AGREE TO SUSPEND
SENATE FIL|BUSTER

Washington, Feb. 12.-The situa-
tion In the fight over the administra.
tion ship bill underwent a complete
change as the result of conferences
between President Wilson and con.
gressional leaders.
1t was determined to relax the fight
in the senate, thus suspending the
historic filibuster while the important
appropriation bills are passed.
Meanwhile Senator Cores substi-
tute for the administration bill will
be introduced In the house as an
amendment to the Weeks bill, anoth-
er ship measure which already has
passed the senate. Under O special
rule 1t would be perfected to meet
the views of the administration and
then be presented to the senate for
action as new proposition.
The present bill, over which the
long fight has ensued, would be al
lowed to die In committee.
When the new bill comes over from
the house, IL the fight in the senate
Is renewed on 1t, President Wilson
will decide whether to call an extra
session of congress for consideration
OF the ship bill alone. His advisers
In congress advised him In both di.
rections.

ALLEGED POISONER
MAY ESCAPE TRIAL

New York, Feb. 12.-Frederic Mors,
whose confession that he killed eight
aged inmates of the German Odd Fell
lows home at Yonkers has been part
ly confirmed, may go free.
District attorneys in each of the
counties where Mors swore he COM
mitted the crimes expressed serious
doubts thaf the former orderly
could be convicted.
District Attorney Martin of Bronx
county said unless there are new de-
velopments he will not ask to have
the bodies of Mors' three alleged
Bronx county victims exhumed.
Martin said he learned that physi-
clans had prescribed arsenical mix
lures for each of the three men and
that an examination of the bodies
would show traces OF arsenic and
nothing more.
District Attorney Weeks of West
chester county said that nothing
could be accomplished unless eyewit.
nesses could be found.

Permitted TO Meet Panama
Canal Rates.
IMPORTANT FIGHT ENDS
Interstate Commerce Commission
Gives Carriers Permission to Ignore
Long and Short Haul Clause of the
Interstate Commerce Act.

st. Paul, Feb 12.--To meet new
traffic conditions which have arisen
with the opening of the Panama canal
the interstate commerce commission
has permitted transcontinental rail
roads TO establish certain commodity
rates from Eastern and Middle West
points 10 Pacific coast terminals low
er than those to intermediate points
In Intermountain territory. according
to word received from Washington.
The decision is a victory for St
Paul and oher Minnesota cities.
The decision brings to a conclusion
one of the. most important rate cases
In which the transcontinental rail
ways ever have been involved and
one OF vital interest to jobbing and
manufacturing companies in st. Paul
and the Central states. AS a result of
the decision the four transcontinen-
tai lines running west from st. Paul
will be enabled to compete with the
steamship lines operating through the
canal and the business interests of
st. Paul and other cities in the Mis-
sissippi valley will be enabled to con-
tinue i'm Pacific coast markets.
The order OF the commission gives
the railways permission to ignore the
fourth section of the act to regulate
commerce, which contains the long
and short haul clause.

FRENCH TAKE HILL POSITION
important Point Has Been FierceIy
Disputed for Weeks.

st. Omer, France. Feb. 1.-THE
capture OF the bill of Notre Dame de
Lorette by the French has been an
nounced at headquarters here. The
hill, which dominates the entire re-
gion, has been fiercely disputed for
weeks.
A position captured by the British
close to Violaines station was one OF
considerable Importance, as it over
looks La Bassee. The Germans make
several attempts to recapture 1t, but
the British troops had strongly forti-
fed lines and repulsed these attacks
with heavy slaughter. :.
The British have captured two
trenches near Festubert, taking 500
prisoners, who apparently belonged
to the newest class of German re-
cruits. Nearly all of them were
young and wore new uniforms.
