MARSHALL TO DECIDE
 SHIP BILL CONTEST

Vice President Probably Will Cast
 Vote That Determines if Measure
 Lives or Dies at This Congress.
 Washington, Feb. 4.--Vice Presi- dent Marshall probably will cast the vote which decides whether the ad- ministration ship bil1 lives or dies at this session of congress. The last of the few instances in wn.-l the vice president of the United States has swung the balance was when the late James $. Sherman cast the deciding vote for the Bristow resolution which put a constitutional amendment for direct election of senators before the people.
 Administration democrats reformed their lines today and found they had only forty-six votes against forty eight republicans waiting to send the bill back to the commerce committee without instructions. Their only course was to stave .,f a vote while Senator Newlands hurries back from California and Senator Smith of South Carolina can come from his wife's sick room. With their votes the dem ocrats figure, that, barring surprises, the contest will be even on the floor and the vice president will be called on for the deciding vote. The admin istration leaders count him with them
 With this program before the sen- ate today's proceedings were carried on as Dart of the plan to hold off a vote until the arrival of the two ab- sent senators.
 In the course of the debate, Senator Hoke Smith said: Tt is understood that if the bill as now before the sen ate goes to a vote it will be beaten. It is also understood that if it is amended majority of the senate will vote for it."

HORN IS SENTENCED TO
 THIRTY DAYS IN JAIL
Convicted at VancebOrO, Me-, of Having Damaged Prop
 erty of Town.

Vanceboro, Me, Feb. 4-Werner Horn was today sentenced to thirty days in the county jail on conviction of having damaged property in this town by the explosion of dynamite under the international railroad bridge.
 The move was made, it is under stood, to avoid possible complications in further detaining the dynamiter without a formal charge having been made against him. Deputy Sheriff George w. Ross, who took him into custody Tuesday morning feared per- sonal liability in the matter and af- ter communicating with the office of the state attorney general obtained the warrant which was later served on the prisoner in his cell at the im- migration station.
 Horn will be given a hearing late this afternoon. Possibly at that time or at least before long, it is expected that he will be surrendered by the state to federal Jurisdiction and trans ferred to Bangor or Portland for a hearing before Federal Commissioner Charles H. Reid on the application of the British government for the ex- tradition of the prisoner to Canada
 Washington, Feb f. Great Britain's request for the extradition of Werner Horn, the German charged with dynamiting the Canadian Pacific bridge over the St. Croix river, rested in the state department today, where officials began a study of the papers While officials consistently declined to discuss it, it will be some time, and only after the most careful investiga- tion, before the case is put on it's course.
 Officials pointed out it was most unusual and complicated case, and one of the most interesting legal ques- tions that has arisen since the out break of the war.
 When the evidence is received by mail, the application for extradition and evidence will be sent to the local magistrate in Maine, where Horn is held on charges preferred by the state The secretary of state, finally, however, has discretionary powers and if he has reason to believe that prisoner may be tried for a political offense he withholds extradition Whether Horns act was a violation of American neutrality was discussed among officials as question that might raise another complication in the proceedings.
