STILL WRAGLING
ON SHIPPING BILL
Reed Resolution Laid on the Table
and the Filibuster Continues
In the Senate.

United Press Leased Wire Service. ]
WASHINGTON, Feb. 9.-Seeing the
Ehopelessness of passing his senate
continuous attendance resolution, Sen.
| ator Reed late this afternoon tried to
withdraw 1t. This was objected to by
several republicans, whereupon Reed
moved, to lay 1t on the table, which
would kill it. This was done without
a roll call.
In Offering substitute for the Reed
motion, preventing further caucuses
or conferences with the president by
senators and ordering all senators to
vote their own convictions Senator
Hitchcock made scorching attack on
the democratic caucus.
Il do not criticize the president,
he declared "a man with strong con-
viction such as his would naturally
bend every effort to carrying them
out. But I do criticize the Weakened
subserviency on the part Of men in
coordinate branch of the government.
Not one half of the senators on the
democratic side believe in this bill.
"When this caucus which MADE this
bill a party measure, was held there
we're only thirty five senator's who
voted for the motion to make 1t a
party measure That Is not two-thdrds
of flfty-three. the total number OF

so 1t became necessary for one
senator to change his vote. That al

XIV I am the state-I am the demo-
cratic party and with this move
hereby change the positions Of the

MEASURE
While Hitchcock did not mention
this senator's name, it was said to be
Hoke Smith.
Hitchcock offered a sarcastic sub
stitute for Reeds proposal providing
in part that "all senators are re-
quired to appear forthwith and to re.
main in the chamber until March 4,
1915"
Senator Reed proposed substitute
to Hitchcock's resolution proposing
that conferences Of disgruntled or
boiling democrats with republicans or
with republicatns with the shipping
trust, should not be prevented by
terms OF the resolution. Senator
Lodge declared this out Of order in
that 1t imputed unworthy corrupt
rules. Marshall ruled the amendment
in order since 1t applied to all alike
