Senator Stone tonight and will be
pressed tomorrow. The bill declares
that commanders of all merchant
vessels of the United States and YES

States are hereby authorized to arm
and defend themselves against unlaw-
full attacks, and that the president be,
and is hereby, authorized and en-
powered to supply vessels with de-
fenSiye armament tore and att.

The bond issue was left at $780,
100000, as in the house measure, and
the president is empowered to use
other instrumentalities" in the emer-
gency in accordance with his judg-
ment."
When Senator Stone brought the
bill into the senate with request that
it be referred formally to the commit
tee, Senator La Toilette objected, and
as unanimous consent was necessary,
the matter went over until tomorrow.

An official of the Pennsylvania
railroad here said the list of dead may
exceed twenty, as fourteen bodies
have been recovered and at least six
are known to be dead in the wreck.
At this time the railroad company
is inclined to place the blame for the
wreck on the engineer of the freight
train, A. 7. Cook OF Harrisburg, who
had leg crushed. 1t was his duty,
said an official, to get off his engine,
walk ahead and look at signal in
case of fog, rather than run past it.

family, was killed, was coal opera
tor in the Clear Field region of Penn
