ATTORNEY GENERAL s
OPINION IS ASKED ON
PRESIDENT POWER
Democrats of New Senate
Caucus to Start Fight for
CIoture Rule as Suggested
by President
(By Associated Press,l

WASHINGTON, March 5-President
Wilson has referred to his legal advis-
ors, his doubts Of his power to arm
American ships in the absence of direct
authority from congress. Some de-
general within the next twenty-four
hours.
A Democratic senate caucus has been
called for 1890 tomorrow morning at
which one Of the subjects discussed will
lie fight for a cloture rule to prevent
ilibusters by a few senators such as
killed the armed neutrality bill.
The president advocates immediate re-
form of rules by the senate at the ses-
sion called for today to prevent a small
minority from holding up legislation in
the future.
After. twelve senators, led by Senator
La Toilette, had defied the wish Of an
overwhelming majority to vote on the
neutrality bill until forced adjourn
ment yesterday noon carried the meas
ure down to it's death. President Wilson
issued a statement denouncing the OBJ
struetionists and expressing doubt
without legislative sanction.
Referring to the filibuster, the presi-
dents statement said:
1.-THE result in this case is a complete
paralysis alike of the legislative and
executive branches of our government.
"a little group of wilful men. repre-
senting no opinion but their own, have
rendered the great government of the
United. States helpless and contempti-
BILE.
although as a matter OF fact the ma
ton and the representatives Of the ma
ton stand back of the executive with
unprecedented unanimity and spirit, the
impression made abroad, of course, will
be that it is not so and that other gov
ernments may act as they please with
out fear that this government can do
anything at all. We cannot explain.
The explanation is incredible"
The presidents statement followed
a conference at the White House be-
tween Mr.. Wilson, Secretary McAdoo.
Postmaster General Burleson, Colonel
E. NJ. House. Vance C. Mccormick.
chairman Of the Democratic national
committee, and Secretary Tumulty.
1t will be noted that the president
referred to the opposition group as
containing eleven senators. whereas
thirteen who had opportunity to do so
failed to sign the manifesto. Senator
Penrose did not sign. but said he would
have voted for the armed neutrality
bill had opportunity been afforded.
It was assumed that the president
had eliminated also Senator Stone IN
his list, because Stone announced he
opposed the bill, but did not oppose
vote.
The senate has been called by the
president to meet in special session to-
day in accordance with the custom of
having such sessions at the beginning
Of each administration to install the
vice president and confirm nominations.
There has been much discussion of
late of continuing the session this time
to consider changing the senate rules.
A persistent fight has been waged for
wears for some form Of cloture and
opposition to it has dwindled in spite
of the powerful tendency to resist any
tampering with traditions Of the SEN
ate. Debate there always has been I'M
limited.

WASHINGTON, March 4.-The senate
early this morning agreed to the Moon
resolution postponing the date of the ef-
fectiveness Of the Reed bone dry" reso-
luton in the postal appropriation bill
until July 1 next. The house adopted
the resolution early last night.
After having once objected to unani-
nous consent for the consideration of
the moon resolution postponing the op-
Grafton of the law, Senator Vardaman,
Of Mississippi, at $3.50 o'clock this morn
ing withdrew his objection and the reso-
luton was passed by tine senate. 1t had
passed the house early Saturday.
BY a vote of 2S4 to Sc the house
had already adopted the Moon resolution
designed to postpone enforcement of the
-bone dry" amendment to the postoffice
bill, became effective today, until July
/.
Representative Moon, of Tennessee,
chairman of the postofice committee,
who offered the resolution, declared
that President Wilson, who signed the
bill today, would have vetoed it if he
had not been assured the extension I'M
til July l would be granted by con-
gress.
Some of the most active dry" work
ers; including Democratic Leader Kitch-
in and Representative Sims, of Tennes-
see, Joined with wet" representatives
in urging adoption of the resolution.
They were opposed by Representative
Howard, of Georgia, and Representa-
tive Almon of Alabama.
Supporters of the resolution insisted
fairness should warrant it's adoption.
They declared that many distillers,
taken unaware by the law so suddenly
enacted had large stocks of liquor on
hand which they could not possibly move
under the statute as 1t stands except
at a loss. Many banks, too. it was de-
clared, hold large amounts of ware
