Senate May Avoid Vote
Unless Forced by House,
President Is Informed

we'll informed democratic senator
today made the statement, conveying
the same Information to the White
House. that the Senate will ignore the
consideration of resolutions touching
upon warning to Americans travelling
on armed merchantmen unless COM
PEELED to take it up through action by
the House. In the event the Senate
is compelled to act, it is stated. the
President will be sustained in that body
by a large majority.
A vote in the Senate on the subject
means. it is asserted. the political
death knel of several we'll known DEM
acratic senators in close states where
the German vote predominates. This
is notably true. it was said today, in
the cases of Senators Pomerene, Reed
of Missouri and Kern of Indiana, not
to mention a number of others. Prom
inent republican senators are in the
same danger in other states. The con-
sequence is that there is decidedly
definite feeling in the Senate that no
vote will be taken on resolutions I'M
less action by the House compels this
step.
Most of the senators who fear the
political consequences are supporters
of the foreign policies of the Presi-
dent. but are compelled to cope with
a large German vote in their respective
states.

So far as can be judged, their sup

NEW YORK ENDORSEMENT
PLEASES THE PRESIDENT
kilograms From Leaders Say he Has
Gained Strength in Last
Two Weeks.

White House officials and close friends
of the President are pleased with tele-
grams they are receiving from demo-
cratic leaders assembled at the demo-
cratic state convention at Syracuse,
n. Y. These messages are almost uni
form in representing the President as
having grown immensely in strength
in that state the last two weeks, since
the conflict with Germany and the
House over the question of warning
armed merchantmen. 1t is asserted
that thousands of republican and indie
pendent voters have been added to the
Presidents support and probably will
remain with him.
The party leaders are represented as
having forgotten their soreness and as
being for the President, with i'll feeling
and pessimism lacking.
The information is particularly cheer
ing to close friends of the President,
who have long realized that New York
was bad spot for the democrats Tn
til recently the organization leaders
were cold toward the national admin
istration and the people generally ap-
peared to be in the same attitude.

BUYING OF RACE HORSES

LONDON. March 2.-Francis Dyke

treasury, announced in the house of
commons that the government has pur-
chased for f65,0oO the breeding farms
in Ireland and Wiltshire of Col. William
Hall Walker. NJ. p, who in last Decem-
Der made a gift to the nation of horses
valued at $4,000 for breeding pur-
poses. Mr.. Ackland in making the an
nouncement said:
LAS it is important that horses to be
used as sires should be tested on the
race course. arrangements have been
made to lease several two-year-olds to
Lord Lonsdale. who has agreed to re-
turn half their winnings. Personally
regard racing as a low form Of sport.
but it is necessary to give the sires
q trial on the race course"
Several members criticised the pur-
chase, one declaring it ridiculous to
use such high-class sires for breeding
cavalry horses, and another remarking:
while the government Is preaching
economy it spends $4,000 on race
horses" The house finally consented to
the purchase.

McClellen Continues Testimony

Discussion of the relations of Louis
D. Brandeis to the United Shoe Ma
chinery Company was continued be-
fore the investigating committee yes
terday afternoon by Edward f. Nc
CIennen. Mr.. Brandeis law partner.
McClennen's testimony dealt chiefly
with Brandeis resignation from the
company's directorate in 1906. the re-
tention in 1911 of the Brandeis firm as
counsel for shoe manufacturers who
sought to obtain machinery free from
conditions imposed by the companys
leases and the publication of an opin-
ion given in 1910 by the Brandeis firm
that he leases were invalid under the
antitrust law.
Brandeis resigned from the com
pany's board Of directors. the witness
declared, because he could not bring
about the correction of certain fea-
lures of the leases which he regarded
as Objectionable and for which he felt
he was in measure responsible so
long as he remained a director.
The employment of the Brandeis firm
by shoe manufacturers fighting the
machinery company, five years after
Brandeis had resigned. was explained
by McClennen. He said the manufac-
turers paid the firm $500 and that
Brandeis paid back that amount from
his own personal funds.
