Gates TO make the District of Columbia
dry" territory by rejecting the motion
of Senator Sheppard TO suspend the
rules TO make way for a prohibition
amendment.

toxicatinc liquor in the District of Co
lumbia. Prohibition advocates pre-
dictcd that the issue would be pre-.
scnted again in a short time. Several
Senators who voted against the sus.

REPUBLICANS BEGIN
FIGHT IN SENATE
Rural Credits Said To Be In
jected Into Meeting for Block
ing Wilson Scheme.

Washington. Jan. 1S.-As a compro-
mise with the rural credits advocates
and a reminder to the farmers OF the
country that they have not been over
locked by the Democratic party the
Democratic caucus of the Senate to
night adopted a resolution giving rural
credits a place on their legislative pro,
rramme. The resolution was offered
by Senator Robinson, Of Arkansas, and
requests the Banking and Currency
Committee to report rural credits
bill Il was also stated 70 be the sense
OF the caucus that the bill be consid-
creC by the Senate at the earliest pos
sible date
The injection Of rural credits into
the caucus discussion was interpreted
i'm some quarters as move TO block
the way Of the ship purchase bill. Sew
eral of the Democratic Senators Wro
are not stanch in their support Of the
administration programme are conspic-
uous advocates of the rural credits
measure.
The caucus began tonight the work
Of revising the ship purchase bill m
such way as TO enlist undivided sun
port from the Democrats. The task
viii probably not be completed until
the middle of the week. The question
whether the proposed corporation 10
be controlled by the government
should be chartered under the laws Of
one of the states or the District Of Co
lumbia presented so many difficulties
that the caucus referred II back 10 the
committee for a decision. Other ques-
tious of a technical nature prevented
rapid progress on the bill tonight.
Senator Smith. OF Georgia. offered an
amendment 20 provide that the vessels
acquired under the act shall be offered
under charter TO firms and corporations
upon terms which would pay per cent
on the investment. Senator Bankhead
proposed an amendment TO establish a
merchant shipping board I'm the De
partment of Commerce, 10 consist OF
seven members the Secretary Of Com
merce. Secretary of War and Postmas-
ter General and four other members
experienced in shipping and the opera
tion of building ship. The amend
mcnt proposes salaries OF $4,000 for the
four members who are 10 be appointed
by the President and approved by the
Senate.
Senator Salisbury proposed an
amendment authorizing the shipping
board to make rules and regulations
affecting shipping and water-borne
commerce in the United States in lieu
of those now IN force, 20 take effect
January J, 1916.
All of these amendments were re-
ferred back 10 the committee, with in
structions to report to the caucv- to-
morrow night.
Lines were drawn between the Demo
Gratis and Republicans over the ship
purchase bill as soon as the District
of Columbia appropriation bill was out
Of the way in the Senate to-day. Sena-
tor Burton was the first to take the
floor to begin the debate, which threat
ems to consume weeks Of time, declar-
ing he wished to make some observa-
tions on the measure that he was about
to make when interrupted on Janu-ry Z

Mrs. Gerry Roberts, wife of Jesse
Roberts, president of Roberts e. Co.,
manufacturers of neckwear, does not
feel bit flattered because Emanuel +.

restraining the Kleiner concern from
putting out any more of her pictures.

PLAYS Convict to Visitors.

Before | get away from the shops
must tell you the story OF the Brooklyn
men | showed about the next day, Sat
urdav. And the reason I'm doing IL is
TO bring out the point that the public
knows so little of man in prison.
convict, wen call him, just to bear
down hard.
A man goes to prison for a crime.
What does the public think? Well. il
thinks that after that crime the mans
whole nature has altered, changed; that
he's turned into a demon or something
only half human. After his imprison-
ment he's something apart from the
world; that's the popular idea. / dare
say many members of the City Club
thought the same thing before they
visited Sing Sing on Saturday. And,
Just TO demonstrate how much at least
two of them did know about convcts,
I'll tell a story. It's not a comment on
the City Club. It's a reflection on hu-
manity.
The Brooklyn City Clubs visit
marked the first time outsiders had
ever been shown over the institution by
inmates. Assistant sergeants-at-ar
from the Golden Rule Brotherhood were
the principal escorts. Intelligent young
chaps they were, too. The sergeant-at-
arms who headed the group-he gave
me a book the first night ! was in
prison, and he's going to have dinner
with me when he's sprung, next June
asked me TO act as one of the guides,
and as joke we decided to hide my
identity.
Two visitors were assigned TO me,
and | escorted them over the prison
the shops, the hospital and the cell
house. BY the way, both of them re-
fused even 10 go inside a cell to find
out how il felt Every time | asked

more interesting further down the cor
ridor. They only looked into the mar
