TO GET
SHIP BILL At
NIGHT SESSION
House Due to Pass Measure
After six Hours of
Debate.
CLARK'S APPEAL SAVED
BILL AT CAUCUS cONFAB
Debate in House Limited TO Six
Hours-WiIson Favors Rea-
sonable CIoture.

WASHINGTON, Feb 1e-Another
all-night Senate session, tine fourth
since consideration OF the ship pur-
chase bill began. was in prospect for
tonight.
Passage by the House tonight of
the bill was assured this afternoon,
when in a preliminary vote testing
the administration strength the
House adopted, 1856 to 1S9. the gag
rule" bringing up the bill for consid-
GRAFTON and limiting debate to the six
hours.
1t was expected the bill would pass
the House about p. m. and be sent
Immediately to the Senate. Then will
come the move to concur in the House
amendments. From a parliamentary
viewpoint the bill will be the same
Weeks bill as was passed by the
Senate, except that an amendment
has been added to it. The fact that
this amendment is virtually a sub
stitute for the entire bill does not
alter the parliamentary status
The report of the filibuster will be
directed against the motion to secure
changes in the House amendments.
If possible the Democratic leaders
would like to hold the Senate in con-
tinuous session until vote. The
ability to do this was regarded prob
lematical by the attitude of Norris
and Kenyon. If these two voted with
them it was feared the Republicans
would be able to force an adjourn
ment.
Strenuous efforts were made by the
Democrats to win back few of the
seven boilers, but no success was re-
ported.
President Wilson, after conferences
with leaders, came to no determine
ton on the question of an extra ses-
sion and only sent out word to press
the fight In the fourteen days which
remain to the sixty third Congress.
THE President conferred with Sem
stors Kern and Stone and afterward

tactics. but which would not cut off

Discussing the shipping bill, the
President said he believed the ma
jority of the Senate was for it and
that evidences of the need of its

callers he did not expect the shipping
bill, nor the appropriation bills to
fail. and, therefore, he had not

SALOON LICENSE
Dismissed. Ten Days Ago from
Force, Now Receives
Excise Permit.

BY unanimous consent the Excise
Board this afternoon granted q sa-
loon transfer license to Samuel Sas-
low, who ten days ago was dismissed
from the police force for fragrant vio-
lations of the rules of the depart
ment. The transfer license was
granted from Herman Eisner. at z3
Prince street. President c. William
Heilmann stated that if Saslow did
not conduct the saloon in an orderly
manner the license would be taken
from him at once. Saslow agreed
that he should oblige Mr.. Heilmann
The board granted Nicola DiLuca a
transfer from 3s1 Halsey street to 512
Market street. Commissioner Ely
voted against the transfer.
Harrison Ps Lindabury appeared be-
fore the board and argued against the
transfer. He stated that there are
too many saloons in that neighbor-
hood and that the petitions asking
that the saloon be granted at the Mar
ket street address were forced. He

hood?" asked the president.

the former policeman.
Always remember that you once
were an official, and conduct your
business in a business-like manner, /"
said Mr.. Heilmann.
A transfer license wac also granted
Salvatore Nesto, Of IS Essex street,
to 101 Sheffield street. President He'll
mann voted against this transfer.
City Counsel Spaulding Frazer
rendered an opinion at the
board meeting. in which he stated
that the law gave the commits
sioners the power to transfer license
from place to place or from person
to person. At the meeting of the
board last week there were seven ap-
plications for transfers, and owing to
the number of requests IL was de-
cided to ask an opinion OF the city
counsel.
Mr. Frazer said today that the
transfers would have TO be made in
two steps-that is, the transfer would
have to be made either from place
to place or from person to person.
The law he quoted reads as follows:
THE license so transferred shall
only be good or effective at either the
place or premises mentioned in the
original lease, or else at the place or
places to which the person or persons
named in the original license shall
move"

BOMB FATAL TO
THREE WAS FOR
ROCKEFELLERS
Berkman Says Premature Ex-
plosion Spoiled Plan to Kill
Father and Son.

NEW YORK, Feb. 16.-Alexander
Berkman, anarchist leader, who tried
to kill Fl. c. Frick after the Home
stead strike in 1892, declares that the
bomb that wrecked a Lexington ave-
nue house and killed three bomb.
makers last July was intended for
John %. Rockefeller and his son. His
statement, made in Denver, confirms
a suspicion held at the time. but of
which there was no proof, that the
three men killed, Arthur Caron,
Charles Hansen and Carl Berg, were
preparing for an attack on Rookie
feller. One other man who was in
the fiat at the time, Murphy" es-
capped. A woman also lost her life,
but apparently she had no connection
with the plot.
Berkman made it plain in his story
that his knowledge of the plot cams
after the explosion, and he got it
from Murphy, who has not been seen
by the New York police since the
day of the explosion.
It was to start a Ferrer school that
Berkman went to Denver. He had no
intention of revealing the plot against
Rockefeller. but made his statement
voluntarily last night to explode Will
lam ]. Burns's theory that Matthew
Schmidt had anything to do with the
affair. Schmidt was arrested here
Saturday for alleged connection with
the fatal Los Angeles Times explo-
sion, and it was said he was con-
nected with the Lexington avenue
explosion. Berkman said that he does
not know Schmidt nor did Schmidt
have any connection with the bomb
making.
"The plot against the lives of the
Rockefellers, Berkman said in Den
yer. was originated in a spirit Of
vengeance for the brutality visited on
those who took part in the larry
town protests against the outrages
that brought on the battle of Lud-
low, Col. 1t was hatched after free
speech had been virtually cut off at
