SHE WANTED HEART BALM, TOO.
But Mrs. Bacon Didn't Sue Hurley
as Baroness Bah Did.

New York. Feb. 1O.-Michael Joseph
Hurley. the St Louis oil magnate, mar
rowly escaped a second breach OF prom
ise suit in addition to that brought
against him by Baroness Ursula Barbara
Won Kalinowski, known as the Baroness
Bah. who sued for $4,000.
The second action was contemplated
by Mrs. Jesse B. Bacon. widow Of a Lin
coin, Nebr.. statesman. Mrs. Bacon S
intention to sue Hurley became known
today when he was sued for $500 coun-
sci fees by Attorney George f. Fleming.
Mr. Fleming testified today that his
bill was for services rendered in connec-
ton with Mrs. BacOn's suit, papers in
which were prepared but never filed.
He said further that he would have
filed the suit except for the fact that he
was attorney for the baroness. and
thought It would not look right for him
to be counsel in two suits directed by
different women against the same man.

aside by the voluntary action OF the ad-
ministratiOn Senators. Senator Norris
intimated yesterday that he would vote
to take up other important matters that
are pressing for consideration before the
Senate.
1t is barely possible that the ship bill
advocates may lay aside their bill or
ask that it be recOmmited and look to
the House for a solution of the problem
in the way the President has suggested
by reporting out the Weeks bill with ship
purchase legislation a rider. and send
ing the bill thus amended back to the
Senate. which passed It at the last ses-
sion OF Congress.
1t would be proper then to move for a
conference committee Of the two houses
to adjust the differences and bring the
ship legislation back into both houses in
the form Of conference report with the
parliamentary advantages which a con-
ference report always has over the or
dinary legislation.
But even with this program. if it can
be carried out in the House. there is
scarcely time left in which TO pass the
ship bill at this session. The extra
session IS believed to be inevitable and
Senators and Representatives believe
even If it is called as early as March )
the chances that it will be projected far
into the summer for there will be a
piling up Of other legislative matters
such as the rural credits bill. the con-
servatiOn bill. cotton legislation and
with the probability that the Philippines
bill and the river and harbor bill may so
over from the present session
Clayton Law worthless.
Following the disorderIy scenes Of the
early morning that characterized the all
night session due to the attempt of
the Democratic leaders to apply strong
arm methods to force a roll call on the
molten to recommit, the Senate settled
down to a typical filibustering debate.
Senator Sherman. Of Illinois, held the
floor during the remainder Of the Tues
day night session and was relieved by
Senator Townsend at o'clock yesterday
morning. who in turn gave way to Sena-
tor MCLane. OF Connecticut. Senator
Cummins. of Iowa, held the floor durins
most OF the afternoon. yielding to Sena-
tor Norris at the conclusion, who spoke
until the adjournment.
Speeches of Senator Norris and Sen
ator Cummins were signalized by at
taCks on the President for killing the
railroad securities bill. one of his
trio of antitrust bills. one of his
sion. Senator Cummins insisted that
the order went out from the White
House ito throw the securities bill
into the legislative discard, imme-
diately following the presence in
Washington OF certain prominent rail-
road officials"
Senator Norris declared positively
that the bill had been killed by the
Presidents order Senator Chiffon. of
West Virginia. ventured TO suggest
that the Clayton bill had been amend
ed to carry all OF the regulation
necessary and thus making the Sc
curities bill unnecessary.
II do not regard the Clayton law
as worth the paper it was written on
so far as its restraining influences on
big business is concerned" replied
Senator Norris. 1T permits the big
fellows to go on and do as they please
and simply makes the little ones un-
comfortable"

ment by .rany Senators on both sides
Undoubtedly this incident OF tne carr S
morning had its effect on the two Pro
gressive Republicans. Senators Norris and
Kenyon, who deplore any such scenes In
the Senate
Not the least remarkable Of the nights
incidents was the action of Secretary y
Bryan in urging Vice President Marshall
To support the Democratic plan by which
the Republicans were to be deprived OF
their rights under the rules Of the Sem
ate and a roll call was to be forced upon
them by arbitrary rulings. Mr.. Marshall
is said 70 have called attention very
forceabIy to the fact that he was Vice
President of the United States. with a
solemn duty to preside over the Senate
fairly and honestly. His refusal to par
ticipate in the Democratic plan was high
ly commended by many Senators.
Vote Significant.
The vote that was cast yesterday In
favor of adjournment was significant
senator Norris made a brief speech be-
fore the roll was called. in which he told
the Democratic side that they might just
as we'll admit that the bill could not be
passed at the present session and pro-
ceed to other matters and make ready to
take IN and pass the ship-purchase leZis-
Iation at an extra session OF congress
which the Senator declared to be newt
able.
It was conceded yesterday that Sena-
tors Norris and Kanyon have aligned
themselves with the Republicans for the
remainder of the fight for this session.
The forty-eight votes which yesterday
forced an adjournment OF the senate
over the protest OF the administration
Ieadars can and will force an adjourn
mani TODAY at 6 o'clock and each day
thereafter. It can put an end to night
sessions. Furthermore. the same vote
can probably be commanded for motion
to Law aside the ship purchase bill and
proceed to the consideration OF one Of
the general appropriation bills. That mo-
ton may be made today. It certainly
will be made within few days unless
the ship purchase bill Is soon laid
