After seeing the president yesterday
morning Senator Stone characterized as
"wild" a rumor around the capitol that
he discussed withdrawal OF the ship pur-

II don't think the bill will be with.

Lusitania incident strengthens it inn
measurably. 1t shows that though the
American flag will not protect ship

nrotect her from torpedo or shot.
Therefore it is imperative to our ex-

Washington, Feb. administrator
leaders in the Senate ship purchase tight
were delighted yesterday at the ARRIVAL
az Senator Smith OF South Carolina,
whom they had given up hope Of seeing.
Senator Newlands of Nevada also reached
the battle line yesterday, completing the
Democratic mobilization.
Senator Fletcher, in charge OF the ship
purchase bill. announced yesterday that
administration leaders in the Senate
would insist upon keeping the measure
before the Senate even if it forced an
extra session He stated that he would
offer his amendment to the Clarke mo
ton to recommit the bill TO the Senate
commerce committee and declared he in
tended to keep it before the Senate to
the exclusion OF all other business.
The Democrats were ready yesterday
afternoon for vote whenever they could
force one. Even on the motion made by
the boiling Democrats to send the bill
back to a hostile committee, they were
willing for the first time for rollcall,
On this motion Senator Kenyon was
pledged to vote with the Republicans
and a rolIcall, according to poll, would
therefore stand AZ to AZ, with the vice
presidents vote deciding.
The motion to send the bill back to
the committee if this plan is decided
upon win be amended by the Democrats
to instruct the committee to report the
bill back Immediately with the two
amendments agreed upon.
The other plan would be to vote on
Senator Cores motion to force out his
substitute bill, which already contains
the amendments desired This was the
plan until Senator Smiths arrival made
the choice of the two courses possible.
On hearing OF the arrival of Senators
Newlands and Smlln, the Republicans OPP
posed to the ship purchase bill met in
Senator Gallinger's Office to reform their
battle line. 1t was decided that Senator
Dillingham; OF Vermont should speak on
immigration, this being hoped to call
Senator Smiths attention wildly to the
presidential veto of that bill, OF which
Senator Smith was in charge.

Philadelphia, Feb, 9.-Figures com

about the price Philadelphans will pay
for the work done by Billy Sunday, for
the free-will Offering by his hearers has
been very large.
Out of this amount Mr.. Sunday Will
pay at once 81 900 to the members OF
his party, and will put aside one-tenth
for charitable purposes. Gods tenth,
he calls that. Friends say he may make
donations to members of his party and
to religious and charitable work. But it
is certain he will take from Philadelphia
very large sum as his share OF the
contributions made on the last day.
Up to and including Sunday night
those who streamed down the aisles and
shook the evangelist's hand numbered
2o543. OF these 5,922 were children.

The executive committee of the asso-
citation, made up of one member from
each of the thirty districts of Iowa
will be present at meeting in Des
Moines on that day.
A great many important matters will
De taken up, particularly with refer
ence to bills which the association will
present to the legislature.
Some of the matters which un-
doubtedly will come up for discussion
Will be the establishment of state i'm
migration bureau, so as to enable Iowa
to be in position to get the best OF
the immigration which is bound tc
come at the close of the present Euro
pean war; a publicity bill which will
enable the proper authorities to adver-

Using will be to her advantage; a state

will enable the working men in the

all the commercial organizations OF
the state, accurate and scientific in
formation concerning the Industrial
possibilities and opportunities in Iowa
and an endorsement of the Smith

preparation to help pay for the county

Governments Offer.
Under this bill the federal govern
ment agrees to put up an amount equal
to whatever is appropriated by the
state or county-up to certain limit
the limit will be about $4,000, at the
end Of five years, so that If the Iowa
legislature wants to take advantage OF
this donation by the federal govern
ment it will have to make an appro-
priation gradually increasing until at
the end of five years it will amount to
about $4,000 a year. If this is done
it can get the additional $4,000 from
the federal government. The Greater
| Iowa Association believes this is a
mighty good thing for the state and 1t
is thought the executive committee
will pass favorably upon this matter
next Friday. Among those who will be
