HOT TILT BREAKS OUT

WASHINGTON, April 3.-Robert M. LaFollette, United States Sen ator from Wisconsin, blocked the efforts of the United States Senate to rush consideration of the war resolution today. Hardly had the Senate Foreign Relations connmit- tee reported out, with slightly changed and strengthened resolu- tion in full accord with the Sug- gestions made by President Wilson in his message last night, than Senator LaFollctte used his pow sT ES put svsf fer sst.s ae1t eues sd7y the consideration vrs.s. ' Y
 So the United States Seiate ad- journed at II o'clock without acting on the Administrators state of war resolution.
 Democratic Floor Leader Senator Thomas s. Martin refused to con sent to any other bushes until this measure to which Senator LaFol- lette had objected to, is passed.
 The session of the Senate, from the time La Toilette objected to the immediate consideration of the war measure. was more pointed than po- lite. Senator Martin said that he thought it unnecessary to allude to the tremendous consequences of the bill and he asked La Toilette to withdraw his objections.
 La Toilette replied that Martin was trying to lecture him and said that he had perfect right under the rules to ask for one more days time. Senator Martin jumped to his feet in a rage.
 T had no idea of delivering a lec- ture." he said. '.I have q right to call the attention of the Sehate and Senators to the tremendous conse- quences of the reason ihvoIved' { "It is quite unnecessary" hotly re- piled La Toilette" to call my atten- tion to the consequences. insist on the regular order"
 "Of course you reason with un-s certainty" replied Martin with res- ignation. but I have right to com ment on the resolution"
