homesteader living some fifteen miles

walked twelve miles through the

SHIP BILL
PASSES HOUSE
Goes to Senate Where Filibuster
Tactics Will Be Used to Kill
Measure. 4,

Washington, Feb. 17.-As amended
the government ship purchase bill
was rushed through the house early
today and failed to gain ground when
it reached the senate. Leaders are
doubtful of it's fate. 1t was discover
ed that the amended bill failed to
satisfy the recalcitrant democrats
and progressive republicans. Without
the support Of either of these fac
tions it could not be passed. All ef-
forts to send tie amended bill to con-
ference failed. Another attempt will
be made tomorrow by the republican
leaders, who insist the bill is dead.
That appropriation bills be taken up
before they cease opposition. Inter-
est centered on the special senate
committees inquiry into charges of
outside influences concerning the
ship measure. Despite the uncertain
ty of the situation among both senate
and house leaders, the sentiment is
there will be no extra session.

Curren and the Sand Pit.

Mr.. Curren of Valley City, contrac
tor building the new structures al
Jamestown, was recalled to ascertain
under what arrangements he used the
sand out of the pit on the institution
grounds. Mr.. Curran said it was Gus
tomary for the contractors on the
jamestown buildings to get this sand
without charge and he had SO bid
He said that he had taken this into
consideration in bidding as had the
other bidders so that the state was
not the loser.
Mr. Dvet examined him taking
notes relative to the testimony.
Leutz Makes Point.
Senator Leutz made the point that
probably the state saved money on
the contract by virtue of having the
sand so accessible as all contractors
figured this is ascertaining costs of
buildings.
At the conclusion of Mr.. Curran's
testimony. Mr.. Miller announced that
the board of control had not further
testimony to offer. The arguments
will be submitted by brief.
Arrived Nowhere.
It is generally felt that the knauf-
Seiler-Buck charges have failed to i'm
peach tile integrity or judgment of
the board of control. The board ad-
mits all the original charges but in
defense urges the best interests of the
state demanded the diversion Of funds
appropriated for new buildings.
Behind them is the Emergency Com
mission which authorized the diver
sion after Thomas Hall, secretary of
state, had made a special investiga-
ton of the jamestown buildings at the
request of the other two members of
the commission, Carl JorgensOn and
Governor Hanna.

LIMIT GIVEN MERCHANT
MEN TO COMPLY WITH
WAR ZONE ORDER HAS
NOW EXPIRED.
ENGLAND's TONE IS firm
Declares That She Has Not Been
Interfering Unduly With Our
Trade on Sea.

London, Feb. 1.-THE time limit
set by Germany for neutral shipping
to take measures for safety has ex.
pired and Germany now is expected
to put into operation her intention of
employing submarines and mines
against ships entering waters around
the British isles, which are declared
within the, war zone.
1t was announced from Berlin that
Germany's reply to the American note
protesting against such action has
been handed to the American am.
bassador at the German capital but
this reply has not yet been received
at Washington.
First Ship to Sink.
In the meantime Germany, in de-
velOping her submarine warfare, add
ed one more merchantmen to the list
of vessels destroyed by sinking the
French steamer Vile Delille off Cher
borough coast. Regarding land op-
erations, it is apparent from official
announcements issued by the French
war Office, that some heavy fighting is
taking place botk in Belgium and
France. The French claim not only
to have maintained ground recently
gained, but to have also captured
some German trenches. They repulsed
counter attacks by the Germans. The
French aviators dropped bombs on
the railway station at F'reiburg in
Breisgau.
NOTE IS MADE PUBLIC.
Washington, Feb. 17.-England's
second complete reply to the Amer
lean note Of protest which on De-
cember 2S, asked for early improve
ment in treatment of American CON-
merce by the British fleet, was made
public tonight by mutual agreement
between the state department and the
British, foreign Office.
The note is addressed to Ambas-
sador Page by Sir Edward Grey, and
denies depression in American indus
tries due to activity of the British
fleet. 1t suggests among other causes
the shortage of shipping facilities and
consequent diminution of cotton trade
and destruction by submarine mines
"laid by enemy Unfortunately" OF
many neutral vessels.
Charge 10 Denied.
After lengthy and detailed answer
to the charge tina American ships and
cargoes were being unduly detained,
the communication contains in it's con.
Guiding paragraph announcement that
England intends to take retaliatory
measures against German submarine
campaign and against the enemy's
ships. .
1t is conceded that foodstuffs in
tended for the civil population of the
country are not contraband, but it is
pointed out that lin any country In
which there exists such tremendous
organization for war as now in Ger
many, there is no clear division be-
tween those whom government is re.
