine
children. five of them dead and four
living. He stated hat he had been
told not to implicate Cerra. as he was
the father Of a large number of chill
dren. Looking al II from this stand
point. Florio said he felt he. too. should
be exempt from prosecution.
When court adjourned last night
Florio was still on the stand. and will
again be cross-eXamined this morn
ing.

HEAVY BURDEN. - There is a
heavy burden already being carried
by our charitable organizations, but
there is one class of the poor and
oppressed whose suffering has not
moved the tender-heated to tears.
This neglected lot Of sufferers belong
to the Illinois legislature.
1t may not be understood that this
Woodworking, energetic and incor-
ruptible body of brain workers do not
receive salary enough to enable them
to pay board in the expensive city
of Springfield, so they are obliged to
90 home every Thursday or Friday
night to get a shave and some lunch
to piece out their slender salaries.
AS the hard-heaTted railroad Of
ficials will not carry them back and
forth free those who have no private
fortunes are forced to exc out an
existence by various means and sub
iected to the temptation of the free
lunch routes.
This condition is so bad that they
are tempted to raid the treasury and
smash the constitution by ignoring it
in it's prohibitions made by people
who knew what we want in the way
of laws better than we do ourselves.
Most of the people who made these
restrictions are dead, but fear of such
laws still governs lawmakers and
courts, so that our poor and OPP
pressed legislators are tempted to do
in roundabout way what these dead
people said they never should do.

and industrial interests and workers
have their organizations, the farmers
being the only ones without an or
ganization of some kind.
The promoters hope. through or
ganlzation, TO get higher price for
their produce, and by eliminating
some OF the middle men. to sell cheap
er to the consumer They also hope
to purchase many of their imple-
ments and supplies In wholesale and
car load lots, and thus save much
from this source. II Is expected tlet
all the leading farmers In this To-
cality will become enrolled, and tina,
the membership will at least BE-
doubled at the meeting tonight.
