or the same line OF credit that
would be accorded a man OF the
same standing financially who was
III another line Of business. He was
dead wrong. He blamed the bank
Tor condition he had brought up
On himself BY his business methods.
There may have been, early In the
game, a time when some bankers
were more or less an.agoIistic TO
automobiles, but that time has
PASSED. Every good banker now
knows that the automobile is here
to stay; that ii is primarily a
necessity and he is willing to give
the dealer every consideration to
which his business ability and
financial responsibility entitie him,
II, then, other lines are in bet
ter credit standing than yours, the
fault is yours, not the bankers. for
the banker loves to loan his money
to a winner in any legitimate en-
terprise.
The problem is, how TO put your
business on just as high and sub
stantiai plane as other lines. T.
my opinion, and have tried to
watch closely, the many failures in
the retail automobile trade are due
to two things: price cutting" and
'sold cars There may be other
ce ntributing causes, one Of which Is
lack OF investigation before extend
ing credit, but these two things.
price cutting and "old cars tell
the story. and they have both been
worked over time.

More than this, we make Il our

our dealers are doing in this re-
sreet. A dealer is entitled TO his

and experience will fix that at about
the right figure.

Objected to Government 9
Providing Convoy for
Munition Vessels

Ex-senator 0'Gormsn returned 10
New York yesterday with denial thst
he had participated in the Senate MI
buster that killed the armed neutral
ity bill. He objected 10 the unquaii-
fed powers that the bill would give
70 the President, he said, and, conse'
ouently. refused to sign the manifesto
Of the Senators who favored the bill
Senator 0'Gorman asserted that ne ne
had no objection 10 the arming OF
,ne,chsn, vessels. but thought the bill
might be used 10 authorize WarshiP
convoy, to which he was opposed.
The former Senator's statement, IS
sued at his law ofice, 81 wall street,
said:
"The statement that participated IN
the Senate flibuster IS ent'reiy IN,

tion of the resolution pending in the

ure contained an authorization to the

Judgment, would improve the pending

had been discussed some days before
in the committee, prohibited merchant
vessels carrying munitions or other
war supplies from obtaining the pro
lection Of convoy. IL was generally

Bulgarian ENJOY Denies
Run,or of Break Uifh u. S.

Washington, March 6.-Minister Pa
naretofF, of Bulgaria, said to-day he
had no information that his govern
ment even was contemplating breaking
off diplomatic relations with the United
States.
Swiss reports, quoting the Balkan
News Agency. said that the Bulgarian
Minister would be instructed this week
to demand his passports on the ground
that american hostility toward Ger
many also must be considered as di-
rected against Bulgaria"
Ministe. Panaretof declared the Bal
kan News Agency to be Rumanian or

lieve that the relations between the
United States and Bulgaria will be dis
turbed, the latter having no subma-
rines.

Bipartisan House
Is Planned with
Clark as Speaker
Block Independents
Efforts to Hold Up
Business

Washington, March Bipartisan or
ganization Of the incoming House, with
Champ Clark as Speaker and the COM
mittee memberships and patronage
equally divided, is being discussed by
Democratic and Republican leaders as
a possibility in the event the five in
dependent members hold up business
by attempting to dictate how the
House shall be organized.
The Independents thus far have de-
clined to align themselves with either
Of the big parties. If they vote as
unit, as it now appears they may, they
can delay business in the House just
as long as party lines are maintained.
At best neither Democrats nor Re-
publicans will have more than 2l5
party members, and 21s are required
to elect a Speaker, except by special
agreement.
In case of a deadlock, many Demo-
Gratis and Republicans believe it would
be their patriotic duty to break down
party lines.
The desire Of the House &c keep IT.
record clear of any charge of tying
President Wilson's hands. as the Senate
did. is expected to play a big part in
converting members to the bipartisan
proposal.
Virtually every leader on either side
has been sounded on the bipartisan
ship plan, and no vigorous opponent OF
il a, last resort has been found. Re
publican Leader Mann is quoted as say
ing recently that he had rather see BIZ
partisanship of the House than to see
it controlled by small band of fill
busterers."
Some Republicans who have been
arguing that their party should not
assume control Of the House with a
big preparedness debt facing them
greet the bipartisan plan heartily.
they insist that in such times as these
il would be only fair for both parties
TO share the burden OF meeting debt
that was contracted on the insistence
Of both parties.

Plea for Opportunity of
Debate Is Shield of
Filibusters
Measure Reintroduced
MarshalPs Decision That 1t
Cannot Be Considered
Will Be Appealed
From The Tribune Bureau


