ned beneath the car and was
pulled out by others who were
occupants of the car when the
accident occurred. He was
badly bruised about the head
and face, his back was injured
and he was unconscious for
some time. He was removed to
the home of his father, T. H.

morning that he is improving
and no serious results are fear
ed.
Those who were occupants

SENATE ENDORSES
WILSON'S COURSE
War Like Attitude Toward
Germany Approved by
Vote of 70 to S

Washington, Feb. 7.-Presi-
dent Wilson's severance of dip
lomatic relations with Germany
was approved formally by the
Senate today.
By a vote of 78 to 5 the Sen
ate adopted a resolution sub
mitted by Chairman Stone of
the Foreign Relations Commit
tee endorsing the withdrawal
of American Ambassador Ger
ard from Berlin and the giving
to German Ambassador Won
Bernstorff his passports.
Senators who voted against
the resolution are: Democrats,
Kirby of Arkansas and Yard
man of Mississippi. Republi-
cans, Gronna, North Dakota !;
Works, California, and La Fol-
lette, Wisconsin. Hours Of de-
bate preceded the vote, but
the only active opposition came
from the five senators who vot-
ed against the resolution. Re-
publican leaders joined the
Democrats in declaring their
whole-hearted support of the
president.
Senator Kirby made his first
address to the Senate, an i'm
FASHIONED declaration that he
would not support the resolu-
ton.
81 regard it as a preliminary
declaration of war;" he said,
eff the resolution shall devoted
upon favorably today. I do not
believe the time has come in
the history Of this country when
we shall side with Germany or
when we shall side with the al
lies. The time has not come, in
my opinion, when we should
commit ourselves by the adop-
ton of this resolution to any
policy that the president may
hereafter pursue. Under the
constitution and the law he has
no power to declare war, but
he has the power to plunge the
nation into war and to make
it necessary for Congress to de-
clare it, and he has almost
done So"

AGED MAN DIES.
IN LIVERY STABLE

James Young, aged about 80
was found dead Tuesday night
at the Loftin livery stable in
Newport. Death is supposed to
have resulted from an attack
of heart disease. Young had
been permitted to sleep in the
stable by the owner, and little
was known of him in Newport,
but he was a man of some edu-
cation, and had evidently been
in better circumstances in for
mer years.
