MciDOC DENIES MAKING
NEGOTI ATIO\S FOR VESSELS

Washington, ID. C.-Secretary Nc
Adoo gave out last night copy of a
letter to Senator Fletcher, emphatic
ally denying intimations that he had
entered into any negotiations for the
purchase OF merchant steamers oil
belligerent nations for operation un-
der the proposed ship purchase bill.
Mr.. McAdoo summed up his state
ment as follows:
"In view of false rumors anu
statements which have come to my
ears, permit ME to say in conclusion
that the secretary of the treasury
has at no time had a communication
from or discussion with any banking
house, banking institution or bank
ers in or out of the United States
in connection with the purchase
sale or disposition in any manner
whatsoever of the German ships in
termed in the ports of the United
States or elsewhere, or in connection
with any other ships of belligeren'
or neutral nations for any purpose
whatever" +"

BRITISH RATION
INCLUDES RUM
ARMY PHYSICIANS CONTEND
THIS is MEG EsSAi;N "NlEDICINE.'

London England. C orrespond-
ence of the Associated press) - A
daily ration OF rum is still part of the
regular supplies OF British soldiers
in the actual fighting line. but ii is
doled out under the head OF "medi-
cine. and the quantity allowed is
only three tablespoonfuls with rations
for two days.
This small ration of alcohol was
considered indispensable by the army
hysicians. writes a correspondent
to the Liverpool Post, They consid-
cred it necessary that the soldier eX-
posed to the cold for hours in the
trenches, should have some stimu-
liant available, and experience taught
that the drop of rum taken either
straight or in his tea, was the thing"
In some quarters fears have been
expressed that the distribution of an
alcoholic stimulant to the soldiers
might lead some of the men to form
permanent habits OF drinking, but
army leaders replied that the guam
| tity handed ont was too small TO
| Justify any such fear, and moreover
| ii is given to men only when they are
actually in the front lines or in eX-
| posed positions on outpost duty.
| AS a matter of fact, everything is
| done to insure the sobriety of the
troops. When the armies are either
advancing or retreating through a
town all the saloons are closed, and
the same measure is taken wherever
the troops are in occupation of a
town.
Old campaigners declare that their
daily spoonful of rum is a safeguard
against certain diseases. such as
cholera
As a matter OF fact, notwithstand-
ing the army's purchase of rum the
total importations of this beverage
have fallen Off more than half since
the beginning CT the war. importers
explain by saying that rum makers
in Jamica and the West Indies are
not making as much as formerly. be
cause a greater profit is to be realiz
ed just now from the sale of sugar
lalthough the price of rum has advanC
ed about seventy per cent.

GERMANY'S BLOCKADE
OF GREAT BRITAIN IN
EFFECT AT MIDNIGHT
HOUSE OBEYS
WILSON ORDER
RUSHES COMPROMISE SHIP BILL
THROUGH PRACTICALLY
WITHOUT ANY CONSID-
ERATION.

Washington, ID. C.-The govern
ment ship purchase bill as an amend
ment TO the Weeks naval auxiliary
bill, was passed by the House All / 20
o clock this morning by vote of . 5
TO l21. When Minority Leader Mann
saw that the democratic leaders We're
determined to stop the filibuster. sew
eral conferences were held and it
was agreed not TO keep up the dla-
tory fight and a few minutes after
passage of the bill.
The passage of the bill followed
Ia hours OF parliamentary struggle
which until long after midnight
threatened to extend interminably
because of determined filibuster
led by Minority Leader Mann, who
yielded only once after administra-
tion leaders decided TO apply sec
end special rule to bring the fight to
an end. The bin will so to the SEN
ate at noon today.
Nineteen democrats voted against
the bill. They We're: Bathrick, Bor
chers, Galloway. Dies, Donohoe, Fitz-
gerald, Gerry, Geordon, Jones, Kin
del, Ktchin, Morrison. Moss of In
diana, Page of North Carolina, Saun-
ders, Slayden, Whitacre, White and
Witherspoon. All of the republicans
present voted against the bill and
five progressives joined with the dem
ocratic majority for it as follows.
Bryan, Kelly of Pennsylvania. Mac
Donald, Lafferty and Murdoch.
Democratic leaders in both houses
of Congress agreed last night that
the government ship purchase bin
either would be before President Will
son for his signature within a few
days or dead so far as this session is
concerned. The House remained in
session until late in the night and
passed the Weeks-Gore bill, as the
amended measure is known, and to-
day the administration forces will be-
gin final effort to get vote in the
Senate on the House amendment over
the opposition of the republicans and
revolving democrats. Majority leaders
spoke confidently of the prospect OF
victory and President Wilson, after
"A conference with Senator Kern, told
callers the bill would be passed.
On both sides OF the capitol belief
was current that if present plans for
prompt action in the Senate fell
through the ship bill would be aban-
doned. and all efforts centered upon
disposing of appropriation bills TO
make unnecessary an extra session.

After a recess, the senate took up

municipal suffrage to women in the
state. and the fire works were on for
the rest of the afternoon. The senate
galleries We're crowded with women
who were both for and against the
measure. and who did not hesitate to
express their appreciation of the
points made by their champions on
the floor. Waters led for the bill. He
explained just what officers and what
propositions could be voted for by
women under the bill, and said that
as long as the bill is subject to a
referendum the people would pass
upon ii went into effect. He quoted
the Illinois decisions on the act OF
that state and said that tax and
rent paying women should have a
right to help govern the home as we'll
as men.
/ Stephens for the opposition held
that. the constitution of Illinois un-
der which women are given NUM-
cipal suffrage is as different from the
constitution OF South Dakota as day
is from night. The people of the
state had said five times since state
hood that they did not want women
suffrage and he argued that the
present move is only an opening
wedge to complete suffrage.
Browne opposed the bill and cited
Denver and Chicago to show that the
vote of women will not purify poll
tics. and said he believed the place OF
women was in the home.
I HAYES made an eloquent plea for
universal suffrage. and said that the
vote of women would always be found
for what was good and right. and al
ter his plea for women had drawn
applause from the galleries, said that
while these We're his sentiments he
would have to vote against the bill
as he did not believe it to be constr
tutional.
L,lndley was ready to leave the
constitutional features to the courts
and said it is not fair that teachers
and mothers are not allowed to vote
Mclean believed that conditions
