Senator Wadsworth of New York, au- thorizing sale of storage warehouses of the army quartermaster.
 A committee amendment appropriat- mig s5O,000,O0O for the shipping board was tentatively accepted after it had been amended on the suggestion of Senator Harding of Ohio, republican, so as to provide specifically that none of the money should be used except for meeting obligations already incurred by the board.
 During consideration of the amend ment, Senator Calder of New York, re- publican, sought to change it so as to prevent any part of the appropriation being used for the purchase of ships from the International Mercantile Ma rine, but his amendment was withdrawn after the Harding amendment had been introduced.
 Senator LaFollette of Wisconsin, repub- lican, in an address begun shortly after a. m., urged an immediate extra ses- sion of Congress. vigorously crticizng President Wilson for failing to consult with the Senate in conducting the peace negotiations. "A plain violation of the constitution MT. LaFollette asserted.

COLUMBUS, MISS.

Columbus, Miss, March 3.-(Special0-A A sensational difficulty in which D. A. Dun can, H. E. Duncan and Charles Long were the participants and in which pistols, knives and brick bats figured prominent ly took place immediately in front of the Lewndes county courthouse on North Second avenue this morning. Long used his knife freely on D. A. Duncan, hav- ing cut him in several places about the head and body. while H. E. Duncan bonn barded Long with brickbats, both men having been so badly hurt that it was
 necessary to summon physicians to dress their wounds D. A. Duncan fired sev-
 eral shots at Long, but all went wild. The two Duncans, father and son, who reside in the Caledonia neighborhood, had spent the previous night at boarding house on North Third avenue, and it seems that when they left the house at rather
 early hour the landlady became imbued
 with the fear that they were attempting 1 to beat her out of a nights lodging, and i requested immediate payment therefor. Long, according to statements made by l officers who investigated the case, heard l of the incident and began to deride the
 two men This aroused their anger and
 the fight ensued. All three of the bellig- | erents were arrested and taken before l Justice of the Peace T. M. Cummings,
 who placed them under bond to appear for ] trial at 10 o'clock Tuesday morning. i The Shuk-ho-ta ' Tom-a-ha chapter, 1 Daughters of the American Revolution,

STILL AT OLD TRICKS IN
 GRODNO, RUSSIA
Colonel Recognized Goose Step" of Members "Rus- sion Citizens " Commit
 tee Who Sought Food
Rv AssenIafed Press


 Warsaw, Saturday, March 1,-Col. Wh- jam R. Grove of the American food mis- sion, has just visited Grodno, having encountered no such interference from the Germans as offered by the Germans last month, when he was not permitted to pass through Bialystock between here and Grodno. He travelled to Grodno on special train from Bialystok on the pres ent visit
 He found about 300 German soldiers under command of Colonel Schultz. who, 1t is said, was embarrassed by the ar rival of Colonel Grove. He explained however, the need of food in the city and offered to have a "citizen's com- mittee explain the details of the situa- ton. When this committee appeared it was found to consist of six stalwart men of the German type, dressed in ill., fitting civilian clothes. One of them IS said to have been a German colonel who had hastily taken off his insignia ana who tried to pass himself as citizen or Grodno. Another man who said he was president of the town council is declared to have shown close acquaintance with the goose step used in the German army.
 Members of tho committee told Colonel Grove how they had been forced to trade | salt to the bolsheviki to get food and save themselves and their families from star vation.
 l Polish troops are now within 20 miles of Grodno.

Lodge Proposes That Senate Go on Record
 as Opposing League

@ (COntinued from Page 0ne) they did not believe the resolution went far enough.
 The statement to which the senators s names were appended follows:
 'The undersigned senators of the Uni ted States, members and members-elect of the Sixty sixth Congress, hereby de- clare that, if they had had the opportun- ity, they would have voted for the fol- lowing resolution"
 Then followed the text of the resolution Although not specifically declared in the resolution, Senator Lodge and other re- publican leaders explained privately that the prime purpose of tonight's action was to serve notice upon President Will son. the American peace commissioners, and especially the peace delegations or foreign countries, that enough senators of the next Senate are now formally pledged by signature, against the league of nations constitution as now drafted They expressed hope and confidence that their action would compel fundamenta revision of the league charter They also pointed with emphasis to the declar ation in the resolution that those favor ing the Lodge resolution also were m sympathy with movement for an agree ment between nations to promote peace and disarmament.
 Democratic leaders considered some action in the nature of reply to the republican move. Chairman Hitchcock of the foreign relations committee, Il was stated, was considering addressing the Senate on the subject. He pointed out privately that the resolution re cited that the present league charter "should" not be accepted by the United States.
 Senator Hitchcock said that while tht republican effort was to prevent "flat" declaration of opposition to tho present league constitution, the tern used did not necessarily imply that the, would vote against the present draft Pointing out that the constitution opposed merely was committee repor Senator Swanson said the resolution and the republicans indorsing 1t d' not say that they would defeat flna treaty containing the present leagu constitution"

SHERMAN RILED Bv Assocjafed Press

Washington, March 4.-Newspaper ac- counts of the dinner given by President Wilson to members of the democratic national committee, saying that the Pres ident had bitterly assaIed senators op- posing the league of nations constitution was the subject of an address by Sena- tor Sherman of Illinois, republican, early this morning in the Senate.
 The published reports read by the sena- tor said the President had referred to the senators as having pigmy minds" and that he had declared they should ''be hanged on gbbets as high as heaven, but pointing in the other direction
 Nothing has leaked out of the peace conference at Paris" said Senator Sher- man. 'more applicable to the war situa- ton than these threats of the chief ex- ecutive"
 Declaring that one account had quoted the President as saying that the heads of senators opposing the league were "nothing but knots to keep their bodies from unraveling," the Illinois senator said:
 This language is classic. He has added another matchless phrase to those with which he has enriched our American political literature
 Senator Sherman spoke at great lenStn and his humorous comments and scath- ing sarcasm caused senators and specta- tors alike to rock with laughter with only perfunctory Attempts at restrain made by the presiding officer

League Violated Corrupt
 Practices Act, Is Charged

This act provided, the majority report stated, that any political organization which endeavored to influence congress sional election in two or more states should file expense accounts with the clerk of the House of Representatives The committee asserted that the league had taken part in the campaign in nearly every state.
 It was charged in the report that the league was supported by the large in terests of the country which made enor. nous profits as the result of the entrance of the United States into the war; and that its plea of doing a patriotic work by circulating the so-caled "acid-test chart showing how congressman voted on important measures in recent years, and other literature was only a mask behind which it could serve the big in- terests and protect them during the re- construction period
