Zeigler, 40 years old, arrested by
military guards at railroad bridge
here Tuesday night, was bound over
to the federal grand jury late today
by United States Commissioner Fitz-

Zeigler's arrest followed an alterca-
ton with the guards, during which
they claim he offered to fight them,
failed to treat them with respect and
told them he would beat them up IT
they didn't have guns
District Attorney DeMar said that
such threats were reasonable and 1t
was on this contention that Leigler
was bound over TO the grand jury.
His bail was fixed at $1,000.

No Action on
Neutrality Today

WASHINGTON, March S.-Early
this morning. after more than eight
hours debate on the armed neutrality
bill in the senate, leaders reached an
agreement for a recess until 10 a. M.
without setting time for a vote on
the measure.
AT 12:45 o'clock the recess was
taken. The agreement was reached
after Senator La Toilette had with.
drawn his objection to taking up the
bill as passed by the house, with a
view to substituting. for 1t the broader
senate measure approved by the presi-
dent.
Democrats in charge of the bill pro-
posed this step 40 It can go to confer
ence Immediately after the senate acts.
instead of having to be sent back to
the house.
Senator La Toilette, upon whose at
titude' virtually depends when a vote
will be reached, declined to agree upon
time to vote. Numerous senators still
have speeches to make, and it probably
will be late tomorrow before the bill
goes to conference. Administration
leaders are confident that the house
will accept the senate substitute.

Both Sides Say They Have

In session less than two minutes the
conference committee of the West Vir.
ginia legislature which has under con.
sideration the appropriation bill fail.
ed to accomplish anything today.
Both houses met, heard prayer and
recessed until o'clock.
That the Republican Senate has con.
coded every point that will be con.
coded and stands ready to maintain Its
position indefinitely was the gist OF
declaration made by Senator w. P.
Hawley, chairman of the Senate FL
nance committee after short session
held by conferees.
I'VE have been sincere In our pc.
sition all along but have receded Just
as far as we intend to. We shall in
sist on the House bill as we amended
1t and you may say for me that this
is final. The amended bill represents
our last word in that connection"
In the House several Democratic
leaders declared that there is still
a chance of compromise but Republi.
can senators say that have gone as far
as they intend to go in that direction
and will never concur in the wish OF
House majority in relation to intemiz.
ing the appropriation for state and
other offices.
1t is said outside Of legislative cir.
cles that Senate Republicans have
taken an oath to stand by the bill
as amended in Senate Friday.

SUBS FEBRUARY
RECORD IS Low
Got Less Than Half As
Much Tonnage AS They
Need

Figures obtained in London and
vouched for there as authentic showed
that Germany succeeded during Febru
airy in destroying 100000 tons Of mer
chant shipping or less than one.hali
the one million tons she threatened
during the first month of unrestricted
warfare.
The tonnage destroyed exceeded the
total for January before the period OF
unrestricted action by less than 170,
900 tons, the January figure being
1921 tons, while 346,656 tons were
destroyed in December.
Military operations yesterday were
comparatively of minor Importance.
Berlin reports violent infantry en-,
gagements on both sides Of the Ancre
where the great German retirement
has been taking place. No mention is
made of ground gained or lost, how,
ever, the statement of results beins
confined to announcement that the
Germans took so prisoners and eight
machine guns besides inflicting cas-.
ualtIes of a sanguinary character.
Only raiding operators have oc'
Cured in the other Franco.Belgian
front sectors and the same is true OF
the Russian front, according to the
Berlin report.
West of Lutsk in volhynia, however,
a German raid was on an extensive
scale. Russian positions were pene'
trated to a depth of nearly mile on a
front of more than one and one.half
miles The results were the destruc.
ton of Russian dugout and the cap.
ture of 1872 prisoners and four machine
guns.
A Berlin wireless announces the
sinking of nine armed Russian steam
ers by the German submarine recently
sunk near Hammerfest, Norway. This
submarine had previously been report
ed foundered of the Norwegian coast
late in January.
