ORDERS PROBE IN
 SHIP BILL FIGHT
Senate to Investigate All Charges
 Of Influences.

Washington, Feb. 5.-Investigation of all charges of influences at work for and against the administration ship bill was ordered today by the senate.
 Administration democrats and fili Clustering republicans unanimously voted for resolution to look into charges of lobbying by the so-called shipping trust and to inquire into any negotiations by administration off, cials to buy belligerent ships.
 Marshall Names Committee.
 Vice President Marshall at once appointed Senators Walsh, Simmons Reed, Burton and Weeks, three dem ocrats and two republicans, to make the inquiry. 7.
 There are only fifteen working days left to the siXty-third congress. Some senators were of the opinion that such an investigation, likely to be prolonged, made improba the pas sage of. ther bill before March and practically assured an extra session if the president adhered to his deter imitation to press the measure.
 Amended By Committee.
 Senator Burtons original resolu- ton to have the senate inquire wheth- CT there had been any negotiations by administration officials looking to the purchase of ships of belligerents was amended by the committee, which provides expenses for investigation to include inquiry into charges of oppo- sition to the bill by the so-called ship ping trust, and in that form was passed unanimously.
 While the senate was acting Sec retary McAdoo was notifying Senator Fletcher that he was preparing all the information on the subject called for in the original resolution. The pas sage of the resolution was preceded by a vigorous speech by senator Reed in defense of the secretary of the treasury and renewed charges that shipping interests had lobbied against the bill.
