ID CRUSH REPUBLICANS SENATE
 HOLDS AN ALL NIGHT SESSION
ASSOCIATED PRESS pIsPArcHI

WASHINGTON, Jan. 29.-Deter- mined to crush the republican oppo- sition and the end of long fight over the government ship purchase bill, the democrats held the senate in session past midnight with the avOWed purpose of forcing final vote before recess or adjournment Shoot speaking at midnight, intimat- ed he would continue as long as his strength would permit.
 How the minority will be able to hold off vote no one can predict, but even the optimistic democrats admitted the continuous session might last until tomorrow night. Others thought it was likely to continue two or three days.
 The democrats will be serious in their parliamentary maneuvers, they having had succeeded, over vigorous republican opposition in putting the ship bill squarely before the senate on motion of Fletcher to put that dem ocratic caucus substitute for the ori- ginal bill upon its passage. There was an immediate demand for call for absentees and Shoot began speak ing while deputy sergeant at arms were securing the city for members.

PHOENIX MUST ACT AT ONCE
 TO JET ARM0RY SAYS HARRIS

the city of Phoenix are in position help of the citizens of Phoenix or they will cease to exist. These organiZa- tions are of the best in the state and are having excellent attendance at drill. For the time thus given by the men and officers they receive nothing. The time required from a private is not less than two and half hours a week, and this demand increases with the con- commissioned officers and officers, un til company commander needs prac- tically every one of his evenings for his military work.
 Because of the requirements of the war department, it was necessary last summer to secure better armory ac- comodations than had been previously provided, and for a temporary armory the old skating rink on First street was rented. The building at that time was only a shed. without front. with no windows and no inside rooms. In order that the building might be made partly suitable for armory purposes, several business men of Phoenix agreed to fur nish the necessary material, this ma terial to be paid for on installments by the companies, the funds being taken from the funds allowed each month by the state for the necessary expenses of the companies. This leaves the com- panies without a dollar for necessary expenses and the Phoenix organizations today are s2500.00 in debt. Had these arrangements not been made for this temporary armory, the companies and band would have been mustered out These organizations can not go on un- der present conditions and if they can (Continued on Page Three)

It was not he said, new and untried legislation but had operated effectively in West Vir- ginia and is regarded as a model by those states which have adopted pro- hibition.
 As to the search and seizure pro- vision of the bill to which some Objec- tion had been raised, MT. Rinehart said that it proposed no violation of the sanctty of the home that is now pos sible under existing laws against vari- ous kinds of crime It was not contem- plated. he said, that search would be made of homes unless there was reason to believe that the law was being vio- lated. A mere keeping of liquor in a home was not violation because that was not prohibited by the amendment. But if the home were believed to harbor

 Hobson said he had felt for some time the fleet would never go to the Pacific under the present adminstra- tion. He reviewed the situation in Eu- rope, referring to criticisms of Ameri- cas- conduct by both sides in the pres ent war and declared the situation closely paralleled conditions which led to the war with France in 1900 and that with England in 1872.
 Great Britain's attitude toward our purchase of ships of Germany is noth ing short of menacing" he declared. In reply, Williams of Illinois ridiculed the idea of Japan landing an invading force on the Pacific coast and insisted war from any side was but remote pos siblity. General debate of the naval bill closed late tonight and the reading of the measure for amendment will be- gin tomorrow.

NEW YORK, Jan 20. John R. Lawson, executive board member for Colorado of the United Mine Workers of America, attacked the testimony of John D.

OFFENSIVE OF RUSSIANS NOW
 HOLDS STAGE
With Armies of France and Flanders Recuperating, Action ill East Prussia Now Considered Most I'm portant of War
ASSOCIATED PRESS DIsPArcH]

LONDON, Jan. 29-With the armies of France and Flanders recuperating after the strenuous fighting of the earlier days of the week, only local actions being recorded, interest in the war situation has transferred to the Russian offensive in East Prus sia and the attempt of the strong Austro- German army to dislodge the troops of Emperor Nicholas from their positions in the Carpathians. In East Prussia the Russian offensive developed in the extreme north where renewed fighting seems to confirm the belief that a definite effort to advance north to the Mazurian lake district, where previously Russians were defeated, has been decided up- on by the Russian general staff More vital to both sides however, is the campaign in the Carpathians where southwest of Dukla pass the Russians delivered an energetic at tack. According to their account of the combat they compelled the Aus tro- Germans to retreat, leaving be- hind ammunition and stores. This attack, according to military obser- vers indicates attempts by the Rus sans to turn the flank of the Tue ton allies.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 29.-In final appeal in the house tonight Congress man Hobson of Alabama, declared it is his firm conviction the United States secured peace with Japan only by giv- ing assurances of a speedy retirement of the Philippines. Moreover, he said he believed when the American fleet went around the world during Presi- dent Roosevelt's administration it was allowed to go to Japan only with the assurance it would be out of the Pa cific by fixed date. He declared that Wilson and Bryan are the greatest ob- stacles to the national defense.
