A conductor is charged with Is de-

pline bulletin for the month OF January,
which has been issued from the office
Of L. L. Morris, superintendent Of the

intoxicating liquors. which is the brutal
way of expressing rule c. A tele-
graph operator was charged with 30

IgOe criticised Browne for having en-

said Browne had been quoted at the be-

would not enter a caucus unless it was
attended by all the Democrats.

SENATE To YIELD

the Ship Purchase Meas
ure in the Senate.
lContinued From PnEe Onel.

Democrats The debate on the appeal
then was continued.
HitcbeOck's Substitute.
Senator Hitchcock prepared a substi-
tute for the Reed order which he sub
mitted as follows:
All senators are required to appear
forthwith in the senate chamber and to
remain in the chamber until March 4,
1915. They are prohibited from hold
ing secret party caucuSeS for the con-
sderatiOn of public business. They are
prohibited from communicating with
the president or cabinet officers for the
purpose of asceTtaining how to vote or
what measures to support or oppose.
They are required hereby and under
the constitution to vote in accordance
with their convictions and Judgment"
Hitchcock Questions Sincerity.
Senator Hitchcock declared he did
not criticise the president for attempt
ing to enforce his convictions, but he
hoped senators would respect their
own.
Not one-half of the senators on this
side of the chamber (the Democratic
side) believe in the bill, in my opin-
iOn," he added.
e. Senator Reed moved to amend the
Hitchcock substitute by providing that
all secret meetings, conferences or
caucuses between disgruntled or bolt
ing members, or Republicans, or pro-
prietOrs or agents of any pool or any
trust interested in legislation, shall be
held to be a conference within the
meaning of the order"
Democrats May Lose New York.
Senator O'Gorman, in denunciatlon
of the conduct of the senate's business,
declared it was doubtful if the state of
New York would remain in the Demo-
cratic column and that it certainly
would not If the people should find that
their representatives in the senate could
be bound hand and foot by a caucus.
The proceedings of this senate in
constitutional government" said sena-
tor O'Gcrman. The command comes
from without the walls of the capitol
to pass this ship purchase bill before
the appropriation bills.
The situation in which the Demo-
cratic party now finds itself may well
exceed the anxiety Of those who love
their party"
DenOunces Wilson's Orders.
Concluding, senator OGorman de-
clared there would be as much warrant
for the president sending for the chief
justice of the United States supreme
court to come to the white house to
discuss a pending case as to send for
n senator to take his orders.
While the debate proceeded, admins !
tration leaders asked senator Reed to (
withdraw his proposed order that de- /
bate might proceed on the merits of the 4
issue. When he sought to do so, how /
