 Republicans.
Senator Stone Talked for Four and One-Half Hours--As Last Resort Senators Favoring the Passage of theBill Prepared Manifesto to Be Given the Public.

Washington, March 3.--The bill to empower President Wilson to estab- fish a policy of armed neutrality deyel- oped such persistent opposition in the senate tonight that some Of it's warm est supporters began to fear # could not be passed before the session ends at nOcn tomorrow.
 Virtually all of the trouble came from a small group of progressive rt. puolicans who blocked every effort to get unanimous consent or limiting de b2te or setting q time or a v-te.
 Democratic lenders appealed to the republicans 10 aid them in swinging the little group into line, pleading that in the present sris.s failure of the bill would mean national dishonor and dis grace.
 For the most part the republican leaders showed a willingness to cc- operate. As the debate proceeded into the night however, without any tangi. ble evidence of O break in the oppo. sition the admin stration senators grew more dubious about the pres pect
 The embarrassment of the demo- orats was increased by a dramatic speech by Senator Stone, chairman Of the foreign relations committee, oppos- ing the bill as a war measure That, however. was tho only evidence oi de feciion in the democratic ranks
 On behalf of the administration san- ators, Senator Simmons conferred with Senator Brandegee of the regular re publicans and Senator Kenyon, repre- senting the progressive republicans, both of whom have supported the bill, urging them to intercede with Sena- tors I.aFollette, Norris, Gronna and Cummins, the four progressive repub- licans who refused earlier in the night to accept any proposition to eXpediate passage.
 While negotiations were proceeding seevral senators sought to induce friends of the bill to refrain from dis cussing it in order to force the four progressive republicans to take the floor None of them had yet spoken at length. They would not admit that { they intended tc filibuster, but they had given nC Jce of an intention to discuss the measure fully and that was Interpreted to mean that they were reservtpg themselves for a final effort 10 talk the bill to death.

Washington, March 3.-In briefs filed today with the supreme court the United States Steel Corporation, it's directors and subsidiaries present. ed the defense to the federal govern ments dissolution suit.
 The corporation, the defendants as- sert, was not formed with intent to monopolize or restrain trade. has not since done so, has actually had bene- ficial and not harmful effect upon the iron and steel industry, is a good contamination" and has neither pow CT nor has it shown disposition to con. trol production prices or crush com petitors.

MANY VACANT HOUSES.

There are many vacant houses on
the North Side and the landlords are
glad to get good tenants to protect
their properties. Many vacancies are
caused by men going to war. Several
respectable families have given up
housekeeping. The dependable ledger
is not easily found. High cost of liv-
ing in buffet-fat at the present price
of "wet goods" has caused several
excavations. Those Shylocks who
could get double rent year ago, can't
get tenants now. They raised the
price whenever they could rent houses
to those who ran the amalgamated
buffet flats; and by SO doing they have
made their property undesirable and
must wait for rehabilitation of that
section. They will find that moderate
rent from honest and respectable ten
ants is a better and more lasting rev.
enue than excessive incomes from a
lawless element. who are here today
and gone tomorrow.

of the great war game for which he
has forsaken the links. He has been
under fire many times, and the night
drives he has been forced to make,
along rough and treacherous roads,
without lights, have convinced him
that war is terribly serious game.

three miles Of the 'front.'" wrote Car

the sensation that comes over one
