They stood in the biting wind out
side the back door Of the Hotel Knick-

men and young men; there were
worthy men and there were hoboes. But

DEMOCRATS FORCE
ship BILL AHEAD
Senate in a Tumult as Ma

PrecedentS.

Washington, Jan. 30.-At o'clock
this morning Republicans admitted
that the Democratic Senators, Il they
continued their present parliamentary
tactics, would probably succeed in
passing the ship purchase bill by to-
right Senator Smoot then held the
floor, speaking to an almost deserted
chamber.

Gratis of the Senate tonight advanced
the ship purchase bill to the verge Of
passage and threatened to prolong the
fight without pause until they had
achieved their purpose.
The advance was made in the face
Of desperate opposition by the Repub-
licans Points OF order were showered
at the chair. which was occupied by
Senator Swanson. and roll after roll
was called, but this merely served TO
delay the conflict An order was en-
tered for warrants for the arrest of
absentees. and with the arrival of SEN
ators summoned from banquets and
dinners the two sides settled down 10
ar all-night struggle.

Of parliamentary strategy swept aside
and their points of order overrdden
by the remorselcss majority. Charges
we're made that all precedents of the
Senate were being swept away and rules
ignored. and moro than one prediction
was made by Republicans that the
Democrats would rue the day they had
rcsortcd 20 such extremes to gain their
point.
By taking advantage Of the parlia-
mentary situation the Democrats sue
ceeded in laying on the table the
amendment offered by Senator Lodge 10

of the way, Senator Fletcher moved the
adoption Of the substitute bill. as ap-
proved by the Democratic caucus. and
this was made the pending question.
For more than two hours the Senate
chamber was in tumult When vote

After hours Of wranging the Lodge

vote Of IS to 10. The substitution of