Washington. March 6.-The armed
neutrality bill is almost before the
Senate again. Its friends indicated to-
day that they might push it through
during the extra session of the Senate,
so that it would be ready to go to the
House for action on the converting OF
the extra session Of Congress. when
every one agrees must be called not
later than June.
The measure was introduced to-day
by Senator Lodge, of Massachusetts.
At once a point of order was made by
Senator Thomas. of Colorado, that 1t
was legislation, and could not be con-
sidered in a special session Of the Sem
ate. This point was sustained by the
President. who said he did NOT
believe the Senate could enter upon
legislative work.
81 will be very glad TO have the chair
point out" said Senator Lodge, "any-
thing in the Constitution that prevents
consideration of legislative business.
Senator Reed, of Missouri. suggested
that until the effort to modify the
rules was tested out there would not
be much chance for the transaction OF
business.
To Appeal from Chair
Senator Walsh said that nowhere had
he found a statement that the Senate
could not 90 ahead and transact legis-
Iativc business while the House was
not IN session. An appeal from the
decision OF the chair will be taken.
Senator Vardaman took the floor TO
explain his position on the armed snip
bill and to disclaim filibustering. He
said he talked only sixteen minutes,
Ind never opposed a cloture, never
favored flibuster and had always
been in favor of a majority rule IN
Congress.
II will not. however" he said, "dele-
gate to the President trust reposed
by the Constitution in Congress.
am in favor of free and ample discus
sion. and after that an honest vote.
! did not sign the round robin be.
cause am opposed to the Senate bill
without the Stone amendment AMI
doubt the prOpriety Of such pro-
oeeding.'
"My colleague says Congress has
some rights" said Senator John
Sharp Williams. "One of its rights is
20 legislate, and to legislate we must
vote. A flibuster which is to render
the country helpless is not excusable.
It is true the Senator occupied but
sixteen minutes, but a filibuster was
conducted by those opposed to the
passage Of the bill"
Senator Vardaman asked if his col
league meant to charge him with COM
plicity, and hoped he would not make
the charge because it was not true.
Senate Called Contemplate
81 do not know what completely my
colleague had" replied Senator VIII
Jams, "but this is true. Its enem es
did defeat the bill. The Senate, the
greatest deliberative and smallest leg
islative body in the world, was unable
to express its will.

German Ships Ordered Out
Disabled Craft Must Anchor
Outside Honolulu Harbor

Honolulu. March 6. German mer-
chant steamships taking refuge in this
port were under orders OF the Harbor
Commission here to-day to leave their
piers and anchor outside OF the har-
Dor. It is said that the order was is
sued to guard against possible dam
age to the vessels if they continued to
lie at the piers.
As the machinery on board each of
the steamships has been disabled. they
will have to be towed 10 their anchor
age. In the event OF a southerly storm
they will be in n dangerous position
and in their disabled condition, il is
said, they are likely to be lost.

Owen Opens Cloture Fight

Other Senators did not agree with
the Smoot idea Of rule applying only
at the end Of the short sessions.
There was a cloture furry on the
floor Of the Senate also. Mr.. Owen at
tempting TO lay a foundation on which
cloture could be based without a long
filibuster against the change in the
rules.
81 WISH" said Senator Owen, before
any action is taken that will recognize
. the Senate as being bound by the rules
of preceding Congresses, to make the
observation that while the Senate is
p continuing body as an executive body,
10 is not a continuing body as a legis-
latiye body. All the bills on the calen-
dar died with the Gath Congress. We
have no calendar. We have no legisla-
tive committees.
~ wish TO make the point that the
rules are not binding upon new mem
bers who have had no opportunity to
participate in the making Of the rules
by which they are 10 be bound, and that
they are not bound in the legislative
business OF the Senate by these rules
Mr.. Owen said he made the observa-
ton for Tho Record. so that any pro-
ceedng would be by unanimous consent.
Lodge Cautions Senate
Senator Lodge called attention 20 the
fact that the committees of the Senate
were continued by resolution and could
exist only under the rules. The ques-
! ton whether the rules continue or not
is rather large one" which. he said.
he did not desire to discuss AZ this
time.
Senator Thomas said:
"The purpose OF the part OF some OF
as, not from partisan standpoint, but
from the interest Of the transaction Of
public business, is 70 amend the rules
II we can. II has been demonstrated
many times that whatever else we may
be able 20 do we cannot vote on d
pending measure in the absence Of
unanimous consent Some Of US think
that we should remain here until De-
cember, ~ necessary, in order that the
country may learn whether. in addi-
ton 10 that inability. we are too imbe-
Gle 10 amend our own rules"
Senator Owen consented TO the con-
tInuatIon OF the officers and stenogra-
pliers Of the Senate. saying they were
needed TO transact business. Senators
Martin. Walsh and Warren were mp.
pointed TO wait upon the President.

Washington. March 6.-An extra ses'
sion of Congress not later tnan JUN
now is generally conceded among ON
eials here TO be assured. Although
President Wilson has not gwen any
definite indication that he has fnaiiy
abandoned his hope that an extra ses-
sion might be avoided, there is an a.
most unanimous sentiment among SEN
ators. Representatives and officials OF
the executive departments that one

national situation does not demand IT,
Congress must come back to complete

gaps in the governments hnanelai
scheme caused b. failure of some OF
the more important appropriation
measures. ~,
So certain are many Members OF
Congress on this point that they are
speculating only on the probable date
Of the session. The general expecta-
ton among them, said to be based on
word passed out BY officials close to
the President, is that the end of May
or some time in June will be selected
as the time for the converting OF the
new Congress.
Armed Ship Bill First
Should the Senate limit debate ard
the Presidents legal advisers decide
he has no authority to arm ships with
out Congressional authorization, the
armed neutrality bill undoubtedly
would take first place among the meas
ures to be pressed by the Administra-
ton at an extra session. .
But aside from the internationa
crisis. the breaking down of the Admin
