 PORT A DEADLOCK.

Washingtrn May 9.-Anorher day of conferences on he war army bill ended with senate and house con. feres still far apart and several df- ference in the bill as it passed the houses An the~ effort to get to. .eether, probably the laet. will be made tomorroS
 There was evidence tonight tha the .sena7e ceuferees were about ready to report a deadlock and ask for further instructions They are ins sting cn the senate provisions to enforce pro hibiti.n at army posts and 10 permit Colonel Roosevelt to raise division The differences in the age limit of those subject to the select've draft. 2l 10 27 n the senate, and 2l 10 40 in the house bill, also are still dis. pu;ed, but they probably could be ad- iusted if the other two issues were out o1 the way.
 Senat rr on the committee feel that unless the administration exerts strong pressure the senate will insist on retaining he Roosevelt amendment and the h2use members are of the decided opiu on that the house will not accept it. There have been all sorts or suggestions of trades or compromises, but none has been ac. ceptable in a case where beth com. mittees feel that a question of prin- ciple i5 involved

Neutral Traffic
To Great Britain
Nearly Suspended

London. Feb. 2.-The whole Of
Europe, neutral and belligerent, is
anxiously awaiting the action of the
United States on Germany's note an
bouncing its new submarine policy.
Meanwhile large proportion of neu-
tral shipping is being held in port or
recalled.
Traffic between England and Hol.
land and Engl; nd and the Scanda-
navian countries, so far as il is car.
RED, on bysneutral ,yessels,2is held up
This is as serious Wr the neutrals as
for England, as tie smaller countries
depend upon Great Britain for many
things, particularly for coal.
Liverpool ship owners today eX-
pressed the view that the new declar-
alton of the submarine warfare will
not affect transatlantic traffic, but the
number OF Americans who contem-
plated returning home during the
next few weeks have hastened their
bookings.
The Holland-America aht. the Nor.
wegian Atlantic liners are the only
ones whose voyages have been can
celled or postponed.
Thus far the results of the new
policy have rot been reflected in the
losses OF ships recorded by Lloyds'
shipping agency, today's list being
about the same average size as for
some weeks past.
The comment of the evening news.
papers on the situation follows
largely that of the morning journals.
Most Of them are concerned with
what President Wilson will do.

CITIZENSHIP OF
HMELL IN DOUBT
= of Douglas Senator
RNot to Have Completed
~ His Naturalization.
WHAT MOORHEAD SAYS

Lincoln, Feb. 2-(Special )-Sen-
ator Ed Howell of Omaha has served
several terms in the Nebraska state
senate with much, credit, honor, glory
and other things, and now it appears
that there is an attempt to take it all
away from him, the charge having
been made that he is not naturalized
citizen of the state and. therefore, not
entitled to serve i'll the legislature.
The matter became SO persistent
that the democrats OF the senate have
held a secret caucus, so secret that
very little is known about the matter,
and Howell insists that even he is
prohibited from discussing the mat
ter.
1t is asserted that Mr.. Howelrs
father never completed his naturaliza
ton, and as the son was not born in
this country, but in Canada, it will
result in the delegation from Douglas
being short one man if the charge is
substantiated. Nobody appears to
know where the thing originated, ex-
cept that it came from the senator's
home city.
The records in the Office of Election
Commissioner Moorhead, based on
Mr.. HowelPs representations when he
registered show that his father took
out his second naturalization papers
IN Otoe county when the present
state senator was IA years old. Mr..
Moorhead said last evening that this
was the information furnished from
his Office when the question of Mr..
Howelrs citizenship came up.

THE FIRST VICTIM
Euphrates, Carrying. Supplies
to Europe, Torpedoed on
Trip to United States.
SEVERAL OF CREW SAVED

London, Feb. 2.-Official informa-
ton received concerning the sinking
Of the steamer Euphrates shows that
the probable first victim OF the new
submarine policy OF the central pow
ers was Belgian relief ship.

of relief supplies from the United
States and was homeward bound in
ballast when it was torpedoed. Sew
eral members of the crew have been
rescued and have reached all outlying
port.
In connection with the sinking of
the Euphrates it is pointed out that
all relief ships, even when homeward
bound, conspicuously display the flags
of the commission for relief i'll Bel
gium and carry balls at the mastheads,
the latter to prevent aerial attacks.
They also carry the safe conduct Of
the German consul general at Rot
terdam, just as loaded vessels carry
safe conduct from the German con.
sui general at New York.
New York, Feb. 2.-The steamship
Euphrates was under charter to the
Belgium Relief commission and
would have taken another cargo from
New York for Rotterdam had it re-
turned safely to America, it was said
by representatives of the commission
here today. 1t carried crew OF be-
tween twenty-five and thirty men,
none of whom was an American, so
far as is known.
The sinking Of the Belgian steamer
Euphrates, of 2,809 tons gross, was
announced by Lloyd's shipping
agency on February /,
London, Feb. 2.-The Norwegian
steamer Portia, OF 1,l27 tons gross,
