AMENDMENTS TO /.
BILL VOTED UPON
Railroad Measure Set Aside for
Reading of Gen. Washing
toms Farewell Address.

Washington, Feb. 22.-The senate
laid aside the railroad bill a few min
utes to hear the reading Of Gen.
Washington's farewell address. When
that was concluded, Senator Stone
asked Senator Smith, in charge Of the
bill, to have the senate recess until
tomorrow, in memory of the former
president. .H
II am aware of the debt we owe to
Gen. Washington" replied the South
Carolina senator, "but am sure that
were he alive today and tho same
emergency confronted the country as
now, he would say go ahead" For
that reason Senator Smith said he be-
lieved it the senate's duty to emulate
Gen. Washington's example of duty
first" and remain in session so that
the. bill could be disposed of.
Senator Cummins' amendment,
bringing within the operation Of the
bill, all short line railroads, compet-
ing with other roads taken over, which
Mr.. McAdoo does not favor unless
found necessary. was adopted So to II.
The senate retained in the bill the
provision authorizing the president to
buy and sell securities with the $780,
100000 revolving fund, defeating 5S to
II motion by Senator Kirby, of Ar
kansas, to strike it out.
Long debate came on an amend
ment by Senator Smith, of Georgia, to
provide that any order by the presi-
dent would not interfere with the
bringing of suits by the public against
the roads. 1t was defeated without
record vote.
An amendment by Senator Town
send!' republican, of Michigan, specify
ing under what conditions and in what
manner legal proceedings can be
brought while the roads are under
federal control also was rejected.
The senate also went on record as
being opposed to restricting the presi-
dent to his legal powers in issuing ex-
ecutive orders in connection with the
control and operation of the railroads. |
An amendment by Senator Hitchcock, !
Of Nebraska, restricting the presi- |
1ents orders to those authorized by |
law" was defeated. i

Weight is given to reports that For

this disposes of rumors that the

In France and Italy there has been
no change in the general situation on
the lighting fronts. Small raids and
artillery duels continue, as does the
aerial activity. German artillery fire
has been heavy north of the Aisne and

Demands of Austrian socialists that

threat from the emperor that he will
dismiss parliament if the budget,
which the socialists have it in their
power to pass or defeat, is not given a
majority. Not only are the socialists
but the Czechs. Slavs and
Polish deputies in the Austrian reichs-
rath are openly hostile to the govern
ment in its war and peace policies. The
socialists have called mass meetings to
support a demand for the opening of
peace negotiations with the United
States.
