.DESERT|OKS STOP
SHIP BILL FOR
THIS WEEK
Senators Norris and Kenyon Back
With Republicans
ADJOURNMENT AFTER IS HOURS
Compromise Bill Acceptable to the
Boilers viii Probably Be tho
Final Outcome.

Washington, Feb. 10--A sudden
shift in the situation of the Ship Pur-
chase bill in the Senate this evening
changed materially the status of that
Administration measure. So far as It
into the business OF owning and oper-
ating merchant vessels, the bill ap-
pears TO be dead. II is generally
agreed that it cannot be passed in It's
present form in view OF the desertion
of the measure today by Senator'S Nor.
ris and Kenyon.
Efforts are being made tonight to
effect compromise by which the
measure, if enacted. will provide that
ships bought by the government shall
be operated only for the emergency
period covered by the European war.
and then shall be turned over to the
navy for use as auxiliaries or sold
Any compromise must also provide, IL
seems to be clear, that no interned
merchant vessels OF countries now at
war shall be bought by the United
States government. At the conclusion
of the struggle in Europe, according
to present plans, the government
would retire from the merchant ship
ping business.
The bill tonight was in the most
perilous situation yet arising from the
prolonged filibuster against it. Con-
vinced at last that the filibuster could
be continued until March 4. blocking
all other legislation and making an ex-
ira session necessary Senator Norris
OF Nebraska and Senator Kenyon OF
Iowa. radical Republicans favoring the
bill, late this afternoon refused to
support further the existing tactics OF
the Administration Senators. Mr..
OGorman of New York, one Of the lead
ers of the Democratic opposition 10
the BILL moved to adjourn, and at GIL
p, NJ, his motion, by vote of 4S TO
46 as adopted, Messrs. Norris and Ken
yon voted with the opposition The
Senate had been in session 55 hours
and II minutes the longest continuous
session in its history. In 1898 the re-
peal of the silver purchase clause OF
the Sherman law ketp the Senate In
session for 3S hours and az
minutes, a record for that period, and
one that was not surpassed until now.

YES, SHE DID KNOW.
And Proved II to Her Critical Old
Sinqinq Master.


Many years ago in an old French
church in Berue, great choir under
the famous old leader. tather Rcchei,
was having its final rehearsal for the
production of the Messiah The
chorus had triumphantly sung through
10 the place where the soprano solo
takes up the refrain. IL Know That
My Rcdeemer Liveth." The singer WAS
beautiful woman. whose voice had
been faultlessly trained As the tones
came out high and clear the listeners
were filled With wonder at her per.
feet. technique Her breathing was
faultless. her note placing perfect, her
enunciation beyond criticism.
After the final note there was II
pause, and all eyes were turned toward
the old conductor to catch his look of
approval. Great was the surprise
however. when a sharp rap of the
baton was heard, as a command for
the orchestra TO pause. and with Il look
of sorrow Father Reichel said to the
singer, my daughter, you do not real
ly know that your Redeemer liyeth.
do youT
With a flushed face she replied,
why, yes, think | do"
Then sing it, he cried Sing it
from your heart. Tell 1t to me so
and all who hear you will know and
know that you know the joy and pow
er Of it." Then with an imperious
gesture he motioned for the orchestra
to 80 over it again.
This time the young woman sang
with no thought of herself or of tech.
nique and applause from her hearers.
She sang the truth that she knew in
her heart and experienced in her
life and that she wished to send
home to the hearts of the listeners As
the last notes died away there was no
wonder at the craftsman's work. but
there were quickencd hearts that had
been moved by the glorious message
they had received. AS the singer stood
forgetful of applause, the old master
stepped up and with tears in his eyes
kissed her on the forehead and said.
you do know, for you have told me-"
