(By Associated PreSS.)

Washington, Feb. 9.-After another
all-night session, the Senate fight over
the ship purchase bill dragged along
YEARLY today.
Senator Jones, Of Washington, held

yielding this morning to Senator Nc
Cumber, another Republican, at $3.50
o'clock.
Few members remained in the cham
Der during the night, but a majority
was always in easy call. The ante
rooms had been fitted with cots and
the senators were enabled in this way
to snatch a few hours sleep and still
be close at hand if Republican rails
ed the point of no quorum.
Senator Hitchcock today took a slap
at the administration when he sub
mitted an order which would require
all senators to remain in the chamber
until the fourth Of March and to pro
hibit them from communicating with
the President or with cabinet officers
for the purpose of ascertaining how to

till the last gun was fired. Still he
would go to war again, if King
Georges recruiting agents would only
take him in.
'Would l fight for the Allies?" Mr.
McGregor was asked today. Would
fight? Just let them give me
chance to shoulder musket. may
not be able to see as well today as i
could forty years ago. Maybe !
wouldn't pc aDle TO take the long
marches and spend days in the
trenches like the boys over there on
the continent today. But | could do

All ] want is a chance"

said today, He lives on River avenue.

Last midnight this was one end of a
conversation over the telephone with
Headquarters, carried on by M. E.
Cooper, book-keeper at the First-Na.

at the Seay Inn.
In about five minutes two of Chief

men didn't recognize the young men
in their night clothing, but they intro.

Without waiting for the poicemen's

CHlNAMAN SAYS RESTAURANT
MAN GOT FINED "TOO
CHEAPY."

Hon Kim, professional Chinese iaun-
dryman, and G. b. Ates, the portly
and erstwhile genial proprietor OF
Ates' Eating House, on West Pine
near the latter's place of business
and it took half a dozen street car
motormen and policeman or two to
separate the pair.
A charge Of assault and battery, the
second in two days, was preferred by
HON Kim against Ates. The trial
will come up tomorrow morning at 8
O'Clock in Mayor Batson's court. Ates
was not arrested, but was notified by
/ Policeman Rayner to be in court at
that time.
he latest encounter was the direct
result Of the trial in Mayor. Batson's
court this morning, where Ates was
forced to answer assault and battery
charges preferred by the Chinaman
yesterday. Ates was fined $3.50. The
Chinaman, after court adjourned, ap.
lea,cd to be satisfied. Not so, later
in the day, Ates said.
TO an interested crowd of motor
men, HON Kim was busily engaged in
recounting the incidents which led up
to today's trial, this afternoon, and
was jabbering in pigeon English that
/ Thea finey was too cheapy," when
Ates happened to pass by. 1t wasn't
two minutes until the pair were at
each other. Ates, it is said, bit HON
! Kim in the side of the face, and was
still biting when separated.
! This mornings trial was the result
of an encounter in the Ates' restau-
rant yesterday.
The trial attracted no little atten-
tion, and scores of persons, hearing
that How Kim would tell the court the
story of the encounter which he said
had so loosened his teeth that he was
unable to eat the two pork chops he
had purchased at the Ates' House, were
there early to hear it.
The Chinaman said he went into the
restaurant to order his dinner, and
while waiting for it, he saw one of his
customers who owed him 72 cents. He
asked for the amount, he said, when
his customer became wrathy and told
him to sit down and shut up. Then it
was that the proprietor came upon the
scene and demanded silence. A china
man trying to collect a 72-cent bill
can't be muffed, the testimony show.
ed, and Ates had to put him out. Hon
Kim said he did so roughly that he
cut his mouth and bruised his nose
and face. Ates denied striking the
laundryman. although he admitted
pushing him with the back" of his
hand.
The minimum fine was imposed.
