The Daily Ardmoreite. [volume] (Ardmore, Okla.) 1893-current, 1916-03-02

Washington, d. c., March 2.
President Wilson tells chair
man Flood of the senate for
eign relations committee that
he will consent to no compro-
mise on the armed ship issue
and desires a direct vote on the
resolution warning Americans
off armed belligerent ships.
Chairman Flood said he be-
lieved that some resolution ac-
ceptable to the president would
be agreed upon today.
1t is reported that ten men,
bers of the foreign relations
committee favor reporting out
the McLamore warning resolu-
ton, while nine are against it.
The administration forces on,
account of the delay in the
house, turned to the senate to-
day to carry out Wilson's de-
mand for the defeat of the re-
solutions warning Americans
off armed ships.
Chairman Stone of the for
eign relations committee an
,nounced that he is not in accord
with Wilson and proposed that
the senate adjourn to another
Legislative day to clear the par
liamentary situation, which
held the Gore resolution from
vote.
Senator Gore declared that
the impelling reason for this
course was the report that Will
son had told congressman that
war with Germany might not
be ungrateful and might result
in advancing civilization by
bringing about an end to the
European war by mid-sum-
mer."
Senator Stone vehemently
denied the report.
President Wilson and repub-
lican leader Mann will discuss
the republican attitude this af-
ternoon. President Wilson is
seeking the republican support.
There was a spirited debate
in the senate today over the
ship question. Senator Gore
defended his resolution, saying
81 think any American placing
German interests above the
United States, is a traitor, and
there are lots Of them"

To HAVE STRUCK

BUT is IN STATE OF "lNNOCU.
Gus OEsUETUDE" - PROPERTY
FOR SITE HARD TO GET.

The longer the hotel question is
delayed the more apparent it be-
comes that if Ardmore is to have a
big hotel the local capitalists are
going to have to build it, and for
that reason the president of the
Chamber of Commerce is urging haste
in formulating plans and getting the
movement launched. President Mullen
of the Chamber of Commerce has
been spending much of his time
lately in trying to secure prices on
suitable sites for a hotel, but states
that with a few exceptions he has
met with very little encouragement.
Most of the property owners, he says,
when they learn mat their lots are
being considered, will spring price
entirely out of proportion to what the
actual worth of it is, and for that
