Senate Decides to Conduct Inquiry into Charges of Influences for and Against the Measure by tn e Shipping Trust"
PLOT TO BUY
 INTERNED SHIPS
Intimated Certain Interests Planned to Secure Op- tions on Boats of Bellig- crents and Then Sell to Government at Advance
ASSOCIATED PRESS DIsPArcHI

WASHINGTON. Feb 15.-The last hope of the passage of the adminis- tration ship purchase bill at this ses- sion departed when by unanimous de- cision of the senate it was decided to !conduct an inquiry into the charges of influences for and against the bill by the shipping trust" followed in timations by democrats and republi- leans. It was suggested there had lbeen negotiations for options on in- termed belligerent ships with a view to sell them to the government by outsiders connected with government officials.
 Although the house democrats con- tinued plans to pass the amended ship bill as soon as the senate repub- licans asserted the filibuster would be continued, because of the turn of af- fairs, it is considered unlikely an ex- tra session will be called for some Itime, if at all.

LONDON, Feb. 15.-The countries fighting Germany, Austrla and Fur key up to the present have thrown only one third of their strength in the field To maintain this force and to bring the remaining two-thirds into action will cost ten billion dol lars during the current year. This announcement was made in the house of commons by David Lloyd George, chancellor of the exchequer. who, with Winston Churchill, first lord of the admiralty, gave the Bri- tish public perhaps a closer view of the machinery behind the great struggle than has been afforded since the outbreak of the war. Churchill disclosed for the first time the total naval losses of the war. Those, he said were upwards of five thousand officers and men, the ma jority being victims of the sub marines.
 Churchill declared amid cheering that Great Britain had finally decid- ed to clamp on every ounce of sea pressure to choke off Germany's food supply in retaliation for the German submarine policy. while Lloyd George drew additional cheering by reference Ito loans to the countries which he said he expected to throw in their lot with the allies These countries were not named.
 It was the first time reference was made in parliament to such expecta- tions Announcement of the govern ments decision with relation to Ger manys food supplies came almost coincidentally with the receipt of two dispatches from the United States. one saying the German ambassador had informed the Washington gov ernment that Germany was willing to abandon her submarine policy pro- vided Great Britain ceased interfer- ing with cargoes of foodstuffs, the other saying that Germany again |advised neutral shipping to avoid the waters Germany declared would become a dangerous military sea area three days hence.
 Lloyd George gave details of the financial arrangements of the allies las they had been decided at the Paris conference of the French. Bri- Itish and Russian minister of finance. and put into round figures what heretofore had been guessed at. the remarkable increase of productivity land efficiency of the Russian people by the prohibition of the sale of vodka This increase he placed as high as fifty per cent. Great Britain. the chancellor said, had resources which would last five years. France perhaps had sufficient for three years.
 The chancellor of the exchequer. said
 For the year ending December 31 next the aggregate expenditure of the allies will not be far from ten billion dollars. The British empire will spend considerably more than either of our two great allies, prob ably from one hundred to one hun dred and fifty million pounds more
 than the highest figures spent by
 the other two great allies.

The Virginia enterprise., 1915-06-18

LONDON, June 17.-Turkish troops
in the Dardanelles have been repulsed
in their attempt to recapture trenches
lost by them to the British and French
on June IL, according to the official
statement of the situation on the Dar-
danelles, issued in London.
The campaign against the Russians,
on which the Germans are concentrat-
ing their offensive efforts is developing
another phase in the violent attack on
Russian Poland At the same time the
Germans are pushing back the Rus
slams in the Baltic provinces with the
help of the Austrians, in Galicia. The
official communication from Petrograd
contains the admission that the Ger
mans have occupied additional villages
near Shawl, in the Baltic regions, but
states the Russians have reec:, . % +
ground near Przasnyz, which lies to
the north of Warsaw. The Germans
are apparently making their most de-
termined effort on the Polish front,
although the fortress of Ossowetz has
again been attacked.
The Galician campaign has reached
the critical stage in view of the con-
tinued successes of the Germans and
Austrians.

LOCAL SCHOOLS:
SHOW A,SIEADY
GAIN IN PUPILS
Enrolment in 1904 was 1,05o,
While Figures for 1914-15
Term Shows 4,261.
NIGHT SCHOOL ENJOYS
A REMARKABLE GROWTH
Faculty Grows from Small Mum.
Der to 11O-Number of Build
in Also Show Increase.

