Too Much for Them.

Mr.. Stretcher-Yes. it's cold. but
nothing like what It was at Christmas
three years ago. when the steam from

VOTE AVALANCHE KILLS mclt-
MORE WARNING RESOLUTION
IN STORMY DEBATE.
HOUSE VOTE 276 TO 142
WILSON WILL Now DEMAND A
GERMAN GUARANTY OF AMER
IcANs' SAFETY AT SEA.
Western Newspaper Union News Service.


Washington. March S-President
Wilson Tuesday completely and decis-
lively won his long fight to have
Congress acknowledge that 1t stands
behind him in the submarine negoti-
ations with Germany.
To the rallying cries of Stand by
the President" and 'Is 1t Lansing
and Wilson or Won Bernstorff and the
Kaiser?" big Democratic majority
and nearly half the Republicans in
the House rolled up overwhelming
votes against the movement to warn
Americans off armed ships OF the Eu-
ropean belligerents.
The celebrated McLemore resolu-
tion around which the antiadminis-
tration forces centered their fight,
was tabled-in other words, killed
just as was the Gore resolution for
similar purpose in the Senate yester-
day. From the very outset OF the
fight yesterday the Presidents sup
porters, without regard to party,
swept over the opposition. On the
first vote, parliamentary proposition
resolution to amendment and unlim-
tied debate, administration forces
wen the day, 256 to 160.
On that, 1872 Democrats, 63 Repub-
licans and l Progressive voted to sup
port the Administrations; 81 Demo
Gratis, 132 Republicans, s Progress
ives, / Independent. and Representa-
tive London. the lone Socialist of the
House. voted against it. This was the
crucial vote of the fight; the one
point on which administration leaders
were uncertain. With victory in hand
they moved on to the next proposition,
the adoption OF a special rule for four
hours discussion of the McLemore
resolution
Again they carried the day, this
time 271 to 1913. and then pushed their
victory to conclusion by tabling the
McLemore resolution, 276 to 142.
In seven hours Of tense. turbulent
session, In which the administration
opponents charged that the President
vas contending for doubtful legal
right and was shifting the responsi-
bility OF diplomatic negotiations to
Congress, the House swayed back and
forth in the most sensational speech
spectacle OF a decade, probably un-
equaled since the eve OF the declara-
tion Of war with Spain. President
Wilson. calm, and confident, heard the
early results of the voting in the Cab
met room at the White House with
some OF the Cabinet grouped about
him. He told them he was much graf
flied with the support OF Congress.
Released from the bonds OF embar-
rassment forced upon him by the dis
sensions IN Congress which have
been represented in foreign capitals
as indicating that he was making his
demands on Germany in direct oppo-
sition to the sentiment of the elected
representatives of the people, Presi-
dent Wilson now stands prepared to
| go on with the submarine negotia-
tions with the central powers.

Storm conditions prevailed Mon

situation is apt to be slow, by rea-
sen of the fact that one big rotary
snow-plow is snowbound at Antonito;
another on the Rio Grande Southern

pushing its way on to Silverton, again
shut off from communication. with the
snow drifting ten to twenty feet high
In it's wake, according to reports.
Officials at the general offices of
the Denver & Rio Grande stated Mon
day night that the situation was
growing worse and could not predict
when the lines could be cleared.
Traffic throughout the various areas
affected by the storm conditions is
pra ctically suspended save on snow
shoes or on skis. Most of the high
way roads are impassable.
While the great bulk of the area of
Colorado is free from storm condi-
tions, the San Juan region in the
southwestern part of the state is cut
off from communication with the OUT
