SHIP PURCHASE
BILL rs FOOLISH
Senator Root Calls It Unwise Legisia-
tion to be Considered at
Present Time.

IUnited Fress Leased Wire Service. ]
WASHINGTON, Jan. 25.-Declaring
that the senate democrats in the ship
purchase bill denied the efficacy OF
the American system of government
and discredited the senate, Senator
Root this afternoon assailed the ma
iority members for attempting, he
said to prevent proper consideration
of the measure
at does not seem to me-" he said,
that this bill, which will put the gov
eminent into the foreign shipping
business. is receiving the kind OF dis
cuession a measure Of its import
should have.
1T not only proposes that this gov
eminent spend large sun, Ct time
when an extra tax has been imposed
to make up our revenue deficit, but
embarks the United States on a gov
ornamental new policy.
A conspiracy Of silence, Root
charged, is the plan of the democratic
party to jam through the bill.
1T is being put through" he assert
ed, "by making it as eXhausting as
possible for it's opponents to discuss.
The republicans are putting it through
by brute force
Caucus rule. he added is another
democratic method
You're substituting secret caucus
discussion for the open discussion that
our constitution and free American
government demanGs," he said. Root
declared that abandonment by the
senate of it's powers, might make 1t
ultimately mere registering body, in
stead of de1iberative organization.
I'VE are taking a step fraught with
danger" he warned, "of fatal results

There have been speeches by some
of us who are opposed to the bill"
Root asserted. AT one time there

Der. I will not say the senator from
Missouri (Williams) spoke with eff
frontry. but I will say he spoke with
disrespect when he said that the
speeches made by Senators Burton,
Lodge and Cummins, on this bill were
not worth listening to. When he said
that. he denied the efficacy Of the
American system Of government and
discredited the senate. It is proposed
in this bill to go into losing business
at a time when We are making up
deficit by war tax. We can't meet
the shipping emergency by building
ships and where are you going to buy
them? You meet no emergency by

NEW YORK, Jan. 25.-The two in

details of the naval battle in the
North sea. The lengthy explanation
of the secretary Of state was read
with much interest and feeling ap-
peared to be it had cleared the situa-
ton in some particulars. But neith-
err the letter or naval battle had
much, if any, influence on stocks.
During most Of the time, trading
was normal and In the early hours
market was rea"ttonary. But the
changes were not very important and
in most cases did not reach more
than a point. There was nothing in
the situation to indicate that the for
eign holders were pressing stocks Tor
sale here. Selling from that quar-
ter did not exceed a few thousand
shares and it had little effect upon
the market There was renewed eX-
element in the wheat market and at
Chicago the trading was spirited with
a violent rise in May to s1.461a. This
movement was due in part to the
unwillingness of country holders TO
part with their wheat.
The u s. steel shares were heavy
much of the time. There was gen.
eral selling of stock between 81 and
So. Before the close, there was
better tone to prices and the high
grade dividend shares made UP
