POLICY BY OVER
Washington, March 3.-The senate
today formally gave notice to the
world that it stands behind President
Wilson.
By vote of GO to IA the senate
voted down Senator Cores resolution
to warn Americans to keep off armed
ships.
Amid dramatic scenes unparalleled
since the United States declared war
against Spain, the senate tabled
Cores resolution as requested by the
president.
It was just ten minutes and forty
seconds from the time the fight on
the resolution began until Vice Presi-
dent Marshall announced the vote.
The administration leaders were
ruthless today in giving the death
blow to the opposition to the presi-
dent.
After the vote on the Gore resolu-
ton, the way will be cleared for the
state department to resume it's ne
gotiations with Germany for a set
tlement of the Lusitania matter.
By the single record roll call the
senate swept aside not only the Gore
resolution, but all amendments and
all substitutes.
It clinched, decisively, the whole
question in favor of the administra-
ton.
Vote for the president, including
as it did Senators Stone and Gore,
was result of amendment Gore offer
ed that the killing of an American
citizen by a German submarine would
be a cause of war.
Senators considered that this would
practically amount to notice upon
Germany that war would be declared
by the U. S. upon, killing of a single

merchantmen without warning.
Cores surprising unexplained elev-
enth-hOUr move in offering what was
practically a new resolution and an
ultimatum to Central Powers caused
several senators to change their
votes.
Senator James, veteran of many
convention trays, led the administra-
TONS fight on the floor. He roared
dCWn opposition in forcing the final
vote with it's dragnet carrying all re-
solutions and substitutes on the ques-
ton to their official death.
Senator McCumber opened the
fight Unexpectedly by offering a reso-
luton as a substitute for the Gore
resolution. It declared in view of the
questionability of the validity of sub
marines, it is the duty of every Amer
lean citizen to abstain from the right
to travel on an armed merchantmen,
until the president and other cOun-
tries should agree on the submarine
question. 1t was laid on the table.
Senator James then called up the
Gore resolution and demanded the
ayes and nays on tabling it. Gore
countered with an amendment to his
resolution and asked to discuss it.
He was fencing for chance to open
debate.
His amendment stated that the
sinking of an armed merchantmen
by a German submarine and the
death of an American should be
deemed a cause of war with Ger
many.
James called again for the ayes
and nays, but GaIlinger demanded the
resolution and it's amendments be
read again. This was done.
Clark of Arkansas raised the point
of order that the resolution as
amended could not be considered to-

ROOT TAKES KNOCK
At WILSON AND HIS
POLICY IN SPEECH

NEW YORK, Feb. 16-The policies
of President Wilson and the Democrat
dc administration toward the interna-
tional situation arising out Of the Eu-
ropean war and the Mexican disurb-
ances, and as relating to domestic con-
d;tions toward the tariff, were attacked
ty former United States Senator Elihu
Root today in his address as temper
ary chairman of the New York State
Republican Convention, in assembly
here.
No other presidential election since
1854 has been so fraught with conse-
Guences so vital to national life as the
Gle now approaching, Mr.. Root said.
and all ordinary considerations whicn
play so great a part in Presidential
campaigns" are and ought to be dwarf
ed into significance" He promised that
ii the Republican party is returned to
power the people may expect foreign
policy which will leave mo doubt any
where in the world of Americas pur-
pose and courage to protect and de-
fend her independence, her territory
and the lives and just rights of her
citizens under the laws of nations" ("
and that the people may expect, also,
that "the government will stand for
full and adequate preparation by the
American people for their own de-
fence"
MIR. Root charged the present admin
istration with "the lack of foresight to
make timely provision for backing up
of American diplomacy by actual or
assured military force;" with "the for
feiture of the worlds respect for our
assertion of rights by pursuing the
policy of making threats and of failing
to make them good;" and with "a loss
of the moral forces of the civilized
world through failure to truly inter-
pret to the world the spirit of
American democracy in its attitude
towards the terrible events which ac-
companied the early stages of the war
These, said Mr.. Root, were the admin
istration's three fundamental errors :"

UNCLE SAM FACES
A CRITICAL FUTURE

NEW YORK, Feb. 16.-The United
States faces one of the most critical
periods in its history and the destiny
of the republic for a century to come
may well be determined by the con-
duct of the government and the senti-
ment OF the people as exercised and
expressed during the next four years,
United States Senator James w. Wads-
worth, Jr., of New York, told the
New York state republican convention
here today. Senator Wadsworth ad-
dressed the convention as its perma-
nent chairman. He declared that only
the European war had saved the coun-
try from being now "in the depths of
the blacklist kind of industrial de.
pression," and declared that unless a
protective tariff is created there will
come from foreign sources, after the
signing of peace, an Industrial invasion
such as the country has never yet ex-
perienced,
Senator Wadsworth touched upon
the democratic policies toward the
Mexican and Philippines questions, de-
claring that rightly or wrongly" the
people of other nations regard America
today "as lacking in determination,
lacking in virility, shrinking from
those responsibilities and obligations
which must come to every great ma
ton"

Pro-ally, and the further circumstance
that the Ninety-Seventh Canadian
Overseas regiment, popularity known
as the American Legion, had its birth

military authorities to suspect the

One unidentified man, whose body

Captain Asa Minard, an officer of
the American Legion, was badly in

and the caretaker Of the building also
sustained probable fatal injuries.
Three members of the caretakers' fam

Million Dollar Loss.

NEW. YORK, Feb. 16.-Three steam
ers, the Bolton, Castlean and Pacific,
together with nine hundred feet of
piers at the foot of Pioneer street,
Brooklyn, were burned early this
morning. Their destruction was
wrought by disastrous fire which
swept the river front at an early hour.
The steamer Pallazia was damaged by
the flames and about twenty-five scows
ard lighters either destroyed of bad
ly damaged.
All but two persons known to have
been in the vicinity when the fire was
discovered have been accounted for by
the police, and hope is expressed that
these escaped in small boats and will
yet be found. The property loss in
volyed will amount probably to a
million dollars, with an uHznown
amount of insurance.
Some of the vessels destroyed and
damaged were loading munitions and
war supplies for the Entente govern
ments in Europe, and the origin of the
fire is uncertain.

SUMTER NOT IN TINE
FIRST PENSIONS tn
BE PAID BY STATE

ATLANTA, Ca, Feb. 16.-Warrants
for the first installment of the 1916
pension appropriation will be signed
by Governor Harris on Saturday and
checks will be Immediately mailed out
to the various counties which are to
share in this installment.
This first installment will amount to
S449,160 and will be distributed among
81 counties. The counties which are to
share in this first payment are those
which were paid last in 1915. OF these
Fulton county, with 1,123 pensioners,
will receive the greatest amount. S67.-
500; while Mcintosh county, with but
10 pensions, will receive the smallest
sum- LAO.
1t is expected that the second and
last installment Of pensions will be
paid about the middle of March, when
all the remaining counties will come
in for their share of the pension fund,
(Which this year amounts to $975, 900.
The second installment will, therefore,
amount to $525,S4O.
None of the new pensioners added
to the rolls this year will be paid in
either of these installments, and none
of the increases in pensions provided
by the last legislature will be included.
This is due to the fact that the number
of the new pensions and the amount
OF the increases run higher than was
anticipated by Pensioner Commissioner
john w. Lindsey, who will apply to
tie legislature this summer for an ex-
ira appropriation of between $4,000
and 100000 to cover these items. In
the event the extra appropriation is
allowed the payments will be made
some time next fall.
