face proved to be his fortune when
the probate court here declared the
four-year- boy heir to the Slingsby
estate because he looks like Lieutenant

younger brother contended that the boy
was not the lieutenant's legitimate heir

been cut off without a cent.

washington, Feb. 9.--The effort to
break the continuous session in the
senate. which has been forced by the
administration Democrats in an att
tempt to pass the government ship
purchase bill, failed early tonight and
preparations were made for another
Ril-night session.
The Republicans were surprised at
the strength commanded by the, adj
ministration forces when Senator
Clarke moved the senate adjourn until
noon tomorrow They had hoped that
Senator Norris, Progressive Republi-
can, would not stand with the Demo-
cratic majority on the motion. Nor
ris, however, voted against the mo-
ton. as did Senators La Toilette and
Kenyon. He later voted witlh the adj
ministration supporters for Ahe first
time since the beginning Of the ship
bill struggle. The vote was forty
eight to forty-six
Administration leaders declared the
senate session might last week with
ont Interruption. The opposition lead
ers. however, said that an effort viii
be made tomorrow to break the dead
lock. Had the opposition alliance
forced an adjournment. the Republic
cans had planned to try and displace
the blll tomorrow by motion for
consideration of the postoffice appro-
priation bill. Such an attempt may
yet be made. Should they succeed
the administration leaders probably
will be unable to get the pending
measure before the senate again be-
fore March 4.
In the light Of the vote tonight the
Democratic leaders are confident their
lines will hold, although some Repub-
leans intimated that Senator Norris
might soon desert the majority unless
the flibuster could be broken and the
continuous session ended.
President Wilson took occasion dur
ing the day to reassure callers there
was no intention of Withdrawing the
buI. even should 1t be necessary to
cali an extra session. Senator Nc
Cumber began the night aback on the
bill.
