The most important part of the alleged plot is its condition and form. The whole plot falls fiat to the ground in case the United States does not declare war against us.

Neutrality Bill and Others Lost
 Pacifst Senators Are To Blame Congress To End At Noon Today
CONGRESS ENDS AS MANY BIG
 BILLS FAIL
SBy Review Leased Wirel

WASHINGTON. March 1.-The six ty fourth congress was approaching its close early today with failure Of some of the major administration measures certain and the fate of oth- CTS hanging in the balance.
 Held up by the determined opposi- ton of a small group of senators who threatened to prolong debate until the end of the session at noon. the PreSi- dents armed neutrality bill was giv- ing the leaders most concern.
 The naval bill. with its provisions for continuing the big building pro- gram, was one of the measures caught in the legislative jam, but it was saved when the senate shortly after one o'clock interrupted debate on the neutrality bill to approve a conference report already accepted by the house.
 House Shames Senate.
 Outstrippin" the senate in clearing away legislative odds and ends, the house recessed at 12:52 a. m. to 10 a. m. There was no prospect that the senate would interrupt it's session un- til expiration at noon.
 Democratic and Republican leaders united in an effort to break down the opposition in the senate and bring the armed neutrality measure to a vote Thron--a ,ae morning hours unusual pressure was brought to bear. but with little promise of success.
 Army Bill Doomed
 The annual army appropriation bill. and the civil sundry bill were among the measures of whose passage the leaders virtually had despaired,
 By recessins as soon as the im- mediate business was disposed of in- stead of waiting in session for the senate to report itself ready for ad- journment, the house cut short the period of song and celebration that usually occupies the closing hours of the session. Although the galleries were crowded. there were few drama tic features in either house or senate

Democratic and Re publican senators fayorins it prepared tonight manifesto to show the coun- try just where the responsibility will rest if the measure is not passed
 At midnight when the debate had developed strong indications that the bilPs opponents intended to prevent vote before the session expires at noon tomorrow, the mr nifesto had heen signed hy moro tiE-c Inai-''. : of the senate and friends of the bill said tha, in the end it- would bear the signatures of go percent.
 Shows knifers Up It was the intention to hold back the document until it became certain that no vote would be permitted and then to read it into the senate record with the names of those who had stood behind the Presidents program attached. The leaders had not entire ly abandoned hope of saving the meas ure and some of them thought circula- ton of the manifesto for signatures had increased the possibilities of pas sage. It was conceded. however, that the possibility still was remote.
 Bill Championed in Vain
 At midnight Senator Hitchcock. in charge of the bill, made another fu- tile effort to obtain unanimous con sent for limitation of debate and for a time to vote. He proposed to begin final voting at six a. m.
 An overwhelming majority of the senate is ready for action now, he said. "The bill passed the House by one of the most overwhelming major ities ever recorded there. l urge sen ators to give the senate an opportuni- ty to express its opinion
 Senator Clapp said he did not be- lieve it possible to reach an unani- nous agreement, as he knew that sev eral senators opposed to the bill de- sired to speak. He said he personal ly did not desire to delay a vote. Little Band Murders lt
 Disclaiming any desire to filibuster Senator Works said that while sen ate majority undoubtedly fayors the tiil a majority of the American peo- pie oppose any step which may lead to war. Declaring the bills friends had consumed more time than it's op- ponents, he added:
 If 1t fails. 1t may justly be said that it was killed by it's friends"
 Senator Hitchcock then withdrew his request and the debate was re- stunned.
