WASHINGTON March 2.-The next
move in the program OF putting the
United States in a state of armed neu-
trality to deal with Germany was de-
layed in the Senate today by objec-
tions of some members, based on the
exigencies of parliamentary situa-
tion, until 4 o'clock
At that hour an effort will be made
to substitute for the armed neutrality
bill, which last night passed the
House, the Senate bill which confers
on the president the authority to use
"other instrumentalities" in addition
to arming merchant ships.
Status Remains Unchanged.

final VOTE
ON NAVY Bill
(By Associated Press)

WASHINGTON. March 2.-Under an
agreement to take final vote at
o'clock this afternoon, the senate to-
day continued consideration of the big
naval appropriation bill. Debate on
the measure had almost been conclud-
ed.
The action of Republican senators
including Senator LaFollette in agree
ing to take final action on the naval
bill after employing dilatory tactics
against the measure and passage by
the house of the armed neutrality bill,
gave renewed hope at the capitol to-
day of clearing the legislative conges-
tion before March 4 and avoiding an
extra session of congress.

OLD SILVER NECKLACES.

The silver necklace is coming into it's own again. Do you. remember when your grandaunt wore one at- tached to a big silver locket, contain ing the photograph of her most pre- cious friend? A Frenchman, living in Bulgaria, collected number of these silver necklaces and sold them in America. They are being shown at hotel in the East Twenties at prices which scarcely seem, to pay for the precious metal. Silver seems somehow to associate itself with girlhood. These necklaces in their simple daintiness would be charming wear for a schoolgirl in ner best frock. There is one of linked clover leaves, for instance, each leaf en- graved with a bird. It has inagina- tive charm. Each bird is different i'll in shape or poise. Some one put a bit of his artistic soul in it, and here it is for $10.
 There are necklaces of coins, scme of which are probably 1,60O years old. One, ending in a cross of small coins, is priced at only SIS. A single coin in the necklace may be worth a great deal mofe to a collector. There are slender chains with tiny ball decoration at $5, daintly sweet!
 This collector has the queerest things among his old silver One

 WOULD CHANGE
 WHOLE OF LAW
Brandegee and Tilson Try
 ing Hard to Do Some thing for Railroad.

Washington, Jan. 12. Senator Frank Brandegee and Congressman John Q. Tilson introduced simultan- eously in the Senate and House of Representatives yesterday an amend ment to the Interstate Commerce law which would give authority to the In- tersate Commerce Commission to use it's discretion in regard to what rail- roads should or should not be allowed to continue their connection with steamship lines. The amendment which was agreed to at conference between Brandegee and Tilson a few days ago, is aimed primarily at q clause in the Panama Canal act which would compel the New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad to dis pose of it's holdings in the Sound line steamers plying between Bridgeport, New Haven and New London and New York.
 The amendment is most simple and takes out the one word "and" and in- serts the word "or'' in it's place in such a way as to change the whole meaning of the law.
 The Senate amendment was refer red to the Commerce Committee. Sen- ator Brandegee is a member of that committee and will do his utmost to get a favorable report on it without

wonders how he came to possess a number of Russian Communion cups that must have been in the posses sion of church. They are tiny in- dividual cups, so very individual that one, presumably belonging to an of ficer of the Royal Navy, is engraved with a sea-scape and ships. They are quaint to use for medicine cups. if one has not sufficient reverence for curious things to place them in sil- yer cabinet. They run from $2 to $5. The larger ones would make suitable vases for a single flower. There are Russian cigar cases engraved with the legendary Russian gentleman in his sleigh furiously- trying to escape from pursuing wolves. |
 It isn't possible to describe all the treasurers that are on these filver tables. One is only alienated' from the Spanish gypsy belts because the Guernsey water pitcher or the dear little Dutch chairs are claiming ones attention. And this isn't all, for our collector here has a knack for find ing the unusual, and one of his finds is a bracelet made of chains of seed pearls woven into fabric. It has a clasp of rubies and large pearls. What he is willing to sell it for would not pay for the clasp.

Umatilla, Oregon, Jan. 12.-This city began it's spotless, crimeless and altogether ideal career last Wednesday as community under the rule of wo- men-and women only. Mrs. Laura J. Starcher, the new Mayor, has assumed office and MT. Starcher, her husband, whom she defeated handily at the last election, has stepped out.

 But they at and took their medi- cine" There was nothing else to do. for the women beat them fairly at the election.

Private Shipyards Build 1,163 Trade
 Boats During 1916

The Bureau of Navigation, Depart ment of Commerce, reports that du- ring the calendar year 1916 private American shipyards built 1,163 mer- chant vessels of 520,S47 gross tons which have been ifficially numbered for American shipowners and accord ingly are now in trade or about to en- gage in trade. American hipbuilders also built 50 vessels of 39,392 gross tons for foreign owners, making to- tai output of 1.213 vessels of 560,239 gross tons for the twelve months The record output for the United States was 614,216 gross tons built during the 12 months ended June 30, 1908, and the 1916 record was also exceed ed during the fiscal year 1855 when 583,45O gross tons were built, all of wood, except iron vessels of 1891 gross tons.
 Of the 1916 output 152 vessels of 414,029 gross tons were built of steel, which was exceeded by the output of 149 steel vessels of 45O,017 gross tons during the fiscal year 1908. The out put of that year, however, was mainly for the Great Lakes, while most of the steel tonnage of 1916 has been built for the ocean foreign trade.
 Returns of merchant tonnage built in foreign yards during 1916, incom- plete thus far, seem to warrant the opinion that during the past 12 months American shipyards have done more to maintain ocean foreign trade uniterruptedly than the shipyards of all other nations together except Great Britain. For the first 9 months of 1916 ocean steel merchant tonnage of American shipyards exceeded by 3O,- 900 tons the British output, but after May 30, British shipyards began to in- crease work on merchant shipping.
 The following details of vessels built and officially numbered in the United States in 1916 compared with 1915 are reported by the Bureau of Navigation, Department of Commerce.

Supt. Beach interprets the opinion to mean that any person may now en- gage in the passenger-carrying or ex- press business, using an automobile without taking out a city license. They will still be subject, however, to reg ulations relating to public stands and parking. The decision and opinion do not apply, as Supt. Beach under stands it, to horse-drawn vehicles. Dri- vers of hacks operated as public car riages, and of horse-drawn express wagons, will have to pay for the priv ilege of wearing a badge, the same as heretofore. The Supreme Court decision, as explained to him, applied only to automobiles and their drivers engaging in the public carriage busi- ness.