That the local schools have shown
a great growth since 1904 is evi-
denced by figures on file in Clerk
Lizer's office.
In 1904 only 1850 students were
attending the Virginia shools. Fig
ures for the past School year show a
total enrolment of 4,261. In the day
school were 3,155 students, while
1,106 pupils took advantage Of the
night school courses.
The growth Of the attendance has
been steady. The biggest gain was
experienced in 1910 when the enroll
ment jumped from 1,849 to 2,215 or
366.
The night school system was estab-
lished in 1909, 1863 students being en-
rolled in the first classes. The in
crease in the night school attendance
has also been steady.
The biggest gain in the evening
classes enrolment came at the be-
ginning of the past term when the
enrolment leaped from 719 to 1,106..
Corresponding with the increase in
attendance the faculty Of the school
has been enlarged. The teaching force
for the 1914-1915 term numbered 10
teachers.
The number of school buildings has
kept pace with the growth in enroll
ment figures. It is thought the next
building erected will be a manual
training school in the rear of the
Roosevelt structure.

CANS
.ARRESFED0N A
SERIOUS COUNT
Complaint Sworn Out Charges
Him With Forging George
Hamilton's Name.

William Cans, for several months
employed as porter at the Hamilton
saloon, Chestnut street and Cleveland
avenue, was arrested last evening
when alighting from the Range train
by the Duluth police department for
the Virginia department charged with
forging the name of George Hamil-
ton to check for SIP. The complaint
was made by Frank Jakse, bartender
at the Robertson saloon, who cashed
the check. Deputy Sheriff O'Dea will
bring Cans to Virginia this evening
for examination.
Two other checks on which the name
of Mr.. Hamilton were forged were
passed by Cans. They were cashed
by Alec Mattila and Robert Thorpe,
proprietors of local saloons.
Ernest Zimmerman, who has been
employed as porter in several of the
local hotels and restaurants, was with
Cans when the checks were passed and
is being held by the police.
The forged checks were all on the
American Exchange bank.
The forgery was discovered last
evening by Jakse, who Immediately
notified police headquarters, with the
result that Cans was arrested as soon
as he reached Duluth.
Because of his habits and his lik-
ing for liquor Cans was discharged by
Mr.. Hamilton about two weeks ago.
He created some disturbances at the
time by refusing to turn the keys to
the building over to the persons in
charge.
Mr.. Hamilton is confined to his home
at present with a sore foot, on which
he had an operation about week ago.

Ships Boats Were Not In COndi-

Passengers.
(BY ASSOCIATED PRESS.)

LONDON, June lion the re-
sumption of the official investigation
into the sinking Of the Lusitania, two
important points were developed. The
first was that second submarine was
lying in wait on the portside Of the
Lusitania and the second was that
despite the lesson of the Titanic dis
aster, the Lusitania's boats were not
in a condition of accessibility for the
handling Of the passengers.
Sir Edward Carson expressed his
conviction Of second submarine near
the Lusitania in reply to the argument
put forward by Baron Mercy, who
said he thought mistake had been
made by Seaman O'Neil, who testi-
fled he saw the wash of a torpedo
passing the stern of the Lusitania
from the port to the starboard side,
after the liner had been hit on the
starboard side.

ELKS' FIRST TEAM TR0UNCES
SECOND STRING STARS IN HARD
FOUGHT GAME AT OLIVER PARK

The Elks' first team players last
evening showed their superiority over
Liven Peterson's second string nine
at Oliver park, winning 8 to 6. Owing
to the condition Of the grounds, only
seven innings were played.
The first team held the lead from
the start. In fact, the older players
claim the scorer cheated them out of
several runs, while the umpire made
them give the Peterson hopefuls six
outs in one inning.
Fred Walker pitched for the winners
and was in excellent shape. He famed
several of the second team and twirled
good ball in the pinches. Harry Gill
lespie caught for the victors and hit
we'll. Emmet Taylor, Keith Maitland,
R. L. Griggs and David E. Cupper-
null composed the winners infield,
while Edward F. Johnson, Daniel D.
