TRIAL IS
 SET FOR MONDAY
Meanwhile He Will Remain Prisoner in Tombs, Not Asking for Bail.

New York, Jan. 27.-Harry K. Thaw today pleaded not guilty to the charge of conspiracy under which he was brought here from New Hampshire last Sunday. His trial was set for February 2. Meanwhile he is to re- main a prisoner in the Tombs. His counsel has agreed not to apply for bail
 No attempt will be made by the state to have Thaw committed to Mat teawan pending his trial, unless his lawyers change their decision not to apply for bail. Deputy Attorney Gen. eral Franklin Kennedy, who is in charge of the states case, now that William T.. Jerome has dropped out of the litigation, made this announce ment today.
 In accepting Thaw's plea and fixing tine date for trial, Supreme Court Jus tice Davis denied the motion made by Thaw's counsel last Monday to have the prisoner sent to Bellevue hospital so that physicians there might pass on his sanity.
 Thaw was elated today when his counsel confirmed the news that MT. Jerome was no longer connected with the case.
 "It is long lane that has no turn iSg," he said.

TURK INVASION OF
 EGYPT UNDER WAY
One Column Is Less Than 30 Miles from Suez Canal
 When It Meets British.

London, Jan. 27.-The Turkish ad- vance on Egypt has begun.
 While it is not yet probable the Turks have penetrated the peninsular of Sinai in force, column has reached Dir-Munatet, less than 90 miles from the Suez canal. The ad- vance guard of this column had a brush with British patrol on Tues day, when the British suffered five casualties.
 The Turkish column is evidently advancing from Kal-el-Arish along caravan route which passes near tne shores Of the Mediterranean. Sand dunes protect troops along this route from the gun fire, but the British water planes have dropped bombs on the column, inflicting some losses. It is believed another Turkish column may be advancing, or about to ad- vance, across the center of the pen insula of Sinai.
 This is the first real contact with Turks on Egyptian territory, for the fight some weeks ago at Dir-el-Ness, on the ,Kal-el-Arish route. was be- tween the Indian imperial service troops and band of rowing natives.

CATHOLICS PRAISE
 ASSEMBLYMAN WILSON
Local Legislator Wins Commendation by Opposition to Anh-Cathoiic
 Kill.

Representative T. A. Wilson was warmly commended yesterday by Pine Bluff Catholics for his stand on the bill providing for an inspection ol convents and other institutions, tele- grams of approval being dispatched the Pine Bluff law-maker by Judge E. J. Kerwin, Frank Franey and others.
 Judge Kerwin telegraphed about 4OO words, congratulating MT. Wilson up- on his broad mindedness and urging hin to oppose the bill, which IS de- clared by Judge Kerwin to be in con flict with the constitutions or the limited States and of Arkansas.
 Present laws are ample, salo Judge Kerwin. "The convents are open to any one who desires to Vis't them. but this gang behind the Posey hill would invade the privacy or ped rooms. No place would be sacred from them."
 Judge Kerwin says the convents are established and maintained by the Catholics, who pay tuition for the children sent to them, and that 1t IS none of the states business how they are conducted. That only Catholics are interested, and if they are satis- fled that is sufficient. Judge kerw1n further points out that Catholics throughout the state pay without com plaint the taxes levied for public schools, and that if they desire in ad- ditions to maintain private institutions "it is nobody's business but their OWn"

 Vote in Senate.
PROHIBIT EXPORT
 OF WAR MUNITIONS
Hitchcock Gf Nebraska Will EndeayOr to Tack Amendment to Measure Pro- yiding fer Government Owner.
 ship of Merchantmen.

Washington, Jan. 27.-Believing that the best interests of humanity would be preserved by prohibiting the export of munitions of war from the United States to any of the bel ligerents engaged in the European conflict, Senator Hitchcock of Ne- b1aska will offer an amendment with this end in view to the administra- tion ship purchase bill. The propost- ton, as a mere resolution. was sub mitted to the senate several weeks ago and was referred to a commit tee where it has been pigeon-holed.
 in order 10 make the proposition germane 10 the shipping bill, Mr. Hitchcock will propose that muni- tiions of war shall not be carried On government-owne ships. AS the bill gives the shipping board authority to enforce shipping rules applicable to all American shipping. MT. Hitchcock believes the amendment not only would be germane, but will accom- ino about peace.
 The events in the senate today in. dicated plainly that an oldfashioned filibuster was on. After deman1 fer a quorum, Senator Gallinger, the minority leader, took the floor to make what by courtesy would be called a speech, but which was made up in the main of extracts from re- ports, newspapers and magazines from which MT. Galliger read copi, ously Despite his 70 years, the New Hampshire senator remained upon his feet, occupying the time of the senate from few minutes after Il until 6:30 o'clock.
 At 63O o'clock, when MT. Gallinger yielded the floor with the statement that he was good for seven long hours more," Senator Smoot. who was ready to jump into the breach, made point of no quorum.
 A quorum appeared and Senator Kern, majority leader, moved that the senate agree that at 9 o'clock it shall take a recess until tomorrow morning. Upon this motion there was no quorum. Three times the Re- publicans responded to make a, quorum and then trooped back to their cloak rooms to make it impos- sible for the record to show that a quorum was present on the vote.
 After the third roll call, upon which the vote to take the recess was 37 to g. Senator Overman. in the chair, decided the motion as having been adopted. In support of this he quoted the previous ruling of Vice President Sherman that the previous roll cali having disclosed quorum, the vote cast was sufficient. Senator Smoot then moved to adjourn. Ad- journment until g o'clock was taken.

She congratulated him on his three-day effort, and he beamed his satisfaction. He had just concluded an earnest appeal for 6 close accord bn ween capital and labor.
 Most of the difficulties in this world are due to the fact that men and women do not meet face to 1ace and adjust their grievances in an annie able spirit he said.
 AS though to give practical demon- straticn to his doctrine, h. at once invited "Mother" Jones to at once go f., his office and discuss with him the situation in Colorado. :.
 When the conference with "Mother Jones VAS at an end, MT. Rockefeller received representatives of the press For inc first time in the history , lthe Standord Oil company newspaper men were admitted to the inner ofhces of the concern With the utmost free dom, MT. Rockefeller discussed the problem of labor and outlined his plan for seeking remedy.
 Among other announcements madt by Mir. Rockefeller was that he will go to Color ado at the earliest possible mClnert and make an investigation a first hand of the evils which have been reported to exist. Mother Jone will probably accompany him.
 Following her talk with Mir. Rocke feller. Mrs Jones said:
