be perhaps above the quarantine line
within two years This hope is based
upon the probability OF county authori

Senator CumminS Loses Fight
for Immediate Discussion.
But Way Is Left Open to Call
Up Motion at Any Time.
STUMP SPEECH FROM THRONE
That "COmpliment' Paid Presi-
dents Address by Sherman.
Is Most Important Matter Ever
Before u. S. Senate.

Washington, Jan. 24.-Failing to
act on Senator Cummins' resolution
providing a day at least of general
debate on President Wilson's address
to the senate Monday. the senate this
afternoon left the way open for gen
eral discussion of the pres. dents ideas
at any time.
While effectually preventing, for to-
day. passage of the Cummins resolu-
ton, which provides specifically for
debate next Monday, senate Demo-
Gratis failed to eliminate the danger
of prolonged discussion on the presi-
dents IDEAS
After two hours of wrangling, acri-
monious debate, the Cummins resolu-
ton automatically went to the calen-
dar. whence it can be called up at
any time on Cummins motion. Ac-
ton on the resolution cannot be taken
without a vote. but the senator s
mere motion to have it called up can
precipitate debate.
Bitterly Denounced by Sherman.
Senator Sherman. Illinois, in a bit
ter denunciation of the presidents ad-
dress, declared it to be a stump
speech from the throne, d forestaIling
of public opinion and an attempt to
make the senate accept any treaty he
might make"
Alter Senator Stone had urged the
Cummins motion be referred to the
foreign relations committee, Senator
Shafroth approved the Stone move
and introduced a resolution advocat-
ing an international court with power
to enforce the DEGREES.
The Shafroth resolution provides
; each hfa
/ five Judges and that each contribute
from its naval and military forces to
back up the courts DEGREES.
/ Following the senate's failure to act
on the motion, Cummins declared he
will take advantage of his privilege to
! call 1T up at every chance afforded.
Fear Extra Session.
/ The senate faces the probability of
an extra session if Cummins carries
out his threat. Calling up of the mo-
ton will mean several hours delay ev-
cry time this occurs
Democratic leaders offered as their
principal argument against setting
aside a special day for debate for the
address the danger of tying up legis-
/ lation to the point where an extra ses-
sion would be necessary"
! Cummins contended the presidents
proposal was vastly more important
than any legislation pending.
Discussion in the senate was devoted
almost entirely to whether the Cum
minis resolution should be referred to
the foreign relations committee or to
partisan dispute.
! Most Important Ever Before Senate.
When Senator Cummins called up
his resolution, Senator Brandegee of
Connecticut, insisted upon a quorum,
saysing, this matter touches on the
most important question that has ever
been before the United States senate.
Senator Cummins then said:
1T will be observed that the res
olution does not invite, nor even pro-
perly permit a discussion at this time
of the soundness or unsoundness of
the purposes announced in the pres
ident's address l will do all l can to
