ter. was arrested last night by Police
man Holden on q charge OF drunk
eness. He was placed in the city Jail
overnight and upon his appearance in

He paid $2.45 Of this and was allowed
to go. Immediately upon his release

ed by Constable Harry Connors on
a warrant for carrying liquor through

suit case unlabelled, and half pint
Of the same brand in his pocket.
Held on two charges, that of bring.
ing more than half gallon OF whiskey

to catch his breath and went to jail
to think the situation over. He will

WASHINGTON, D. O., March p
Administration forces faced with delay
in the House, turned today to the Sen:
ate to carry out President Wilson'S de:
mands for the defeat of the resolution
warning Americans off armed ships
OF European beligerents. a
Chairman Stone, OF the Foreign Re-
lattons committee, announced openly
from, the floor that he was not in ac-
cord with the President on the issue;
proposed however. that the Senate
take an adjournment instead of an.
other recess, and thereby get into a
new legislature day, relieving the par
liamentary situation which thus far
has held Senator Cores resolution
from coming to vote.
His action was taken after con:
ference of administration leaders who
were. satisfied they had the votes to
defeat the Gore resolution and demon
strate to Germany that dissension
against the Presidents foreign policy
does not have the support OF Con-
gress.
"It has been decided to bring the
resolution up for action as soon as
possible, but not probably today, said
Senator James, Of Kentucky one of
the administration supporters. I'VE
have got the votes in the Senate
to smash it."
Senator Stone at the outset OF his
proposal, made a statement of the In.
ternational situation as he understood
it. Senator Stone declared It was his
hope that something could be done at
once to bring the President and Con-
gress more closely in accord on the
