PRESIDENT ADMITS HE LACKS THE POWER TO ARM MERCHANT SHIPS
Continued from Page one)

(C0ntfnued from Page One) . thing at all. We cannot explain. The explanation Is incredible.
 The Senate of the United States is the only legislative body in the world which cannot act when it's majority is ready for action. A little group of wilful men, rep resenting no opinion but their own, have rendered the great government of the United States helpless and contemptible.
 "The remedys There is but one
 remedy. The only remedy Is that
 the rules of the Senate shall be so
 altered that 1t can act. The
 country can be relied upon to draw
 the moral. I believe that the Sem
 ate can be relied on to supply the
 means of action and save the coun-
 try from disaster."
 At the same time the President author ized the further statement that what rem dered the situation even more grave than it had been supposed that 1t was, was under his general constitutional powers, could do much of what he had asked the Congress to empower him to do, it had been found that there were certain old statutes as yet unrepealed which may raise insuperable practical obstacles and may nullify his power.
 OLD LAW PREVENTS
 The old law referred to by the Presi- dent was adopted by Congress in 1Sls and referred to the resistance of Ameri- can merchantmen against the attacks of privateers and pirates but excluded from vessels which might be so attacked "a

FOURTEEN HUNDRED NOMINATIONS FAIL
 T0PASS IN SENATE
Upper House Takes No Ac- tion But They Will Be Re- turned-Grayson's to
 Cause Fight

Washington, March 4.-More than 14o0 nominations sent to the Senate during the Senate by President Will son failed of confirmation. with ad- journment today. All of them probably will be returned when the Senate meets tn extra session Tuesday, with those of the cabinet and such diplomatic nomi- nations as the President may decide to make at the beginning of his new term.
 Most of those left over were army appointments. Among the more impor- tant other nominations were William B. Raymond and John Franklin Fort, to be members of the federal trade commission, Raymond H. Stevens to be member of the shipping board and Riley McMillan Little. Mrs. Frances c. Axtell and John J. Reagan. to be members of the employees compensation commission. On the navy list were Cary T. Grayson, the Presidents phy sician. to be medical director and rear admiral and the following to be rear admirals:
 Harry P. Huse. Robert S. Griffin, George E. Burd, James H. Oliver, John Hood, William S. Sims.
 Failure of the nominations was due largely to the fight on Dr. Grayson. whose name headed the nomination list. Efforts were made at first to reach a vote on the Grayson appoint ment or to get his name displaced, but all failed.
 It is probable that in the Senate's special session other nominations may be disposed of first and the way cleared for the fight on the Grayson appointment that Is bound to come and is expected eventually to result in con- firmation. About the others of import ance held up there apparently has been little controversy.

Washington, March 1.-The mild mill itant" woman suffrage campaign of pick citing the White House with silent sen- tinels'' came to it's climax today when a single file of women-about 500 of them marched round and round the White House grounds in a driving rainstorm while six of their leaders stood at a locked and guarded gate trying vainly for two hours to get an interview with President Wilson or one of his secreta- ries. They saw no one except police sergeant, who said the mansion was closed for the day.
 After the rain had thoroughly drenched not only the women but thousands of cu- rious inauguration visitors, the leaders sent in their cards and resolution advo- eating federal suffrage amendment to the constitution. Then they marched away.
 It was early in the afternoon when members of the congressional union for woman suffrage and the national woman's g party began assembling for the demon stration at their headquarters. about block away from the White House,
 The rain was coming down in torrents and some of the women had on yellow oil skins. Some covered their hats with pa- per and others had umbrellas. All carried banners of purple, white and gold.
 WOMEN ARE DRENCHED
 The early arrivals took their places in line behind the banners representing their respective states. The colored banners soon were soaked and the wind whipped the wet ends into the faces of their bearers.
 The women marched past their head quarters across Pennsylvania avenue near the inaugural court of honor, down be- tween the White House and the treasury building around the circle at the rear of the executive mansion and then up through executive avenue, between the White House and the state, war and navy building. A side entrance leading to the executive offices was reached, the procession halted a moment while the leaders detached themselves and walked to the padlocked gate. They sent the po- lice sergeant into the executive offices several times; once with a request for an interview; again with a request that they

 PRESIDENT BUSY AT CLOSE
 President Wilson was at the capitol during the closing hours of the session, signing bills as they were delivered to his office. Members of the cabinet and Secretary Humility with a staff from the White House were on hand to assist.
 Among the measures to which the Pres ident attached his signature were the naval and agricultural appropriation bills, a resolution providing for s15o, ooo, o0o bond issue to speed up warship construc- tion, bill postponing until July 1 the effectiveness of the prohibition feature of the postoffice bill, a resolution appro- priating $3,000,0O0 to continue work on the Ia rai1rnad and than 9 score of minor resolutions and bills.

