death of a man taken TO the Physi-

day from Pennsgrove. who died
twenty minutes after being admitted
without divulging any accurate infor-
nation about himself or telling how
he was injured.
When admitted to the hospital the
man said his. name was william
Twiddy, that he was so years old and
was a hneman employed on the
Pennsgrove and Salem Railway. He
said he had a daughter living at No,

but refused to give her name. On his
right arm were tatooed the initials Il

Coroner Spring has telegraphed ia

inquiries at Carneys Point. The man
was a large fellow and apparently in
the best of health. Il was found

DEFEAT CUhM|NS
Resolution TODAY
Senate Went Fix Special
Day for Discussing
Wilson Peace Bid
SHERMAN SAYS
STUMP SPEECH"
BY ROBERT J. BENDER
United Press Staff Correspondent


WASHINGTON. Jan. 24.-By failing
to act today on Senator Cummins
resolution providing a day at least
Of general debate on President Will
sons address TO the Senate Monday.
the Senate today cleared the way for
general discussion OF the Presidents
ideas at any time.
While eftectually killing the oppor-
tunity for passage OF the Cummins'
resolution, Senate Democrats failed
TO eliminate the danger OF pro-
longed discussion on the Presidents
ideas.
After two hours Of wrangiine. acri
monious debate, the Cummina resolution
automatically went TO the calendar
whence Il can be called up at any tim,
luton cannot be taken without q vote
but the senator's mere motion to have i
called up can procipitate debate.
Following the Senate's failure to aci
on the motion, Crmmins declared he will
take advantage of his privilege to cal
IL up at every chance afforded.
In the wake Of. its non-Action today
the Senate faces the probability II az
extra session II Cummins carries cut hil
threat. Calling UP Of the motion viii
mean several hours delay every tim'
this occurs.
Democratic leaders offered as their
principal argument against setting
aside a special day for debate OF the
address the danger OF tying up legis'
lation 10 the point where an extnr
session would be necessary"
Cummins contended. however. the
Presidents proposal was vastly more
important than any legislation pend
ing, and he proposes TO guide HIS ac-
tions by this belief
Discussion In the Senate today
touched only In the lightest way on
the specific proposals OF the Presl-