turned without rising rom ms chalr. NO one can answer you.'
 No one did, for the hour of noon had struck and the Sixty-fourth Congress was ended
 Before the manifesto was presented many democratic and republican leaders worked unceas singy to prevent inevitable defeat of the bill.
 SENATOR LAFOLLETTE GLARES
 Senators Simmons, Pomerene, Hughes, Hardwick and other democrats aided by Senators Lodge and Borah, Brandegee, Southerland and Shoot and others tried to reach compromise with Chairman Stone of the foreign relations committee and the republican group. After midnight they practically abandoned the fight and prepared the manifesto to record the real sentiment of the Senate on the subject.
 After abandoning hope the de- feated senators determined to make Senator LaFollette pay for his coup by sacrificing the crowning fruits of his vic- tory. During. the early morning hours they worked out the plan to prevent him from delivering his address to the Sem ate. The time was fixed for 10 o'clock this morning, when most of the senators would be back in the chamber ready for adjournment.
 LaFollette, looking fresh and eager, entered the chamber while Senator Owen was speaking. He did not appear to be cognizant of the fact that the democrats were ready for him. When Senator Owen started to take his seat both Hitchcock and LaFollette addressed the chair. Sem ator Salisbury. presiding, under the rules, would be compelled to recognize the man who addressed him first.
 LAFOLLETE GETS PEEvED
 The chair recognized Senator Hitch
 L.xk " TH~II~A t..&1
 ''At o'clock this morning." he said, when I sought recognition I was told that when the vice president left the chair he had left list with the names of two senators upon it who might be recognized before I could be recognized. They were Senators Owens and Hitch cock. I recall that sometimes these lists are disregarded by presiding officers and I would like to know if I am to be rec ognized." He made this statement as a parliamentary inquiry and Senator Rob- inson mmediately made point of order that it was not proper inquiry under the Senate rules.
 LaFollette's voice began to rise
 q do not care,'' he shouted, what point of order the senator makes."-
 The Arkansas senator insisted on ad- dressing the chair again and LaFolette moved out into the center aisle and down into the well before the clerks desks.
 STIR IS CREATED
 The almost deserted Senate chamber quickly began to fill. Democrats, many of them warned of the coup to be sprung, hurried in with confident smiles to enjoy the spectacle of seeing filibuster pitted against filibuster. LaFollette, quickly sensing the situation, raised his voice almost to a shriek, and shaking his fin ger menacingly at Senator Salisbury shouted:
 T will continue on this floor until I complete my statement unless somebody carries me off the floor and l would like to see the man do it."
 Before LaFollette could conclude the sentence Senator Robinson leaped to his

 It will be noted that the President re- ferred to the opposition group as con taining Il members, whereas 13 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 Presi- dent had eliminated also Senator Stone in his list, because Stone announced he opposed the bill, but did not oppose a vote.
 The Senate has been called by the Pres- ident to meet in special session tomor- row in accordance with the custom of such sessions at the beginning of each administration to install the vice presi- dent and confirm nominations.

 Meanwhile the file of marchers, led by band, had walked around into the court of honor in Pennsylvania avenueA There they halted and the White House and its grounds were completely sur- rounded by drenched women. They stood' at attention until their leaders at the gate received their first rebuff. They then resumed their march, keeping stepI with the martial music of the bands This! was loud and brisk at first. But the' water finally silenced the drums and them upturned horns filled with water were| strangled
 The march was led by Vida Milhol- land, sister of Inez Milholland Boissevain, who. until her death recently in Cali fornia, was one of the most active work CTS in the suffrage ranks.
 The demonstration was carried out without any such disturbance as that which marked the suffrage parade on the day before the last inauguration. Po- licemen in uniform were stationed about every 50 feet inside and outside the high iron fence surrounding the executive man. sion.
 TWO MEN IN LINE
 There were just two men in the line of marchers. One marched holding an um- brella over his wife. The other carried a banner for some woman unable to march.
 There were women and girls of all ages and sizes in the line. The oldest, suf- frage leaders said, was S6. The youngest was just 5 There were working girls marching next in line to the wives of mil ltonaires.

SOUGHT TO BREAK FILIBUsTER

The closing moments of the session were tense and impressive. Ten minutes before the end Senator Hitchcock had made his last appeal for unanimous con- sent for vote on the bill. LaFoilette ob- jected., The Nebraska senator, prefac- ing his closing remarks with portion Of President Wilson's address to Congress asking for the authority about to be de- ned, solemnly said:
 'It is unfortunate and deplorable that 12 men in the Senate of the United States have it in their power to defeat the will of 75 or 80 members by one of the most reprehensible flibusters ever recorded in the history of any civilized country"
